On The Effect Of Material Uncertainty And Matrix Cracks On Smart Composite Plate
(2017-02-22)Recent developments show the applications of smart structure in different engineering fields. Smart structures can be used for shape and vibration control, structural health monitoring etc. Smart materials can be integrated ... -
On the electrical transport of weak topological insulators and Weyl semimetals
Topological insulators have garnered enormous amount of attention owing to their unique topological properties. The surface states protected by the topology of the system hold limitless potentials including topological ... -
On the Factors Influencing the Stability of Phases in the Multiferroic System BiFeO3-PbTiO3
(2018-08-11)Rhombohedral perovskite BiFeO3 is a single phase multiferroic compound exhibiting both magnetic (Neel temperature ~370˚C) and ferroelectric (Curie point ~840˚C) ordering well above the room temperature. Ferroelectricity ... -
On The Fourier Transform Approach To Quantum Error Control
(2013-10-07)Quantum mechanics is the physics of the very small. Quantum computers are devices that utilize the power of quantum mechanics for their computational primitives. Associated to each quantum system is an abstract space known ... -
On the Geometry and Operator Theory of the Bidisc and the Symmetrized Bidisc
This work is concerned with the geometric and operator theoretic aspects of the bidisc and the symmetrized bidisc. First we have focused on the geometry of these two do- mains. The symmetrized bidisc, a non-homogeneous ... -
On The Issues Of Supporting On-Demand Streaming Application Over Peer-to-Peer Networks
(2009-06-17)Bandwidth and resource constraints at the server side is a limitation for deployment of streaming media applications. Resource constraints at the server side often leads to saturation of resources during sudden increase ... -
On the Kobayashi geometry of domains
In this thesis we study questions broadly related to the Kobayashi (pseudo)distance and (pseudo)metric on domains in ℂn. Specifically, we study the following subjects: Estimates for holomorphic images of subsets in convex ... -
On The Magnetic And Magnetotransport Studies Of Cobaltates And Superconductor/ Ferromagnet Heterostructures
(2011-06-30)The study of the co-existence of singlet superconductivity and ferromagnetism in bulk materials has been a long standing and intriguing problem in condensed matter physics since the superconductivity and ferromagnetism are ... -
On the Nature Of Propagating MHD Waves In The Solar Atmosphere
(2014-10-15)One of the most persistent problem in solar physics is the identification of the mechanism that heats the solar corona and accelerates the fast solar wind. Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD)waves play a crucial role in heating of ... -
On the Optimality of Generative Adversarial Networks — A Variational Perspective
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a popular learning framework to model the underlying distribution of images. GANs comprise a min-max game between the generator and the discriminator. While the generator transforms ... -
On the Origin of Parasitic (Electro)Chemistry in Rechargeable Aprotic Metal-Oxygen Batteries
Aprotic metal-oxygen batteries, especially Li-O2 and Na-O2 batteries, could afford theoretical specific energies in excess of 1000 Wh/kg. However, the practical realization of the theoretically possible high specific ... -
On The Peak-To-Average-Power-Ratio Of Affine Linear Codes
(2008-01-25)Employing an error control code is one of the techniques to reduce the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing system; a well known class of such codes being the cosets of ... -
On The Reduction Of Drag Of a Sphere By Natural Ventilation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-08)The problem of bluff body flows and the drag associated with them has been the subject of numerous investigations in the literature. In the two-dimensional case, the flow past a circular cylinder has been most widely studied ... -
On the Round Complexity Landscape of Secure Multi-party Computation
In secure multi-party computation (MPC), n parties wish to jointly perform a computation on their private inputs in a secure way, so that no adversary corrupting a subset of the parties can learn more information than their ... -
On the spatial extent of extreme rainfall events over India during the summer monsoon
The spatial extent of extreme rainfall events directly affects the damages caused and impacts of such events. However, it has been less explored in the literature. This thesis examines extreme rainfall events of different ... -
On the spatio-temporal distribution of stable isotope ratios in the hydrological cycle over India and the Southern Ocean
The isotopic composition of water vapor and precipitation at continental and oceanic sites depends on factors such as: the geographical location of the sampling site, meteorological conditions at the moisture source ... -
On the Stability of Certain Riemannian Functionals
(2018-03-06)Given a compact smooth manifold Mn without boundary and n ≥ 3, the Lp-norm of the curvature tensor, defines a Riemannian functional on the space of Riemannian metrics with unit volume M1. Consider ...
