Index Coding over Noisy Channels and Some Applications
A broadcast channel that is very effective for disseminating common content becomes highly inefficient when the users request different content. To address this inefficiency of the broadcast channel over which a server ... -
Index Coding, Error Correcting Index Codes And Matroids
In the problem of index coding, there is a central source sending messages to a set of receivers which demand messages over a noiseless broadcast channel. Each receiver knows a subset of messages which is referred to as ... -
Inducing Constraints in Paraphrase Generation and Consistency in Paraphrase Detection
Deep learning models typically require a large volume of data. Manual curation of datasets is time-consuming and limited by imagination. As a result, natural language generation (NLG) has been employed to automate the ... -
Induction Generators Behavior Under Unbalanced Voltage And Fault Conditions
(2011-09-15)In this thesis first the behavior of induction generators under unbalanced voltage conditions is studied. In this context, first the existing schemes for characterizing the unbalance in simple ways have been studied. The ... -
Induction Motor Drives Based on Multilevel Dodecagonal and Octadecagonal Volatage Space Vectors
(2018-03-21)For medium and high-voltage drive applications, multilevel inverters are very popular. It is due to their superior performance compared to 2-level inverters such as reduced harmonic content in the output voltage and current, ... -

India is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the world. Its growth is supported by the vibrant manufacturing sector which has strong linkages with other sectors. The manufacturing sector plays a pivotal ... -
Industry 4.0 Maturity and Readiness Assessment: A case of a Manufacturing Organization
The manufacturing sector is the economic backbone of a country and has traditionally played a key role in the growth of almost every country in the world. In India, the manufacturing sector contributes 17 percent to the ... -
Infection of Human Cell Lines by Japanese Encephalitis Virus : Increased Expression and Release of HLA-E, a Non-classical HLA Molecule
(2018-04-24)Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) causes viral encephalitis in new born and young adults that is prevalent in different parts of India and other parts of South East Asia with an estimated 6000 deaths per year. JEV is a ... -
Inferences on Structure and Function of Proteins from Sequence Data : Development of Methods and Applications
(2018-07-23)Structural and functional annotation of sequences of putative proteins encoded in the newly sequenced genomes pose an important challenge. While much progress has been made towards high throughput experimental techniques ... -
Infinitely Divisible Metrics, Curvature Inequalities And Curvature Formulae
(2014-06-30)The curvature of a contraction T in the Cowen-Douglas class is bounded above by the curvature of the backward shift operator. However, in general, an operator satisfying the curvature inequality need not be contractive. ... -
