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 ... -
Liquefaction Resistance and Cyclic Response of Air - Injected Desaturated Clean Sandy Soil: Experimental and Numerical Investigations
Liquefaction has been one of the major concerns in the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering. Various mitigation techniques such as vibroflotation, deep dynamic compaction, explosive compaction, grouting, deep soil ... -
Liquid bridge breakup and detachment dynamics investigated using dynamic domain multiphase flow simulations
Liquid bridges, formed between two solid surfaces in close proximity are encountered in a variety of engineering and daily life applications. The dynamics of a liquid bridge including its evolution that typically involves ... -
Liquid Jet in Swirling Cross Flow
Liquid jets in cross flows (JICF) have been an important part of spray research in the last few decades owing to the wide spectrum of applications ranging from agricultural sprays to aircraft gas turbine engines. However, ... -
Liquid jet injection into a supersonic crossflow: Influence of jet orifice shape on penetration and atomization
Liquid jet injection into supersonic crossflow is one of the conceptually simple ways of fuel atomization in SCRAMJET engines. The success of these engines demands the efficient mixing of incoming supersonic air and the ... -
Lithium Exposure Induced Changes At Glutamatergic Synapses In Hippocampal Neurons- Insights From In Vitro Electrophysiology And Imaging Studies
(2016-11-15)Lithium is a drug used to treat mood disorders and also has many side effects, including central nervous system (CNS) complications (such as cognitive dulling), associated with its use. The mechanism of its action still ... -
Living on the Edge A Study of Boundary Modes In Two-dimensional Topological Systems
In the last few decades an enormous amount of research has been carried out on some novel phases of matter called topological phases which are beyond the paradigm of Landau’s theory of symmetry breaking. One of the ... -
Load Commutated SCR Current Source Inverter Fed Induction Motor Drive With Sinusoidal Motor Voltage And Current
(2010-07-12)This thesis deals with modeling, simulation and implementation of Load Commutated SCR based current source Inverter (LCI) fed squirrel cage induction motor drive with sinusoidal voltage and sinusoidal current. In the ... -
Load Modulated Arrays for Multi-antenna Wireless Communications
Conventional multi-antenna transmitters use a separate RF chain (consisting of DACs, mixers, filters) and a power amplifier (PA) for each antenna element, and use modulation alphabets such as QAM/PSK for transmission. The ... -
Local Interactions, Spatial Patterns and Ecosystem Stability
Many ecosystems exhibit striking patterns in the spatial distribution of organisms, for example, patterns of clumping and dispersion in semi-arid vegetation, mussel in intertidal beds and even sea-grass and macroalgae. ... -
Local Projection Stabilization Methods for the Oseen Problem
Finite element approximation of fluid flow problems with dominant convection exhibit spurious oscillations. To eliminate these nonphysical oscillations one needs to incorporate stabilizations that can curb the effect of ... -
Local Structural Investigations of Composition-driven Changes in Inorganic Solid Solutions
A smaller sized dopant replacing a larger sized element in a compound creates chemical pressure, resulting in a contraction of the lattice parameter and likewise a “negative” pressure is created by substitution of larger ... -
Local Structure-Property Relationship in Some Selected Solid State Materials
(2018-08-09)The thesis entitled “Local structure-property relationship in some selected Solid State Materials” mainly focuses on two fundamental topics: (a) evaluation of some standard global structural concepts in terms of local ... -
Localization Induced Base Isolation In Fractionally And Hysteretically Damped Nonlinear Systems
(2009-08-04)This Thesis comprises of two parts containing similar studies of Nonlinear Localization induced Base Isolation of structural systems. The present method of base isolation,like other nonlinear vibration isolation methods, ... -
Locally Reconstructable Non-malleable Secret Sharing
Non-malleable secret sharing (NMSS) schemes, introduced by Goyal and Kumar (STOC 2018), ensure that a secret m can be distributed into shares m1,...,mn (for some n), such that any t (a parameter <= n) shares can be ... -
Long-Running Multi-Component Climate Applications On Grids
(2013-10-04)Climate science or climatology is the scientific study of the earth’s climate, where climate is the term representing weather conditions averaged over a period of time. Climate models are mathematical models used to ... -
Longitudinal Acceleration-based Variable Speed Bio-inspired Guidance Law
Most analyses of existing interceptor guidance laws assume the interceptor speed to be constant, which simplifies mathematical analysis and enhances predictability in interception characteristics. In reality, this is not ... -
