Property Testing of Linear Threshold Functions

Inferring underlying properties of a dataset is a fundamental task in the fields of learning, statistics, and data analysis. In recent years, the amount of data which we have access to and would like to analyze continues to grow at an astronomical rate. Algorithms that were previously considered efficient for learning properties of the data […]

Design and optimization of new peroxidase ribozymes based on RNA Mango constructs

DNA and RNA oligonucleotides that fold to form four-stranded structures (G-quadruplexes) are known to bind heme and such complexes to catalyze 1-electron (peroxidase-like) and 2-electron (peroxygenase-like) oxidation reactions. While successful in competing with protein peroxidase enzymes in this respect, G-quadruplex•heme complexes are currently not competitive with protein enzymes with regard to the enantioselectivity of the […]

A Study of Motor Learning in Children and Adults who Stutter

Stuttering is a speech disorder that not only affects a person’s ability to communicate fluently and confidently, but can also have a significant impact on their quality of life and mental health. Developmental stuttering typically emerges in early childhood; however, 20% of individuals will continue to be affected by this disorder into adulthood. After decades […]

Viability of Superconducting Resonator Based Detectors

There is an abundance of evidence from astronomical and cosmological observations that suggests approximately 85% of the matter in the universe is dark matter, an unknown form of matter beyond the description of the standard model of particle physics. To date the effects of dark matter have only been observed through its interactions via gravity; […]

Social networks like maps with real-time traffic are good examples of streaming graphs. These streaming graphs are processed and analyzed to answer the queries in real time. Conventional iterative graph processing algorithms estimate the results by approximating the intermediate values. Upon receiving a query, the computation is performed on these intermediate values. This setting gives […]

Next-Generation Thermal Energy Storage Systems for Smart Thermal Grids

Proposed Work- Design Assessment of Latent Heat Storage Systems (LHSS) Integrated with Smart Thermal Grids Latent heat storage is a coherent technique having a potential of integration with real-time applications. The energy is stored in the form of latent heat during melting of phase change material’s (PCM’s). This energy can be utilized during the peak […]

Multifunctional piezoelectric sensors using two-dimensional layered materials

The project envisages the development of multifunctional piezoelectric sensors using two-dimensional (2-D) layered materials. Piezoelectricity is defined as the electrical response of the materials with respect to the mechanical actuation. This property persists in the materials that have non-centrosymmetry in their internal structure.In particular, the 2-D materials with the non-centrosymmetric structure a great potential lies […]

The synthesis and characterization of new boron subphthalocyanine derivatives for organic solar cells

Small molecules with conducting electronic properties resembling those of metals have been used in next generation electronic devices such as organic solar cells. These organic or carbon-based molecules are paving a new road towards environmentally-friendly, flexible and cheaper solar cells. Boron subphthalocyanines (BsubPcs) are an example of small organic molecules that have been used to […]

Biogas production from bioplastic

Plastic litter currently accumulates in oceans, causing a ‘plastic soup’. Therefore, the past years many biodegradable plastics were developed and marketed. Most biodegradable plastics after their use end up in organic recycling, where materials are turned into compost and renewable energy (biogas and heat). However, many biodegradable plastics that are claimed to be ‘biodegradable’ are […]
