This thesis aims to serve as an excursion into the theories of homology, cohomology and characteristic classes, conventional tools used to study topological spaces and vector bundles with origins in Algebraic Topology. ...
The cellular senescence pathway is a stress response pathway involved in limiting the proliferation of cells that are at risk of becoming cancerous. Tumour suppressor genes of the cells get activated during senescence ...
Correlation functions are one of the most important objects in CFTs. Momentum space
CFT correlation functions have wide range of applicability in contexts of cosmology, con-
densed matter etc. CFT correlators in momentum ...
Sensitivity to perception varies on a moment-to-moment basis. It has been shown to be
dependent on the phase of spontaneous ongoing oscillations in the low frequency (alpha and theta) bands. When inputs arrive at this ...
The sensitivity of coral reef ecosystems to natural and anthropogenic stresses makes them vulnerable to changes such as global warming. As a result, coral reef ecosystems need to be prioritized for conservation action. ...
When moving through dense environments like a forest or traversing sparse landscapes like a desert, animals use bright, reliable visual cues like the position of the Sun or the polarisation pattern of the Sky to get their ...
Glass forming liquids show abrupt increase in viscosity below the glass transition temperature.
Dynamical heterogeneity is a signature of the glassy system where a group of particles has higher mobility than the rest of ...
The calculation of solvent entropy from a molecular dynamics simulation remains to be a challenge due to the difficulty of sampling the large phase space of even a small system of 1000 water molecules in realistic time ...
Star formation is one of the key processes through which galaxies convert their gas into stars, and that in turn leads to the stellar mass growth of a galaxy. Not only that, star formation is the key parameter that divides ...
In today´s world, every human being faces problems like global warming, pollution and energy demand crises. The scientific community believes that the long term solution for these problems is reducing CO2 into energy-dense ...
A very well-known hallmark of cancer is chromosomal Instability (CIN). CIN leads to mitotic aberrations and thereby causes chromosome number variations in cancer cells. My study reveals such chromosome modal number changes ...
Melt-condensation approach is well known for the transesterification to synthesise polyesters and was developed for synthesising polyurethanes and poly(ester-urethane) from our group by using amino-acid, a bioresource for ...
For the upcoming High Luminosity operations of the LHC (HL-LHC), one of the major upgrades for the CMS experiment is the replacement of existing endcap calorimeter with new High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL). The calorimeter ...
In the first course in ring theory, we learn about primes and irreducible elements. An easy proof tells us that if an element is prime then it is irreducible. It is, therefore, very natural to ask the question “How many ...
Black Holes have an entropy that can be shown to depend on the area of its horizon. In this context, we look at the possibility of entanglement of quantum field modes across the horizon being the source of this entropy ...
An estimate by World Urbanization Prospects suggests that by the year 2050, around 69 percent of the global population will live in the urban areas. Over the last several decades, the National Capital Region (NCR) of India ...
A major task in phenomenology today is constraining the parameter space of SMEFT and constructing models of fundamental physics that the SM derives from. To this effect, we report an exhaustive list of sum rules for ...
Topological insulators are gapped states of quantum matter which cannot be adiabatically connected to conventional insulators [1] and are characterized, among other aspects, by gap less boundary modes. They constitute an ...
Analogies are one of the most powerful and fundamental tools often used in science to
explain various difficult and often unrelated concepts. We explore the acoustic analogy
by analysing the behaviour of barotropic and ...
During the Last Glacial Maximum(LGM), geomorphological data show suppressed glaciation with a minor advance of 10km in several regions across the Himalayas relative to major glaciation in several parts of the world. This ...
