In order to predict and model the responses of vegetation to future climate change, it is essential to understand vegetation responses to climate. In this study I used kNDVI, temperature, vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and ...
Serine hydrolases are one of the largest and most diverse enzyme families. The members of this family play important roles in almost all physiological processes and many are therapeutic targets. Yet many of their members ...
Ribosomes decode some codons termed ‘optimal’ with greater speed and efficiency than ‘non-optimal’ codons. The codon composition of mRNAs thus plays a vital role in regulating gene expression by modulating mRNA stability ...
Seifert fiber spaces are compact 3-dimensional manifolds that are foliated by circles. Seifert fiber spaces with isolated singular fibers have been well-studied. We focus on Seifert fiber spaces which have singular surfaces ...
This study conducts a thorough exploration of the mineralogical composition of a surveyed geochemical anomaly pinpointed within the Mare Tranquillitatis territory of the Moon. Employing a multidisciplinary methodology, it ...
Lead halide perovskites are being extensively explored in recent times for their promising
optoelectronic properties. However, lead toxicity and structural stability impose some
limitations for their wide spread ...
Carbene is the key reactive intermediate that has been utilized widely in varieties of synthetic transformations ranging from cycloaddition to site-selective functionalizations. Controlling the reactivity of carbenes is ...
The homoleptic lanthanide-amide complexes (Ln[N(SiMe3)2]n (n = 2, 3), (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Ho, Yb and Lu) were introduced in 1973 by Bradley and co-workers. However, their catalytic potential is not well ...
Global surface temperatures are increasing, and extreme weather events like heat waves are becoming more frequent and intense, posing a threat to the functioning and dynamics of tropical forests around the world. The study ...
This thesis delves into the realm of Hidden Valley models, which introduce the intriguing concept of a new gauge group alongside the Standard Model gauge group, connected by a heavy mediator particle. Seeking to discern ...
Self-assembly is undoubtedly one of the most efficient ways to create complex materials with distinct functions. The ability to control the interparticle interactions between the building blocks is the key to achieving the ...
Magnetite is a well-known ferrimagnetic material with a metallic cubic inverse-spinel structure at room temperature and a high Curie temperature of 858K. Magnetite also possesses a low-temperature phase transition known ...
CrO2 is a well-known half metallic ferromagnet with TC ~ 400K. In granular form, surface layer CrO2 contains another oxide Cr2O3, which is an insulator. Due to the presence of insulating surface layer, granular CrO2 is ...
This thesis attempts to abstract and generalize some key features of the composite fermion (CF) wavefunctions. CF theory successfully explains the experimentally observed fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) in the lowest ...
This thesis presents a comprehensive study on Indian free-ranging dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) through a longitudinal census and an investigation into the long-term effects of sterilization on their time-activity budget. ...
Integro-differential operators arise naturally in biological modeling and mathematical finance. We aim to conduct an in-depth study of integro-differential operators and their regularity properties in this thesis. We start ...
The α,β-unsaturated γ-lactams represent important synthetic targets due to their presence in natural products, diverse biological activities, and their utility as building blocks for the synthesis of other compounds. These ...
Membrane tubulation coupled to fission is fundamental to numerous cellular processes. It manifests in all known forms of vesicular trafficking and its precise regulation is critical for inter and intra-cellular cross-talk. ...
This thesis investigates the charge density waves (CDW) in two transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Doping and strain are used to tune the CDWs, helping to understand the ...
Thermoelectric materials are a fascinating class of materials that possess the unique ability to directly convert heat energy into electrical energy and vice versa. In recent times, they have attracted significant attention ...
