Financing of Technology Startups in Bangalore: An Empirical Study of Requirements, Sources and Performance
Tech startups are integral drivers of economic growth in any economy, given their potential role and significance in employment generation, wealth creation, and aggregate output of a nation. However, most startups are ... -
Finding A Subset Of Non-defective Items From A Large Population : Fundamental Limits And Efficient Algorithms
(2017-07-12)Consider a large population containing a small number of defective items. A commonly encountered goal is to identify the defective items, for example, to isolate them. In the classical non-adaptive group testing (NAGT) ... -
Finding the Way Back Home : A study of Spatial Orientation, Navigation and Homing Behaviour in the Social Wasp Ropalidia marginata
(2018-05-23)For most of the animals, if not all, finding their way to a particular place is crucial for survival. To address this challenge of way-finding, different animals have evolved with different homing strategies. Social ... -

Finite Element Analysis of Optimal Control Problems Governed by Certain PDEs
The primary goal of this thesis is to study finite element based \textit{a priori} and \textit{a posteriori} error analysis of optimal control problems of various kinds governed by linear elliptic PDEs of second order. ... -
Finite Element And Experimental Studies On Fracture Behavior Of Bulk Metallic Glasses
(2011-01-19)The objective of this thesis is to study the fracture behavior of bulk metallic glasses. For this purpose, detailed finite element investigation of the mode I and mixed mode (I and II) stationary crack tip fields under ... -
A Finite Element Investigation Of Brittle Fracture During Spherical Nanoindentation Of Thin Hard Films
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-12-14)Hard ceramic films of micrometric thickness deposited on a soft metallic substrate have ushered in a new era in the fabrication of structural, tribological, microelectronic and optical components. The mechanical performance ... -
Finite Element Limit Analysis for Solving Different Axisymmetric Stability Problems in Geomechanics : Formulations and Solutions
(2017-11-15)Limit analysis is a very powerful tool to find accurate solutions of several geotechnical stability problems. This analysis is based on the theory of the plasticity and it provides two limiting solutions within lower and ... -
Finite Element Method based Model Order Reduction for Electromagnetics
Model order reduction (MOR) refers to the process of reducing the size of large scale discrete systems with the goal of capturing their behavior in a small and tractable model known as the reduced order model (ROM). ROMs ... -
Finite Element Modeling of Knee Joint to Study Tibio-Femoral Contact Machanics
(2018-05-10)Articular cartilage covers the articulating ends of diarthrodial joints. It plays a vital role in the function of the musculoskeletal system by allowing almost frictionless motion to occur between the articular surfaces ... -
FIR System Identification Using Higher Order Cumulants -A Generalized Approach
(Indian Institute of Science, 2010-01-12)The thesis presents algorithms based on a linear algebraic solution for the identification of the parameters of the FIR system using only higher order statistics when only the output of the system corrupted by additive ... -
Fire Ecology of a Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest in Southern India
(2017-10-26)Fire ecology encompasses the study of the factors, biotic and abiotic, that influence the occurrence of fire in an area, as well as the effects fire has on the flora and fauna native and non-native to the region (Whelan ... -
