On the effectiveness of exploiting instruction level reuse in superscalar microprocessor : Power-performance prespective
Modern microprocessors exploit Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) by employing substantial on-chip resources and incorporating microarchitectural features that exploit properties of programs. Among program attributes, ... -
On the Eikonal equation and shape from shading
This thesis proposes and develops new techniques for the solution of the Shape from Shading (SFS) problem. For a homogeneous Lambertian surface, illuminated by a distant point light source in the direction (p, q, -1) ... -
On the electrical transport of weak topological insulators and Weyl semimetals
Topological insulators have garnered enormous amount of attention owing to their unique topological properties. The surface states protected by the topology of the system hold limitless potentials including topological ... -
On the expressiveness of metric temporal logic
Temporal Logics are a popular formalism for specification of properties in the verification of reactive systems. They can be employed to reason about the behavior of systems with the evolution of time. For example, one can ... -
On the Factors Influencing the Stability of Phases in the Multiferroic System BiFeO3-PbTiO3
(2018-08-11)Rhombohedral perovskite BiFeO3 is a single phase multiferroic compound exhibiting both magnetic (Neel temperature ~370˚C) and ferroelectric (Curie point ~840˚C) ordering well above the room temperature. Ferroelectricity ... -
On The Fourier Transform Approach To Quantum Error Control
(2013-10-07)Quantum mechanics is the physics of the very small. Quantum computers are devices that utilize the power of quantum mechanics for their computational primitives. Associated to each quantum system is an abstract space known ... -
On the Geometry and Operator Theory of the Bidisc and the Symmetrized Bidisc
This work is concerned with the geometric and operator theoretic aspects of the bidisc and the symmetrized bidisc. First we have focused on the geometry of these two do- mains. The symmetrized bidisc, a non-homogeneous ... -
On The Issues Of Supporting On-Demand Streaming Application Over Peer-to-Peer Networks
(2009-06-17)Bandwidth and resource constraints at the server side is a limitation for deployment of streaming media applications. Resource constraints at the server side often leads to saturation of resources during sudden increase ... -
On the Kobayashi geometry of domains
In this thesis we study questions broadly related to the Kobayashi (pseudo)distance and (pseudo)metric on domains in ℂn. Specifically, we study the following subjects: Estimates for holomorphic images of subsets in convex ... -
On The Magnetic And Magnetotransport Studies Of Cobaltates And Superconductor/ Ferromagnet Heterostructures
(2011-06-30)The study of the co-existence of singlet superconductivity and ferromagnetism in bulk materials has been a long standing and intriguing problem in condensed matter physics since the superconductivity and ferromagnetism are ... -
On the migration of maximum tropical rain fall zone in a simple climate model
The aim of this thesis is to understand the seasonal migration of the maximum precipitation zone in the tropics (ITCZ) using a simple climate model. An attempt is also made to extract at least phenomenological answers to ... -
On the mismatch between predicted and measured frequencies in model testing
Mathematical models verified against ground test data are often necessary in the aerospace industry. They are used for predicting system performance in the intended as well as in any altered operating environments. They ... -
On the Nature Of Propagating MHD Waves In The Solar Atmosphere
(2014-10-15)One of the most persistent problem in solar physics is the identification of the mechanism that heats the solar corona and accelerates the fast solar wind. Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD)waves play a crucial role in heating of ... -
On the nature of transonic buffet in a finite span wing
Transonic buffet, or self-sustained shock oscillations caused by shock boundary layer interactions, creates lift and drag fluctuation on the wing of an aircraft. This aerodynamic instability limits the flight envelope of ... -
On the Optimality of Generative Adversarial Networks — A Variational Perspective
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a popular learning framework to model the underlying distribution of images. GANs comprise a min-max game between the generator and the discriminator. While the generator transforms ... -
On the optimization of control memory and data paths in the design of microprogrammed computers and microprocessors
In a microprogrammed processor, the size of the control memory depends upon the microinstruction word length (width of the control memory). An optimal microinstruction format reduces the width and hence the size of the ... -
On the Origin of Parasitic (Electro)Chemistry in Rechargeable Aprotic Metal-Oxygen Batteries
Aprotic metal-oxygen batteries, especially Li-O2 and Na-O2 batteries, could afford theoretical specific energies in excess of 1000 Wh/kg. However, the practical realization of the theoretically possible high specific ...
