Geometric and Topological Methods for Biomolecular Visualization
Biomolecules like proteins are the basic building blocks of living systems. It has been observed that the structure of a biomolecule plays an important role in defining its function. In this thesis, we describe novel ... -
A Geometric Approach for Discrete and Statistical Reach Analysis for a DHM with Mutable Supports
(2017-12-05)Conventional ergonomics analysis involves building physical mockups and conducting simulated operations, such that the constraints experienced by the human subjects can be directly observed. The limitations of this approach ... -
Geometric Calibration and Shape Refinement for 3D Reconstruction
This thesis is a contribution towards the methods of 3D reconstruction in computer vision. Most of the 3D reconstruction methods are based on either the principle of triangulation or the principle of photometry. In this ... -
A Geometric Framework For Vision Modeling In Digital Human Models Using 3D Tessellated Head Scans
(2011-08-25)The present work deals with the development of a computational geometric framework for vision modeling for performing visibility and legibility analyses in Digital Human Modeling (DHM) using the field-of-view (FoV), estimated ... -
Geometric invariants for a class of submodules of analytic Hilbert modules
Let $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb C^m$ be a bounded connected open set and $\mathcal H \subseteq \mathcal O(\Omega)$ be an analytic Hilbert module, i.e., the Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ possesses a reproducing kernel $K$, the ... -
Geometric Reasoning with Mesh-based Shape Representation in Product Development
(2017-10-09)Triangle meshes have become an increasingly popular shape representation. Given the ease of standardization it allows and the proliferation of devices (scanners, range images ) that capture and output shape information as ... -
Geometrical and Topological Properties of CMB Polarization Fields
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is a relic from the early Universe. It was generated due to the physical processes in the early Universe during an epoch known as the recombination or decoupling epoch. The CMB has highly ... -
Geometry of normed linear spaces in light of Birkhoff-James orthogonality
In this thesis, we have tried to understand the geometry of normed spaces in the light of Birkhoff-James orthogonality. Using the first two chapters to give introductory notes and to establish relevant notations and ... -
Geometry Optimization Of Axially Symmetric Ion Traps
(2009-05-13)This thesis presents numerical optimization of geometries of axially symmetric ion trap mass analyzers. The motivation for this thesis is two fold. First is to demonstrate how the automated scheme can be applied to achieve ... -
Geotechnical Behaviour Of Soil Containing Mixed Layered Illite-Smectite Contaminated With Caustic Alkali
(2008-01-29)The aim of the thesis has been to evaluate and understand the effect of caustic alkali solution of varying composition on the behaviour of expansive soil containing mixed layered minerals. Mixed layered minerals are formed ... -
Geotechnical Site Characterization And Liquefaction Evaluation Using Intelligent Models
(2009-12-09)Site characterization is an important task in Geotechnical Engineering. In situ tests based on standard penetration test (SPT), cone penetration test (CPT) and shear wave velocity survey are popular among geotechnical ... -
Germanosilicate Fibers And Bragg Gratings : Newer Efforts In Understanding Photosensitivity And Novel Methods For Strain-Temperature Discrimination
(2010-12-03)The different topics covered in this thesis include photosensitivity in germanosilicate fibers/glasses and application of fiber Bragg grating sensors in simultaneous strain and temperature discrimination. Fiber Bragg ... -
A Ghost Fluid Method for Modelling Liquid Jet Atomization
(2018-05-21)Liquid jet atomisation has a wide variety of application in areas such as injectors in automobile and launch vehicle combustors, spray painting, ink jet printing etc. Understanding physical mechanisms involved in the primary ... -
Glassy Dynamics in Active Matter
There has been much interest in the glassy dynamics of living systems at the scales of subcellular structures, cells and tissues. This has motivated theoretical studies on the approach to glassy behaviour in dense systems ... -
Global and combined global-local response sensitivity analyses of uncertain structures based on model distance measures
The work reported in this thesis is in the area of global response sensitivity analysis (GRSA) of engineering systems in which the uncertainties associated with external actions and/or system parameters need to be explicitly ... -
Global control of mechanics on Riemannian manifolds, and applications to under-actuated aerial vehicles
We consider the problem of designing trajectory tracking feedback control laws for La- grangian mechanical systems in a Riemannian geometric framework. Classical nonlinear control techniques that rely on Euclidean ... -
Global gyrokinetic simulations of electrostatic microturbulent transport in LHD stellarator and ADITYA-U tokamak
Tokamak and stellarator are two leading contenders in the quest to achieve nuclear fusion from magnetically-confined plasmas. They differ in terms of magnetic field structure in the toroidal direction. Irrespective of the ... -
Global TNCs And Local SMEs In Bangalore: Subcontracting, Innovation And Economic Performance
(2010-08-23)Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are one of the principal driving forces in the development of an economy because of its significant contribution in terms of number of enterprises, employment, output and exports in most ...
