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 ...
The primary objective of my doctoral research was to elucidate the fundamental principles
underlying ion channel formation through non-covalent interactions and to investigate their
anion selectivity within the lipid ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress leads to the development and progression of complications associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The cellular antioxidant glutathione (GSH) is crucial in maintaining systemic redox ...
Hostplant location and conspecific aggregation on the hostplant are the key behaviors of several herbivore insect species. The cues used by insects for host identification and aggregation initiation have been researched ...
This thesis presents a comprehensive investigation into the synthesis and fabrication
of heterostructures comprising transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and lead
halide perovskite materials. The research focuses on ...
In [BS19], Balasubramanyam and Sinha derived the first moment of the pair correlation function for Hecke angles lying in small subintervals of [0, 1], as one averages over large families of Hecke newforms of weight k with ...
Let F be a totally real number field, r = [F : Q], and N be an
integral ideal. Let Ak(N, ω) be the space of holomorphic Hilbert cusp forms
with respect to K1(N), weight k = (k1, ..., kr) with kj > 2, kj even for all
j ...
The nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs: ATP, GTP, CTP, and UTP) are the building blocks of RNA, and apart from that, they also serve specific functions in cellular metabolism, performing cellular processes such ...
The thesis entitled “Heterostructured Thin Films of Coordination Polymers: Study on Growth and Electrical Conductance” primarily focuses on the fabrication of lattice-matched and lattice-mismatched heterostructured thin ...
This thesis studies some geometric properties of knots in real projective 3-space. These ideas are borrowed from classical knot theory. Since knots in $\mathbb{R}P^3$ are classified into three disjoint classes: affine, ...
