Conjunctive And Multipurpose Operation Of Reservoirs Using Genetic Algorithms
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)Optimal operation of reservoir systems is necessary for better utilizing the limited water resources and to justify the high capital investments associated with reservoir projects. However, finding optimal policies for ... -
Conservation and divergence of the nucleotide excision repair pathway: Comparison of UvrB and UvrC proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Escherichia coli reveal significant differences in their functional properties
This thesis is presented in three chapters divided by topics. Chapter I will begin with an overview of literature regarding different types of DNA damage, DNA repair pathways in bacteria, properties of E. coli UvrABC ... -
Consistency of Spectral Algorithms for Hypergraphs under Planted Partition Model
(2018-01-01)Hypergraph partitioning lies at the heart of a number of problems in machine learning as well as other engineering disciplines. While partitioning uniform hypergraphs is often required in computer vision problems that ... -
A Constant Frequency Resonant Transition Converter

Constant-rate Non-malleable Codes and their Applications
Non-malleable codes(NMC) introduced by Dziembowski, Pietrzak and Wichs in ITCS 2010, provide powerful security guarantees where error-correcting codes can not provide any guarantee: a decoding of tampered codeword is ... -
Constellation Constrained Capacity For Two-User Broadcast Channels
(2011-07-12)A Broadcast Channel is a communication path between a single source and two or more receivers or users. The source intends to communicate independent information to the users. A particular case of interest is the Gaussian ... -
Constitutive Theories for Polymers Using Non-Classical Continuum Mechanics
This thesis is on the development of a few constitutive theories characterising the thermo-mechanical response of polymers. In proposing the theories, some aspects of non-classical continuum mechanics are used. The first ... -
Constrained Adaptive Control of Nonlinear Systems with Application to Hypersonic Vehicles
Constraints in input, output, and states are evident in most of the practical systems. Explicitly incorporating these constraints into the control design process leads to its superior performance in general. Therefore, ... -
Constrained Optimal Guidance Design of Interceptors for High-Speed Ballistic Targets
In this thesis, optimal control theory has been applied to design constrained terminal guidance algorithms for interceptor to destroy incoming high speed ballistic targets. There exist several optimal guidance algorithms ... -
Constrained Stochastic Differential Equations on Smooth Manifolds.
Dynamical systems with uncertain fluctuations are usually modelled using Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs). Due to operation and performance related conditions, these equations may also need to satisfy the constraint ... -
Constraining the Lithium Seawater Mass and Isotope Budget: Diagenetic Processes Through Marine Pore Waters
Silicate weathering consumes CO2 and controls cation fluxes to the ocean, thus playing a critical role in modulating long-term seawater chemistry and climate. There are very few markers of seawater chemistry whose value ... -
Constraint Effects On Stationary Crack Tip Fields In Ductile Single Crystals
(2011-03-15)In order to understand and predict the fracture behaviour of polycrystalline materials from a fundamental perspective, it is important to first investigate plastic deformation at a crack tip in a ductile single crystal. ... -
Constructing Provably Secure Identity-Based Signature Schemes
(2018-04-03)An identity-based cryptosystem (IBC) is a public-key system where the public key can be represented by any arbitrary string such as an e-mail address. The notion was introduced by Shamir with the primary goal of simplifying ... -
Constructing transition metal-based heterostructure nanomaterials for electrocatalysis
Storing renewable energy into chemical bonds like hydrogen as a carbon-neutral energy carrier to deliver the energy demands is gaining attention. However, the popular hydrogen production route by water electrolysis involves ... -
Construction of 3D CAD Models From 2D Orthographic Views
(2011-01-19)This thesis addresses the problem of constructing 3D CAD models from 2D engineering drawings of the object. Procedures for each step in the popular bottom-up approach are described. In each of the steps in this approach, ... -
Construction of C-C bonds by C-H Activation: Rh(III)-Catalyzed reactions of Arenes and Heteroarenes with Maleimides and Allylic Alcohols
The thesis presents a few Rh-catalyzed C-H activations for the construction of C-C bonds. The difficulty of substitution or the arylation at the maleimide's double bond under C-H activation conditions prompted a detailed ... -
Construction of C-C Bonds by Photocatalysis via Radical Addition Cascade Cyclization (RACC): Synthesis of Heteroatom-Containing Small Molecules
The thesis presents photocatalytic methods for synthesizing small organic molecules at room temperature. The thesis is divided into four sections. Section A presents the general introduction to the thesis. Section B is ...
