Content Distribution in Social Groups
(2018-01-29)We study Social Groups consisting of self-interested inter-connected nodes looking for common content. We can observe Social Groups in various socio-technological networks, such as Cellular Network assisted Device-to-Device ... -
Content-Based Texture Analysis and Synthesis for Low Bit-Rate Video Coding Using Perceptual Models
Determining perceptually irrelevant and redundant information from human point of view is one of the fundamental problems today that is limiting the performance of current video compression algorithms. The performance of ... -
Context Dependent Effects of the Transforming Growth Factor-beta Signaling and Role Played by WNT4 in the Activation of Fibroblasts
(2018-07-26)Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of cytokines comprises of several members, which can broadly be sub-divided into three classes [TGF-βs, Activin/Nodal, and Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs)]. Most members ... -
A Context-Aware Neural Approach for Explainable Citation Link Prediction
Citations have become an integral part of scientific publications. They play a crucial role in supporting authors’ claims throughout a scientific paper. However, citing related work is a challenging and laborious task, ... -
Continuous Beam of Laser-Cooled Ytterbium Atoms for Precision Measurements
(2017-11-22)What if an elementary particle such as an electron had an intrinsic electric dipole moment (EDM)? Existence of such an EDM would be an indication of time-reversal symmetry violation in the laws of Physics. The Standard ... -
A Continuous Optimization Approach To Protein Design With Structural And Functional Constraints
(2013-04-30)We have developed a novel computational approach to functional de novo protein design using gradient based continuous optimization techniques. Motivated by many engineering applications in which a cost function is optimized ... -
Continuous-Curvature Path Planning Using Four Parameter Logistic Curves
Autonomous vehicles perform time and cost effective operations with minimal or no human effort and hence, have the potential to be used in civilian, commercial and military applications. Pertaining to these applications, ... -
Continuous-Wave Supercontinuum Generation using Cascaded Raman Fiber Lasers
This thesis explains architecture and techniques to generate high power, CW supercontinuum laser sources using standard Silica fibers as the nonlinear medium, pumped using high power CW Yb doped fiber lasers. Unlike the ... -
Continuum Analysis of Cavitation Induced Failure and Tensile Deformation Response of Metallic Glasses & Nanoglasses
Metallic glasses (MGs), which are metals solidified in an amorphous state, have shown attractive mechanical properties such as high strength (up to 5 GPa), yield strain (around 2%) and good corrosion resistance. They ... -
Continuum Modeling Of Adhesive Interaction Based On Interatomic Potentials
(2018-01-12)Adhesion between solid bodies plays a prominent role in a wide variety of situations ranging from tribological applications to dust coagulation initiating the formation of planets. It can be due to various reasons like ... -
Contributions on Index Coding, Coded Caching and Gradient Coding
In this thesis, we cover three major areas, namely, index coding, coded caching and gradient coding. We begin by considering unicast index coding problems where a server broadcasts coded messages over a noiseless channel, ... -
Contributions To Venominformatics : Sequence-Structure-Function Studies Of Toxins From Marine Cone Snails. Application Of Order-Statistics Filters For Detecting Membrane-Spanning Helices
(2009-07-21)Venomous animals have evolved a vast array of peptide toxins for prey capture and defense. Nature has evolved the venoms into a huge library of active molecules with high selectivity and affinity, which could be explored ... -
Control and Safety of Multi-UAV Systems for Collaborative Payload Transportation and Target Tracking
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in reconnaissance, remote sensing, disaster relief, and agricultural applications. Many applications require multiple UAVs to cooperate to complete the assigned tasks. ... -
Control Of High Power Wound Field Synchronous Motor Drives - Modelling Of Salient Pole Machine, Field Oriented Control Using VSI, LCI And Hybrid LCI/VSI Converters
(2013-05-02)This thesis proposes control schemes and converter configurations for high power wound field synchronous motor (WFSM) drives. The model for a salient pole WFSM in any general rotating reference frame is developed which can ... -
Control of shock-induced vortex breakdown in Transonic regime on a slender delta wing body configuration using blowing
Modern high speed aircrafts feature highly swept and low aspect ratio wings, mainly to increase the critical Mach number and reduce the wave drag. A special case of swept wings is wings with triangular planform commonly ... -
Control Strategies for Seamless Transition between Grid Connected and Islanded Modes in Microgrids
(2018-06-14)The popularity of distributed generating (DG) sources have been increasing over the past few years. With the increasing penetration of these DGs, the concept of micro grid is becoming popular. A micro grid is a small power ... -
A Control Systems Approach to Understanding Saccadic Eye Movements
The oculomotor system is extensively studied using concepts of control theory like optimal control, feedback control, and predictive control. But these studies have largely been restricted to investigating the central ... -
Control, Modulation and Testing of High-Power Pulse Width Modulated Converters
(2018-04-02)Experimental research on high-power converters, particularly in an academic environment, faces severe infrastructural constraints. Usually, power source and loads of required ratings are not available. Further, more ...
