Myxococcus xanthus is a social bacterium. It has a complex life cycle, and motility plays a vital role in predation and fruiting body formation. It shows two types of motilities, Social and Adventurous. It is known that ...
Growing interest in modelling complex systems from brains to societies to cities using networks has led to increased efforts to describe generative processes that explain those networks. Recent successes in machine learning ...
Polymer nanocomposites are an important class of materials that exhibit distinct physicochemical properties that are inaccessible with individual components acting alone. These nanocomposites have recently attracted intensive ...
Microbes are known to exchange metabolic intermediates among each other. Though understanding the complex network of metabolic interactions between microbes remains to be studied extensively. We created synthetic consortia ...
Caulobacter cresentus, a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the class alphaproteobacteria, is found mostly in oligotrophic aquatic environments. It has a distinct cell cycle pattern that is also coupled to a developmental ...
Recently, Water pollution and environmental pollution due to excessive iodine contamination received widespread attention in terms of human health and environmental protection. Iodine sequestering is highly critical, both ...
In this thesis, we study the possibility of nudging interacting individuals on a network, using strategic information disclosure, to make pro-social decisions during epidemics. By posing our problem in the framework of ...
In the dimorphic bacterial model, Caulobacter crescentus stalked and flagellated
pole-specific localisation and activation of proteins leads to cell-fate determination and
asymmetry during the cell cycle. For example, ...
There are many problems in physics that are not well understood due to the complexity of the
underlying theory. For example, many-particle physics is difficult to study through theoretical analysis or the inefficiency of ...
Quantum computers are expected to revolutionise computing. An essential step towards that is to implement high fidelity quantum gates. In the thesis, we try to build an universal SU(2) gate set consisting of Z gate, X(π/2) ...
At the current time, policies are widely guided using accurate and reasonable indicators of progress in their respective field, thus indicators related to environmental resources are also the need of the hour. It is clearly ...
The nasal microbiome and its dynamics appear to play a role in the progression of respiratory illnesses. Understanding these changes would contribute to the mechanistic deconvolution of vaccine-related pathways, open up ...
For any country, understanding and interpreting precipitation dynamics is of great importance. In India, rainfall patterns profoundly influence daily livelihoods and economic development. Thus, it is essential to get ...
Multiferroics are materials in which magnetism and ferroelectricity coexist. They are of fundamental interest to understand how magnetic ordering can affect electric dipolar
ordering and vice-versa. Moreover, they are of ...
Determination of the mass distribution of various astrophysical objects is of utmost importance in multiple studies in astrophysics and cosmology. Strong gravitational lensing is a valuable tool in the estimation of mass ...
This study estimates the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) of India and the MPI of 6
Zonal councils of India using the data set India Human Development Survey(IHDS-2),
spanning all states and union territories of ...
DNA topoisomerase IIβ -binding protein 1 (TopBP1) is a mediator protein that regulates cell cycle checkpoint signaling pathway. A plethora of studies suggest that TopBP1 protein levels are high and positively associated ...
Etale cohomology was introduced by A. Grothendieck and developed by him with the help of M. Artin and J. L. Verdier, to explain A. Weil's insight that for polynomial equations with integer coefficients, the topology of the ...
A home-built AC susceptometer is designed and fabricated for the measurement of phase resolved linear and nonlinear AC susceptibilities. The set up is designed for measurements in the temperature ranging from 77K to 300K, ...
Microbial infection is an all-time threat to global public health which includes the ever-increasing infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi. The scientific community have been developing various ...
