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. ... -
Glycodelin A : An apoptogenic lipocalin:Molecular mechanism of immunosuppression by Glycodelin A
Glycodelin (previously known as placental protein 14, progestagen-associated endometrial protein, pregnancy-associated secreted endometrial ?2-globulin, etc.) is a 162 amino acid, glycosylated protein secreted mainly by ... -
Glycodelin-A As The Regulator Of CD8+ T-Lymphocyte Activity : Implications In Primate Pregnancy
(2015-01-02)The ability of our immune system to mount a response against non-self-antigens legitimates the semi-allogenic fetus as a target for maternal immune attack. Yet, in a normal pregnancy the fetus stays well protected due to ... -
Going Beyond Pairwise Relationships: Representation Learning on Simplicial Complexes
Relational data appear naturally in many real-world applications and can be modeled using mathematical structures known as graphs. Graphs model entities as nodes and their pairwise relations or interactions as edges. For ... -
Goldman Bracket : Center, Geometric Intersection Number & Length Equivalent Curves
(2017-11-30)Goldman [Gol86] introduced a Lie algebra structure on the free vector space generated by the free homotopy classes of oriented closed curves in any orientable surface F . This Lie bracket is known as the Goldman bracket ... -
gp120 Immunogen Design And Characterization
(2011-10-21)HIV-1 is the causative agent for AIDS and has been a major focus of research for the past two decades. Though there is a combination therapy in place known as the “Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy” (HAART), its ... -
A GPU Accelerated Tensor Spectral Method for Subspace Clustering
(2017-11-30)In this thesis we consider the problem of clustering the data lying in a union of subspaces using spectral methods. Though the data generated may have high dimensionality, in many of the applications, such as motion ... -
GPU-Accelerated Quantum Transport Solver to Explore 2D Material Space for Transistor Operation
For decades, silicon has been the mainstay of the semiconductor industry. However, to preserve the electrostatic integrity of MOSFETs (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors), technology downscaling necessitates ... -
GRACE-based Assessment of Climatic Controls on Hydrological Variables
Anthropogenic climate change is now well-established and is expected to have serious implications on Terrestrial Hydrologic cycle. This inspired scientific investigation to assess the impact of various climatic processes ... -
