Glowworm Swarm Optimization : A Multimodal Function Optimization Paradigm With Applications To Multiple Signal Source Localization Tasks
(2009-05-05)Multimodal function optimization generally focuses on algorithms to find either a local optimum or the global optimum while avoiding local optima. However, there is another class of optimization problems which have the ... -
Glucose and Lipid Metabolism during Pregnancy and Lactation in Rats : Role of Undercarboxylated Osteocalcin
(2018-02-07)Energy homeostasis is an important physiological mechanism essential for balancingenergy flow through the living systems by managing overall metabolism in the body. Thus, energy homeostasis is under a tight control by means ... -
Glycobiological Regulation of Breast Cancer Invasion
Invasiveness of cancer is the predominant reason behind mortality associated with the disease. Although long under active investigation, fundamental aspects of the early steps of cancer invasion and metastasis are still ... -
Glycodelin A : A Novel Immunoregulatory Lectin Of The Female Reproductive Tract : Molecular Mechanism Of GdA-Induced Apoptosis In Activated T Cells
(2010-08-06)Glycodelin is a 162 amino acid secreted glycoprotein classified as a member of the lipocalin (carriers of small hydrophobic molecules) superfamily based on the presence of lipocalin signature motifs in its primary sequence. ... -
Glycodelin-A As The Regulator Of CD8+ T-Lymphocyte Activity : Implications In Primate Pregnancy
(2015-01-02)The ability of our immune system to mount a response against non-self-antigens legitimates the semi-allogenic fetus as a target for maternal immune attack. Yet, in a normal pregnancy the fetus stays well protected due to ... -
Goldman Bracket : Center, Geometric Intersection Number & Length Equivalent Curves
(2017-11-30)Goldman [Gol86] introduced a Lie algebra structure on the free vector space generated by the free homotopy classes of oriented closed curves in any orientable surface F . This Lie bracket is known as the Goldman bracket ... -
gp120 Immunogen Design And Characterization
(2011-10-21)HIV-1 is the causative agent for AIDS and has been a major focus of research for the past two decades. Though there is a combination therapy in place known as the “Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy” (HAART), its ... -
A GPU Accelerated Tensor Spectral Method for Subspace Clustering
(2017-11-30)In this thesis we consider the problem of clustering the data lying in a union of subspaces using spectral methods. Though the data generated may have high dimensionality, in many of the applications, such as motion ... -
GRACE-based Assessment of Climatic Controls on Hydrological Variables
Anthropogenic climate change is now well-established and is expected to have serious implications on Terrestrial Hydrologic cycle. This inspired scientific investigation to assess the impact of various climatic processes ... -
Grain Boundary Processes In High Temperature Densification And Deformation Of Nanocrystalline Zirconia
(2011-02-08)Grain boundary processes play a major role in controlling different rate processes in yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia. The present study concentrated on rate processes in tetragonal zirconia, which were significantly ... -
Granular Media Supported Microbial Remediation of Nitrate Contaminated Drinking Water
(2018-01-11)Increasing nitrate concentration in ground water from improper disposal of sewage and excessive use of fertilizers is deleterious to human health as ingestion of nitrate contaminated water can cause methaemoglobinemia in ... -
Graph Clustering Approaches for Speaker Diarization of Conversational Speech
In this era of advanced machine intelligence, real-world speech applications need to be equipped to deal with conversations involving multiple speakers. An essential first step in speech information extraction from ... -
Graph Models For Query Focused Text Summarization And Assessment Of Machine Translation Using Stopwords
(2014-04-09)Text summarization is the task of generating a shortened version of the original text where core ideas of the original text are retained. In this work, we focus on query focused summarization. The task is to generate the ... -
Graph Neural Networks with Parallel Local Neighborhood Aggregations
Graph neural networks (GNNs) have become very popular for processing and analyzing graph-structured data in the last few years. Using message passing as their basic building blocks that aggregate information from neighborhoods, ... -
