Multiscale modelling and design of multifunctional composites for microwave absorption applications
Microwave absorption materials (MAMs) are crucial for both long-standing aeronautical and emerging space security applications, with carbon-based materials traditionally dominating the field due to their exceptional strength ... -
Multiscale Simulation of Nucleic Acid Nanostructures
Nucleic acids, namely DNA and RNA, are arguably the most studied biological molecules. Utilizing the key properties of nucleic acids, such as their persistence lengths and Watson-Crick base-pairing complementarity, ... -
Multiscale Simulations in Multiphase Flows
Matter at small scales is not a continuum. Whenever we are dealing with phenomena which have disparate time and length scales, we have to rely on multiscale modelling approach in order to capture the complete physics. A ... -
A Multiscale Study of the Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Vacancy–grain-boundary Interactions
Grain boundaries (GBs) influence many physical and mechanical properties of crystalline materials. This is primarily because of their interactions with other kinds of defects, such as point and line defects. Such interactions ... -
Multiscaling in three-dimensional fluid turbulence
Fluid turbulence remains one of the most fascinating unsolved problems in Physics. Different aspects of it have attracted physicists and fluid dynamicists for decades. This thesis studies multiscaling of velocity structure ... -
Multisource Subnetwork Level Transfer in Deep CNNs Using Bank of Weight Filters
The convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have become the most successful models for many pattern recognition problems in the areas of computer vision, speech, text and others. One concern about CNNs has always been their ... -
Multistability in cellular differentiation enabled by three and four node mutually repressive regulatory networks: A case study of CD4+ T-cell decision making
Cellular differentiation is controlled by the complex dynamics of gene regulatory networks (GRNs), often featuring multistability, where multiple stable states represent different phenotypes. A common example is the toggle ... -
Multistage pattern recognition schemes for automatic... ... verification
This thesis presents studies on the application of multistage pattern?recognition schemes in automatic speaker identification and verification systems for large populations. The success of speaker?recognition schemes in ... -
Multithreaded media processing architectures - A frameworkq
Multimedia processing constitutes a significant part of current?day average microprocessor workloads. The coming of age of various enabling technologies like the Internet, compact discs, and digital versatile discs (DVDs) ... -
A Multiview Extension Of The ICP Algorithm
(2011-07-12)The Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm has been an extremely popular method for 3D points or surface registration. Given two point sets, it simultaneously solves for correspondences and estimates the motion between ... -
Multiview Face Detection And Free Form Face Recognition For Surveillance
(2014-10-15)The problem of face detection and recognition within a given database has become one of the important problems in computer vision. A simple approach for Face Detection in video is to run a learning based face detector every ... -
Multiview Registration Using Rank-Constrained Semide nite Programming
We consider the problem of reconstructing a 3D surface from its multiview scans. Typically, the computational pipeline for this problem has two phases: (I) finding point-to-point correspondences between overlapping scans, ... -
Muscle Fatigue Analysis During Dyanamic Conraction
(2016-09-09)In the field of ergonomics, biomechanics, sports and rehabilitation muscle fatigue is regarded as an important aspect since muscle fatigue is considered to be one of the main reasons for musculoskeletal disorders. Classical ... -
Music And Speech Analysis Using The 'Bach' Scale Filter-Bank
(2009-08-13)The aim of this thesis is to define a perceptual scale for the ‘Time-Frequency’ analysis of music signals. The equal tempered ‘Bach ’ scale is a suitable scale, since it covers most of the genres of music and the error is ... -
Mutational sensitivity of CcdB mutants in their native operonic context
Determining the precise effects of thousands of point mutants on protein structure, stability, and activity is a challenging task. Chapter 1 introduces how next-generation sequencing technologies exploit phenotypic screens ... -
Mxr1p is a Global Regulator of Multiple Metabolic Pathways in the Methylotrophic Yeast Pichia Pastoris
(2018-03-01)The present study is aimed at examining the ability of Pichia pastoris to utilize acetate and amino acids as the sole sources of carbon. We demonstrate that the zinc finger transcription factor Mxr1p, which is a positive ... -
Mycobacterial topoisomerases: insights into structure, mechanism and function
DNA encounters topological constraints during essential cellular processes such as replication, transcription, and chromosome segregation. To ensure facile execution of these processes, a ubiquitous class of enzymes known ... -
Mycobacterium Leprae RecA Intein : A LAGLIDADG Homing Endonuclease, Displays A Unique Mode Of DNA Binding And Catalysis Compared To A Canonical LAGLIDADG Homing Enzyme
(2010-09-30)Mobile genetic elements are DNA sequences that move around to different positions within one genome or between different genomes. Mobile DNA elements were initially considered as selfish DNA sequences parasitizing the ... -
