Design, Analysis, Simulation and Experimentation of a Flexible Spine Quadruped
Quadrupeds robots can move on uneven and rough terrain where mobile robots cannot venture. Al-though bipeds have more capabilities, they are inherently unstable and difficult to control. Most quadrupeds today are built ... -
Design, Development, Deployment and Performance Evaluation of Pyroelectric Infra-Red and Optical Camera based Intrusion Detection Systems in an Outdoor Setting
The primary contribution of this thesis is the comprehensive design, development, and deployment of a pyroElectric, InfraRed-sensor-based IntruSion classification (EIRIS) platform, along with attendant detection and ... -
Design, Synthesis, and Bioactivity of Thioamidated Macrocyclic Peptides
The work presented in this thesis describes the comprehensive study related to thioamidated macrocyclic peptides. We study the underexplored class of peptide bond isostere; thioamides in the context of small macrocyclic ... -
Designing Solutions to Counter the Attacks in Mobile Ad hoc Networks
The open medium, dynamic topology and distributed operation in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) leads to high risks. Many solutions are proposed to protect a MANET from attacks, ranging from attack identification to ... -
Development and application of multi-photon microscopy in neuroscience and nanoscience
Neuroscience is at crossroads. Several interdisciplinary optical developments centred around nonlinear optical processes helps in better understanding of brain function at sub-micron and millisecond precision. Traditional ... -
Development and Characterization of a potent Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha blocking agent
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), one of the major pro-inflammatory cytokines, plays a pivotal role in an effective inflammation process and immune response. TNFα interacts with two different receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2, which ... -
Development of a Flexible Actuator and Motion Planning for Endoscopic Robots
Endoscopy is a procedure by which a long flexible device called the `endoscope' is inserted into a patient's gastro-intestinal(GI) tract primarily for diagnosis. An endoscope is typically equipped with a camera, ... -
Development of an efficient domain decomposition algorithm for solving large stochastic mechanics problems
With the growth of computational resources available, demand on the accuracy and speed of simulation is steeply increasing. Accordingly, accounting for the variabilities in the simulations plays a pivotal role in taking ... -
Development of anti-infective therapy against intracellular pathogens using targeted particulate delivery systems
Pathogens from bacterial class: Salmonella, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Listeria can survive and replicate intracellularly. While some pathogens remain cytosolic others such as Salmonella and Mycobacterium tuberculosis ... -
Development of Cryocooler Based High Performance Cryosorption Pump
The aim of this work is to develop high performance cryosorption (or cryoadsorption) pumps specifically for fusion applications. An actual cryopump for the above application will use the supercritical liquid helium flow ... -
Development of Graphene Metal Nanocomposite Resistive Films for Flexible Sensors and Body Warmer Applications
Mankind’s desire is to replicate the nature’s creation provided an impetus and inspiration to the rapid advancements, especially progress made in the sensors and other devices for next generation technologies from nanoscience ... -
Development of Mathematical Models for a Class of Component Remanufacturing Problems With Break-even Analysis
The aim of the research is to propose and address a class of Component Remanufacturing (CR) problems. This class of CR problems arise for any Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) who produces durable products and, acquires ... -
Development of Nanomaterials as Antioxidant Enzyme Mimetics for Cellular Redox Homeostasis
