Investigations embodied in thesis entitled “INSIGHTS INTO SIMPLE METAL COMPLEXES TO NANOSCALE APPLICATIONS” were initiated in January 2013 in the Discipline of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology Indore, Indore, 453552, India. The focal points of thesis work are as follows- 1.&#...

With the recent advances in nanotechnology in the field of pharmaceutical and medical diagnostics, there is growing interest in studying the interaction of various nanoparticles (NPs) with proteins. The dynamic layer of proteins at the NP surface is known as “protein corona...

Gearboxes are most important and commonly used mechanism for power transmission in various applications ranging from automobiles, industrial machines, aviation, power plants, to the equipment used in our daily lives. Modal analysis is a tool to find out the dynamic characteristi...

Data storage is naturally a key technology that enables preserving information for the progress of modern society. Numerous technologies have been evolved starting from stone carvings to handwritten/printed scripts and to the state-of-the-art electronic as well as optical storage devi...

The scaling of transistors helps to reduce the voltage and power required for reliable operation with improved functionality and performance of embedded memories. Moreover, in embedded memories, static random access memory (SRAM) is considered as a critical technology enabler for...

Gears and bearings are the most important components which are widely used in various applications such as automobiles, industrial machines, power plants, etc. The failure of these components is one of the most frequent causes of the machine breakdown. Hence, health monitoring or f...

Our life revolves around systems that are awfully complicated. Consider for example the society that we live in, is an agglomerate of billions of individuals associated with each other in diverse intricate relationships. The biological existence of each individual is further...

India is listed as a country with one of the largest populations of indigenous peoples in the world. The largest concentration of indigenous peoples are found in the eight states of North-East India and the ‘central tribal belt’ stretching from Rajasthan to West Bengal. North-...

Within the broad area of nanoscience, catalysis plays an important role in academic scientific research as well as industrial production. Traditional homogeneous catalytic systems are highly efficient because the catalytic activity can be defined on a molecular level and the cat...

Franco Moretti in his book Atlas of the European Novel (1998), explains rather succinctly how literary geography could refer to either space in literature which is fictional in nature, or literature in space which is a historical space and alludes to a provincial library to&#x...

Clustering is one of the most widely used methods for exploratory data analysis. The need of clustering arises in many real-life problems, such as gene analysis, image processing, text organization, community detection, disease diagnosis, and protein categorization. Fuzzy clustering ...

Data is a key factor in delivering service across the networks. It is an important aspect in handling service interaction which governed by instructions to facilitate legacy application like wireless sensor network. Such data is generally produced in passes and it is used as i...
