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 ... -
On the Structure and Propagation of Premixed Flames in Turbulence
Turbulence interacts with flames over a multitude of lengthscales and timescales. These interactions are nonlinear and are ubiquitous, for example, in propulsion engines operating in space, air, land, and sea. ... -
On The Structure of Proper Holomorphic Mappings
(2017-09-28)The aim of this dissertation is to give explicit descriptions of the set of proper holomorphic mappings between two complex manifolds with reasonable restrictions on the domain and target spaces. Without any restrictions, ... -
On the Tradeoff Of Average Delay, Average Service Cost, and Average Utility for Single Server Queues with Monotone Policies
(2018-04-23)In this thesis, we study the tradeoff of average delay with average service cost and average utility for both continuous time and discrete time single server queueing models without and with admission control. The continuous ... -
On Three Dimensional High Lift Flow Computations
(2018-02-18)Computing 3D high lift flows has been a challenge to the CFD community because of three important reasons: complex physics, complex geometries and large computational requirements. In the recent years, considerable progress ... -
On Trait Evolution in a Heterogeneous Environment: Oviposition Site Selection in a Mosquito in Response to Multiple Risk Factors
A focus in evolutionary biology is to understand the drivers of diversity in animal behavioural traits in the living world. Animals facing similar problems in the environment, such as the problem of how much to invest in ...
