Interfacial Processes in Densification of Cubic Zirconia
(2018-02-21)Sintering, a process of forming dense solid bodies from powder compacts remains the most important route for processing of ceramics. The process of sintering involves formation and growth of necks during initial stage, ... -
Interfacing Biomolecules with Nanomaterials for Novel Applications
(2018-03-02)This thesis deals with the research work carried out for the development of novel applications by integrating biomolecules with various nanostructures. The thesis is organized as follows: Chapter 1 reviews the properties ... -
Interference Cancelling Detectors In OFDMA/MIMO/Cooperative Communications
(2009-09-02)In this thesis, we focus on interference cancelling (IC) detectors for advanced communication systems. The contents of this thesis is divided into the following four parts: 1. Multiuser interference (MUI) cancellation in ... -
Interference Effect of Closely Spaced Square Footings on Geocell Reinforced Sand and Clay Beds: Experimental and Numerical Studies
With rapid growth of construction rate and lack of suitable land sites for construction, placing building foundations close to each other and on soft-grounds is inevitable. When the foundations are placed close enough on ... -
Interference Effects On The Collapse Loads For Footings And Anchors Using An Upper Bound Finite Element Limit Analysis
(2011-02-17)The present thesis is an attempt to investigate the interference effects on the magnitudes of the ultimate failure loads for a group of closely spaced strip footings and strip plate anchors. On account of an increase in ... -
Interference Management For Vector Gaussian Multiple Access Channels
(2010-06-03)In this thesis, we consider a vector Gaussian multiple access channel (MAC) with users demanding reliable communication at specific (Shannon-theoretic) rates. The objective is to assign vectors and powers to these users ... -
Interference Modeling in Wireless Networks
(2017-10-26)Cognitive radio (CR) networks and heterogeneous cellular networks are promising approaches to satisfy the demand for higher data rates and better connectivity. A CR network increases the utilization of the radio spectrum ... -
Intermolecular Interactions In Molecular Crystals : Quantitative Estimates From Experimental And Theoretical Charge Densities
(2011-10-03)The thesis entitled “Intermolecular Interactions in Molecular Crystals: Quantitative Estimates from Experimental and Theoretical Charge Densities” consists of four chapters and an Appendix. Chapter 1 highlights the principles ... -
Internal Boiling to Flame Flickering: Insights into Various Spatio-temporal Dynamics of Nanofuel Droplet Combustion
Addition of metal and metalloid particles (micron and sub-micron) to conventional fuels like Jet-A has been a ‘liquid-fuel extender’ technique i.e. increased specific energy for less amount of liquid fuels. One of the main ... -
Internal Structure and Self-Assembly of Low Dimensional Materials
(2018-05-01)The properties of bulk 3D materials of metals or semiconductors are manifested with various length scales(e.g., Bohr excitonic radius, magnetic correlation length, mean free path etc.) and are important in controlling their ... -
Internationalization of SMEs : Analysis of Antecedents, Strategies, and International Performance in the Indian Context
(2018-05-29)Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) occupy a place of strategic importance in most of the developed and emerging economies. This is primarily because they contribute significantly to employment, GDP, exports and wealth ... -
Intersection Graphs Of Boxes And Cubes
(2011-01-25)A graph Gis said to be an intersection graph of sets from a family of sets if there exists a function ƒ : V(G)→ such that for u,v V(G), (u,v) E(G) ƒ (u) ƒ (v) ≠ . Interval graphs are thus the intersection graphs ... -
Intracellular Calcium Dynamics In Dendrites Of Hippocampal Neurons Rendered Epileptic And In Processes Of Astrocytes Following Glutamate Pretreatment
(2009-04-03)The fundamental attribute of neurons is their cellular electrical excitability, which is based on the expression of a plethora of ligand- and voltage-gated membrane channels that give rise to prominent membrane currents ... -
Intraseasonal Variability in Aquaplanet Configuration of Community Atmosphere Model
The Intraseasonal Oscillation (ISO) plays an important role to modulate deep convective activity in the tropical region. In this thesis, I aim to understand the role of land and warm oceans in ISO, using a general ... -
Intraseasonal Variability Of The Equatorial Indian Ocean Circulation
(Indian Institute Of Science, 2004-10)Climatological winds over the equatorial Indian Ocean (EqlO) are westerly most of the year. Twice a year, in April-May ("spring") and October-December ("fall"), strong, sustained westerly winds generate eastward equatorial ... -
Intraseasonal Variations In Sea Level Pressure And Association With Tropical Convection
(2010-07-19)This thesis deals with tropical intraseasonal variation (TISV) having time scales in 20-80 day range. Variations on this time scale have been observed to have profound influence on the weather and climate of the entire ... -
Intrasexual competition in females of a socially polygynous lizard, Psammophilus dorsalis
Competition between individuals of the same sex, intrasexual competition, has received much attention in males, mainly because such competition, which is primarily for mates (i.e. sexual selection), often selects for ... -
Intrinsic Noise in Collective Dynamics
Animal groups exhibit many emergent properties that are a consequence of local interactions. Linking individual-level behaviour to group-level dynamics has been a question of fundamental interest from both biological and ...
