Light-sheet Lithography for Generating Micro/Nano-Structures
Over the past few decades, the study of field distribution at the geometrical focus of a lens (PSF) has gained a huge research interest in field ranging from Nanolithography to microscopy. The central theme of this thesis ... -
Lightning Protection System To Indian Satellite Launch Pads : Stroke Classification And Evaluation Of Current In The Intercepted Strokes
(2009-03-11)Satellites have become absolute necessity in the growing modern space technology. At present, launch pads are the only means for launching of satellites or any other space vehicles. Due to the large magnitude of current ... -
Lightning Shielding Failure Analysis of Ultra High Voltage Power Transmission Lines
(2018-08-14)In India, the natural energy resources (thermal and hydro) are unevenly distributed and are mostly present in the remote areas and the load centers are distributed across various regions of the country. Therefore high ... -
Lightning Threat to Cables on Tall Towers and the Question of Electrical Isolation
(2018-04-23)Electromagnetic effects of lightning currents during a direct hit to tall communication towers, other instrumented towers and chimneys can be hazardous to associated cables, as well as, electrical and electronics systems. ... -
Lignin and Extractive Tracing - an Alternative approach to Assess and Predict Biogas Yields and Production Rates among Tropical Biomass Feedstocks
Predicting biogas yields from the composition of biomass feedstocks has been difficult primarily due to the variations found in their chemical composition and structure of lignocellulosics. This study aims at understanding, ... -
Lineage delimitation and diversification in Nyctibatrachus, an endemic frog genus from the Western Ghats
Determining how biodiversity is produced and maintained remains one of the fundamental questions in ecology. The phenomenon of diversification, which occurs via the interplay of speciation and extinction, holds the key ... -
Linear and Nonlinear Ultrafast Time Resolved Spectroscopy of Topological Insulators, Weyl Semimetals and Semiconducting Nanowires
Ultrafast time resolved spectroscopy has recently gained immense significance due to its potential capability to explore the dynamics of photoexcited carriers in condensed matter systems. The technique has proved to be a ... -

Linear Instability Of Laterally Strained Constant Pressure Boundary Layer Flows
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-03-26)The linear instability of laterally diverging/converging flows is an important aspect towards understanding the laminar-transition process in many viscous flows. In this work the linear instability of constant pressure ... -
Linear Nanopositioning Systems for Scanning Probe Microscopy
Scanning probe microscopes (SPM) are vital for visualizing and characterizing samples of interest to various fields with nanometer resolution, such as semiconductor fabrication, microbiology, and material engineering. The ... -
Linear Network Coding For Wireline And Wireless Networks
(2010-02-10)Network Coding is a technique which looks beyond traditional store-and-forward approach followed by routers and switches in communication networks, and as an extension introduces maps termed as ‘local encoding kernels’ and ... -
Linear Stability Models for Reacting Mixing Layers
(2018-03-12)We develop a physics-based reduced-order model of the aero-acoustic sound sources in reacting mixing layers as a method for fast and accurate predictions of the radiated sound. Instabilities in low-speed mixing layers are ... -
Lip Y, The PE Family Triacylglycerol Hydrolase From Mycobacterium Tuberculosis : Functional Role Of The PE Domain And Immunogenicity
(2010-10-28)More human lives have been lost to tuberculosis than to any other disease and despite the availability of effective short course chemotherapy (DOTS) as well as the Bacilli Calmette Guerin (BCG) vaccine, tuberculosis continues ... -
