Modeling Lysis Dynamcis Of Pore Forming Toxins And Determination Of Mechanical Properties Of Soft Materials
(2015-08-07)Pore forming toxins are known for their ability to efficiently form transmembrane pores which eventually leads to cell lysis. PFTs have potential applications in devel-oping novel drug and gene delivery strategies. Although ... -
Modeling Magnetic Anisotropy in Single Chain Magnets
This thesis embodies work on modeling magnetic anisotropy in molecular magnets. Understanding the factors that govern the magnitude of anisotropy in these materials is crucial for tailoring molecules that can be used in ... -
Modeling of Coalescence Cascades in Liquid-Liquid dispersions
Agitated dispersions of one liquid in another immiscible liquid invert at a critical value of dispersed phase fraction, nearly catastrophically. The dispersed phase becomes continuous and vice versa. This phenomenon has ... -
Modeling of Contact in Orthotropic Materials using Variational Asymptotic Method
(2018-06-18)Composites are materials which cater to the present and future needs of many demanding industries, such as aerospace, as they are weight-sensitive for a given requirement of strength and stiff ness, corrosion resistant, ... -
Modeling Of Contaminant Transport Through Soils And Landfill Liners
(2013-04-26)Accurate modeling of contaminant transport and sorption processes in the soil and landfill liners is a prerequisite for realistic model simulations of contaminant fate and transport in the environment. These studies are ... -
Modeling Of Dust Loaded Electrical Characteristics And Collection Efficiency Of Industrial Electrostatic Precipitators
(2010-12-08)With the increase in population and industrial growth, the need for power has increased manifold. A major share of India’s power generation is coal-based generation. Thermal power generation through coal combustion produces ... -
Modeling of Lightning Attachment to Aircraft and a Novel Methodology to Quantify Strike Rate
Air transport plays a vital role in global economic growth and long-distance commutation. The aviation industry is found to double its fleet size every fifteen years. According to Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), 45 ... -
Modeling Of Liquid Flow In A Packed Bed Under Influence Of Gas Flow
(2009-03-05)The aim of the current study is to model (non-wetting) liquid flow in a packed bed under the influence of gas flow. It has been observed experimentally that non-wetting liquid flows in a packed bed in form of small droplets ... -
Modeling of Permittivity Variations in Stochastic Computational Electromagnetics
With the evolution of 5G systems offering high data rates, major changes are required in the design approach of the components of communication systems. Furthermore, building complex electromagnetic systems at the terahertz ... -
Modeling of phase inversion phenomenon
Turbulent liquid–liquid dispersions are frequently encountered in the chemical industry in various operations such as liquid–liquid extraction, liquid–liquid reactions, polymerization, and direct contact heat transfer. ... -
Modeling of Solar Radiation Management : A Comparison of Simulations using Reduced Solar Constant and Stratospheric Aerosols
(2017-11-22)The climatic effects of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) geoengineering have been often modeled by simply reducing the solar constant. This is most likely valid only for space sunshades and not for atmosphere and surface ... -
Modeling of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Centrifugal Compressors for Brayton Power Cycles
Due to several perceived advantages, supercritical Carbon dioxide (sCO2) cycles are viewed as potential replacements for steam-based power generation. Their successful deployment depends on several factors - one important ... -
Modeling of the Haltere-A Natural Micro-Scale Vibratory Gyroscope
(2018-06-05)Vibratory gyroscopes have gained immense popularity in the microsystem technology because of their suitability to planar fabrication techniques. With considerable effort in design and fabrication, MEMS (Micro-electro-mec ... -
Modeling Of Transport Phenomena In Arteries
(2013-05-23)Atherosclerosis is an arterial disease that occurs due to the build-up of lipids, cholesterol and other substances in the arterial wall, collectively called plaque, leading to narrowing of the vessel lumen and, in time, ... -
Modeling physiological transport at scales: connecting cells to organs
The physiological system is a complex network in which each organ forms a subsystem, and the functional networks in different subsystems communicate to maintain the body’s overall homeostasis. The ability to simultaneously ... -
Modeling Private Information In Bilateral Relationships For Revenue Management
(2010-12-01)This thesis addresses two issues which arise in the context of airline revenue management. In the first part of the thesis, we develop an incentive mechanism to prevent revenue leakage caused by customers buying down. In ... -
Modeling Salinity Impact on Ground Water Irrigated Turmeric Crop
(2018-04-18)Soils in irrigated fields are impacted by irrigation water quality. Salts in the irrigation water may accumulate in the soil depending on amount of leaching, the quality of water and type of ions present. Salinity is an ... -
Modeling the CD8+ T cell response to solid tumors: A multi-scale immunoinformatics approach to prognosticating disease outcome
Robust CD8 T cell activity is crucial for anti-tumor immune response. CD8 T cells keep tumors in check using direct effector mechanisms that cause tumor death. The key to this activity is the recognition of tumor cells as ... -
