Planar Fault Energies in L12 Compounds
High temperature metallic structural materials, such as Ni-base superalloys owe their strength to a two-phase microstructure consisting of an fcc matrix strengthened by intermetallic A3B type precipitates. The performance ... -
Planar Hall Effect : Detection of Ultra Low Magnetic Fields and a Study of Stochasticity in Magnetization Reversal
(2018-08-09)In the present thesis, we have explored multiple aspects concerning the stochasticity of magnetic domain wall motion during magnetization reversal, all of which originated from our initial study of magnetic field sensing ... -
Planning And Operational Aspects Of Real And Reactive Power In Deregulated Power Systems
(2013-10-09)The transition of the power sector from vertically integrated utility (VIU) to deregulated system has resulted in reshaping of generation, transmission and distribution components. Some of the objectives of restructuring ... -
Plasma catalysis of diesel exhaust using industrial wastes: a study on NOX and THC removal
Air pollution, caused by large scale consumption of fossil fuels such as diesel, has been the leading cause of several adverse environmental effects such as global warming, higher acidity in rainwater, lower yield ... -
Plasmon Phonon Coupled Dynamics of Nanocrystalline Structures
This thesis is an attempt to understand the characteristics and responses of plasmon phonon coupled dynamics in nanocrystalline structures. An energy based Lagrangian formulation is developed with fundamental field quantities ... -
Plastic Deformation During Indentation Of Crystalline And Amorphous Materials
(2013-06-10)Indentation hardness, H, has been widely used to characterize the mechanical properties of materials for more than a century because of the following advantages of this technique; (1) it requires small sample and (2) the ... -
Plasticity of Intrinsic Excitability in Fast Spiking Interneurons of the Dentate Gyrus & Its Implications for Neuronal Network Dynamics
Inhibitory GABAergic neurons, although forming a minor proportion of the neuronal population in the central nervous system, have been reported to be crucial for different physiological states of the brain. Among the vast ... -
A Platform for Handheld Ultrafast PCR
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is one of the most sensitive and specific diagnostic tools available today. Yet, it stands out of reach for many vulnerable populations because commercial solutions are expensive, bulky, ... -
Platform Technologies for In vitro Point-of- Care Diagnostics
In vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests are critical for making informed clinical decisions. These tests are performed outside the body using specimens such as blood, sputum, saliva, and urine. IVD tests are usually performed ... -
Platinum overlayers characterization and fabrication via self-terminating electrodeposition
Hydrogen is considered a promising alternative fuel for the future. However, despite its perception as a “zero-carbon” energy carrier, fossil fuels remain the primary feedstocks for hydrogen production, involving significant ... -
Platinum(II) Complexes as Dual Action DNA Crosslinking & Photochemotherapeutic Agents
(2017-12-07)The thesis work delineates the rational design and successful syntheses of platinum (II) complexes for achieving light promoted dual action anticancer properties. The research work focuses on the syntheses, elaborate ... -
Platinum(II)-BODIPY Conjugates for Organelle Targeted Photodynamic Therapy in Red Light
The serendipitous discovery of Cisplatin (CP, Peyrone's chloride) as an anticancer agent in 1965 by Barnett Rosenberg led to the evolution of other platinum-based anticancer drugs, namely, Carboplatin in 1989 and Oxaliplatin ... -
Point-of-Care High-throughput Optofluidic Microscope for Quantitative Imaging Cytometry
(2018-03-15)Biological research and Clinical Diagnostics heavily rely on Optical Microscopy for analyzing properties of cells. The experimental protocol for con-ducting a microscopy based diagnostic test consists of several manual ... -
Point-of-need analyte detection using dsDNA-templated fluorescent copper nanoparticles
The detection of various types of pollutants, toxins, and adulterants that are detrimental to the environment and human health is essential for monitoring air, water, soil, and food quality. Technologies that enable the ... -
Polarized Line Formation In Turbulent And Scattering Media
(2010-10-13)This thesis is devoted to improve our knowledge on the theory of polarized line formation in a magneto-turbulent medium, and in a scattering dominated magnetized medium, where partial redistribution (PRD) effects become ... -
Poly-Vinylidene Fluoride Based Vibration Spectrum Sensors and Energy Harvestors
(2017-12-07)Mechanical vibrations in large structures such as buildings, bridges, dams and critical frequencies in large machinery generally have low frequencies (100Hz-1000Hz). To monitor large areas of such structures we need huge ... -
Polymage : Automatic Optimization for Image Processing Pipelines
(2018-06-25)Image processing pipelines are ubiquitous. Every image captured by a camera and every image uploaded on social networks like Google+or Facebook is processed by a pipeline. Applications in a wide range of domains like ...
