Structure property correlation studies on Ca-modified Ba(Ti, Zr/Sn)O3 piezoceramics
In this thesis we have investigated the structure, property correlation of the lead-free piezoelectric ceramic of (Ba,Ca) (Ti,Zr/Sn)O3 system. A self-consistent set of experimental techniques such as X-ray powder diffraction, ... -
Structure-Property Correlation in Binary Immiscible Polymer Blends Compatibilized by Mutually Miscible Homopolymer and Carbonaceous Nanoparticles
The thesis systematically studies the various morphology, mechanical properties, crystallization kinetics and compatibilization effects of homopolymers, carbonaceous nanoparticles such as multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), ... -
Structured Regularization Through Convex Relaxations Of Discrete Penalties
Motivation. Empirical risk minimization(ERM) is a popular framework for learning predictive models from data, which has been used in various domains such as computer vision, text processing, bioinformatics, neuro-biology, ... -
Studies in Strongly Correlated Systems: From Ultracold Superfluids to Strange Metals
Almost all the technology that we use today depends on our ability to control and exploit the properties of many electron phases. These phases are primarily made up of non-interacting fermions embodied in a metal or a ... -
Studies of "clean" and "disordered" Bilayer Optical Lattice Systems Circumventing the 'fermionic Cooling-problem'
(2018-09-04)The advancement in the eld of cold-atoms has generated a lot of interest in the condensed matter community. Cold-atom experiments can simulate clean, disor-der/impurity free systems very easily. In these systems, we have ... -
Studies on differentiation of mouse GS-2 ES-cells to pancreatic β-islet-like cells and their functional maturation status
Embryonic stem cells (ES-cells) are an excellent source for generating insulin-producing β-islet cells for potential use in the management of diabetes mellitus. Although many protocols have been developed to promote the ... -
Studies on Fracture in Ductile Bulk Metallic Glasses
Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) possess very attractive mechanical properties like high yield strength (~ 2 GPa), high elastic strain limit (2 %), and good corrosion resistance. BMGs display fracture toughness values (in mode ... -
Studies on Friction Stir Welding of Aluminium AA2024 Alloy to Pure Copper
Aluminium-copper joints are widely used in electrical applications due to their unique properties. However, joining of these metals by conventional welding techniques is restricted due to the formation of brittle (bulk ... -
Studies on inflammatory responses: Roles of Interferon-gamma in macrophage activation and Nitric oxide synthase 2 during Salmonella Typhimurium infection-induced sepsis
Inflammation is a complex set of immune responses that is critical for survival during injury or infection. It is also crucial for maintenance of tissue homeostasis under myriad conditions caused by cellular stress and ... -
Studies on Internal Reforming Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
Renewable energy becomes inevitable for future energy needs. Accordingly, researchers are exploring possible alternatives to conventional fuel based internal combustion engines. In recent years, Bio-fuel (methane/ethanol) ... -
Studies on Non-Destructive Evaluation of Friction Stir Weld Discontinuities with Probability of Detection
Friction stir welding(FSW) is a solid-state metal joining process which is currently being considered for joining of aerospace components. The zones associated with FSW are distinctly different from the fusion weld and ... -
Studies on Nudix hydrolase proteins and crosstalk between DNA repair pathways
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, has become a global health concern. This calls for a dire need to understand various aspects of mycobacterial physiology in order to design better strategies ... -
Study of a Self-assembling Polypeptide Nanotube: Structure, Dynamics and Applications in Cancer and Tissue engineering
This thesis contains five chapters addressing the characterization and applications of a self-assembled polypeptide nanotube. It starts with an introduction to protein-based self-assembly and RGD-based targeted approaches ... -
Study of Composition & Performance of Global IT Project Teams : An Analysis of Cross-Sectional, Longitudinal & Exceptional Performances
Virtual project teams, with their members distributed across onshore-nearshore-offshore locations, have been primary units of delivery for Global IT industry. While the industry has increasingly evolved towards increased ... -
A Study of Photophysics and Photochemistry of I-III-VI2 Nanocrystals
This thesis, entitled “A Study of Photophysics and Photochemistry of I-III-VI2 Nanocrystals” primarily deals with the properties of I-III-VI2 semiconductor nanocrystals composed of earth abundant, environmentally benign ... -
Study of Solvent Induced Crystal Polymorphism via Molecular Simulations of Crystal Nucleation
The ability of a compound to exist in different crystal structures is called crystal polymorphism and such crystals of varied spatial arrangement are called polymorphs. The polymorphic forms can differ in their properties ... -
A Study of Some Conformal Metrics and Invariants on Planar Domains
The main aim of this thesis is to explain the behaviour of some conformal metrics and invariants near a smooth boundary point of a domain in the complex plane. We will be interested in the invariants associated to the ... -
Study of Thermoelectric Transport Properties of Doped and Vacancy Induced BiCuSeO
About 70% of the heat generated for energy production is wasted and thermoelectric generators can capture this waste heat and convert it into useful electricity. The stability at high temperature in the ambient atmosphere ... -
