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 ... -
Vinylanthracene and Triphenylamine Based Luminescent Molecular Systems : From Aggregation-Induced Emission to Explosive Detection
(2018-01-04)In the last few years, considerable efforts have been given to develop sensitive and effective sensors for explosive materials and to generate systems which exhibit high luminescence in both solution and solid-state. The ... -
Visual Flow Analysis and Saliency Prediction
(2017-12-16)Nowadays, we have millions of cameras in public places such as traffic junctions, railway stations etc., and capturing video data round the clock. This humongous data has resulted in an increased need for automation of ... -
Voltage Stability Analysis of Unbalanced Power Systems
(2018-02-07)The modern day power system is witnessing a tremendous change. There has been a rapid rise in the distributed generation, along with this the deregulation has resulted in a more complex system. The power demand is on a ... -
Wave Propagation in Sandwich Beam Structures with Novel Modeling Schemes
(2017-10-31)Sandwich constructions are the most commonly used structures in aircraft and navy industries, traditionally. These structures are made up of the face sheets and the core, where the face sheets will be taking the load and ... -
Whisker Growth from Electrodeposited Sn Coatings - Developing Materials Science and Mechanics Based Insights
(2018-05-23)Pure Sn and Sn-alloys are widely used in electrical and microelectronic devices as protective layer to prevent oxidation of Cu conductors and also as a component of Pb-free, Sn-based solders. Sn coatings, typically 0.5-10 ... -
Who Spoke What And Where? A Latent Variable Framework For Acoustic Scene Analysis
(2016-09-15)Speech is by far the most natural form of communication between human beings. It is intuitive, expressive and contains information at several cognitive levels. We as humans, are perceptive to several of these cognitive ... -
Wide-Band Radio-Frequency All-Pass Networks for Analog Signal Processing
(2018-01-10)There is an ever increasing demand for higher spectral usage in wireless communication, radar and imaging systems. Higher spectral efficiency can be achieved using components that are aware of system environment and adapt ... -
