Surface modification of biodegradable and biocompatible polymer scaffolds with multifunctional self-assembled monolayers for the controlled and specific adhesion of the biomolecules
No full textDynamic surfaces can be customized to form a multifunctional assembly that favors the adsorption of the proteins and the sugar molecules in a one pot reaction and provides a control over the orientation and conformation of the bioactive ligands on the synthetic surface. Self-assembled monolayers SAMs), bearing bifunctional groups grant a straightforward, flexible and simplistic method to overcome the limitations posed by a biopolymer-peptide system. These bifunctional moieties on one terminus can be adhered to the synthetic biopolymer that acts as a scaffold for the assembly and on the other terminus can be tailored to attach to highly specific biomolecules such as peptides and carbohydrates . In a novel synthesis, the SAMs can be attached to the different biomolecules by multicomponent reactions (MCR). MCRs are the chemical reactions in which three or more reactants form a product. Although, these reactions have been known for a long time, but have yet to be used in the synthesis of the biological components that mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM).M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Prachi S.

Effect of the optimisation time interval on the performance of mobile networks
No full textThis thesis project researches the effect of the optimisation time interval on the performance of a self-optimised mobile network. The goal of the thesis is to ascertain if there exists an optimal time interval for the self-optimisation of the KPN network, and what that interval is. In order to research this question, the project uses data from the KPN network as input, and sets up a simulation study in MATLAB. Two areas in the Netherlands are considered in this study – Friesland and Purmerend. The self-optimisation of the network is carried out through the modification of three optimisation parameters – antenna tilt, RS power, and Cell Individual Offset. The scope of the study is limited to LTE in the downlink, for the 800 MHz band. The bandwidth used in this study is 10 MHz. The performance of the mobile network has been studied using KPIs such as 10th throughput percentile, coverage failure rate, call drop rate, and load. In the end, the study analyses the results for each area, for the self-optimisation carried out by modifying the three parameters over several different optimisation time intervals, and discusses their impact on the performance of the network. A comparison has also been drawn between the performance of a self-optimised network and an un-optimised network, to highlight the gains achieved with SON. Finally, recommendations are made regarding a suitable time interval, and a relative comparison between suitability of the three optimisation parameters has been drawn. The study finds that a suitable time interval for optimisation does exist, and is 240 minutes, for both the simulation areas. The study finds RS power to be the most suitable parameter for self-optimisation, in both the areas. However, the research runs into some unexpected results with respect to the optimisations using tilt angle, and has been discussed in detail in the report. Significant gains are observed with SON, as compared to the case of ‘No SON’ or an un-optimised network. Electrical Engineering | Network Architectures and Service
