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 ... -
Computational analysis of polymer nanocomposites across length scales
Polymer nanocomposites (PNC) exhibit excellent mechanical properties making them a promising material for several engineering applications. The enhancement in properties is primarily attributed to the toughening and ... -
Computational And Biochemical Studies On The Enzymes Of Type II Fatty Acid Biosynthesis Pathway : Towards Antimalarial And Antibacterial Drug Discovery
(2009-08-13)Malaria, caused by the parasite Plasmodium, continues to exact high global morbidity and mortality rate next only to tuberculosis. It causes 300-500 million clinical infections out of which more than a million people succumb ... -
Computational And Combinatorial Problems On Some Geometric Proximity Graphs
(2017-05-24)In this thesis, we focus on the study of computational and combinatorial problems on various geometric proximity graphs. Delaunay and Gabriel graphs are widely studied geometric proximity structures. These graphs have been ... -
Computational and Experimental Approaches to Protein Design
Protein design is a rapidly maturing field, with the goal of designing proteins with customized structures and functions. A large number of protein structures are experimentally determined, which have facilitated an ... -
Computational And Experimental Studies On Protein Structure, Stability And Dynamics
(2014-08-18)The work in this thesis focuses on the study of three main aspects of proteins, viz, Protein structure, stability, and dynamics. Chapter 1 is a general introduction to the topics studied in this thesis. Chapter 2 deals ... -
Computational Investigation of Heterogeneous Lateral Organisation in Biological Membrane
The study of lateral heterogeneity on membrane surface has come a long way from the fluid mosaic model. Simulations and experimental studies have observed non-random mixing of lipids and proteins in the membrane. In this ... -
Computational investigation of peripheral membrane protein "Pleckstrin homology domain" and its regulation
The peripheral membrane protein repertoire is around 25% composed of the Pleckstrin homology domain (PHD). PHD are component of the multidomain protein and plays the role of an adaptor in recruitment of these proteins ... -
Computational mechanisms underlying eye-head coordination
Gaze or eye-head coordination is an ethologically and physiologically important process that directs the visual system to objects of interest. Due to its relative simplicity, it is an ideal system to study multi-effector ... -
Computational Mechanisms Underlying the Voluntary Control of Reach Movement Planning and Execution
In everyday life we make a variety of reaching movements. Most of these reaching movements have a clear objective of bringing the hand to the spatial location of the object of interest. Although we typically do not explicitly ... -
Computational Modeling of two Dimensional Heterostructures for Optoelectronic and Catalytic Applications
Two-dimensional van der Waals (2D-vdW) materials have attracted significant attention for their unique and excellent properties. The properties of the 2D-vdW materials can be precisely engineered using various techniques ... -
Computational Modelling Of Heat Transfer In Reheat Furnaces
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-08-24)Furnaces that heat metal parts (blooms) prior to hot-working processes such as rolling or forging are called pre-forming reheat furnaces. In these furnaces, the fundamental idea is to heat the blooms to a prescribed ...
