Ab initio Quantum Chemical Studies on Kinetic Fractionation during the analysis of Carbonates for the Clumped Isotope Thermometry
Stable and clumped isotopic compositions of molecules and minerals carry the signatures of temperatures and other physical and chemical conditions of the time of their formation. Isotopic compositions of such precipitate ... -
Activin and TGF-β signaling: Differential role of a Serine/Threonine phosphate in the regulation of SMAD2 activity
Activins are the most prominent members of the Activin/Inhibin branch of the TGF-β superfamily. Similar to TGF-β, they play an essential role in regulating multiple physiological processes such as development, reproductive ... -
Activity-travel behavior modeling of pilgrims in mass religious gatherings
The number of participants in mass gatherings like Kumbh Mela is ever increasing. Simulations for pre-event crowd modeling, risk assessment, and control planning can help set up robust crowd management and control mechanisms. ... -
Adaptive reduced order modeling of dynamical systems through novel a posteriori error estimators : Application to uncertainty quantification
Multi-query problems such as uncertainty quantification, optimization of a dynamical system require solving a governing differential equation at multiple parameter values. Therefore, for large systems, the computational ... -
Addressing Energy and Performance Related Challenges in Networked Embedded Systems
Networked Embedded Systems comprise of spatially and functionally distributed nodes that are interconnected with one another and with the environment to achieve certain goals. The nodes are connected to one another through ... -
Addressing the Performance and Reliability Bottlenecks in 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenide (TMD) Based Transistor Technology
In this thesis, we presented different contributions towards the development of 2D material technology. Firstly the realization of desired dimensions over singlecrystal high-quality MoS2 material through dry etching ... -
Advanced Instrumentation for Detection of Defects and Diseases in Sericulture
Sericulture is the art of rearing silkworms for silk production. The matured silkworms will be spinning cocoons as a protective shield before they undergo metamorphosis. These cocoons are immersed in boiling water to soften, ... -
Advances in High Dynamic Range Imaging Using Deep Learning
Natural scenes have a wide range of brightness, from dark starry nights to bright sunlit beaches. Our human eyes can perceive such a vast range of illumination through various adaptation techniques, thus allowing us to ... -
Aerodynamics of Nose Mounted Propeller Aircraft
The thesis deals with the aerodynamic analysis of a nose-mounted propeller aircraft using the flow solver HiFUN. Unsteady RANS simulations using sliding mesh technology is performed on aircraft with the propeller. The study ... -
Ageing associated altered host response to bacterial infection
Chapters in which I have elucidated and elaborately described how senescence alters the cellular response to infection, here I demonstrate how senescence in multiple tissues simultaneously contribute to pathogen spread and ... -
Algorithmic and Hardness Results for Fundamental Fair-Division Problems
The theory of fair division addresses the fundamental problem of dividing a set of resources among the participating agents in a satisfactory or meaningfully fair manner. This thesis examines the key computational challenges ... -
Algorithms for Fair Clustering
Many decisions today are taken by various machine learning algorithms, hence it is crucial to accommodate fairness in such algorithms to remove/reduce any kind of bias in the decision. We incorporate fairness in the ... -
Allylic Halogenation Route to Latent-Active Trans-Glycosylation of Allyl Glycoside Donors
Allylic halogenation of allyl glycosides as a new route to allyl glycoside donors in glycosylations is investigated in this thesis. Allyl functionality is one of the commonly adopted protecting groups to hydroxyl groups ... -
Analysis and Enhancement of Stability of Power Systems with Utility-scale Photovoltaic Power Plants
Owing to the negative impact of carbon emissions on environment, power systems are experiencing a paradigm shift in power generation. The fossil fuel-based generators that utilize synchronous machines are increasingly being ... -
Analysis and Methods for Knowledge Graph Embeddings
Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are multi-relational graphs where nodes represent entities, and typed edges represent relationships among entities. These graphs store real-world facts such as (Lionel Messi, plays-for-team, Barcelona) ... -
Analysis of Fracture Processes in Steel Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites using Acoustic Emission Testing
Plain concrete has low tensile strength. Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is an alternative to plain concrete. One of the major reasons of using the SFRC is due to its high tensile strength. The fracture process ... -
Analysis of Transcritical CO2 and CO2+ Propane Mixtures for Tropical Cooling Applications
The increasing global average ambient temperatures coupled with stringent environmental regulations has turned the focus on natural working fluids such as Carbon dioxide (CO2), and hydrocarbons for use in the refrigeration ... -
Analytical Applications of Bile Acid-derived Soft Materials
Supramolecular gels are soft materials with solid-like properties such as supporting weight and retaining shape; and some liquid-like features which make them injectable, printable, etc. On the other hand, lanthanide-based ... -
Analytical models of selected stochastic processes in condensed phase systems
This thesis is a record of the research I have carried out over the last five years to understand a selection of problems in the broad area of single-molecule physics. These problems cover four broad themes: (i) dynamically ... -
Antibacterial Surfaces Mechanisms, Design and Development
The spread of disease-causing microorganisms through high-touch surfaces and their increased tolerance against antimicrobials and the host immune system is responsible for several fatal diseases. By the year 2050, Antimicrobial ...
