Intraseasonal Variations In Sea Level Pressure And Association With Tropical Convection
(2010-07-19)This thesis deals with tropical intraseasonal variation (TISV) having time scales in 20-80 day range. Variations on this time scale have been observed to have profound influence on the weather and climate of the entire ... -
Intrasexual competition in females of a socially polygynous lizard, Psammophilus dorsalis
Competition between individuals of the same sex, intrasexual competition, has received much attention in males, mainly because such competition, which is primarily for mates (i.e. sexual selection), often selects for ... -
Intrinsic Noise in Collective Dynamics
Animal groups exhibit many emergent properties that are a consequence of local interactions. Linking individual-level behaviour to group-level dynamics has been a question of fundamental interest from both biological and ... -
Intrinsic Versus Induced Variations In DNA Structure
(2011-07-18)The binding of different proteins involved in processes such as transcription, replication and chromatin compaction to regions of the genome is regulated by the structure of DNA. Thus, DNA structure acts as the crucial ... -
An Introduction to Minimal Surfaces
(2017-12-10)In the first chapter of this report, our aim is to introduce harmonic maps between Riemann surfaces using the Energy integral of a map. Once we have the desired prerequisites, we move on to show how to continuously deform ... -
Intrusion Identification For Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(2010-08-16)A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANETs) is a collection of wireless hosts that can be rapidly deployed as a multi hop packet radio network without the aid of any established infrastructure or centralized administration. Such ... -
Inverse Material Design using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks and Ontology
Materials design is the process of tailoring materials with specific properties and performance characteristics to meet the particular needs of an application. It involves going back on the process-structure-property (PSP) ... -
Inverse Problems in 3D Full-wave Electromagnetics
An inverse problem in Electromagnetics (EM) refers to the process of reconstructing the physical system by processing the measured data of its electromagnetic properties. Inverse problems are typically ill-posed, and this ... -
Inverse Problems in Free Vibration Analysis of Rotating and Non-Rotating Beams and its Application to Random Eigenvalue Characterization
(2018-02-19)Rotating and non-rotating beams are widely used to model important engineering struc-tures. Hence, the vibration analyses of these beams are an important problem from a structural dynamics point of view. Depending on the ... -
Inverse problems solution using spectral finite element methods
Inverse problems are very challenging as these problems involve, finding the cause by analyzing the effects. In structural dynamics problems, the effects are normally measured in terms of dynamic responses in structures. ... -
Inverse Sensitivity Methods In Linear Structural Damage Detection Using Vibration Data
(2009-06-29)The thesis addresses the problem of structural damage detection using inverse sensitivity based methods. The focus here is on characterization with regard to identification, location, and, quantification of structural ... -
Invertase in a thermophilic fungus, thermomyces lanuginosus: its unusual behaviour And regulation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-25)The understanding of the phenomenon of thermophily requires investigations of both thermophilic prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In the eukaryotes, thermophily is exhibited only by a few species of fungi which can grow up to ... -
Investigating and Modelling the Microscopic Pedestrian Behavioral Dynamics in Mass Religious Gatherings
Pedestrian models that can realistically reproduce observed pedestrian movement dynamics are crucial in facility planning and pre-event planning of crowded situations. Despite the elaborate arrangements, crowd disasters ... -
Investigating DNA structural basis for fragility during chromosomal translocations associated with human B-cell lymphomas
Genome integrity is essential for normal cellular functions. Erroneous repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) could lead to chromosomal rearrangements, including chromosomal translocations that may result in altered ... -
Investigating Instability Mitigation through Flame Oscillator Synchronization
Stringent emission regulations for reducing NOx and soot emissions are driving gas turbine combustors manufacturers to adopt lean premixed combustion technology. However, the rich dynamics of turbulent, lean premixed ... -
Investigating Mechanical Properties of Suspended Ovarian Cancer Cells and Clusters
The peritoneal cavity of a patient suffering from advanced epithelial ovarian cancer is filled with disseminated multicellular aggregates, commonly known as spheroids. These spheroids colonize abdominal organs leading to ... -
Investigating mechanisms underlying astrocytic involvement in depressive-like behavior and antidepressant action
Major Depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex, multifactorial psychiatric illness which affects over 20% of the population worldwide. Despite its prevalence, our understanding of its pathophysiology is severely limited, ... -
Investigating Membrane Dynamics And Oligomerization Of Pore-forming Toxins Using Single-molecule Fluorescence Techniques
The biological membrane is a thin fluidic matrix composed of a lipid bilayer that forms the primary cellular barrier against the extracellular environment. The high-density of embedded proteins and glycosylated molecules ... -
Investigating Neural Mechanisms of Word Learning and Speech Perception
Language learning and speech perception are remarkable feats performed by the human brain, involving complex neural mechanisms that allow us to understand and communicate with one another. Unravelling the mysteries of these ...
