Compositionality of letter shape in word recognition
As you read this sentence, your brain just performed a miraculous task of converting collections of letter shapes into meaning. Reading is a cultural invention that is thought to exploit the intrinsic recognition abilities ... -
Compositionality of Object Representations in Brains and Machines
Compositionality in object vision can be defined as the principles governing the relationship between whole objects and their constituent attributes. It is known that object information falling on the retina is processed ... -
Comprehensine Studies Of Surface Aeration Systems
(2010-04-12)Dissolved oxygen refers to the mass of oxygen that is contained in water. The concentration of dissolved oxygen is an important indicator of the environments water quality. The presence of oxygen in water is desirable ... -
Comprehensive Investigation of the Mechanical Behavior of Nial-x (X=pt, Pd) Alloys: Effect of Composition, Orientation and Temperature
Gas turbine engines in the turbine section operate at temperatures exceeding 1300°C, which can cause high-temperature oxidation and reduce the lifespan of turbine blades. To counter this, thermal barrier coating (TBC) ... -
Comprehensive Path-sensitive Data-flow Analysis
(2010-08-25)Data-flow analysis is an integral part of any aggressive optimizing compiler. We propose a framework for improving the precision of data-flow analysis in the presence of complex control-flow. We initially perform data-flow ... -
Comprehensive Seismic Hazard Analysis of India
(2018-02-23)Planet earth is restless and one cannot control its inside activities and vibrations those leading to natural hazards. Earthquake is one of such natural hazards that have affected the mankind most. Most of the causalities ... -
Comprehensive Study on Synthesis and Characterization of Nanocellulose Reinforced Green Composites
Environmental issues caused by the non-biodegradability of synthetic thermoplastics have increased interest in more environmentally friendly alternatives that should be derived from renewable resources. This work focuses ... -
Compressed Domain Processing of MPEG Audio
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-02-11)MPEG audio compression techniques significantly reduces the storage and transmission requirements for high quality digital audio. However, compression complicates the processing of audio in many applications. If a compressed ... -
Compressible Mixing of Dissimilar Gases
(2018-03-22)This thesis is concerned with the study of parallel mixing of two dissimilar gases under compressible conditions in the confined environment. A number of numerical studies are reported in the literature for the compressible ... -
Compression for Distributed Optimization and Timely Updates
The goal of this thesis is to study the compression problems arising in distributed computing systematically. In the first part of the thesis, we study gradient compression for distributed first-order optimization. We ... -
Computation of Sparse Representations of High Dimensional Time Series Data and Experimental Applications
Obtaining a sparse representation of high dimensional data is often the first step towards its further analysis. Conventional Vector Autoregressive (VAR) modelling methods applied to such data results in noisy, non-sparse ... -
Computational Analyses of Protein Structure and Immunogen Design
(2018-08-20)The sequence of a polypeptide chain determines its structure which in turns determines its function. A protein is stabilized by multiple forces; hydrophobic interaction, electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bond formation ... -
Computational Analyses Of Proteins Encoded In Genomes Of Pathogenic Organisms : Inferences On Structures, Functions And Interactions
(2015-02-04)The availability of completely sequenced genomes for a number of organisms provides an opportunity to understand the molecular basis of physiology, metabolism, regulation and evolution of these organisms. Significant ... -
