First-principles based study of graphene inserted tellurene-metal interface
Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted extensive research interest since the journey started with the successful isolation of graphene in 2004. 2D materials have shown remarkable advancement in the ... -
First-Principles Studies of Point Defects and Phase Transformations in Materials
(2018-01-18)The functional and mechanical properties of a material are often determined by the defects in them. A thorough understanding of the relationship between the defects and the properties allows for tailoring a material’s ... -
First-Spike-Latency Codes : Significance, Relation to Neuronal Network Structure and Application to Physiological Recordings
(2018-04-12)Over the last decade advances in multineuron simultaneous recording techniques have produced huge amounts of data. This has led to the investigation of probable temporal relationships between spike times of neurons as ... -
Flame Particle Tracking Analysis of Turbulence-Premixed Flame Interaction
This work describes the computational and theoretical developments made in the understanding of turbulence-premixed flame interaction, using both lean and rich H2-air mixtures, in a flow field of near-isotropic turbulence. ... -
Flavivirus RNA replication: Probe development, structural dynamics, and role of zinc ions.
Flaviviruses share a typical genome architecture where the highly conserved UTRs flank a central coding region. They also share a common genome replication strategy called genome cyclization where the UTRs interact to form ... -
Flavor and Dark Matter Issues in Supersymmetric Models
(2018-04-06)The Standard Model of particle physics attempts to unify the fundamental forces in the Universe (except gravity). Over the years it has been tested in numerous experiments. While these experimental results strengthen our ... -
Flexible Constraint Length Viterbi Decoders On Large Wire-area Interconnection Topologies
(2010-12-30)To achieve the goal of efficient ”anytime, anywhere” communication, it is essential to develop mobile devices which can efficiently support multiple wireless communication standards. Also, in order to efficiently accommodate ... -
Flexible Nanostructured Hydrogen Sensors
Hydrogen is rapidly emerging as a key energy carrier and industrial feedstock in the global transition to cleaner energy systems. However, due to its high diffusivity and flammability, even minor leaks can result in ... -
FLIPP-NAAT: A paper-based LAMP assay for point-of-care TB detection
Molecular diagnostic techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revolutionized the world of healthcare. Instead of waiting for infectious agents to physically grow as in conventional culture-based tests, genetic ... -
Flocks, Flow and Fluctuations in Inanimate Matter : Simulations and Theory
In this thesis we study a novel soft-matter system that imitates motility. Our system consists of a few asymmetrically tapered brass rods and aluminium beads which are confined between two vertically shaking plates. The ... -
Flood Risk Assessment in Peninsular India: Integrating Data, Multivariate Statistics, and Machine Learning
Floods are among the most significant natural hazards in India; however, their drivers, spatial coherence, and potential impacts remain poorly understood, particularly in data-scarce catchments. This thesis addresses these ... -
Flow Acoustic Analysis Of Complex Muffler Configurations
(2013-06-21)A theoretical study has been carried out on different methods available to analyze complex mufflers. Segmentation methods have been discussed in detail. The latest two port segmentation method has been discussed and employed ... -
Flow and Forces on Rigid and Flexible Plates in Unsteady Rotational Motion
The swimming motion of fishes have long fascinated scientists and engineers. Over the past few decades, researchers have studied physical models mimicking the tail beat of fishes in an effort to extract key physical ... -
Flow and structure of dense granular materials
Granular materials are frequently encountered in our daily lives and are widely processed forms of matter in various industries. Despite decades of research, the mechanical behavior of granular materials is not well ... -
Flow and Windage Heating in Labyrinth Seals
(2017-11-24)The ability to quantify leakage flow and windage heating for labyrinth seals with honeycomb lands is critical in understanding gas turbine engine system performance and predicting its component lifes. Variety of labyrinth ... -
