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 ... -

Formation of Porous Metallic Nanostructures Electrocatalytic Studies on Self-Assembled Au@Pt Nanoparticulate Films, and SERS Activity of Inkjet Printed Silver Substrates
(2018-04-24)Porous, conductive metallic nanostructures are required in several fields, such as energy conversion, low-cost sensors etc. This thesis reports on the development of an electrocatalytically active and conductive membrane ... -
Formulation of A Framework for Needs Analysis and Stakeholders' Behavioral Simulation for Design for the BOP
Poverty, and associated undesirability, distinguishes a population as Base of the (economic) Pyramid (BoP). Lack of necessities and vulnerability negatively affect the well-being of BoP populations. Literature reveals ... -
Formulations for solving geomechanics stability problems using stress characteristics and finite element limit analysis with power type and Mohr-Coulomb yield criteria
In geotechnical engineering, the stability analysis is often carried out to determine the ultimate collapse load that a geo-structure can possibly withstand. The accurate prediction of the exact collapse load is often very ... -
Fourier Analysis And Allied Methods In Problems Of Scattering And Radiation Of Water Waves
(2012-05-31)As has been discussed in the previous section, the growth of various methods (analytical methods like Green's function technique, application of Green's integral theorem, application of Fourier analysis—both Fourier transform ... -
Fourier Analysis On Number Fields And The Global Zeta Functions
(2014-08-04)The study of zeta functions is one of the primary aspects of modern number theory. Hecke was the first to prove that the Dedekind zeta function of any algebraic number field has an analytic continuation over the whole plane ... -
Fourier coeffcients of modular forms and mass of pullbacks of Saito–Kurokawa lifts
In the first part of the talk we would discuss a topic about the Fourier coefficients of modular forms. Namely, we would focus on the question of distinguishing two modular forms by certain ‘arithmetically interesting’ ... -
Fractal encoding for inpainting and secure image sharing
Fractal Encoding for Inpainting and Secure Image Sharing This thesis is an investigation to explore two new applications of fractal encoding: 1) secure image sharing and 2) image inpainting. Fractal encoding is a lossy ...
