Geotechnical Site Characterization And Liquefaction Evaluation Using Intelligent Models
(2009-12-09)Site characterization is an important task in Geotechnical Engineering. In situ tests based on standard penetration test (SPT), cone penetration test (CPT) and shear wave velocity survey are popular among geotechnical ... -
Geothermal energy utilisation by cascaded model application: a techno-economic analysis-with particular reference to puga.
In any calculation of the world energy resources, the finiteness of fossil fuel resources set the limits. Most authorities are agreed that by the turn of the century there could be a rapidly developing shortfall in the ... -
Germanosilicate Fibers And Bragg Gratings : Newer Efforts In Understanding Photosensitivity And Novel Methods For Strain-Temperature Discrimination
(2010-12-03)The different topics covered in this thesis include photosensitivity in germanosilicate fibers/glasses and application of fiber Bragg grating sensors in simultaneous strain and temperature discrimination. Fiber Bragg ... -
A Ghost Fluid Method for Modelling Liquid Jet Atomization
(2018-05-21)Liquid jet atomisation has a wide variety of application in areas such as injectors in automobile and launch vehicle combustors, spray painting, ink jet printing etc. Understanding physical mechanisms involved in the primary ... -
Glassy Dynamics in Active Matter
There has been much interest in the glassy dynamics of living systems at the scales of subcellular structures, cells and tissues. This has motivated theoretical studies on the approach to glassy behaviour in dense systems ... -
Global and combined global-local response sensitivity analyses of uncertain structures based on model distance measures
The work reported in this thesis is in the area of global response sensitivity analysis (GRSA) of engineering systems in which the uncertainties associated with external actions and/or system parameters need to be explicitly ... -
Global control of mechanics on Riemannian manifolds, and applications to under-actuated aerial vehicles
We consider the problem of designing trajectory tracking feedback control laws for La- grangian mechanical systems in a Riemannian geometric framework. Classical nonlinear control techniques that rely on Euclidean ... -
Global gyrokinetic simulations of electrostatic microturbulent transport in LHD stellarator and ADITYA-U tokamak
Tokamak and stellarator are two leading contenders in the quest to achieve nuclear fusion from magnetically-confined plasmas. They differ in terms of magnetic field structure in the toroidal direction. Irrespective of the ... -
Global Methods for Camera Motion Estimation
This thesis is a contribution towards the problem of Structure-from-Motion (SfM), which has been of interest to the 3D computer vision community for many decades. Structure-from-Motion falls under the class of 3D reconstruction ... -
Global response sensitivity and reliability analyses of structural dynamical systems with parameter and excitation uncertainties
This thesis develops computational methods for global response sensitivity analysis (GRSA) and time-variant reliability analysis in structural dynamical systems with parameter and excitation uncertainties. The primary ... -
Global Retrieval of Aerosol Absorption Using Multi-Satellite Retrieval: Algorithm Development And Performance Evaluation
Aerosol absorption, quantified by single scattering albedo (SSA), is an important parameter for assessing the climatic impact of aerosols. While there are several satellites providing aerosol optical depth (AOD), the ... -
Global TNCs And Local SMEs In Bangalore: Subcontracting, Innovation And Economic Performance
(2010-08-23)Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are one of the principal driving forces in the development of an economy because of its significant contribution in terms of number of enterprises, employment, output and exports in most ... -
Global virtual teams : a capability centric model - degree of virtualness in capabilities and predictors
In recent years, globalization has undergone a significant transformation, evolving from the traditional movement of trade and capital to the dynamic exchange of labor and knowledge. This shift has been driven by cost and ... -
Glowworm Swarm Optimization : A Multimodal Function Optimization Paradigm With Applications To Multiple Signal Source Localization Tasks
(2009-05-05)Multimodal function optimization generally focuses on algorithms to find either a local optimum or the global optimum while avoiding local optima. However, there is another class of optimization problems which have the ... -
Glucose and Lipid Metabolism during Pregnancy and Lactation in Rats : Role of Undercarboxylated Osteocalcin
(2018-02-07)Energy homeostasis is an important physiological mechanism essential for balancingenergy flow through the living systems by managing overall metabolism in the body. Thus, energy homeostasis is under a tight control by means ... -
Glycobiological Regulation of Breast Cancer Invasion
Invasiveness of cancer is the predominant reason behind mortality associated with the disease. Although long under active investigation, fundamental aspects of the early steps of cancer invasion and metastasis are still ... -
Glycodelin A : A Novel Immunoregulatory Lectin Of The Female Reproductive Tract : Molecular Mechanism Of GdA-Induced Apoptosis In Activated T Cells
(2010-08-06)Glycodelin is a 162 amino acid secreted glycoprotein classified as a member of the lipocalin (carriers of small hydrophobic molecules) superfamily based on the presence of lipocalin signature motifs in its primary sequence. ...
