Privacy in Information Retrieval, Delivery and Distributed Computing
The aim of our work is to address the challenges of privacy in information retrieval, information delivery, and in distributed computing systems. We focus on reducing the download and upload costs and decreasing the ... -
Privadome: A System for Citizen Privacy in the Delivery Drone Era
E-commerce companies are actively considering the use of delivery drones for customer fulfillment, leading to growing concerns around citizen privacy. Drones are equipped with cameras, and the video feed from these cameras ... -
Probabilisltic Analysis of Engineering Response of Fiber Reinforced Soils
(2018-04-03)The concept of reinforcement was developed in late 20th century and since then till the recent past there are many works carried out on the effect of fibers in imparting strength and stiffness to the soil. Experimental ... -
Probabilistic Analysis of Radionuclide Transport for Radioactive Waste Disposal Systems in Soil and Fractured Rocks
The safe management of radioactive waste disposal facilities is increasingly becoming a necessary condition for the future development of nuclear industry. To ensure long-term safety of these disposal facilities, performance ... -
Probabilistic design and optimization of foundations on cohesionless soil using surrogate models
The design of foundations depends on the properties of soil, which are affected by various forms of uncertainties. These uncertainties affect the foundation performance and hence are considered in the deterministic design ... -
Probabilistic Forwarding of Coded Packets for Broadcasting over Networks
Motivated by applications in sensor networks and the Internet of Things (IoT), in this dissertation, we consider the problem of energy-efficient broadcasting from a source node in a large dense network. Flooding, as a ... -
Probabilistic source-filter model of speech
The human respiratory system plays a crucial role in breathing and swallow ing. However, it also plays an essential role in speech production, which is unique to humans. Speech production involves expelling air from the ... -
Probing Anisotropic Interactions In Solid State NMR : Techniques And Applications
(2011-06-30)The thesis aims at methodological developments in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and study of oriented samples like liquid crystals and single crystals and powder samples. Though methodological development in solid state ... -
Probing charge-density waves and superconductivity in low-dimensional systems
The recent advent of two-dimensional materials has led to the discovery of materials with fascinating phase diagrams. These systems have exciting electronic phases which coexist or compete with each other. Here in this ... -
Probing effect of disorder in the electrical and optical properties on van der Waals heterostructure
In this thesis, we studied the transport properties of single-layer graphene and single-layer to few-layer MoS2. We also studied the optical properties of MoS2 based single-layer, twisted bilayer devices. The main observations ... -
Probing Higgs Boson Interactions At Future Colliders
(2010-11-11)We present in this thesis a detailed analysis of Higgs boson interactions at future colliders. In particular we examine, in a model independent way, the sensitivity of an Linear Collider in probing the interaction of ... -
Probing Ligand Induced Perturbations In Protien Structure Networks : Physico-Chemical Insights From MD Simulations And Graph Theory
(2014-07-16)The fidelity of biological processes and reactions, inspite of the widespread diversity, is programmed by highly specific physico-chemical principles. This underlines our basic understanding of different interesting phenomena ... -
Probing Macromolecular Reactions At Reduced Dimensionality : Mapping Of Sequence Specific And Non-Specific Protein-Ligand lnteractions
(2015-09-03)During the past decade the effects of macromolecular crowding on reaction pathways is gaining in prominence. The stress is to move out of the realms of ideal solution studies and make conceptual modifications that consider ... -
