Direct Time Domain Modelling Of First Return Stroke Of Lightning
(2009-05-21)Being one of the most spectacular events in nature, lightning is basically a transient high current electric discharge in the atmosphere, which extends up to kilometres. Cloud to ground discharge is the most hazardous one ... -
Directing cellular differentiation using biophysical cues on multifunctional biomaterial platforms for neural and osteochondral applications
World health organization (WHO) has recognized multiple degenerative diseases as the leading causes of mortality, globally. The drugs-based clinical treatment of chronic degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis, ... -
Discharge Plasma based NOx Abatement in Engine Exhaust Assisted by Industry Wastes : A Parametric Evaluation with Diesel Fuels and Corona Electrodes
Diesel engines contribute to a large percentage of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emission in the atmosphere. The NOx primarily consists of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). With depleting fossil fuel supplies ... -
Discharge Plasma Supported Mariculture and Lignite Waste for NOx Cleaning in Biodiesel Exhaust : Direct and Indirect Methods
(2018-06-18)One major aspect of environmental pollution affecting human life and climate is air pollution. The harmful pollutants in the air include mostly hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides as well as soot ... -
Discovering Frequent Episodes : Fast Algorithms, Connections With HMMs And Generalizations
(2008-10-13)Temporal data mining is concerned with the exploration of large sequential (or temporally ordered) data sets to discover some nontrivial information that was previously unknown to the data owner. Sequential data sets come ... -
Discovering Frequent Episodes With General Partial Orders
(2013-06-04)Pattern Discovery, a popular paradigm in data mining refers to a class of techniques that try and extract some unknown or interesting patterns from data. The work carried out in this thesis concerns frequent episode mining, ... -
Discovering Roles In The Evolution Of Collaboration Networks
(2009-04-02)Searching the Web involves more than sifting through a huge graph of pages and hyperlinks. Specific collaboration networks have emerged that serve domain-specific queries better by exploiting the principles and patterns ... -
Discovery Of Application Workloads From Network File Traces
(2011-05-19)An understanding of Input/Output data access patterns of applications is useful in several situations. First, gaining an insight into what applications are doing with their data at a semantic level helps in designing ... -
Discrete particulate description of elastic structures undergoing geometrically nonlinear deformation and dynamic particle interaction
The mechanical behaviour of deformable bodies in a particulate environment has been an area of increasing interest across a wide spectrum of systems and scale. A composite ensemble of deformable structures and discrete ... -
Discrete Velocity Boltzmann Schemes for Inviscid Compressible Flows
It is known that high-speed flows are compressible. In large parts of the flow domains, the inviscid approximation is valid and this leads to Euler equations of gas dynamics. These inviscid compressible flows are modelled ... -
Discrete Velocity Boltzmann Schemes with Efficient Multidimensional Models
Traditional CFD algorithms have achieved a high degree of sophistication for modelling fluid flows in the past five decades. This sophistication can be seen clearly in one dimensional modelling, with a wide variety of ... -
Discriminative Descriptors for Unconstrained Face and Object Recognition
Face and object recognition is a challenging problem in the field of computer vision. It deals with identifying faces or objects form an image or video. Due to its numerous applications in biometrics, security, multimedia ... -
Disorder, Polymorphism And Co-Crystal Formation In Molecular Crystals : An In-Depth Study In Terms Of Weak Intra- And Intermolecular Interactions
(2011-09-21)Three distinct aspects, disorder, polymorphism and co-crystal formation have been addressed in molecular crystals in terms of intra- and intermolecular interactions involving halogens, weak hydrogen bonds and van der Waals ... -
Dispersal Patterns and Processes in Littorinid Snails along the Indian Coastline
Dispersal has important ecological and evolutionary consequences for a species. Marine dispersal is unique because of facilitation by ocean currents, where oceanography interacts with species traits and environmental ... -
Disruptive Approaches to Address Performance & Reliability Challenges in 2-Dimentional (2D) Material Based Transistors & Memories
In 2020, Apple introduced its most advanced laptop that has the A14 Bionic processor. The very first processor, Intel’s 4004, was launched in 1971 and had a transistor (the basic building block of a processor) density of ... -
Dissecting the C-DI-GMP Signaling Pathways : Tools and Tales
(2018-02-27)Evaluating aerodynamic noise from aircraft engines is a design stage process, so that it conform to regulations at airports. Aerodynamic noise is also a principal source of structural vibration and internal noise in ... -
Dissecting the function of NuMA in cleavage furrow formation and chromatin decondensation at the mitotic exit in animal cells
In animal cells, the duplicated genetic material is aligned on a microtubule-based structure known as the mitotic spindle during mitosis. At the mitotic exit, the mitotic spindle elongates, and the sister chromatids get ... -
Dissecting the role of Ataxin 2 Binding Protein 1 in sarcomeric protein stoichiometry and generation of muscle diversity in Drosophila melanogaster
Drosophila muscles are an excellent model to study muscle development, diversity and function. Drosophila muscles consist of two major types –1. Indirect Flight Muscles (IFM), that are fibrillar; as opposed to other tubular ... -
Dissecting the Role of Calcium Binding Proteins in Muscle using Drosophila Indirect Flight Muscles as the Model System
Muscle development and function are highly synchronized processes that involve simultaneous action of several transcription factors, signalling cascades, kinases and phosphatases, ion channels, structural proteins and ... -
