Toward Computationally Efficient Models for Near-infrared and Photoacoustic Tomographic Imaging
(2017-11-28)Near Infrared (NIR) and Photoacoustic (PA) Imaging are promising imaging modalities that provides functional information of the soft biological tissues in-vivo, with applica-tions in breast and brain tissue imaging. These ... -
Towards a Unified Framework for Design of MEMS based VLSI Systems
(2018-02-12)Current day VLSI systems have started seeing increasing percentages of multiple energy domain components being integrated into the mainstream. Energy domains such as mechanical, optical, fluidic etc. have become all pervasive ... -
Towards Automated Design of Toggle Switch Mechanisms
(2017-09-20)This work deals with addressing the issues related to design of double toggle switch mechanisms with emphasis on structural, dimensional and dynamic aspects. Currently, almost all the issues related to electrical switches ... -
Towards Designing PCM-Conscious Database Systems
Phase Change Memory (PCM) is a recently developed non-volatile memory technology that is expected to provide an attractive combination of the best features of conventional disks (persistence, capacity) and of DRAM (access ... -
Triarylborane Functionalized Dicyanovinyl and Acetylacetone Based Molecular Platforms : Building Blocks for Multiple Anion Sensors and Efficient Phosphorescence Emitters
(2018-02-20)Triarylborane Functionalized Dicyanovinyl and Acetylacetone Based Molecular Platforms: Building Blocks for Multiple Anion Sensors and Efficient Phosphorescence Emitters The main objective of this thesis is to design a ... -
Turbulence in Soft Walled Micro Channels
(2017-12-07)In comparison to the flow in a rigid channel, there is a multi-fold reduction in the transition Reynolds number for the flow in a micro channel when one of the walls is made sufficiently soft, due to a dynamical instability ... -
Ultra Cold Fermions : Dimensional Crossovers, Synthetic Gauge Fields and Synthetic Dimensions
(2018-02-06)Ultracold atomic systems have provided an ideal platform to study the physics of strongly interacting many body systems in an unprecedentedly controlled and clean environment. And, since fermions are the building blocks ... -
Uncertainty Based Damage Identification and Prediction of Long-Time Deformation in Concrete Structures
(2018-02-20)Uncertainties are present in the inverse analysis of damage identification with respect to the given measurements, mainly the modelling uncertainties and the measurement uncertainties. Modelling uncertainties occur due to ... -
Uncovering the Role of Mitochondrial Co-chaperones and Artificial Antioxidants in Cellular Redox Homeostasis
(2018-02-14)The role of mitochondria is multidimensional and ranges in vast areas, including apoptosis, cellular response towards stress, metabolism, which is regulated by a plethora of proteins, acting together to maintain cellular ... -
Understanding Functions for Fission Yeast Pre-mRNA Splicing Factors SpPrp18 and SpSlu7 in Constitutive and Alternative Splicing
(2017-11-29)Exonic sequences of eukaryotic genes are interspersed with introns which when accurately removed from the primary transcript (pre-mRNA) results in a functional transcript. These splicing reactions are carried out by the ... -
Unique Response and the Survival Mechanism of Mycobacterial Subpopulations against Oxidative and Nitrite Stress
(2017-12-03)Mycobacterial populations are known for the heterogeneity in terms of cell size, morphology, and metabolic status, which are believed to help the population survive under stress conditions. Such population heterogeneity ... -
Unravelling the Mechanism of Bactericidal/Permeability-Increasing Protein Expression during Bacterial Pathogenesis
(2018-02-21)Anti-microbial proteins (AMP) are the key effector arm of the innate immune system. The prevalence of AMP in single-celled eukaryotes to humans shows its importance during the course of evolution. The first report for the ... -
Unsteady Two Dimensional Jet with Flexible Flaps at the Exit
(2017-11-13)The present thesis involves the study of introducing passive exit flexibility in a two dimensional starting jet. This is relevant to various biological flows like propulsion of aquatic creatures (jellyfish, squid etc.) and ... -
Variants of Hegselmann-Krause Model
(2017-12-04)The Hegselmann-Krause system (HK system for short) is one of the most popular models for the dynamics of opinion formation in multi agent systems. Agents are modeled as points in opinion space, and at every time step, each ... -
Vertical Structure of Convective Clouds Using the TRMM PR Data
Very small fractional area (0.1%) occupied by the cumulonimbus (Cb) clouds belies their importance in Earths hydrological cycle and climate. For example, Riehl and Malkus (1958) estimated that the vertical transport of ... -
Vibrational Energy Harvesting : Design, Performance and Scaling Analysis
(2018-07-12)Low-power requirements of contemporary sensing technology attract research on alternate power sources that can replace batteries. Energy harvesters function as power sources for sensors and other low-power devices by ... -
