Effects of Arctic Geoengineering on Precipitation in the Tropical Monsoon Regions
(2018-06-14)Arctic geoengineering wherein sunlight absorption is reduced only in the Arctic has been suggested as a remedial measure to counteract the on-going rapid climate change in the Arctic. Several modelling studies have shown ... -
Effects of Cyclic Permutation, Glycan Removal and Aspartate Mutagenesis on Conformation of HIV-1 Envelope
It has been decades since Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) was discovered. The virus has created havoc worldwide. According to the UNAIDS 2014 Gap report, 35million people worldwide are infected with HIV-1 and yet ... -
Effects Of Disorder On Physical Properties Of Selected Transition Metal Oxides
(2013-02-14)Disorder in materials often brings in new and exotic physical properties along with it. It is thus very important to study different kinds of disorder and their implications on various material properties. In this thesis, ... -
Effects Of Reinforcement Parameters On The Behavior Of Geosynthetic Reinforced Foundation Beds
(2010-09-22)Use of geosynthetics for reinforcing soil beds supporting shallow foundations has gained tremendous popularity in recent times. In this thesis, to study and understand the behaviour of geosynthetics reinforced soil ... -
The Effects of Social Capital and Open Innovation on R&D Outcomes and Job Satisfaction : A Study of The Indian Deference Sector
(2018-07-04)Social Capital and Open Innovation are important for organisational growth, as both of them influence Innovation, Learning and Job Satisfaction. The literature indicates that informal network measured as social capital and ... -
Effects Of Spin Polarization And Spatial Confinement On Optical Properties Of Bulk Semiconductors And Doped Quantum Wells
(2010-04-06)We correlated experimental results with theoretical estimations of the dielectric function ε(ω) in two contexts: the effect of an electric field in quantum wells and that of the spin polarization of an interacting electron-hole ... -
Effects of Steroid Hormones on Insulin Sensitivity and Lipogenesis: An Insight into the Involvement of the Wnt Signaling Pathway
The shift in maternal energy metabolism characteristic of pregnancy is thought to be driven by various hormonal changes, especially of ovarian and placental steroids. In this context, the effect of estradiol (E2), progesterone ... -
Effects of Strong Electron-Electron Correlations on Band Insulators in Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium
In this thesis, several aspects of correlation effects in band insulators that were hitherto not addressed, both in equilibrium and non-equilibrium, are studied using the Ionic Hubbard model (IHM) at half-filling and ... -
Efficacy of Solar irradiance, Methane and Black carbon aerosols
In climate science literature, the concept of radiative forcing is used to infer the equilibrium temperature change that would occur as a result of changes in the forcing agents such as greenhouse gases and aerosols. ... -
Efficient Algorithms for Learning Restricted Boltzmann Machines
The probabilistic generative models learn useful features from unlabeled data which can be used for subsequent problem-specific tasks, such as classification, regression or information retrieval. The RBM is one such important ... -
Efficient Algorithms for Structured Output Learning
(2018-05-08)Structured output learning is the machine learning task of building a classifier to predict structured outputs. Structured outputs arise in several contexts in diverse applications like natural language processing, computer ... -
Efficient and Convergent Algorithms for High-Fidelity Hyperspectral Image Fusion
Hyperspectral (HS) imaging refers to acquiring images with hundreds of bands corresponding to different wavelengths of light. HS imaging has a wide range of applications such as remote sensing, industrial inspection, ... -
Efficient and Resilient Stream Processing in Distributed Shared Environment
Internet of Things (IoT) deployments comprising of sensors and actuators collect observational data and provide continuous streams of data, often called streaming data or fast data. Smart Cities use such IoT technologies ... -
Efficient and Secure Search over Encrypted Data
Due to a variety of crucial bene fits, enterprises outsource their data to cloud resident storage. The outsourced data needs to be stored in encrypted form on remote untrusted servers to preserve privacy. However, if the ... -
Efficient Bandwidth Constrained Routing Protocols For Communication Networks
(2007-10-24)QoS routing is one of the major building blocks for supporting QoS in communication networks and, hence, a necessary component of future communication networks. Bandwidth- Constrained Routing Algorithm (BCRA) may help to ... -
Efficient betweenness Centrality Computations on Hybrid CPU-GPU Systems
(2017-10-11)Analysis of networks is quite interesting, because they can be interpreted for several purposes. Various features require different metrics to measure and interpret them. Measuring the relative importance of each vertex ... -
Efficient Cache Organization For Application Specific And General Purpose Processors
(2010-08-25)The performance gap between processor and memory continues to remain a major performance bottleneck in both application specific and general purpose processors. This thesis strives to ease the above bottleneck by exploiting ...
