Intermolecular Interactions In Molecular Crystals : Quantitative Estimates From Experimental And Theoretical Charge Densities
(2011-10-03)The thesis entitled “Intermolecular Interactions in Molecular Crystals: Quantitative Estimates from Experimental and Theoretical Charge Densities” consists of four chapters and an Appendix. Chapter 1 highlights the principles ... -
Internal Boiling to Flame Flickering: Insights into Various Spatio-temporal Dynamics of Nanofuel Droplet Combustion
Addition of metal and metalloid particles (micron and sub-micron) to conventional fuels like Jet-A has been a ‘liquid-fuel extender’ technique i.e. increased specific energy for less amount of liquid fuels. One of the main ... -
Internal resonances and nonlinearities in atomically thin resonators
The advent of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and atomically thin membranes such as Graphene and layered transition metal chalcogenides (TMDs) have spurred research in the area of Nanoelectromechanical Systems (NEMS) due to their ... -
Internal Structure and Self-Assembly of Low Dimensional Materials
(2018-05-01)The properties of bulk 3D materials of metals or semiconductors are manifested with various length scales(e.g., Bohr excitonic radius, magnetic correlation length, mean free path etc.) and are important in controlling their ... -
Internationalization of SMEs : Analysis of Antecedents, Strategies, and International Performance in the Indian Context
(2018-05-29)Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) occupy a place of strategic importance in most of the developed and emerging economies. This is primarily because they contribute significantly to employment, GDP, exports and wealth ... -
INTERPIN: identifying INtrinsic transcription TERminators, hairPINs in bacteria
The conversion of DNA to RNA through transcription is an important step in the life cycle of every organism. It ensures that the genetic information in DNA is converted through RNA into instructions/blueprints for the ... -
Interplay between the Mechanics of Flexible Substrates and Performance of Thin Film Transistors: Role of Buckled Geometry
Buckled Thin Film Transistor (TFT) resulting from the stress induced instability of thin films realized on a exible substrate can behave di erently than that of a planar device. The aim of this thesis is twofold: To ... -
Interplay of disorder and superconductivity in ultra-thin Sn films
This thesis reports low-temperature, in-situ transport measurements on quench-condensed ultra-thin films of Sn. Film thicknesses are < 100 Å. These films exhibit an insulator-to-superconductor transition. Novel effects are ... -
Interplay of Electrons and Phonons in 2D Materials
Since the seminal study by Cao et al. in 2018, that revealed the emergence of superconductivity and correlated insulating behaviour in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), there has been a surge of exciting discoveries in moiré ... -
Interplay of Interaction and Topology From Topological Band Theory to Topological Field Theory
Classification of phases of matter has long been a central point of interest in the research community in condensed matter physics. Over the past several decades mainly two kinds of classification schemes have emerged, ... -
Interplay of Performance and Robustness in Architected and Naturally Evolved Structures
Humans have long drawn inspiration from nature, drawing on its intricate and efficient designs for solving complex engineering challenges. One such feature is the aperiodicity observed in biological systems, which exhibit ... -
Interpolation of Digital Elevation Models using Generative Adversarial Networks
A digital elevation model (DEM) is a three-dimensional representation of elevation data of a terrain such as a terrestrial terrain acquired by a reconnaissance aircraft or a lunar terrain acquired using a Chandrayaan rover. ... -
Interpretation of 2-Dimensional NMR spectra of small molecules
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has had an enormous effect in numerous areas of chemistry, biology, and medicine. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy is a unique analytical technique that permits ... -
Intersection Graphs Of Boxes And Cubes
(2011-01-25)A graph Gis said to be an intersection graph of sets from a family of sets if there exists a function ƒ : V(G)→ such that for u,v V(G), (u,v) E(G) ƒ (u) ƒ (v) ≠ . Interval graphs are thus the intersection graphs ... -
Intersection Planning in Multilane Aerial Corridors for UAVs
Humans have always been on a quest to improve the means of transportation. The evolution will inevitably lead towards autonomy in the operations of aerial and ground vehicles. As for the Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), ... -
Intra- and inter-cellular drivers of Epithelial-Mesenchymal heterogeneity in cancer cells
Phenotypic heterogeneity is a fundamental feature reported across prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. This heterogeneity enables an isogenic cell population to be composed of distinct subpopulations with varying functional ... -
Intracellular Calcium Dynamics In Dendrites Of Hippocampal Neurons Rendered Epileptic And In Processes Of Astrocytes Following Glutamate Pretreatment
(2009-04-03)The fundamental attribute of neurons is their cellular electrical excitability, which is based on the expression of a plethora of ligand- and voltage-gated membrane channels that give rise to prominent membrane currents ... -
Intraseasonal Variability in Aquaplanet Configuration of Community Atmosphere Model
The Intraseasonal Oscillation (ISO) plays an important role to modulate deep convective activity in the tropical region. In this thesis, I aim to understand the role of land and warm oceans in ISO, using a general ... -
Intraseasonal Variability Of The Equatorial Indian Ocean Circulation
(Indian Institute Of Science, 2004-10)Climatological winds over the equatorial Indian Ocean (EqlO) are westerly most of the year. Twice a year, in April-May ("spring") and October-December ("fall"), strong, sustained westerly winds generate eastward equatorial ...
