Motifs in proteins: Disulfide constraints and their applications to protein engineering and peptide modelling
By carrying out a detailed data analysis of 175 PP motifs in proteins, sequence–structure relationships were identified for linking loops 1–5 residues long. Conformational families were recognized in 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-residue ... -
Motion Based Event Analysis
(2018-05-09)Motion is an important cue in videos that captures the dynamics of moving objects. It helps in effective analysis of various event related tasks such as human action recognition, anomaly detection, tracking, crowd behavior ... -
Motion Estimation From Moments Of Projection Data For Dynamic CT
(2016-09-15)In X-ray computed tomography, motion of the object (breathing, for example) while X-ray projections are acquired for tomographic reconstruction leads to mo- tion artifacts in the reconstructed image. Object motion (such ... -
Motion Optimistion Of Plunging Airfoil Using Swarm Algorithm
(2010-06-03)Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are battery operated, remote controlled miniature flying vehicles. MAVs are required in military missions, traffic management, hostage situation surveillance, sensing, spying, scientific, rescue, ... -
Motion Planning of Flexible One-dimensional Object and Hyper-redundant Robots
This thesis deals with motion planning of flexible one-dimensional objects and hyper-redundant serial robots moving in a plane or in three dimensional space. The flexible one-dimensional object is modeled as a continuous ... -
Motion Space Analysis of Smooth Objects in Point Contacts
(2018-07-19)The present work studies instantaneous motion of smooth planar and spatial objects in unilateral point contacts. The traditional first-order instantaneous kinematic analysis is found insufficient to explain many common ... -
Mott-Hubbard Phenomena : Studies Within The Local Approximation
(2012-01-10)In this thesis we address a few such problems involving the microscopic theory of strongly correlated electrons using the d-tca or local approximation. The rest of this Chapter is organised as follows: we summarise the ... -
