Integrin-mediated cell-matrix adhesion is known to regulate cell growth and survival, which is deregulated in transformed cancer cells that acquire the ability to grow without adhesion, becoming anchorage-independent. ...
Plants have a remarkable capacity for wound-healing and regeneration, which can be investigated easily in Arabidopsis thaliana. Regenerative responses in Arabidopsis are broadly categorized as tissue culture-induced, or ...
Plant response to herbivory has been extensively studied using folivore as a model system. Plants exhibit various defense strategies in response to folivore attacks to protect and prevent themselves from further attacks. ...
The thesis is entitled as “Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Tuning Electronic Properties in Planar and Large Porphyrinoids”. These larger porphyrinoids have a greater number of heterocyclic units and the meso ...
This study investigates the morphological classifications of galaxies in the early universe by employing the capabilities of Morpheus, a deep learning framework, in conjunction with the UNCOVER and CANDELS datasets from ...
This dissertation investigates the application of Quantum Annealing (QA) to the detection of optimal arbitrage opportunities, comparing its e cacy against classical approaches such as Simulated Annealing (SA). Arbitrage, ...
Unraveling the origin of unconventional superconductivity in cuprates has remained a long-standing enigma in the field of highly correlated systems since the discovery of high-temperature superconductors in 1986. The normal ...
Photocatalysis with plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) is emerging as an attractive strategy to make and break chemical bonds in a sustainable fashion. However, the fast relaxation dynamics of the photoexcited charge carriers ...
The circadian cycle is an approximately 24-hour cycle of physiological and biochemical processes in organisms. At a cellular level, the circadian clock comprises core clock genes showing oscillatory expression with a period ...
Bacteriophages have emerged as promising biological tools not only for combating infectious bacteria but also for facilitating the exploration of intra- and inter-protein interactions. However, conventional methods for ...
The world is witnessing an unprecedented level of pollutants in the oceans today. With this rise in pollution, there is an increase in concentrations of contaminants such as heavy metals and micro- plastics, which pose a ...
X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a way of dosage compensation that occurs in female eutherian mammals. There are two modes of XCI: Imprinted XCI where the paternal X is silenced predominantly, and random XCI where one ...
Nanotubes are a novel class of materials that show unique properties due to their one-dimensional backbone. Hydrogen-bonded organic nanotubes (HONTs) are among the most promising supramolecular nanotubes because of their ...
In this project I have tried to characterize representative soil types of India based on their cation exchange capacity in relation to other physical and chemical parameters. The samples for the measurement are collected ...
Characterization and control in quantum dynamics are paramount for the emerging field of quantum technologies. In the realm of quantum mechanics, the Schrödinger equation or Von-Neumann equation governs quantum evolution. ...
Helices are important secondary structural motifs within proteins, formed via hydrogen bonds between amino acid main chain atoms, playing pivotal roles in numerous physiological processes. Variations in the properties of ...
This thesis aims to study quantum transport in one-dimensional and quasi one-dimensional lattice systems. The first part deals with non-interacting fermions showing long-range power-law decaying hopping on an open ...
Thermoelectricity is a promising technique to tackle the worldwide energy demand, pollution and resource depletion, which harvests energy by the direct conversion of waste heat into electricity. The limiting factor of this ...
Heparin is a linear polysaccharide comprised of alternating α (1,4)-D-glucosamine (GlcN) and β (1-4) glucuronic acid (GlcA) or α(1,4)-L-iduronic acid (IdoA) units. It is used as an anticoagulant to treat arterial thrombosis. ...
This thesis extends the formalism of first detection in quantum walks from the detection of a single state to the detection of a subspace within the quantum system. Using the insight of bright/dark state formalism, which ...
