Influence of surface topography on wear and debris morphology of polymers
The artificial knee and hip joints comprise a polymer-metal tribological system where soft polymers slide against hard metallic surfaces. When a polymer slides on it, the micro hard asperities remove the polymers in the ... -
Influence of Tgf-B on Mechanobiology of Human Breast Cancer Cells
Breast cancers are characterized by extensive modifications to mechanical properties of the tissue via increased ECM production and vascularization. TGF-B is a multi-functional cytokine that is implicated in cancer invasion ... -
Influence Of The Bite Angles Of Chelating Diphosphine Ligands In The Chemistry Of Ruthenium Hydride And Dihydrogen Complexes
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-22)The bite angle of a diphosphine ligand plays an important role in determining the reactivity of a transition metal complex. The coordinated dihydrogen on a transition metal center can be activated toward homolysis or ... -
Influence of the substrate specificity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ClpX on the transcriptional profile
Cellular homeostasis in bacteria is maintained by diverse molecular machines. These include several one-component systems (OCS), two- component systems (TCS), chaperone proteins, proteases, proteolytic complexes and ... -
Influence of Western Ghats Orography on Temporal and Spatial Distribution of Rainfall over South Asia
The Western Ghats (WG) orography that runs along the western coast of peninsular India, is a long and narrow mountain chain with an average height of about 1200 meters. The orientation of this orography is approximately ... -
Information Extraction and Mapping for Populating Ontologies in Product Lifecycle Management
Computer-based tools used to manage a product's lifecycle from the cradle to the grave need to share product information across phases. If this information is well structured, accessing, and manipulating such information ... -
Information Rates over Point-to-Point and Multi-user Wireless Channels with Energy and Delay Constraints
In this thesis, we consider communication systems having energy, delay and reliability constraints. We characterize optimal communication rates achievable over these systems. First we consider point-to-point communication ... -
Information Theoretic Approach To Extractive Text Summarization
(2009-04-13)Automatic text summarization techniques, which can reduce a source text to a summary text by content generalization or selection have assumed signifi- cance in recent times due to the ever expanding information explosion ... -
Information-rich Sampling of Time-varying Signals
Confrontation with signal non-stationarity is a rule rather than an exception in the analysis of natural signals, such as speech, animal vocalization, music, bio-medical, atmospheric, ans seismic signals. Interestingly, ... -
Infrared interaction in surface modified thin film of carbon nanotubes
In the entire study carried out in this thesis work, it has been established that, interfacial interaction of MWCNTs with functional materials like QDs, semiconducting NPs and metal NPs is beneficial towards improving ... -
InGaN Based 2D, 1D and 0D Heterostructures on Si(111) by Plasma Assisted Molecular Beam Epitaxy
The present research work focuses on the growth and characterization of group III-Nitride (InGaN) epitaxial layers as well as nanostructures on Si(111) substrates. The growth system used in this study was a plasma-assisted ... -
Initiation of protein synthesis : Role of the three consecutive GC base pairs in the anticodon stem of initiator tRNAs
The presence of the three consecutive GC base pairs in the anticodon stems of the initiator tRNAs (3GC base pairs) are a highly conserved and a vital feature of the initiator tRNAs in all the domains of life. How this ... -
Inkjet-Printed Ag Nanomaterials based Strain Sensors for Wearable Sensing Applications
Of late, the demand of wearable sensors has exponentially risen. For example, strain sensors that can be worn and are skin mountable play a significant role in the areas of human motion detection, healthcare, soft robotics, ... -
Inkjet-Printed Co-continuous Mesoporous Oxides for Surface Dominated Functional Devices
Over the last few decades, printed and flexible electronics have emerged as a major area of research, which may cater multiple domains of application requirements for the forthcoming industrial revolution. The solution ... -
Inkjet-printed high performance oxide electronics and its application at sensor interfaces
Over the last two decades, printing of oxide semiconductors has received special attention due to its advantages such as low processing temperature, even at room temperature; high electron mobility; good transparency due ... -
Innovative Optimal Guidance of Spacecrafts for Soft-Landing on Atmosphere-less Celestial Bodies
Nonlinear trajectory optimization based optimal guidance schemes are presented in this thesis for soft-landing of spacecrafts on atmosphere-less celestial bodies. First, a pseudo-spectral philosophy based multi-phase ... -
Insight into luteolytic effects of repeated administration of LH in pregnant rats: Analysis of cAMP/PKA pathway during LH-induced luteolysis
The Corpus luteum (CL) is a dynamic endocrine structure that develops in the ovary from the remnants of the ovulated follicle and plays a critical role in the control of estrous/menstrual cycle as well as in establishment ... -
