Applications of Magnetic Helical Nanomotors: From Cancer Biology to Dentistry
Micron/nano sized machines promise precise targeting and drug-delivery at hard to reach places inside the human body. There have been tremendous efforts in this direction and various remotely powered artificial nanomachines ... -
Applications of Moonshine Symmetry in String Theory
In this thesis we study the applications of Mathieu moonshine symmetry to compacti cations of supersymmetric string theories. These theories are compacti ed on a 6 dimensional manifold K3 T2. The main ingredient in ... -
Applications Of Multiple Quantum Methods In NMR For Determination Of Dipolar Couplings And Chiral Discrimination
(2013-02-20)This thesis is about excitation, detection, properties and applications of multiple quantum coherences applied to different dipolar coupled spin systems. Major focus of the work is on spectral simplification, measurement ... -
Applications Of Social Network Analysis To Community Dynamics
(2010-08-24)This thesis concerns Social Network Analysis as a mechanism for exploring Community Dynamics. To be able to use the Social Network methodologies, relationships existing between the modeling entities are required. In this ... -
An Approach Towards Inactivation of Susceptible and Antibiotic Resistant Bacterial Contamination using Novel Photo–(electro)-catalysts
Water in most rivers in India does not meet the standards for drinking and even for bathing purposes due to the high concentration of coliforms, organic and inorganic contaminants. Overuse, uncontrolled release and careless ... -
Approaches to Regional Analysis of Hydro-Meteorological Processes and Extremes
Regional analysis of hydrometeorological variables (e.g., evapotranspiration, precipitation), hydrological processes (e.g., runoff), and their extremes (e.g., drought, floods) is essential for various applications. The ... -
Approximate Dynamic Programming and Reinforcement Learning - Algorithms, Analysis and an Application
(2018-08-13)Problems involving optimal sequential making in uncertain dynamic systems arise in domains such as engineering, science and economics. Such problems can often be cast in the framework of Markov Decision Process (MDP). ... -
Approximate Nearest Neighbour Field Computation and Applications
(2018-05-09)Approximate Nearest-Neighbour Field (ANNF\ maps between two related images are commonly used by computer vision and graphics community for image editing, completion, retargetting and denoising. In this work we generalize ... -
Approximation Algorithms for Geometric Packing and Covering Problems
We study a host of geometric optimization problems that are NP-hard and design polynomial time approximation algorithms for them. More precisely, we are given a family of geometric objects and a point set, mostly in the ... -
Approximation Algorithms for Geometric Packing Problems
We study approximation algorithms for the geometric bin packing problem and its variants. In the two-dimensional geometric bin packing problem (2D GBP), we are given n rectangular items and we have to compute an axis-parallel ... -
Aqueous and Non- aqueous dispersions of MoS2 Nanosheets
The focus of this thesis is an attempt to provide a molecular perspective of the interactions of solvent and ligand molecules with sonication assisted exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets in aqueous and non-aqueous dispersions. In ... -
Aqueous and Non-aqueous Dispersions of Graphene and Boron Nitride Nanosheets : NMR Measurements and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Preface Ever since the discovery of graphene in 2004, there has been considerable interest in two dimensional (2D) nanomaterials due to their distinctive properties and the prospect of potential applications. A ... -
Aqueous Binary Mixtures: A Study Using NMR Measurements and ab initio Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Binary mixtures having a combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups, such as waterdimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), water-methanol, water-ethanol, water-tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA), water dioxane, and water-glycerol, ... -
Aqueous Dispersions of Graphene Oxide, Reduced Graphene Oxide and Functionalized Graphene Oxide
(2018-01-29)Graphene sheets, one atom thick, two dimensional layers of carbon atoms, have gained enormous importance over the past few years due to their unique attributes - high electronic, thermal conductivities and exceptional ... -
Aqueous Phase Oxidation Of Sulfur Dioxide In Stirred Slurry Reactors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-18)Air pollution by sulfur dioxide is of great concern due to its harmful effects on environment, human beings, fauna and flora. Fossil-fuel-fired power plants are one of the major sources of SO2 emissions. Typically the ... -
Arabian Sea High Salinity Core in the Bay of Bengal
The Summer Monsoon Current (SMC) advects high salinity water from the Arabian Sea into the Bay of Bengal (BoB) during the summer monsoon. This high salinity water subducts and enters the BoB as a subsurface high salinity ... -
Arabidopsis Serine/Threonine/Tyrosine Protein Kinase : Implications in Growth And DEvelopment
(2018-07-19)Protein phosphorylation is a key cellular regulatory mechanism. Phosphorylation can either activate or inhibit the function of a particular protein. Activation of protein kinases has been implicated in response to light, ... -
An arbitrary lagrangian eulerian volume of fluid method for floating body dynamics simulation
The floating body dynamics is treated as a Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problem. A FSI problem is where the forces from the fluid move/deform the interacting structure, and the movement of the structure, in turn, ... -
