(2017-09-26)The Standard Model (SM) of the particle physics, based on the gauge group SU(3) ×SU(2)L × U(1)Y , has been a successful theory which provides consistent description of all phenomena ranging from the nuclear beta decay to ... -
Itaconate-based Periodically Grafted Polyesters
(2017-12-03)Block copolymers can self-assemble into a variety of periodic nanostructures and therefore, are promising candidates for a diverse range of applications. While self-assembly of block copolymers has been widely studied and ... -
Kinetic Streamlined-Upwind Petrov Galerkin Methods for Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations
(2017-09-20)In the last half a century, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been established as an important complementary part and some times a significant alternative to Experimental and Theoretical Fluid Dynamics. Development ... -
Kinetic Theory Based Numerical Schemes for Incompressible Flows
(2018-02-07)Turbulence is an open and challenging problem for mathematical approaches, physical modeling and numerical simulations. Numerical solutions contribute significantly to the understand of the nature and effects of turbulence. ... -
Lab Experiment Documenting Growth of Microbes in an Extreme Condition
Bacterial population during 3.2 billion years of early earth was responsible for modifying the greenhouse gas concentration in the early earth. Here we studied the primitive facultative anaerobe E.coli K12, known to contain ... -

Large Area Electronics with Fluids : Field Effect on 2-D Fluid Ribbons for Desalination And Energy Harvesting
(2017-10-18)This work studies the influence of field effect on large area 2 dimensional ribbons of fluids. A fluid of choice is confined in the channel of a metal-insulator-channel-insulator-metal architecture and is subjected to ... -
Large Area MoS2 : Growth and Device Characteristics
(2018-06-26)There has been growing interest in two-dimensional (2-D) crystals beyond graphene for next-generation nano-electronics. Transition metal dichalcogenides have been most widely studied, for their semiconducting characteristics ... -
Lattice Boltzmann Relaxation Schemes for High Speed Flows
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has emerged as a highly efficient model for the simulation of incompressible flows in the last few decades. Its extension to compressible flows is hindered by the fact that the ... -
Learning with Complex Performance Measures : Theory, Algorithms and Applications
(2017-12-07)We consider supervised learning problems, where one is given objects with labels, and the goal is to learn a model that can make accurate predictions on new objects. These problems abound in applications, ranging from ... -
LES Study Of Free Jets And Jets Impinging On Cuboidal Cavity
(2016-09-15)Numerical solutions based on explicit filtered LES for computing turbulent flow field, of free round jets and impinging round jet on cuboidal cavities, are presented and discussed in this dissertation work. One-parameter ... -
Lessons for Conformal Field Theories from Bootstrap and Holography
(2018-02-06)The work done in this thesis includes an exploration of both the conformal field theory techniques and holographic techniques of the Gauge/Gravity duality. From the field theory, we have analyzed the analytical aspects of ... -

For the last few decades, the physics of doped perovskite manganite’s (RMnO3) has been an area of intense research due to their interesting physical and electronic properties. Various exciting phenomena such as, colossal ... -
Maintaining Underwater Cassie State for Sustained Drag Reduction in Channel Flow
(2018-02-21)Water droplets tend to bead up on rough or textured hydrophobic surfaces by trapping air on the crevices underneath resulting in “Cassie” state of wetting. When a textured hydrophobic surface is immersed in water, the ... -
The Many Facets of Variabilities in X-ray Binaries
(2018-02-28)More than half a decade of X-ray astronomy with various balloon borne and space orbiting X-ray instruments, have led to discoveries and detailed studies of X-ray binaries. An important property of X-ray binaries is intensity ... -
