Mate Choice, Mate Sampling And Baffling Behaviour In The Tree Cricket Oecanthus henryi
(2017-07-12)Among the different sensory modalities that play a role in sexual selection, acoustic communication plays an important one. Acoustic communication has been known to be used for male-male competition (territory maintenance, ... -
Material and Mechanical Aspects of Thin Film Coatings for Strain Sensing Application on Aero Engines
Aero engines are one of the most complex machines on this planet and have propelled the necessity of advanced material technologies. Health monitoring of the engine is performed by a variety of sensors and amongst these ... -
Materials Chemistry in Search of Energy Materials : Photovoltaics and Photoluminescence
(2017-11-28)One third of world’s total energy is used in production of electricity and one fifth of the total electricity produced in the world is used in lighting. Hence, the materials that have high potential in the field of ... -
Materials For Hydrogen Generation, Storage, And Catalysis
(2013-01-22)Hydrogen, nature’s simple and the most abundant element has been in the limelight for the past few decades from the stand point of the so-called hydrogen economy. With a high calorific value (142 MJ/kg) that is three times ... -
Materials to Module: Engineering Strategies for Tin-Based Perovskite Solar Cells via Interface Optimisation, Crystal Growth, Composition Tuning, and Laser Processing
Tin-based perovskites (TBPS) have emerged as a promising non-toxic alternative to lead-based perovskites for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications, owing to their suitable bandgap (~1.2–1.4 eV), strong absorption, ... -
Materials with hydrgenbonded tartrate motifs : Implications on second harmonic generation
Abstract not available -
Materials, Processes and Device Design for High Performance, Sub-thermionic MoS2 FETs
The shrinking of the field-effect transistor (FET), commonly termed CMOS scaling, has revolutionised the semiconductor industry and impacted most aspects of human life. However, this decades-long successful trend of scaling ... -
Maternal Immune Activation Perturbs Gene Expression in the Embryonic Brain Leading to Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) constitutes a spectrum of developmental disorders that share common phenotypes of social and communication deficits and repetitive behaviours. ASDs have many possible underlying causes ... -
Mathematical and Computational Modelling Investigations of the Role of Trait Variation in Savanna-Woodland Bistable systems
Over the last decade, several studies have shown the importance of individual variation in natural populations. Theoretical ecological studies are beginning to incorporate trait variations in models, but they continue to ... -
Mathematical and data-driven modelling of viral infections: Applications to HIV/AIDS and COVID-19
Remarkable advances are being made in developing interventions for eliciting longterm remission of HIV-1 infection. The success of these interventions will obviate the need for lifelong antiretroviral therapy, the current ... -
Mathematical And Numerical Studies On The Inverse Problems Associated With Propagation Of Field Correlation Through A Scattering Object
(2011-05-23)This thesis discusses the inverse problem associated with the propagation of field autocorrelation of light through a highly scattering object like tissue. In the first part of the thesis we consider the mathematical issues ... -
Mathematical and Statistical Modeling of Epidemiology of Asymptomatic COVID-19 Infections and Vaccine Design Strategies
A defining feature of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the high prevalence of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections – laboratory-confirmed cases where individuals never develop symptoms. Accurately estimating the proportion ... -

Mathematical Modelling and Advanced Control Techniques for Irrigation Canal Management
Efficient water management in irrigation canal systems is vital for sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation. This thesis presents advanced control strategies to optimize water distribution and address the ... -
Mathematical models of some physiological system
This thesis presents some theoretical investigations on certain problems concerning the respiratory, excretory, and circulatory systems in human physiology, from a fluid mechanics point of view. It consists of an introductory ... -
Mathematical theory of the propagation of multidimensional shock and nonlinear waves
This thesis embodies the results of our investigation on a mathematical discussion of hyperbolic nonlinear waves under the high frequency approximation. It is divided into four chapters, of which Chapter I is the introduction ... -
Matrix cracking in polymer matrix composites under static and fatigue loading
Matrix cracking is the first and most dominant mode of damage in polymer matrix composite (PMC) laminates resulting in significant stiffness degradation under static and fatigue loading. Matrix crack evolution and its ... -
Maximum Independent Set of Rectangles - An Empirical Study
We study the Maximum Independent Set of Rectangles (MISR) problem. The problem involves a collection of n axis-parallel rectangles in 2D with weights. For the unweighted case, the goal is to find the maximum number of ... -
MDCT Domain Enhancements For Audio Processing
(2011-05-10)Modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) derived from DCT IV has emerged as the most suitable choice for transform domain audio coding applications due to its time domain alias cancellation property and de-correlation ...
