Effective Property Estimation of Carbon Composites using Micromechanical Modeling
(2018-02-28)In recent times, composite materials have gained mainstay acceptance as a structural material of choice due to their tailorability and improved thermal, specific strength/stiffness and durability performance. Carbon-Carbon ... -
The Effectiveness of Technology Business Incubation: An Empirical Analysis in the Indian Context
Entrepreneurship is key to drive innovation, create wealth and jobs in any economy. Entrepreneurial startups hold the promise of high growth, yet they encounter high failure rates due to uncertainties, particularly in ... -
Effects of 3d Morphological Characteristics of Sand on Multi-scale Intergranular and Sand-geosynthetic Interactions
To understand the process of mobilization of shear strength in sands and sand-geosynthetic interfaces at a fundamental level, it is essential to precisely characterize the size and shape of the grains and the shear-induced ... -
Effects of aerosols and atmospheric boundary layer dynamics on refractive index fluctuations: implications for Free-Space Optical communication
Laser communication through atmospheric channels is an emerging wireless technology, commonly known as Free-Space Optical (FSO) communication. It facilitates unprecedented channel capacity and very large bandwidth, favouring ... -
Effects of Arctic Geoengineering on Precipitation in the Tropical Monsoon Regions
(2018-06-14)Arctic geoengineering wherein sunlight absorption is reduced only in the Arctic has been suggested as a remedial measure to counteract the on-going rapid climate change in the Arctic. Several modelling studies have shown ... -
Effects of Cyclic Permutation, Glycan Removal and Aspartate Mutagenesis on Conformation of HIV-1 Envelope
It has been decades since Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) was discovered. The virus has created havoc worldwide. According to the UNAIDS 2014 Gap report, 35million people worldwide are infected with HIV-1 and yet ... -
Effects Of Disorder On Physical Properties Of Selected Transition Metal Oxides
(2013-02-14)Disorder in materials often brings in new and exotic physical properties along with it. It is thus very important to study different kinds of disorder and their implications on various material properties. In this thesis, ... -
Effects Of Reinforcement Parameters On The Behavior Of Geosynthetic Reinforced Foundation Beds
(2010-09-22)Use of geosynthetics for reinforcing soil beds supporting shallow foundations has gained tremendous popularity in recent times. In this thesis, to study and understand the behaviour of geosynthetics reinforced soil ... -
The Effects of Social Capital and Open Innovation on R&D Outcomes and Job Satisfaction : A Study of The Indian Deference Sector
(2018-07-04)Social Capital and Open Innovation are important for organisational growth, as both of them influence Innovation, Learning and Job Satisfaction. The literature indicates that informal network measured as social capital and ... -
Effects Of Spin Polarization And Spatial Confinement On Optical Properties Of Bulk Semiconductors And Doped Quantum Wells
(2010-04-06)We correlated experimental results with theoretical estimations of the dielectric function ε(ω) in two contexts: the effect of an electric field in quantum wells and that of the spin polarization of an interacting electron-hole ... -
Effects of Steroid Hormones on Insulin Sensitivity and Lipogenesis: An Insight into the Involvement of the Wnt Signaling Pathway
The shift in maternal energy metabolism characteristic of pregnancy is thought to be driven by various hormonal changes, especially of ovarian and placental steroids. In this context, the effect of estradiol (E2), progesterone ... -
Effects of Strong Electron-Electron Correlations on Band Insulators in Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium
In this thesis, several aspects of correlation effects in band insulators that were hitherto not addressed, both in equilibrium and non-equilibrium, are studied using the Ionic Hubbard model (IHM) at half-filling and ... -
Efficacy of Solar irradiance, Methane and Black carbon aerosols
In climate science literature, the concept of radiative forcing is used to infer the equilibrium temperature change that would occur as a result of changes in the forcing agents such as greenhouse gases and aerosols. ... -
Efficient Algorithms for Learning Restricted Boltzmann Machines
The probabilistic generative models learn useful features from unlabeled data which can be used for subsequent problem-specific tasks, such as classification, regression or information retrieval. The RBM is one such important ... -
Efficient Algorithms for Structured Output Learning
(2018-05-08)Structured output learning is the machine learning task of building a classifier to predict structured outputs. Structured outputs arise in several contexts in diverse applications like natural language processing, computer ... -
Efficient and Convergent Algorithms for High-Fidelity Hyperspectral Image Fusion
Hyperspectral (HS) imaging refers to acquiring images with hundreds of bands corresponding to different wavelengths of light. HS imaging has a wide range of applications such as remote sensing, industrial inspection, ... -
Efficient and Resilient Stream Processing in Distributed Shared Environment
Internet of Things (IoT) deployments comprising of sensors and actuators collect observational data and provide continuous streams of data, often called streaming data or fast data. Smart Cities use such IoT technologies ...
