Escape Of High Mass Ions Due To Initial Thermal Energy And Its Implications For RF Trap Design
(2013-05-31)This thesis investigates the loss of high mass ions due to the initial thermal energy in ion trap mass analyzers. It provides an analytical expression for estimating the percentage loss of ions of a given mass at a particular ... -
ESD Reliability Physics and Reliability Aware Design of Advanced High Voltage CMOS & Beyond CMOS Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) reliability is one of the major reliability concerns in integrated circuits (IC), which if not addressed while designing devices and circuits, can lead to a permanent damage to the Integrated ... -
Establishing Super- and Sub-Chandrasekar Limiting Mass White Dwarfs to Explain Peculiar Type La Supernovae
(2018-06-23)A white dwarf is most likely the end stage of a low mass star like our Sun, which results when the parent star consumes all the hydrogen in its core, thus bringing fusion to a halt. It is a dense and compact object, where ... -
Establishment of a knock-in mouse model expressing a hypomorphic variant of receptor guanylyl cyclase C
Receptor guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C, gene GUCY2C) is expressed on the apical surface of the intestinal epithelial cells and gets activated by the endogenous ligands guanylin and uroguanylin. Heat-stable enterotoxin (ST) ... -
Establishment of an Experimental System in India to Measure the Mixing Ratio and Stable Isotopic Composition of Air CO2 & Observations from Urban and Marine Environments
(2018-04-11)The thesis presents observations on the CO2 mixing ratio and the carbon isotopic ratio (13C/12C i.e. δ13) of atmospheric CO2 from the Indian region, for the period 2008 - 2011. An experimental system was established at the ... -
Establishment of human ectopic liver tissue in immunocompromised mice as a model for Hepatitis C Virus studies
Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) leads to an inflammatory condition which may progress to liver cirrhosis and in some cases, hepato-cellular carcinoma. Though, new drugs are being added to the list of HCV therapeutics, ... -
Estimation and Control of Friction in Bulk Plastic Deformation Process
Friction plays a significant role in bulk plastic deformation processes in controlling the tool life, formability of the work piece material and the quality of the finished product such as, surface finish, microstructure ... -
Estimation of Daily Actual Evapotranspiration using Microwave and Optical Vegetation Indices for Clear and Cloudy Sky Conditions
(2018-05-25)Evapotranspiration (ET) is a significant hydrological process. It can be studied and estimated using remote sensing based methods at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Most commonly and widely used remote sensing based ... -
Estimation of flashovers in the EHV/UHV lines on the east coast due to lightning produced by the Bay of Bengal cyclones
Electric Power is imperative for the modern world. The quality and reliability of the power supply can be impaired by several factors. Lightning is one such natural threat that disrupts the continuity of supply and can ... -
Estimation of Glacier Mass Balance at Basin Scale in the Himalaya for Recent Decades and Future
The Himalayan glaciers are a major source of perennial river systems which support the livelihood of millions of people in south Asia. Therefore, it is important to understand changes in water resources due to changes in ... -
Estimation Of Object Shape From Scattered Field
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-09-27)The scattered field from an object, when illuminated with ultrasound, is useful in the reconstruction of it's cross section - a problem broadly classified as 'tomography'. In many situations of medical imaging, we will ... -
Estimation of Root Zone Soil Hydraulic Properties by Inversion of a Crop Model using Ground or Microwave Remote Sensing Observations
(2018-02-09)Good estimates of soil hydraulic parameters and their distribution in a catchment is essential for crop and hydrological models. Measurements of soil properties by experimental methods are expensive and often time consuming, ... -
Estimation of Stress Concentration and Stress Intensity Factors by a Semi-Analytical Method
(2018-05-29)The presence of notches or cracks causes stresses to amplify in nearby regions. This phenomenon is studied by estimating the Stress Concentration Factor (SCF) for notches, and the Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) for cracks. ... -
Estimation of the spatial spread of brain signals at multiple scales
Spatial spread of a particular brain signal can be defined as the area of the cortical tissue around the recording electrode that contributes to the electrical activity recorded by the electrode. More specifically, ... -
Estradiol Induced Changes In Neuronal Excitability And Neuron-Astrocyte Signaling In Mixed Hippocampal Cultures
(2010-03-02)One of the defining characteristics of the brain is its plasticity, which is the ability to alter and reorganize neuronal circuits. The brain is constantly being shaped and moulded by the external world through endogenous ... -
