Field Investigations And Modeling of Flow in Vadose Zone in a Forested Watershed
(2017-10-18)The vadose zone is the unsaturated zone between the ground surface and water table. This zone is of much importance as it acts as a link between surface water and ground water. Knowledge of soil moisture in this zone is ... -
Finite Element Analysis of Interior and Boundary Control Problems
(2018-06-18)The primary goal of this thesis is to study finite element based a priori and a posteriori error estimates of optimal control problems of various kinds governed by linear elliptic PDEs (partial differential equations) of ... -
Finite Element Method based Model Order Reduction for Electromagnetics
Model order reduction (MOR) refers to the process of reducing the size of large scale discrete systems with the goal of capturing their behavior in a small and tractable model known as the reduced order model (ROM). ROMs ... -
Functional Index Coding, Network Function Computation, and Sum-Product Algorithm for Decoding Network Codes
(2018-01-10)Network coding was introduced as a means to increase throughput in communication networks when compared to routing. Network coding can be used not only to communicate messages from some nodes in the network to other nodes ... -
Functional Insights into the Canonical and Non-canonical Roles of the Fission Yeast Splicing Factor SpPrp16
The spliceosome is a large multi-megadalton RNA-protein machine which facilitates the removal of introns from eukaryotic nascent pre-mRNAs by two concerted transesterification reactions. The spliceosome is comprised of ... -
Further Structural Studies on Jacalin and Genomics Search for Mycobacterial and Archeal Lectins
(2017-12-03)This thesis consists of two parts. The first part is concerned with further structural and related studies of jacalin, one of the two lectins found in jack fruit seeds. The second part deals with the search of mycobacterial ... -
Fuzzy State Reservoir Operation Models For Irrigation
(2017-05-04)Efficient management of limited water resources in an irrigation reservoir system is necessary to increase crop productivity. To achieve this, a reservoir release policy should be integrated with an optimal crop water ... -
Generalized Circular and Elliptical Honeycomb Structures/Bundled Tubes : Effective Transverse Elastic Moduli
(2018-01-01)Omnipresence of heterogeneity is conspicuous in all creations of nature. Heterogeneity manifests itself in many forms at different scales, both in time and space. Engineering domain being an exotic fusion of human creativity ... -
Glucose and Lipid Metabolism during Pregnancy and Lactation in Rats : Role of Undercarboxylated Osteocalcin
(2018-02-07)Energy homeostasis is an important physiological mechanism essential for balancingenergy flow through the living systems by managing overall metabolism in the body. Thus, energy homeostasis is under a tight control by means ... -
Goldman Bracket : Center, Geometric Intersection Number & Length Equivalent Curves
(2017-11-30)Goldman [Gol86] introduced a Lie algebra structure on the free vector space generated by the free homotopy classes of oriented closed curves in any orientable surface F . This Lie bracket is known as the Goldman bracket ... -
A GPU Accelerated Tensor Spectral Method for Subspace Clustering
(2017-11-30)In this thesis we consider the problem of clustering the data lying in a union of subspaces using spectral methods. Though the data generated may have high dimensionality, in many of the applications, such as motion ... -
