3D Dosimetry using optical tomography and electronic portal images
The primary goal of this thesis is to develop techniques to quantify the radiation dose distributions used in radiotherapy for cancer treatment. It aims at developing a physically profound calculation model for the transit ... -
3D Packaging for Integration of Heterogeneous Systems
With several new applications getting developed around wearable technologies for Internet of Things (IoT), there has been a growing need for development of the miniaturized systems. Emerging applications in healthcare, ... -
Absorptive Capacity, Cluster Level Interactions, Innovation and Performance of Firms in the High-tech Manufacturing Cluster of Bengaluru
Researchers have identified absorptive capacity, which is a measure of dynamic capability of a firm, as one of the critical factors that drives interactions of a firm with other firms and associated institutions within and ... -
Acquiring diagnostic knowledge from documents to predict issues in aircraft assembly
Expert knowledge is important in a product's lifecycle, especially during the manufacturing part of the lifecycle. Most of such knowledge is obtained through experience and its reuse can help prevent potential issues in ... -
Adaptive Filtering for Large Eddy Simulation of Flows with Shocks and its Application to Launch Pad Deflectors
During lift-off of launch vehicles jets from nozzles impinge on a wedge deflector which directs the jet away from the rocket along passages. As a high Reynolds number turbulent flow the whole region has a broad spectrum ... -
Adaptively Secure Primitives in the Random Oracle Model
Adaptive security embodies one of the strongest notions of security that allows an adversary to corrupt parties at any point during protocol execution and gain access to its internal state. Since it models reallife situations ... -
Adjacent Independent Row (Air) Matrices and Index Coding
An index coding problem, comprises a transmitter that has a set of independent messages and a set of receivers. Each receiver knows a subset of messages, called its side-information, and demands another subset of messages, ... -
An advection velocity correction scheme for interface tracking using the level-set method
An advection velocity correction (AVC) scheme for interface tracking using the level-set method is presented in this thesis. The key idea is to apply a correction to the interface advection velocity at points adjacent ... -
Algorithms for Multilingual IR in Low Resource Languages using Weakly Aligned Corpora
Multilingual information retrieval (MLIR) methods generally rely on linguistic resources such as dictionaries, parallel corpora, etc., to overcome the language barrier. For low resource languages without these resources, ... -
Alluaudite Class of High-Voltage Cathodes for Sodium-Ion Battery Applications: A Synthesis, Structure, Property Correlation Study
The work presented in this thesis demonstrates alluaudites as a niche class of compounds forming the rich treasure house of sodium insertion hosts. The potential of this open frame-worked alluaudites is immense and ... -
Altering DNA topology in mycobacteria: impact of perturbation of DNA gyrase on physiology and gene expression
In the current dissertation, efforts have been made to probe the in vivo role of DNA gyrase to determine its importance in the growth, physiology and gene expression in mycobacteria. In this dissertation, the role of DNA ... -
Analysis and Control of Cascades in Complex Networks
Our modern societies are best described as complex systems consisting of a large number of interacting components. Understanding the nature of these interactions is crucial, not only for gaining insights, but also for ... -
Analytical Mellin-Barnes techniques with applications to two-loop SU(3) chiral perturbation theory and QED at higher loops
The present era is one of precision in particle physics. To account for the lacunae in the otherwise successful Standard Model, observables are calculated to high precision in various theoretical models, which are then ... -
Application of Semi Analytical Methods for Large Power System Simulations
Power system dynamics can be accurately modelled in time domain by using nonlinear differential and algebraic equations (DAEs). The challenge lies in solving the large number of nonlinear DAEs faster than real-time in order ... -
Applications of Holography
This thesis consists of four parts. In the first part of the thesis, we investigate the phase structure of Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar system with a negative cosmological constant. For the conformally coupled scalar, an ... -
Aqueous and Non- aqueous dispersions of MoS2 Nanosheets
The focus of this thesis is an attempt to provide a molecular perspective of the interactions of solvent and ligand molecules with sonication assisted exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets in aqueous and non-aqueous dispersions. In ... -
Architecting Conjugated Molecules for Band Gap Engineering & Photostability
Organic photovoltaic (OPV) modules are flexible, light weight, transparent and thin compared to other emerging photovoltaic technologies, making them well-suited for applications ranging from solar windows to fabrics. A ... -
Aspects of conformal field theories at finite temperature
In this thesis we have studied broadly two aspects of thermal field theory. We began by examining how the macroscopic system (described by relativistic hydrodynamics) behalves in presence of microscopic anomalies. We ... -
Aspects of time dependence in quantum quenches
In this thesis we study the time dependence of correlators such as Green function, entanglement (Renyi) entropy and mutual information following quantum quench in Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) and their holographic duals ... -
Assessment of University Technology Transfer Efficiency in the Context of Medical Device Technologies
(2018-07-18)Data to understand the inventiveness and technology transfer process for medical devices in India is lacking and majority of medical devices are imported. The presence of a medical school in a university system is expected ...
