Improved Generative Models for Zero-shot object recognition
Recognizing objects from their images automatically using computers is an important research area in the computer vision community. In this scenario, the testing images are automatically classified into one of the classes ... -
Improved GMM-Based Classification Of Music Instrument Sounds
(2009-03-19)This thesis concerns with the recognition of music instruments from isolated notes. Music instrument recognition is a relatively nascent problem fast gaining importance not only because of the academic value the problem ... -
Improved laboratory and computational models for thermal core–mantle interaction
The Earth's magnetic field is generated by thermochemical convection within its fluid outer core. The near-stationary high-latitude magnetic flux concentrations in the present day field indicate that convective ... -
An Improved Lower Bound for Depth four Arithmetic Circuits
(2018-05-29)We study the problem of proving lower bounds for depth four arithmetic circuits. Depth four circuits have been receiving much attraction when it comes to recent circuit lower bound results, as a result of the series of ... -
An Improved Lower Bound for Multi-r-ic Depth Four Circuits as a Function of the Number of Input Variables
In this work we study the multi-r-ic formula model introduced by [KS15c] and improve upon the lower bound for multi-r-ic depth four circuits given in [KST16b], when viewed as a function of the number of input variables ... -
Improved Methods for Filtration, Drainage and Structural Evaluations With and Without Geocomposites for Subsurface Drainage of Pavements
Pavements are continuously exposed to the environment leading to ingress of water from multiple sources that structurally weakens the pavement materials. The conventional solution for drainage requires granular material ... -
Improved Numerical And Numeric-Analytic Schemes In Nonlinear Dynamics And Systems With Finite Rotations
(2010-04-13)This thesis deals with different computational techniques related to some classes of nonlinear response regimes of engineering interest. The work is mainly divided into two parts. In the first part different numeric-analytic ... -
Improved Solution Techniques For Trajectory Optimization With Application To A RLV-Demonstrator Mission
(2009-03-12)Solutions to trajectory optimization problems are carried out by the direct and indirect methods. Under broad heading of these methods, numerous algorithms such as collocation, direct, indirect and multiple shooting methods ... -
Improved Theory of Clathrate Hydrates
(2018-07-30)The current theoretical understanding of thermodynamics of clathrate hydrates is based on the van der Waals and Plattew (vdWP) theory developed using statistical thermodynamics approach. vdWP theory has been widely used ... -
Improved Understanding of Standing Waves in Single Layer Coils and Elegant Methods to Estimate Transformer Winding Parameters
Analyzing the effect of impulse voltages (like lightning, switching) on transformer winding has occupied centerstage in core electrical engineering research for over a century. These investigations gather great significance ... -
Improvement of High Temperature Oxidation Behavior of ‘w’ Free Y strengthened Co-based Superalloys through Alloying Addition
The discovery of coherent g-g’ microstructure in Co-Al-W and Co-Al-Mo-Nb/Ta systems represents new possibilities for turbine engines materials. Their chemical and mechanical properties are similar to commercially successful ... -
Improvement of High Temperature Strength of Al and Co Alloy by L12 Type Coherent Precipitates
The present work aims at developing a new class of high temperature alloys based on ordered intermetallic compound that forms coherently with the matrix during solid state transformation. The chosen intermetallics have ... -
Improvement Of Piston Ring Quality : A Case Study
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-02-21)Automobiles have become an integral part of our daily life as more and more mopeds, motor cycles, cars, trucks, busses and trains are being used for transport. The main parts of an automotive engine are cylinder, piston ... -
Improving Data Center Utilisation by Reducing Fragmentation
Virtualization enables better server consolidation and utilisation compared to stand-alone servers running a single workload. This enabled wide-spread cloud adoption among many organizations. Data center utilisation is ... -
Improving Glioblastoma Management: A Study of Biomarkers, Tumor Microenvironment and Chemoresistance
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive form of adult brain tumors. The current standard of care includes maximal safe resection followed by concurrent chemo-radiation therapy and adjuvant chemotherapy with temozolomide. ... -
Improving Healing Outcomes in Diabetic Wounds by Understanding and Modulating Immune Responses
Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs) are chronic wounds that show delayed or absence of healing in individuals with diabetes. Currently, diabetic wounds are managed clinically through regular debridement, pressure off-loading, ... -
Improving High Temperature Strength of 2219 Al Alloy by Minor Alloying Additions
(2018-06-25)Among Al alloys, 2219 Al alloy possesses highest strength at elevated temperatures. However, the application of this alloy is also restricted to a maximum temperature of 150°C, above which, the strengthening precipitates ... -
Improving Last-Level Cache Performance in Single and Multi-Core Processsors
