Design of Increasing Block Tariff (IBT) for Pricing Domestic Water: A Simulation Approach
In recent times, urban water utilities have shown increasing preference for increasing block tariff (IBT) for pricing domestic water. Although appealing at the outset, IBT’s can fall short of achieving its goals such as ... -
Design of Influenza Immunogens by Hemagglutinin (HA) Protein Minimization
(2018-01-31)Influenza virus is a pleiomorphic human pathogen which causes self-limiting respiratory illness lasting one-two weeks in most individuals. However, in immunologically compromised individuals, influenza infection may lead ... -
Design Of Innovative Mechanisms For Contemporary Game Theoretic Problems In Electronic Commerce
(2008-09-09)Game theory and mechanism design have emerged as an important tool to model, analyze,and solve decentralized design problems involving multiple agents that interact strategically in a rational and intelligent way. Some ... -
Design Of Linear Precoded MIMO Communication Systems
(2009-07-09)This work deals with the design of MT transmit, MR receive antenna MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) communication system where the transmitter performs a linear operation on data. This linear precoding model includes ... -
Design of Non-Cartesian k-space Trajectories for Reduced Scan Time in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive and safe medical imaging technique. This imaging modality collects samples in the Fourier domain, called as the k-space. The k-space is traversed along continuous trajectories ... -

The thesis entitled “Design of Novel NMR Methodologies to address diverse challenging problems in Chemistry” discusses the design of number of novel NMR methodologies which have broader utility and, also the extensive ... -
Design of Novel Protocols for Chiral Analysis and Exploring Hydrogen Bond Directed Conformations
The research work reported in this thesis is focused on the chiral analysis and exploring hydrogen bonding. In chiral analysis, the study is aimed at the introduction of new versatile chiral solvating agents (CSA) and also ... -
Design of parallel algorithms for a multiple bus multiprocessor system
Matrix operations play a crucial role in scientific computations. This thesis presents the design and analysis of four parallel matrix computation algorithms specifically suited for a broadcast bus-based Multiple Bus ... -
Design of pattern classifiers using optimization techniques
Of the various approaches to the design of pattern classifiers, those that depend on a given finite set of patterns have received considerable attention in the literature. These approaches fall into two categories depending ... -
Design of Placement Delivery Arrays for Shared Cache and Multi-antenna Coded Caching Problems
Caching has been considered as a promising technique to handle the exponential growth of wireless data traffic. The caches distributed across the network are utilized to shift some of the peak-hour traffic to off-peak ... -
Design of Planar Supersonic Wind Tunnel Nozzle
This thesis revisits the design of a planar supersonic nozzle for a supersonic wind tunnel using the method of characteristics (MOC) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). While design of a converging-diverging (CD) ... -
Design of Privacy Protection Schemes for Mobile Adhoc Networks using Rough Set Theory
MANET is a self-con guring, decentralized and infrastructure-less mobile wireless network, where autonomous mobile nodes (such as laptops, smartphones, sensors, etc.) communicate over the wireless channels. Thus, MANETs ... -
Design of Quality Assuring Mechanisms with Learning for Strategic Crowds
(2018-05-23)In this thesis, we address several generic problems concerned with procurement of tasks from a crowd that consists of strategic workers with uncertainty in their qualities. These problems assume importance as the quality ... -
Design Of Robust Power System Damping Controllers For Interconnected Power Systems
(2012-04-20)Small signal oscillation has been always a major concern in the operation of power systems. In a generator, the electromechanical coupling between the rotor and the rest of the system causes it to behave in a manner similar ... -
Design of soluble and particulate immunogens derived from the stem of Influenza hemagglutinin
Influenza is a highly contagious virus, belonging to the family Orthomyxoviridae that causes acute febrile respiratory illness which can be fatal in some cases. The highest risk groups for influenza viral infection ... -
Design of Structures and Mechanisms using Topological Derivatives and Exploration of 4D-printed Shape Morphing Structures
We employ topological derivatives to design supports for stiff structures and compliant mechanisms along with exploration of design features for 4D-printed shape-morphing structures. Topological derivative (TD) has been ... -
