Studies for Design of Layered Ceramic Armour Inspired by Seashells
(2018-06-26)Pearly layers in seashells, also known as nacreous layers, are reported to be three orders of magnitude tougher than their primary constituent, aragonite. Their high toughness is attributed to a particular structure of ... -
Studies In Automatic Management Of Storage Systems
(2015-11-16)Autonomic management is important in storage systems and the space of autonomics in storage systems is vast. Such autonomic management systems can employ a variety of techniques depending upon the specific problem. In this ... -

Studies In Micro Interconnections In Printed Wiring Board
(2010-08-30)Trend towards downsizing the product size and at the same time to bring more functionality in electronic products, demands electrically interconnecting several miniaturized electronic components with high counts of I\Os ... -
Studies In Stability Of Newtonian And Viscoelastic Fluid Flow Past Rigid And Flexible Surfaces
(2010-09-23)The surface oscillations in a deformable wall are known to induce an instability in the adjacent flow even in the absence of inertia. This instability, if understood properly, can be exploited to generate a well-mixed flow ... -
Studies in Strongly Correlated Systems: From Ultracold Superfluids to Strange Metals
Almost all the technology that we use today depends on our ability to control and exploit the properties of many electron phases. These phases are primarily made up of non-interacting fermions embodied in a metal or a ... -
Studies In The Dynamics Of Two And Three Wheeled Vehicles
(2016-09-09)Two and three-wheeled vehicles are being used in increasing numbers in many emerging countries. The dynamics of such vehicles are very different from those of cars and other means of transportation. This thesis deals with ... -
Studies in Water Treatment : Defluoridation using Adsorption, Denitrification using a Microbial Fuel Cell, and Contaminant Removal using Solar Distillation
(2018-05-23)This thesis includes both experimental and modelling studies on the treatment of drinking water. Three aspects were studied: (i) removal of fluoride (F– ) by adsorption, (ii) removal of fluoride and other contaminants by ... -
Studies into Embodied and Operational Energy in Traditional and Conventional Residential Buildings in India
The role of the built environment and the construction industry in sustainable development gained global attention due to their significant share in global warming, GHG emissions, energy demand and depletion of non-renewable ... -
Studies into Thermal Transmittance of Conventional and Alternative Building Materials and Associated with Building Thermal Performance
(2018-03-01)The present investigation is focused on the thermal performance of building materials, specifically their thermal transmittance, and consequent impact on building envelope and building thermal performance. Thermal performance ... -
Studies of "clean" and "disordered" Bilayer Optical Lattice Systems Circumventing the 'fermionic Cooling-problem'
(2018-09-04)The advancement in the eld of cold-atoms has generated a lot of interest in the condensed matter community. Cold-atom experiments can simulate clean, disor-der/impurity free systems very easily. In these systems, we have ... -
Studies of Diamagnetism and Thermoelectric Transport in High Temperature Superconductors and Graphene
Using a recently proposed Ginzburg-Landau-like free energy functional due to Banerjee et al. Phys. Rev. B 83, 024510 (2011) we calculate the fluctuation diamagnetism of high-T c superconductors as a function of doping, ... -
Studies Of Diffuse Ultraviolet Radiation
(2013-10-07)Ever since the first observations of diffuse ultraviolet radiation by Hayakawa et al. (1969) and Lillie & Witt (1976), there has been an effort to understand its distribution and its origin. Unfortunately, because of the ... -
