Availability, Allocation and Sharing of Water in a River Basin
(2018-06-18)The economic growth and the increase in population has led to an increased demand for water for various purposes such as domestic consumption, irrigation, industrial use, power generation, navigation, recreation, and ... -
Axially Homogeneous Turbulent Convection at High Rayleigh Numbers : Scaling Laws for Flux and Spectra
(2018-05-30)Natural turbulent convection studies encompass a wide range of flows occurring in nature, for example, atmospheric and oceanic flows, con-vection in the Earth’s mantle, convection in the stars and also in many engineering ... -
Bayesian Nonparametric Modeling of Temporal Coherence for Entity-Driven Video Analytics
(2018-05-14)In recent times there has been an explosion of online user-generated video content. This has generated significant research interest in video analytics. Human users understand videos based on high-level semantic ... -
Behavior of Distance Relay Characteristics on Interconnecting Lines Fed From Wind Farms
(2018-05-14)Distance relays due to their selectivity and operating speed are used in HV/EHV line protection. The dynamic nature of Mho characteristic, which happens to be most primitive technique in line protection implemented with ... -
Biochemical and Functional Characterization of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Nucleoid-Associated Proteins H-NS and mIHF
(2018-08-11)Bacteria lack nucleus and any other membrane-bound organelles. Hence all the cellular components, including proteins, DNA, RNA and other components are located within the cytoplasm. The region of the cell which encompasses ... -
Biochemical and Functional Studies on the Evolutionarily Conserved MPPED1/MPPED2 Protein Family
(2018-05-16)A large number of evolutionarily conserved genes have been identified by comparative genomics approaches. However, a considerable fraction of these genes lack functional characterization despite the availability of several ... -
Bioremediation of Chromium : Mechanisms and Biosensing Applications
(2018-06-05)Water pollution, especially caused due to the indiscriminate release of heavy metals as a result of anthropogenic activities is a major concern worldwide. Chromium, a heavy metal, regardless of its commercial importance ... -
Bioremediation of Lead from Aqueous Solutions using Pseudomonas Species - Mechanisms & Biosensor Applications
Industrialization, urbanization and technological developments have improved the standard of living for humans on the one hand, but they also have resulted in the generation of wastes containing toxic heavy metals that are ... -
Cache Coherence State Based Replacement Policies
(2018-07-14)Cache replacement policies can play a pivotal role in the overall performance of a system by preserving data locality and thus limiting the o -chip accesses. In a shared memory system, a cache coherence protocol is necessary ... -
The Caratheodory-Fejer Interpolation Problems and the Von-Neumann inequality
(2018-05-30)The validity of the von-Neumann inequality for commuting $n$ - tuples of $3\times 3$ matrices remains open for $n\geq 3$. We give a partial answer to this question, which is used to obtain a necessary condition for the ... -
Carbon Starvation Genes Mediate the Cross-talk Between Metabolism and Pathogenesis of Salmonella Typhimurium
Carbon starvation genes mediate the cross-talk between metabolism and pathogenesis of Salmonella Typhimurium Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) can infect a wide range of host animals to cause diseases ... -
Chimeric Virus Like Particles as Nanocarriers for Antibody Delivery in Mammalian Cells & Role of Groundnut Bud Necrosis Virus NSs in Viral Life Cycle
(2018-08-02)Knowledge of the dissociation constants of the ionizable protons of weak acids in aqueous media is of fundamental importance in many areas of chemistry and biochemistry. The pKa value, or equilibrium dissociation constant, ... -
A Class of Mathematical Models for Low Carbon Electricity Planning
(2018-08-09)India's electricity system is faced with the challenges of meeting the growing demand for electricity, managing recurring shortages in supply and addressing concerns of global warming. India is adopting a two-pronged ... -
Classical Binary Codes And Subspace Codes in a Lattice Framework
(2017-10-10)The classical binary error correcting codes, and subspace codes for error correction in random network coding are two different forms of error control coding. We identify common features between these two forms and study ... -
Codes With Locality For Distributed Data Storage
(2017-07-26)This thesis deals with the problem of code design in the setting of distributed storage systems consisting of multiple storage nodes, storing many different data les. A primary goal in such systems is the efficient repair ... -
Coding Schemes For Distributed Subspace Computation, Distributed Storage And Local Correctability
(2017-07-24)In this thesis, three problems have been considered and new coding schemes have been devised for each of them. The first is related to distributed function computation, the second to coding for distributed storage and the ... -
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 ... -
