Accurate Computational Algorithms For Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
(2010-10-08)The numerics of hyperbolic conservation laws, e.g., the Euler equations of gas dynamics, shallow water equations and MHD equations, is non-trivial due to the convective terms being highly non-linear and equations being ... -
Acoustic Source Characterization Of The Exhaust And Intake Systems Of I.C. Engines
(2010-07-15)For an engine running at a constant speed, both exhaust and intake processes are periodic in nature. This inspires the muffler designer to go for the much easier and faster frequency domain modeling. But analogous to ... -
An Algorithmic Approach To Some Matrix Equivalence Problems
(2010-06-09)The analysis of similarity of matrices over fields, as well as integral domains which are not fields, is a classical problem in Linear Algebra and has received considerable attention. A related problem is that of simultaneous ... -
Analysis Of Productivity Growth In Indian Electronics Industry : Significance Of Management Decision Variables As Determinants
(2010-09-03)The present study is an attempt to analyze the impact of changing policy regime during the liberalization era on the behaviour of 81 sample firms in Indian electronics industry in terms of factor productivities. We categorise ... -
Analytical And Numerical Study Of Propagation In Optical Waveguides And Devices In Linear And Nonlinear Domains
(2010-07-23)The objective of this thesis is to study of optical effects, arising in the form of non-uniform waveguide structure, complicated refractive index profiles or due to pulse propagation in dense wavelength division multiplexing ... -
Antioxidant Activity Of The Anti-Inflammatory Compound Ebselen And Its Analogues : Role Of Nonbonded Interactions
(2010-10-05)Although considered as a poison for long time, the importance of selenium as an essential trace element is now well recognized. In proteins, the redox active selenium moiety is incorportated as selenocysteine (Sec), the ... -
Applications Of Social Network Analysis To Community Dynamics
(2010-08-24)This thesis concerns Social Network Analysis as a mechanism for exploring Community Dynamics. To be able to use the Social Network methodologies, relationships existing between the modeling entities are required. In this ... -
An Assessment Of The Simulation Of Monsoon And Inter Tropical Convergence Zone In Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Models
(2010-10-08)Monsoons and Intertropical Convergence Zones (ITCZ) exhibit variability at various temporal and spatial scales. The temporal scale of variability encompasses scales from the intraseasonal through interannual to interdecadal ... -
Batch Processsor Scheduling - A Class Of Problems In Steel Casting Foundries
(2010-09-15)Modern manufacturing systems need new types of scheduling methods. While traditional scheduling methods are primarily concerned with sequencing of jobs, modern manufacturing environments provide the additional possibility ... -
Boxicity, Cubicity And Vertex Cover
(2010-09-28)The boxicity of a graph G, denoted as box(G), is the minimum dimension d for which each vertex of G can be mapped to a d-dimensional axis-parallel box in Rd such that two boxes intersect if and only if the corresponding ... -
Breakout Noise From The Coupled Acoustic-Structural HVAC Systems
(2010-07-19)Noise control in the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems is one of the critical design parameters in measuring the occupant comfort. The noise generated by air-handling units propagates through the ... -
Cell Survival Strategies : Role Of Gyrase Modulatory Proteins
(2010-07-21)A steady state level of negative supercoiling is essential for chromosome condensation, initiation of replication and subsequent elongation step. DNA gyrase, found in every eubacteria, serves the essential housekeeping ... -
The Changing Nature Of Rainfall Annual Cycle And The Propagation Characteristics Of The Intraseasonal Oscillations In Flood And Drought Years Of The Indian Monsoon
(2010-08-30)Using a 50-year (1951-2000) gridded (1-degree) daily rainfall data set over the Indian land region, we study two main aspects of the Indian monsoon. The first aspect deals with the changing nature of the rainfall annual ... -
Charge Transport In Transparent Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Networks And Devices
(2010-06-02)Carbon nanotubes show a wide range of transport behavior that varies from ballistic to hopping regime, depending on the nature of disorder in the system. Minute variations in disorder can lead from weak to strong localization, ... -
Chiral Bisphosphinites For Asymmetric Catalysis
(2010-07-21)Chiral bisphosphinites are well-documented alternatives for chiral bisphosphines as ligands that can be exploited in various asymmpetric syntheses. Particularly, vicinal biarylphophinite ligands give a seven membered chelate ... -
