Fast total variation minimizing image restoration under mixed Poisson-Gaussian noise
Image acquisition in many biomedical imaging modalities is corrupted by Poisson noise followed by additive Gaussian noise. Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) based restoration methods that use the exact Likelihood ... -
Fast, Scalable, Contention-Based Algorithms for Multi-Node Selection in OFDMA and Cooperative Wireless Systems
(2018-04-23)Opportunistic selection algorithms have grown in importance as next generation wireless systems strive towards higher data rates and spectral efficiencies. For example, in orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA), ... -
Fate and Remediation of Ammonium-n In Pit Toilet Blackwater
Pit toilets satisfy the sanitation requirement in regions with no access to piped sewerage facilities. Black water discharged from pit toilets is a major source of groundwater pollution. The primary focus of the thesis is ... -
Fatigue Crack Growth in Roller-Rocker and Rocker Bearings of Railway Steel Bridges
Indian Railways comprise a major part of the infrastructure in India. Most of the transportation of raw materials, goods, and people from different parts of the country is done by the railways. To cope with the ever-increasing ... -
Fatigue Damage Characterization Of Carbon/Epoxy Laminates Under Spectrum Loading
(2013-10-04)Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites are extensively used in aircraft structures because of its high specific stiffness, high specific strength and tailorability. Though Fibre Reinforced Polymers offer many advantages, they ... -
Fatty Acid And Triacylglycerol Synthesis In Developing Seeds Of Groundnut (Arachis Hypogaea) And Pisa (Actinodaphne Hookeri)
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-18)The term "lipid" covers an extremely diverse range of chemical or molecular species. Lipids, defined as molecules that are sparingly soluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents, are broadly categorized into ... -
Fault Location in Double Wye Shunt Capacitor Banks
Shunt capacitor banks (SCBs) are usually used for providing reactive power support to power systems. Reactive power support leads to power factor correction, voltage regulation and reduction of network losses. Outage of ... -
A Feasibility Map-Based Framework and Its Implementation for Selection in Engineering Design
(2018-06-26)A pragmatic method for selecting components and devices from a database or parameterized models is developed in this thesis. The quantitative framework presented here is sufficiently general to accommodate an entire device ... -
Feasible and Intrinsic Kinetoelastostatic Maps for Compliant Mechanisms
(2018-03-06)Despite many advances in the design methods for compliant mechanisms, it is still not possible to know if a set of user-specifications has a solution. Furthermore, practical considerations such as failure limits and ... -
Feasible Path Prescription for Engineering Systems in a High-Index Constrained Dynamics Framework
Constrained dynamic performance and control models of complex engineering systems can be represented in the form of a Differential Algebraic Equation (DAE) system. The high-index of this DAE system poses computational ... -
Feature Adaptation Algorithms for Reinforcement Learning with Applications to Wireless Sensor Networks And Road Traffic Control
(2017-09-20)Many sequential decision making problems under uncertainty arising in engineering, science and economics are often modelled as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). In the setting of MDPs, the goal is to and a state dependent ... -
Feature Selection under Multicollinearity & Causal Inference on Time Series
(2018-08-20)In this work, we study and extend algorithms for Sparse Regression and Causal Inference problems. Both the problems are fundamental in the area of Data Science. The goal of regression problem is to nd out the \best" ... -
Feature-based Approach for Semantic Interoperability of Shape Models
(2018-02-20)Semantic interoperability (SI) of a product model refers to automatic exchange of meaning associated with the product data, among applications/domains throughout the product development cycle. In the product development ... -
FEM Based Stochastic Analysis of Tolerance in Electromagnetic Periodic Structures
Solution of Maxwell's equations is required to model and analyse electromagnetic behaviour of circuits, components and systems. These equations being partial differ finial equations of vector field quantities with spatial ... -
Fermi Bubbles and Galactic Outflows in Circumgalactic Medium
Galactic outflows play an important role in the formation and evolution of galaxies by regulating the star formation rate (SFR) within them and by throwing out metals into the intergalactic medium (IGM). They are key to ... -
Ferroelectric Perovskite Superlattices By Pulsed Laser Ablation
(2010-03-18)Fabrication of artificially structured superlattices, when controlled on a nanoscale level, can exhibit enhanced dielectric properties over a wide temperature range. Possible fabrication of new functional devices based on ... -
