Foaming of Surface Waterbodies: A Comprehensive Study on Causes, Persistence, Seasonality, and Mitigation Strategies
Foaming waterbodies have emerged as a significant global concern due to their adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems, offensive odour emissions, disruption of daily activities in nearby areas, and visual unpleasantness. ... -
Folding Studies On Peanut Agglutinin : A Lectin With An Unusual Quaternary Structure
(2009-03-04)The thesis entitled “Folding studies on Peanut Agglutinin: A lectin with an unusual quaternary structure” deals with the several aspects of the folding of the tetrameric legume lectin Peanut Agglutinin ... -
Food and Nutritional Status: Overall Assessment and COVID-19 Studies
Malnutrition remains a global health concern, especially in India with high child mortality rates. While some studies examine nutrient inadequacy in a child’s diets, a lack of comprehensive assessment of underlying ecosystem ... -
For Queen and Country : Reproductive and Non-Reproductive Division of Labour in the Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Cyathiformis
(2018-07-05)Division of labour is a hallmark of eusocial insects and is believed to be a major factor in their evolutionary success and ecological dominance. Division of labour can be of two kinds – reproductive division of labour ... -
Foraging Decisions of the Lesser False Vampire Bat, Megaderma Spasma in a Heterogeneous Landscape
Predators make various foraging decisions at different spatial and temporal scales. Such decisions can be studied at two levels: patch decisions at the landscape level, and prey decisions at the foraging patch level. In ... -
Force and Shape Estimation using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors for Assistance in Minimally Invasive Diagnostic and Surgical Procedures
Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors have become increasingly popular for applications in biomedical engineering. Amongst these, use of FBGs in ‘smart instruments’ for minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical procedures ... -
Force Measurements On Rigid And Flexible Oscillating Foils
(2013-10-04)In the present work, we experimentally study thrust generation from sinusoidally pitched rigid and flexible foils immersed in a uniform flow. The flexible foils are made by attaching a flexible flap of known flexural ... -
Force-Amplifying Compliant Mechanisms For Micromachined Resonant Accelerometers
(2013-04-04)This thesis work provides an insight into the design of Force-amplifying Compliant Mechanisms (FaCMs) that are integrated with micromachined resonant accelerometers to increase their sensitivity. An FaCM, by mechanically ... -
Foreign colloboration in Indian Industry an economic analysis
Based on the findings of the study, an evaluation of the current foreign collaboration policy of the Indian government and recommendations for optimisation of results from such policies is attempted in this chapter. (i) ... -
Formal Models for Code Generation and Code Compression
We propose formal models for the problems of target code generation and compression of tree intermediate code. For the first problem, we adapt an existing model to work for prefix linearizations of intermediate tree code. ... -
A Formal Proof of Feit-Higman Theorem in Agda
(2018-02-18)In this thesis we present a formalization of the combinatorial part of the proof of Feit-Higman theorem on generalized polygons. Generalised polygons are abstract geometric structures that generalize ordinary polygons and ... -
Formal tools for specification-driven protocol design of distributed computing systems
The widespread use of Distributed Computing Systems (DCSs) is due to the advantages of better performance, improved reliability, efficient resource sharing and easy upgradability. In order to realize the advantages of a ... -
Formal Verification Of Analog And Mixed Signal Designs Using Simulation Traces
(2011-07-08)The conventional approach to validate the analog and mixed signal designs utilizes extensive SPICE-level simulations. The main challenge in this approach is to know when all important corner cases have been simulated. An ... -
The Formation and Evolution of Bars, and Its Impact on Galaxy Dynamics
In this thesis we have studied bar formation and evolution using N-body simulations. We have focused on the effect of bulge mass and concentration on bar formation and evolution, and derived a new bar formation criterion. ... -
Formation and Maintenance of the Southern Bay of Bengal Cold Pool
(2018-06-11)Around Sri Lanka and to the south of India sea surface temperatures (SST) are cooler compared to the surrounding region during summer monsoon. This region where SSTs are relatively cooler is known as the cold pool. Owing ... -
Formation Mechanism, Structure and Optical properties of Functional Nanoparticle Assemblies
Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) concentrate light near their surface because of localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR). LSPRs depend on MNP morphology, composition, size, and the metal–dielectric interface. LSPRs are further ... -
