This thesis presents innovative designs and control strategies for enhancing the performance and reliability of quadcopters, particularly in demanding and cluttered environments. The primary contributions include the ...

The development of advanced nanocomposites for musculoskeletal repair represents a significant leap in biomedical engineering. These nanocomposites leverage the properties of hydrogels and hydroxyapatite (HAP) to address ...

Earth is the only rocky planet in the Solar System with a compositionally evolved (felsic) continental crust. This incompatible element enriched layer is dominantly formed by extraction of melt from the upper mantle leading ...

Rapid industrialization has boosted economic growth but also increased contaminants in air, water, and soil. Improper disposal of municipal solid waste and industrial effluents has rendered many groundwater sources unfit ...

The Late Cenozoic era (23.03 million years ago to the present) offers a critical time window to examine the role of greenhouse gases, notably CO2 (ranging between 910 ppm and 180 ppm), in the operation of Earth's system ...

Metallic materials are used for osteosynthesis, and outcomes are expected to be complete healing. The latter part generally becomes unachievable when human subjects need complicated surgery. This situation generally requires ...

The mechanisms of poleward propagation of tropical intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs) are not well-understood. In this thesis, we investigate this issue for two such tropical ISOs over the Indian Ocean, namely, the Boreal ...

Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation (BSISO) is the dominant mode of tropical variability during Boreal summers. BSISO is manifested by northward propagation of the Maximum Cloud Zone (MCZ) from the warm equatorial ...

The transportation system is one of the main pillars impacting Quality of Life (QOL) as it fulfills people's basic needs by providing access to daily activities. Rapid urbanization, with more people migrating to urban areas ...

Monitoring pollution levels and extent is crucial for preserving our environment's sustainability. Advances in the technology sector, facilitated by new materials and methods, have significantly improved. Nonetheless, these ...
