Fracture Characteristics Of Self Consolidating Concrete
(2010-07-16)Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) has wide use for placement in congested reinforced concrete structures in recent years. SCC represents one of the most outstanding advances in concrete technology during the last two ... -
Fracture Energy And Process Zone In Plain Concrete Beams (An Experimental Study Including Acoustic Emission Technique)
(2013-05-20)Concrete, which was hitherto considered as a brittle material, has shown much better softening behavior after the post peak load than anticipated. This behavior of concrete did put the researchers in a quandary, whether ... -
Fracture Of Plain Concrete Beams Via Fractals
(2009-09-02)The quantitative description of rough fracture surfaces of concrete has been an important challenge for many years. Looking at the fracture surface of a concrete specimen, one realizes that the self-affine geometry of crack ... -
Fragile Interpretations and Interpretable models in NLP
Deploying deep learning models in critical areas where the cost of making a wrong decision leads to a substantial financial loss, like in the banking domain, or even loss of life, like in the medical field, is significantly ... -
A Framework for Effectiveness-based Sustainability Assessment in Manufacturing – A Product Life Cycle Approach
In recent decades, various human health impacts and environmental concerns (e.g., microplastic pollution, chemical exposure, biodiversity loss) associated with manufacturing/product life cycles have surfaced, threatening ... -
A framework for optimizing immunotherapy for long-term control of HIV
HIV infects around 1 million people every year. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is used to suppress viral replication and control disease progression but it cannot eradicate the virus. ART is therefore lifelong. Today, e ... -
A Framework for Privacy-Compliant Delivery Drones
We present Privaros, a framework to enforce privacy policies on drones. Privaros is designed for commercial delivery drones, such as the ones that will likely be used by Amazon Prime Air. Such drones visit a number of host ... -
A Framework to Measure the Socio-Economic Impact of Development Programs Using Malmquist Index
(2018-06-08)The main objective of this research is to evaluate the socio economic impact of the development programs like MGNREGA, JnNURM and development of Roads project, on the intended target area. The entire thesis can be divided ... -
Frequency Analysis of Floods - A Nanoparametric Approach
(2018-04-18)Floods cause widespread damage to property and life in different parts of the world. Hence there is a paramount need to develop effective methods for design flood estimation to alleviate risk associated with these extreme ... -
Frequency and Temperature Dependent Mechanical Behavior of Three-Dimensional Cellular Structures of Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes: Role of Microscopic Interfacial Interaction
Three dimensional (3D) cellular structures with high mechanical strength and stability are recently proven to provide a crucial platform for multifunctional application in various fields namely biomedical, soft robotics, ... -
Frequency and Time Domain Response Analysis of Transformer Winding for Indirect Measurement of Series Capacitance and Construction of Ladder Network Models
(2018-02-10)This thesis proposes innovative methods to extract information embedded in the frequency and time domain response of the transformer winding, and utilizes them to suggest solutions to a few tasks that have until now been ... -
Frequency Domain Photoacoustic Signal Analysis for Temperature Sensing
Monitoring temperature in biological tissue is vital for different therapy applications like photo-thermal therapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy, etc. Photoacoustic imaging has been used for volumetric temperature ... -
Frequency Perturbation In Non-Linear Paul Traps

Frequency Synthesis for Cognitive Radio Receivers and Other Wideband Applications
(2018-05-25)The radio frequency (RF) spectrum as a natural resource is severely under-utilized over time and space due to an inefficient licensing framework. As a result, in-creasing cellular and wireless network usage is placing ... -
Frequency-Tuning and Dynamic Simulation of Electrostatically Actuated Beams
(2018-01-03)The resonance frequency of electrostatically actuated micromachined beams can be tuned substantially by applying a DC voltage bias, first by decreasing the frequency until the onset of pull-in and then by increasing it by ... -
Frequent Episode Mining: Efficient Discovery Algorithms and Significance Analysis
Frequent Pattern mining is a popular area of data mining, where the goal is to unearth interesting patterns that occur often in a given data. A pattern is a local structure that captures correlations and dependencies present ... -
