Varma’s films are critically analyzed through the tenets of authorship and control over a film, auteur sign or brand, consistent visual style in film production that comprise the main discussion among auteur critics. This article also attempts to analyze Varma’s work as a director, from Shiva to Sarkar, that have significantly pushed the borders of the Bollywood formula. Varma’s films are not studied with any prior assumption to prove him an auteur but to analyze his works within the French and American auteur theoretical framework. While probing into the arguments of the auteur theorists for its basic tenets, various features of auteur theory are clearly seen in his films in terms of personal vision, style, expression and treatment, narration and technique (especially photography, screenplay and characterization), the interconnecting plots and the way the various issues are dealt with.

Research paper thumbnail of Kinetic Model To Describe the Intrinsic Uncoupling Activity of Substituted Phenols in Energy Transducing Membranes

Environmental Science & Technology, 1999

The overall uncoupling activity is quantitatively separated into the contribution of membrane concentration and speciation and intrinsic activity. This approach is a further step toward the development of improved Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) and of toxicokinetic models used in risk assessment. The protonophoric uncoupling activity of seven nitro-and chlorophenols has been investigated as a function of pH and concentration using time-resolved spectroscopy on photosynthetic membranes. The experimental data are described by a kinetic model that includes a monomeric and a dimeric protonophoric shuttle mechanisms. Input parameters of the model are the experimental data for relaxation of the membrane potential, the biomembranewater distribution constants of the phenol and phenoxide species, and the acidity constant of the phenol. Adjustable parameters are the translocation rate constants of all phenolic species and the heterodimer formation constant. These parameters constitute the intrinsic uncoupling activity. Hydrophobicity and acidity govern the partitioning of phenols into the membrane but appear not to be the sole determining factors for the intrinsic uncoupling activity of phenolic compounds. Additional factors include steric effects and charge distribution within the molecule.
