Atomization characteristics of alternative aviation biofuels, Jet A-1, and water from a hybrid airblast atomizer
Studies on the atomization of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) from aircraft engine atomizers are essential to replace the present fossil type jet fuel to counter the rise in aviation-caused CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. ... -
Atomization Characteristics of Camelina and Jatropha-Derived Drop-in Aviation Biofuels
(2017-11-22)Biofuels in civil aviation is actively studied in recent years to identify potential alternative jet fuels to meet stringent environmental regulations imposed to tackle degraded air quality caused by fossil fuel combustion. ... -
Attention-Feedback and Representations in OCR
A Kannada OCR, named Lipi Gnani, has been designed and developed from scratch, with the motivation of it being able to convert printed text or poetry in Kannada script, without any restriction on vocabulary. The training ... -
Attenuation Characteristics and Seismicity Analysis of Himalayan Region with Linear Joint Time-frequency Analysis Techniques
About 59% of the land area of the Indian subcontinent has high chances of moderate to severe earthquakes, of which the Himalayas are the most seismically active. Regardless of the high seismic activity, the seismic network ... -
Atto-second Dynamics in Molecular Systems
The thesis describes the attosecond dynamics of small molecular systems, focusing on ionization delay times and hole migration delay times. These time delays are some of the fastest events in electronic dynamics. When an ... -
Attributes Of Royalty In The Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia marginata : Pheromone, Ovaries And Behavior
(2012-12-07)This thesis has looked at the proximate mechanisms by which eusociality is maintained in colonies of the primitively eusocial wasp Ropalidia marginata. Unlike other typical primitively eusocial species, the R, marginata ... -
Auditory Timbre and Spatialisation: Signal Analysis and Perception of Source Widening
In this work, auditory perception of source widening is examined in the context of different source signal timbre. Perception of widening of source or auditory source width (ASW) arises in three cases: (i) In the presence ... -
Augmenting Hyperspectral Image Unmixing Models Using Spatial Correlation, Spectral Variability, And Sparsity
Hyperspectral imaging sensors sample sunlight reflected from different targets on Earth's surface by utilising a series of contiguous narrow spectral channels. The higher spectral resolution of hyperspectral images (HSIs) ... -
Autoflocculating Mixotrophic Algal Consortia Approach to Sustainable Wastewater Treatement
(2017-10-26)The phenomenon of rapid algal blooms in response to nutrient overloads has been adapted to treat synthetic domestic wastewater. Various algal consortia collected from several eutrophied water bodies were subject to high ... -
