Degradation Studies on Polymeric Insulators used for EHV and UHV Transmission
High voltage insulators used in overhead power transmission systems are of key im- portance for safe, reliable, and effcient operation of transmission line in transferring huge amount of electrical power. Conventionally, ... -
Dehydration of alcohols
Catalytic vapor phase dehydration of i-propanol, n-butanol, i-butanol, s-butanol and t-butanol is studied in a fixed bed flow reactor under isothermal conditions over various catalysts to understand the influence of catalyst ... -
Dehydrogenation of cyclohenxanol to cyclohexanone
The dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone has been studied in detail. The thermodynamic equilibrium constants at various temperatures have been collected from literature and the equilibrium conversions have been ... -
Deiodination of Thyroid Hormones by Iodothyronine Deiodinase Mimics
(2018-03-26)Thyroxine is the main secretory hormone of thyroid gland and it is produced in thyroglobulin by thyroid peroxidase/hydrogen peroxide/iodide system. After biosynthesis and secretion of thyroxine, it undergoes multiple ... -
Delamination Modeling and Detection in Composite Structures
(2017-12-12)Composite laminated structures are prone to delamination. Rotorcraft flexbeams, apart from many other aerospace primary load carrying members are made up of composite laminated structures. A delaminated primary load carrying ... -
Delaunay Graphs for Various Geometric Objects
(2017-12-12)Given a set of n points P ⊂ R2, the Delaunay graph of P for a family of geometric objects C is a graph defined as follows: the vertex set is P and two points p, p' ∈ P are connected by an edge if and only if there exists ... -
Delay Differentiation By Balancing Weighted Queue Lengths
(2017-05-04)Scheduling policies adopted for statistical multiplexing should provide delay differentiation between different traffic classes, where each class represents an aggregate traffic of individual applications having same ... -
Delay Minimization of an M/M/1 Point-to-Point Link Model Subject to Throughput and Power Constraints
(2018-02-15)In this thesis, we address the problem of minimizing the average delay of data pack-ets served by a transmitter on a static, point-to-point link. The transmitter dynamically chooses state-dependent admission and transmission ... -
Delayed Luminescent Materials: Development and Exploration of Applications
Delayed luminescence (DL) refers to light emission that persists after the excitation source is removed. Differing from conventional fluorescence, DL has a considerably longer lifetime attributable to the slow exciton ... -
Deliberations on Borrower Behaviour in the Context of Micro-finance
Micro-finance, a popular tool for poverty alleviation, has witnessed a cycle of reaching out to the credit strapped, recording high recovery rates, scaling up exponentially and facing mass defaults, world-over. The two ... -
Delineating the dynamics of neutrophil response in multiple inflammatory stimuli and its consequences
In this thesis, we investigate the regulation of neutrophils, an important component of the immune system, and its implications on inflammation and pathological conditions. We use biomaterial implants to induce chronic ... -
Delineating the Role of OsMADS1 in Auxin Distribution, Floret Identity and Floret Meristem Determinacy
(2017-12-02)Rice have highly derived florets borne on a short branch called ‘spikelet’ comprised of a pair of rudimentary glumes and sterile lemma (empty glumes) that subtends a single fertile floret. The floral organs consist of a ... -
Delineating the Roles for WNT Signaling During PRRs Driven Inflammatory Responses : Implications for Host-Pathogen Interaction
The mammalian immune system consists of the innate and adaptive arm/s that protect the host against pathogenic infections in a highly coordinated process involving multiple steps. Innate immune cells such as macrophages ... -
Delineation Of Signal Transduction Events During The Induction Of SOCS3 By Mycobacterium Bovis BCG : Possible Implications For Immune Subversion Mechanisms
(2010-09-30)Pathogenic Mycobacteria are among the most unrelenting pathogens known to mankind as one-third of the world population is latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of pulmonary tuberculosis. ... -
Delineation Of Signaling Events Regulating Mycobacterium Bovis BCG Induced Expression Of MMR-9 And SPI6 : Possible Implications For Immune Subversion Mechanisms
(2013-08-30)One key to the pathogenic potential of the mycobacteria lies in their capacity to resist destruction by infected macrophages and dendritic cells. Robust host immune responses during mycobacterial infection often involve a ... -
Delivery Strategies for Dynamic Contents in Edge Caching Systems
In today's digital age, multimedia consumption is pervasive, driven by video-on-demand platforms, online social networks, and sensor networks. Whether it is the latest blockbuster movie on a streaming service or real-time ... -
Demand Response Planning in a Transitioning Electricity System
Globally, the electricity systems are undergoing major transitions from robust, carbon intensive, and firm power conventional systems to uncertain, intermittent and variable renewable energy integrated low carbon systems. ... -
Demodulation of Narrowband Speech Spectrograms
(2017-11-22)Speech is a non-stationary signal and contains modulations in both spectral and temporal domains. Based on the type of modulations studied, most speech processing algorithms can be classified into short-time analysis ...
