Fast, Scalable, Contention-Based Algorithms for Multi-Node Selection in OFDMA and Cooperative Wireless Systems
(2018-04-23)Opportunistic selection algorithms have grown in importance as next generation wireless systems strive towards higher data rates and spectral efficiencies. For example, in orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA), ... -
Fate and Remediation of Ammonium-n In Pit Toilet Blackwater
Pit toilets satisfy the sanitation requirement in regions with no access to piped sewerage facilities. Black water discharged from pit toilets is a major source of groundwater pollution. The primary focus of the thesis is ... -
The fate of phase transitions in VO2 on doping
Ever since its discovery more than six decades ago, thermally-induced insulator-metal transition (IMT) in vanadium dioxide (VO2) has attracted much attention, not only because of its near-room temperature IMT at ~340 K, ... -
Fatigue Crack Growth in Roller-Rocker and Rocker Bearings of Railway Steel Bridges
Indian Railways comprise a major part of the infrastructure in India. Most of the transportation of raw materials, goods, and people from different parts of the country is done by the railways. To cope with the ever-increasing ... -
Fatigue Damage Characterization Of Carbon/Epoxy Laminates Under Spectrum Loading
(2013-10-04)Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites are extensively used in aircraft structures because of its high specific stiffness, high specific strength and tailorability. Though Fibre Reinforced Polymers offer many advantages, they ... -
Fatty Acid And Triacylglycerol Synthesis In Developing Seeds Of Groundnut (Arachis Hypogaea) And Pisa (Actinodaphne Hookeri)
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-18)The term "lipid" covers an extremely diverse range of chemical or molecular species. Lipids, defined as molecules that are sparingly soluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents, are broadly categorized into ... -
Fault Creation, Detection and Classification Systems for Modern Power Grids
The power grid is changing with the exponentially growing penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs). Keeping the power grid stable, reliable, and secure, and delivering quality power has become increasingly important ... -
Fault Location in Double Wye Shunt Capacitor Banks
Shunt capacitor banks (SCBs) are usually used for providing reactive power support to power systems. Reactive power support leads to power factor correction, voltage regulation and reduction of network losses. Outage of ... -
Fault tolerance in feedforward neural networks using minimax optimization
Neural computing is currently being proposed as a viable solution to several problems. The approach of neural computing is to capture the guiding principles that underlie the functioning of the human brain and apply them ... -
Fault tolerant locking for shared disk filesystems
Shared disk files ystems are crucial for providing direct, shared and high performance file system access on top of raw block based Storage Area Networks. One of the key components of a shared disk file system is a ... -
Fault tolerant trasputer based firmware for parallel solution of partial differntial equations by the boundry element method
This work presents a fault-tolerant multi-transputer architecture capable of handling single-node failures without interrupting program execution. The system dynamically reconfigures the interconnections among transputers ... -
Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms for reconfiguration of rings using management tokens
In this thesis, we propose two algorithms using slightly different approaches to detect failures in a ring, and to reconfigure the ring using a combination of multithreading and management tokens which circulate around the ... -
A Feasibility Map-Based Framework and Its Implementation for Selection in Engineering Design
(2018-06-26)A pragmatic method for selecting components and devices from a database or parameterized models is developed in this thesis. The quantitative framework presented here is sufficiently general to accommodate an entire device ... -
Feasible and Intrinsic Kinetoelastostatic Maps for Compliant Mechanisms
(2018-03-06)Despite many advances in the design methods for compliant mechanisms, it is still not possible to know if a set of user-specifications has a solution. Furthermore, practical considerations such as failure limits and ... -
Feasible Path Prescription for Engineering Systems in a High-Index Constrained Dynamics Framework
Constrained dynamic performance and control models of complex engineering systems can be represented in the form of a Differential Algebraic Equation (DAE) system. The high-index of this DAE system poses computational ... -
Feature Adaptation Algorithms for Reinforcement Learning with Applications to Wireless Sensor Networks And Road Traffic Control
(2017-09-20)Many sequential decision making problems under uncertainty arising in engineering, science and economics are often modelled as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). In the setting of MDPs, the goal is to and a state dependent ... -
Feature Selection under Multicollinearity & Causal Inference on Time Series
(2018-08-20)In this work, we study and extend algorithms for Sparse Regression and Causal Inference problems. Both the problems are fundamental in the area of Data Science. The goal of regression problem is to nd out the \best" ... -
Feature Tracking and Visual Analysis of Temporal Scalar Fields in the Ocean
The Bay of Bengal (BoB) has maintained its salinity distribution over the years despite a continuous flow of fresh water entering it through rivers on the northern coast, which can dilute its salinity. This can be ...
