Robustness and tunability in biological networks/ by Shankar Mukherji.
Cells face a core tension between studiously preventing change in certain properties from extrinsic perturbations while allowing other properties to be tuned. One way cells have resolved this tension is to utilize systems that are both robust and tunable. Systems can achieve this through network …

Graded Lie Algebras, Compactified Jacobians and Arithmetic Statistics
… and generalises results of Bhargava, Gross, Ho, Shankar, Shankar and Wang. The main innovations are an analysis of torsors on affine spaces using results of Colliot--Thelene and the Grothendieck--Serre conjecture, a study of geometric properties of compactified Jacobians using the …

Arithmetic statistics and Vinberg representations
… conjecture. We build on a result of Bhargava--Shankar--Wang, which is concerned with the density of squarefree values of polynomial discriminants. Using Vinberg theory, we prove a more general result on the discriminant polynomials arising from the invariant theory of Lie algebras. The proof of …

Cannabinoid regulation of excitatory synaptic transmission at hippocampal synapses
… hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD; Shankar et al., 2008), on synaptic plasticity at TA-CA1 synapses.<br/><br/>Taken together, our overall findings clearly demonstrate that the endocannabinoid system has divergent effects on excitatory synaptic transmission at hippocampal synapses. …

Arabic: The language of Muslimness in Cape Town
… by theories of language materiality (Cavanaugh & Shankar, 2017: 2) and the aesthetics of language (Jakobson, 1960: 356). These frameworks foreground three key concepts – ideologies, indexicality, and iconicity – which shaped the interpretation of the data. This dissertation argues that Muslim …

Timecourse of a perceptual judgment and factors affecting it
Perceptual decisions are extremely fast and take on the order of milliseconds. The time taken to view the stimuli during these choices, termed processing time (PT), is an important quantity because it defines how informed, and thereby accurate, the choice is. Typically, the PT has been estimated …

Geometric and Topological Aspects of Soft & Active Matter
<p>Topological and geometric ideas are now a mainstay of condensed matter physics, underlying much of our understanding of conventional materials in terms of defects and geometric frustration in ordered media, and protected edge states in topological insulators. In this thesis, I will argue that …

POWER SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OF SURFACE MYOELECTRIC SIGNALS DURING DYNAMIC CONTRACTIONS
The stochastic nature of surface myoelectric signals (MES) requires the use of power spectral analysis for effective characterisation. Spectral changes during different types of muscular activity are monitored using spectral parameters like mean power frequency, ratios of powers in several …

Repurposing non-antimicrobial drugs to treat multi-drug resistant bacterial and fungal infections
<p>Bacterial and fungal resistance to conventional antimicrobials is a burgeoning global health epidemic that necessitates urgent action. Even more alarming, the development of new antimicrobials to treat these multidrug-resistant pathogens has not kept pace with the rapid emergence of resistance …

Thromboelastography in the assessment of coagulation changes in peripheral vascular disease
Studies up to date in the western literature involving changes in coagulation in patients with peripheral vascular disease(PVD) have consistently reported activation of coagulation based on measurement of raised levels of markers of activation of coagulation(clot formation), decreased fibrinolysis …

Effect of Alkali on the Efficiency and Reliability of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Solar Cells
<p>The incorporation of alkali metal has contributed tremendously in a bid to realize greater than 20% efficient Cu(In,Ga)Se<sub>2</sub>(CIGS) solar cells. Achieving high efficiency is one key parameter for the success of a photovoltaic technology but so is its long-term stability. In this thesis, …

The mediating role of sensitivity to criticism on the relationship between vulnerable narcissism and negative affect
<p>Researchers have examined the interpersonal correlates of narcissistic traits through ego-threats precipitated by experiences of external rejection or criticism. However, few studies have empirically investigated the role of sensitivity to criticism in the relation between vulnerable narcissism …

Part I. Solvolysis of Caryophyllen-8-Yl Derivatives: Model Reactions for Presilphiperfolanol Biogenesis. Part II. Stereochemistry of Lithium-Amine Reductions of Tetrasubstituted Epoxides and Phenylthiohydrins to Tertiary Alcohols
A comparative study of the Li-amine reductions of model bicyclic tetrasubstituted epoxides and the corresponding trans-phenylthiohydrins was carried out to determine the stereochemistry and optimal reaction conditions for this transformation. Octalin, hydrindene, and bicyclo (3.3.0) octene epoxides …
