Deeply Scaled InAlN/GaN-on-Silicon High Electron Mobility Transistors for RF Applications
Wide bandgap gallium nitride (GaN) based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are promising candidates for next-generation radio frequency (RF) power amplifier applications owing to high electron saturation velocity ... -
Defect Engineering and Doping of 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenides: A First-Principles Study
The foundation of the electronic industry is based on n-type and p-type semiconductor materials, which is obtained by the ubiquitously present point defects. The presence of defects affects the electronic and optoelectronic ... -
Defluoridation Of Drinking Water Using A Combined Alum-Activated Alumina Process And Nanoscale Adsorbents
(2010-10-08)Excess Fluoride in drinking water is a cause for concern in several countries in the world. Various techniques have been developed to mitigate the harmful effects of fluoride. In the present work, a combined alum and ... -
Defluoridation Of Drinking Water Using Activated Alumina
(2013-05-20)Excess fluoride (F-) in drinking water poses a health threat to millions of people around the world. In the present work, activated alumina (AA) has been used as an adsorbent. Data obtained from batch experiments were ... -
Deformation characteristics of soil under sequential dynamic torsional and cyclic axial loading
Earthquake-induced structural damages caused due to site effects, soil liquefaction failure, and associated excessive settlement are well-known worldwide. The primary controlling factor responsible for the superstructure’s ... -
Degradation Of Water Soluble Polymers

Degradation Studies on Polymeric Insulators used for EHV and UHV Transmission
High voltage insulators used in overhead power transmission systems are of key im- portance for safe, reliable, and effcient operation of transmission line in transferring huge amount of electrical power. Conventionally, ... -
Deiodination of Thyroid Hormones by Iodothyronine Deiodinase Mimics
(2018-03-26)Thyroxine is the main secretory hormone of thyroid gland and it is produced in thyroglobulin by thyroid peroxidase/hydrogen peroxide/iodide system. After biosynthesis and secretion of thyroxine, it undergoes multiple ... -
Delamination Modeling and Detection in Composite Structures
(2017-12-12)Composite laminated structures are prone to delamination. Rotorcraft flexbeams, apart from many other aerospace primary load carrying members are made up of composite laminated structures. A delaminated primary load carrying ... -
Delaunay Graphs for Various Geometric Objects
(2017-12-12)Given a set of n points P ⊂ R2, the Delaunay graph of P for a family of geometric objects C is a graph defined as follows: the vertex set is P and two points p, p' ∈ P are connected by an edge if and only if there exists ... -
Delay Differentiation By Balancing Weighted Queue Lengths
(2017-05-04)Scheduling policies adopted for statistical multiplexing should provide delay differentiation between different traffic classes, where each class represents an aggregate traffic of individual applications having same ... -
Delay Minimization of an M/M/1 Point-to-Point Link Model Subject to Throughput and Power Constraints
(2018-02-15)In this thesis, we address the problem of minimizing the average delay of data pack-ets served by a transmitter on a static, point-to-point link. The transmitter dynamically chooses state-dependent admission and transmission ... -
Deliberations on Borrower Behaviour in the Context of Micro-finance
Micro-finance, a popular tool for poverty alleviation, has witnessed a cycle of reaching out to the credit strapped, recording high recovery rates, scaling up exponentially and facing mass defaults, world-over. The two ... -
Delineating the dynamics of neutrophil response in multiple inflammatory stimuli and its consequences
In this thesis, we investigate the regulation of neutrophils, an important component of the immune system, and its implications on inflammation and pathological conditions. We use biomaterial implants to induce chronic ... -
Delineating the Role of OsMADS1 in Auxin Distribution, Floret Identity and Floret Meristem Determinacy
(2017-12-02)Rice have highly derived florets borne on a short branch called ‘spikelet’ comprised of a pair of rudimentary glumes and sterile lemma (empty glumes) that subtends a single fertile floret. The floral organs consist of a ... -
Delineating the Roles for WNT Signaling During PRRs Driven Inflammatory Responses : Implications for Host-Pathogen Interaction
The mammalian immune system consists of the innate and adaptive arm/s that protect the host against pathogenic infections in a highly coordinated process involving multiple steps. Innate immune cells such as macrophages ... -
Delineation Of Signal Transduction Events During The Induction Of SOCS3 By Mycobacterium Bovis BCG : Possible Implications For Immune Subversion Mechanisms
(2010-09-30)Pathogenic Mycobacteria are among the most unrelenting pathogens known to mankind as one-third of the world population is latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of pulmonary tuberculosis. ... -
Delineation Of Signaling Events Regulating Mycobacterium Bovis BCG Induced Expression Of MMR-9 And SPI6 : Possible Implications For Immune Subversion Mechanisms
(2013-08-30)One key to the pathogenic potential of the mycobacteria lies in their capacity to resist destruction by infected macrophages and dendritic cells. Robust host immune responses during mycobacterial infection often involve a ...
