Foreign colloboration in Indian Industry an economic analysis
Based on the findings of the study, an evaluation of the current foreign collaboration policy of the Indian government and recommendations for optimisation of results from such policies is attempted in this chapter. (i) ... -
The Shifting of corporation income tax in India : 1950-1965
The purpose of this study is to determine empirically the extent of the short?run shifting of the corporation income tax in India. To accomplish this, two single?equation models are developed, based on slight modifications ... -
Some thermal instrumentation for investigations on the critical phenomena in binary liquid systems
Abstract not available -
Effect of trade addition of tin on the isothermal and di- isothermal geing characteristic of anlminium- magnesium 0.26 silicon alloy
Pre?precipitation and precipitation processes in quenched supersaturated solid solutions of age?hardenable alloy systems are known to be vacancy?aided phenomena. The clustering kinetics would be significantly altered when ... -
Bioleaching of a lean grade chalcopyrite ore : studies on amenability and mechanisms
The role of bacteria in the leaching of mineral sulphides is discussed with respect to Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. Column leaching studies were carried out on Malanjkhand lean?grade chalcopyrite ore samples using Thiobacillus ... -
Benificiation Studies on Low Grade Tungsten Dposits of Degana, Rajasthan
The unique high?temperature properties of tungsten and its alloys are responsible for increased demand for this metal, particularly in the forms of carbide and pure metal. It is also an important strategic material for ... -
Multicriteria games with applications to two-target game problems.
The primary objective of this thesis was to develop new solution concepts for two?person multicriteria games, emphasizing the security aspect of the players’ strategies, and to demonstrate their application to two?target ... -
Hybrid evolutionary algorithms for supervised and unsupervised learning
The main focus of this work is the development of hybrid evolutionary algorithms. Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are stochastic optimization algorithms inspired by natural evolution. EAs include Genetic Algorithms (GAs), ... -
Modeling and analysis of adaptive window controlled randomly arriving file transfers in Internets
The Internet carries predominantly elastic traffic generated by applications such as email, web transfers, and file transfers, and the bandwidth sharing between such sessions is controlled by the Transmission Control ... -
Non linear vibrations of stretched strings
The results obtained in this chapter can be summarized as follows. It is not possible to induce purely transverse oscillations since longitudinal and transverse oscillations are coupled together. However, if the order of ... -
PC. base interferometer for radio astronomy
5.1 Review As shown in the previous chapters through analytical, design, and experimental studies, the PC?based DAS is a very useful building block in radio interferometry. This has enabled the development of a PC?based ... -
Numerical studies of unsteady boundary layer flow problems
This thesis presents the results of numerical investigations on certain unsteady laminar incompressible boundary?layer flow problems. It consists of an introductory chapter and four main chapters. The introductory chapter ... -
Flow in pipes of uniform and non-uniform cross-sections with physiological applications
Laminar flow in pipes and channels with uniform and non-uniform cross-sections plays an important role in many engineering and physiological flow problems. Flow of blood through catheterised and stenosed (constricted) blood ... -
High performance optimistic parallel discrete event simulation in a network of linux machines
Parallel Discrete Event Simulation (PDES) refers to the execution of a discrete?event simulation on a parallel or distributed system. The synchronization mechanism of PDES uses either an optimistic or conservative approach. ... -
Object-Oriented software engineering of a compiler prototyp-ing system
A compiler consists of two phases: source program analysis and object program generation. The problem of compilation has been extensively studied and many tools and techniques for building the analysis phase are available. ... -
Efficient algorithms for linearly constrained convex programming and some proximity problems
This thesis addresses the following problems: Linearly constrained convex programming problem in n constraints and d dimensions for a fixed d. Some proximity problems between two convex polyhedra A and B, each polyhedron ... -
Spin-statistics correletions in various noncommutative field theories
Intuitive arguments involving standard quantum?mechanical uncertainty relations suggest that at length scales close to the Planck length, strong gravity effects will limit the spatial as well as temporal resolution to ... -
Thermodynamic properties of p-xylene - chloroethans
The importance of accurate thermodynamic data of pure substances and mixtures in research and industry hardly needs any emphasis. Apart from their utility in process design calculations, such data are useful in theoretical ... -
Studies in dehydrochlorination of 1,1, 2, 2 Tetrachloroethane
Dehydrochlorination of tetrachloroethane is studied both in homogeneous as well as in heterogeneous phases. The feasibility of the reaction has been evaluated from thermodynamic considerations. The reaction is found to ... -
studies on oxidation of anthracene
Anthraquinone is an important dye intermediate. The demand for anthraquinone in India is likely to go up in the next few years, making its manufacture promising. Among the various methods, vapour phase catalytic oxidation ...
