Fluctuation Driven Collective Phenomena in Electron Doped Quantum Paraelectric: KTaO3
The study of quantum phase transitions, in which a system undergoes a change in its ground state and physical properties due to quantum fluctuations at absolute zero temperature, stands as one of the most celebrated themes ... -
Fluctuations in quantum transport in topological insulators
Topological insulators (TIs) belong to a new class of materials characterized by linear surface states, which emerge in the bulk band gap due to non-trivial topology of the band structure. These surface states have various ... -
Fluid Flow And Electrochemical Bias Induced Effects In Carbon Nanotubes And Raman Studies On Iron Perovskites
(2011-09-30)This thesis is divided into two parts; the first part presents results on the effect of the flow of fluids and electrochemical bias on single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). Issues pertaining to the entry of water into the ... -
Fluid-Elastic Interactions in Flutter And Flapping Wing Propulsion
(2017-10-06)This study seeks to understand the interplay of vorticity and elasto-dynamics that forms the basis for a fluttering flag and flapping wing propulsion, and factors that distinguish one from the other. The fluid dynamics is ... -
Fluid-rock interactions in the high-grade terrain of south India: a mineralogic and thermodynamic study
The formation of major rock types in the Kerala high-grade terrains, northern Tamil Nadu, and southern Karnataka Precambrian shield has been studied thermodynamically by focusing on: a) characterization of the fluid phase ... -
Fluoranthene-Based Materials for Non-Doped Blue Organic Light-Emitting Diodes
(2018-05-16)The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology is emerging to be the future technology of choice for thin, flexible and efficient display and lighting panels and is a potential competitor for the existing flat panel ... -
Fluorescence of Manganese in mixed sulphate glasses and Crystalline medium.
The observed fluorescence decay of Mn²? in potassium sulphate–zinc sulphate glass is of single exponential at low (3 mole %) and high concentrations (12 mole %) of manganese. At higher concentrations of manganese, concentration ... -
Fluorescence-detected Multidimensional Electronic Spectroscopy (fMES) with a Visible White-light Continuum: New Experimental Approaches and Vibronic Exciton Models
Multidimensional Electronic Spectroscopy (MDES) represents the state-of-the-art optical spectroscopy method within the umbrella of time-resolved four-wavemixing techniques. MDES works by resolving the femtosecond quantum ... -
Flurorescence investigation of biological systems. the alamethicin transmembrane channel and model systems
Fluorescence is a technique that has been extensively utilized in the study of systems of biological relevance due to the longevity of the excited states of many molecules, which allows for a variety of physical and chemical ... -
Flutter Identification and Aeroelastic Stability during Wake Penetration
Demonstration of utter stability over the design envelope and identi fication of safe ight envelope is a prerequisite for operational clearance of any new aircraft design. An important step involved in flight flutter ... -
Flutter Susceptibility Assessment of Airplanes in Sub-critical Regime using Ameliorated Flutter Margin and Neural Network Based Methods
(2018-02-17)As flight flutter testing on an airplane progresses to high dynamic pressures and high Mach number region, it becomes very difficult for engineers to predict the level of the remaining stability in a flutter-prone mode and ... -
Flux Rate Controlled Harmonic Filtering of Integrated Magnetic-Based Isolated-Inverter Topologies and Dynamically Variable Inductors
An intermediate filtering stage is mandatory to deliver smooth sinusoidal output voltage across the load. Several multilevel and modular multilevel-based inverter topologies are reported in the literature to reduce the ... -
FMCW Radar Systems for Indoor Biomedical Applications: Hardware, Software, and Techniques
The growing global demand for unobtrusive, non-contact health monitoring systems, driven by aging populations and the increasing prevalence of neurological disorders, underscores the urgent need for innovative sensing ... -
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 ...
