1H-NMR Study of Proton Glasses - Nuclear Spin Lattice Relaxation in BPxBPI(1-x) and BPxGPI(1-x) - Effects of Disorder on the Proton Group Dynamics
Mixed systems made from a combination of ferroelectric (FE) and antiferroelectric (AFE) compounds, exhibit various effects of disorder in different temperature regions. The kind of effects observed, depend on the technique ... -
Acoustic Source Localization Using Time Delay Estimation
(2009-08-19)The angular location of an acoustic source can be estimated by measuring an acoustic direction of incidence based solely on the noise produced by the source. Methods for determining the direction of incidence based on sound ... -
Advanced Methodologies For Designing Metallic Armour Plates For Ballistic Impact
(2009-09-02)A Primary objective of the present research is the development of robust CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering)-based approaches for designing armour plates subjected to ballistic impact by small-calibre hardened peojectiles ... -
Aerodynamic Analysis Of Grid Fins Using Analytical And Computational Methods
(2009-07-16)Grid fins (lattice fins) are used as a lifting and control surface for highly manoeuvrable missiles. Grid fins also find their applications for air-launched submunitions. The main advantages are its low hinge moment ... -
All-Fiber Sensing Techniques For Structural Health Monitoring And Other Applications
(2010-03-02)In this thesis, we explore the four aspects of fiber Bragg grating sensors: mathematical modeling of Fiber Bragg Grating response/spectral characteristics, fabrication using phase mask, application and interrogation. ... -
Analysis And Predictions Of DNA Sequence Transformations On Grids
(2009-05-11)Phylogenetics is the study of evolution of organisms. Evolution occurs due to mutations of DNA sequences. The reasons behind these seemingly random mutations are largely unknown. There are many algorithms that build ... -
Analysis Of Coupled-Resonator Slow-Wave Structures For Traveling-Wave Tubes For Aerospace Applications
(2009-04-30)Through continued innovation and growth, traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) remains the microwave power amplifiers of choice in a wide range of high power microwave and millimeter-wave applications specifically for ... -
Analysis Of Electromagnetic Pulse Simulators
(2009-05-12)Electromagnetic pulse simulators are essential for testing the ability of electronic devices to withstand high intensity electromagnetic ends. This work presents the analysis of various parallel plate transmission lines ... -
Analysis Of Protein Evolution And Its Implications In Remote Homology Detection And Function Recognition
(2009-07-22)One of the major outcomes of a genome sequencing project is the availability of amino acid sequences of all the proteins encoded in the genome of the organism concerned. However, most commonly, for a substantial proportion ... -
Analytical, Numerical, And Experimental Studies Of Fluid Damping In MEMS Devices
(2009-09-11)Fluid damping arising from squeeze film flow of air or some inert gas trapped between an oscillating micro mechanical structure, such as a beam or a plate, and a fixed substrate often dominates the other energy dissipation ... -
An Anti-Skid Brake Controller For A Fighter Aircraft With An Elastic Strut
(2009-04-29)This thesis deals with the design of an anti-skid brake controller for a generic fighter aircraft. Antiskid brake controllers prevent wheel locking and maximize the coefficient of friction between the tyre and the ground, ... -
Automated Kinematic Assembly Modeling
(2013-10-21)The aim of this research is to bridge the gap between CAD modeling and kinematic analysis packages by extracting kinematic information directly from part genometries. It will relieve the designers from the tedious task ... -
Biochemical Characterization Of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mre11/Rad50/Xrs2 Using Telomeric DNA : A Role For The Endonucleolytic Activity Of Mre11 In Telomere Length Maintenance And Its Regulation By Rad50
(2009-05-15)Meiotic recombination is a prerequisite for exchange of genetic information in all Sexually reproducing organisms. This process is initiated by the formation of double stranded breaks (DSBs) in DNA followed by homology ... -
The Biology Of Two Sexes : A Study Of The Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Marginata
(2009-05-21)A striking feature of hymenopterans societies is the absence of male workers. Foraging, nest building, brood care and all other activities required for the functioning of the colony are carried out by the females. These ... -
Biomimetic Studies On Anti-Thyroid Drugs And Thyroid Hormone Synthesis
(2009-05-22)Thyroxine (T4), the main secretory hormone of the thyroid gland, is produced on thyroglobulin by thyroid peroxidase (TPO)/hydrogen peroxide/iodide system. The synthesis of T4 by TPO involves two independent steps: iodination ... -
Blind Detection Techniques For Spread Spectrum Audio Watermarking
(2009-08-13)In spreads pectrum (SS)watermarking of audio signals, since the watermark acts as an additive noise to the host audio signal, the most important challenge is to maintain perceptual transparency. Human perception is a very ... -
