Battery Buffered Stiff Micro Grid Structure For A Variable Speed Slip Ring Induction Machine Based Wind Generation System
(2010-04-12)Electric power has become a basic necessity of human life. The major share of electric power comes from fossil fuel which results in global warming and pollution. A share of generated power comes from nuclear power which ... -
Battle of Bandits: Online Learning from Subsetwise Preferences and Other Structured Feedback
The elicitation and aggregation of preferences is often the key to making better decisions. Be it a perfume company wanting to relaunch their 5 most popular fragrances, a movie recommender system trying to rank the most ... -
Bay of Bengal Circulation Features at Different Spatio-temporal Scales
The Bay of Bengal is a semi-enclosed tropical basin shaped by monsoon winds and massive freshwater input, producing a warm, low salinity, stratified upper ocean with a shallow mixed layer and a thick barrier layer in the ... -
Bay of Bengal Freshwater in the tropical Indian Ocean
The annual total continental runoff into the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is more than half the runoff into the entire tropical Indian Ocean. The net freshwater (FW) content in the Bay of Bengal mixed layer increases from a minimum ... -

The annual total continental runoff into the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is more than half the runoff into the entire tropical Indian Ocean. The net freshwater (FW) content in the Bay of Bengal mixed layer increases from a minimum ... -
Bayes Optimal Feature Selection for Supervised Learning
(2018-02-18)The problem of feature selection is critical in several areas of machine learning and data analysis such as, for example, cancer classification using gene expression data, text categorization, etc. In this work, we consider ... -
Bayesian Accelerated Life Testing of Series Systems
(2018-01-18)Consider life testing of J-component series systems that are subjected to stress levels that are steeper than that at normal usage condition. The objective of performing such life tests, commonly known as Accelerated Life ... -
A Bayesian Approach To Positron Emission Tomography
(2011-11-22) -
Bayesian implicit filters for the analysis of numerically stiff structural dynamic state space models
This thesis reports on combined experimental and computational investigations conducted on problems of state and combined state and parameter estimation applied to vibrating engineering structures. The standard dynamic ... -
Bayesian Nonparametric Modeling of Temporal Coherence for Entity-Driven Video Analytics
(2018-05-14)In recent times there has been an explosion of online user-generated video content. This has generated significant research interest in video analytics. Human users understand videos based on high-level semantic ... -
Bayesian Techniques for Joint Sparse Signal Recovery: Theory and Algorithms
This thesis contributes new theoretical results, solution concepts, and algorithms concerning the Bayesian recovery of multiple joint sparse vectors from noisy and underdetermined linear measurements. The thesis is written ... -
Beamforming and Target Tracking Methods for Active RF Phased Array Seekers
The end game guidance and control of an interceptor for neutralization of a hypersonic vehicle or a maneuvering aerial target is a challenging problem. This problem can be addressed in two ways: through faster autopilot ... -
Bearings-Only Information Based Guidance Law for Trajectory Shaping Applications
Munitions like projectiles and artillery mortars follow ballistic trajectory to hit the target. However, unguided munitions may miss the target due to external disturbances or errors in aerodynamic modeling. A guided ... -
Bearings-Only Quadrotor Guidance in Gap Traversal Scenarios
In autonomous missions, quadrotors are often required to safely fly through gaps or openings. Designing traversal guidance strategies becomes crucial in such scenarios, especially when the quadrotor relies on the information ... -
Behavior of Distance Relay Characteristics on Interconnecting Lines Fed From Wind Farms
(2018-05-14)Distance relays due to their selectivity and operating speed are used in HV/EHV line protection. The dynamic nature of Mho characteristic, which happens to be most primitive technique in line protection implemented with ... -
Behavioral and Neural bases of Subcomponents of the Attentional Blink
Attention enables us to select relevant stimuli for enhanced sensory processing and decision-making. Yet, our ability to pay attention is severely capacity limited. This limitation is clearly revealed when we seek to perform ... -
Behaviour Modelling of Non-Cooperative Space Objects and Strategies for Decision Support in Space Situational Awareness
Space Situational Awareness [SSA] is defined as the comprehensive knowledge of Resident Space Objects [RSO] which may include satellites, rocket bodies, debris etc. and the ability to understand their behaviour. SSA solutions ...
