Approaches to Regional Analysis of Hydro-Meteorological Processes and Extremes
Regional analysis of hydrometeorological variables (e.g., evapotranspiration, precipitation), hydrological processes (e.g., runoff), and their extremes (e.g., drought, floods) is essential for various applications. The ... -
Approximate Dynamic Programming and Reinforcement Learning - Algorithms, Analysis and an Application
(2018-08-13)Problems involving optimal sequential making in uncertain dynamic systems arise in domains such as engineering, science and economics. Such problems can often be cast in the framework of Markov Decision Process (MDP). ... -
Approximate Nearest Neighbour Field Computation and Applications
(2018-05-09)Approximate Nearest-Neighbour Field (ANNF\ maps between two related images are commonly used by computer vision and graphics community for image editing, completion, retargetting and denoising. In this work we generalize ... -
Approximation Algorithms for Geometric Packing and Covering Problems
We study a host of geometric optimization problems that are NP-hard and design polynomial time approximation algorithms for them. More precisely, we are given a family of geometric objects and a point set, mostly in the ... -
Approximation Algorithms for Geometric Packing Problems
We study approximation algorithms for the geometric bin packing problem and its variants. In the two-dimensional geometric bin packing problem (2D GBP), we are given n rectangular items and we have to compute an axis-parallel ... -
Aqueous and Non- aqueous dispersions of MoS2 Nanosheets
The focus of this thesis is an attempt to provide a molecular perspective of the interactions of solvent and ligand molecules with sonication assisted exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets in aqueous and non-aqueous dispersions. In ... -
Aqueous and Non-aqueous Dispersions of Graphene and Boron Nitride Nanosheets : NMR Measurements and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Preface Ever since the discovery of graphene in 2004, there has been considerable interest in two dimensional (2D) nanomaterials due to their distinctive properties and the prospect of potential applications. A ... -
Aqueous Binary Mixtures: A Study Using NMR Measurements and ab initio Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Binary mixtures having a combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups, such as waterdimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), water-methanol, water-ethanol, water-tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA), water dioxane, and water-glycerol, ... -
Aqueous Dispersions of Graphene Oxide, Reduced Graphene Oxide and Functionalized Graphene Oxide
(2018-01-29)Graphene sheets, one atom thick, two dimensional layers of carbon atoms, have gained enormous importance over the past few years due to their unique attributes - high electronic, thermal conductivities and exceptional ... -
Aqueous Phase Oxidation Of Sulfur Dioxide In Stirred Slurry Reactors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-18)Air pollution by sulfur dioxide is of great concern due to its harmful effects on environment, human beings, fauna and flora. Fossil-fuel-fired power plants are one of the major sources of SO2 emissions. Typically the ... -
Arabian Sea High Salinity Core in the Bay of Bengal
The Summer Monsoon Current (SMC) advects high salinity water from the Arabian Sea into the Bay of Bengal (BoB) during the summer monsoon. This high salinity water subducts and enters the BoB as a subsurface high salinity ... -
Arabidopsis Serine/Threonine/Tyrosine Protein Kinase : Implications in Growth And DEvelopment
(2018-07-19)Protein phosphorylation is a key cellular regulatory mechanism. Phosphorylation can either activate or inhibit the function of a particular protein. Activation of protein kinases has been implicated in response to light, ... -
An arbitrary lagrangian eulerian volume of fluid method for floating body dynamics simulation
The floating body dynamics is treated as a Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problem. A FSI problem is where the forces from the fluid move/deform the interacting structure, and the movement of the structure, in turn, ... -
Architecting and Developing Sensors for Environmental Monitoring
Pollution arising from inorganic and organic contaminants is a major environmental hazard that needs imperative attention. Anthropogenic and natural deposition of heavy metal ions constitute a significant component of this ... -
Architecting Conjugated Molecules for Band Gap Engineering & Photostability
Organic photovoltaic (OPV) modules are flexible, light weight, transparent and thin compared to other emerging photovoltaic technologies, making them well-suited for applications ranging from solar windows to fabrics. A ... -
An Architectural Exploration in Coordination Driven Self-Assembly & Fluorescent Imidazolium Salts as Picric Acid Receptors
(2017-10-11)Nature has always remained a constant source of inspiration for chemists for synthesizing natural products, mimicking enzymatic reactions or to construct molecular architectures resembling biological assemblies. With the ... -
Architecture and Design of Wide Band Spectrum Sensing Receiver for Cognitive Radio Systems
(2018-01-03)To explore spectral opportunities in wideband regime for cognitive radio we need a wideband spectrum sensing receiver. Current wideband receiver architectures need wideband analog to digital converter (ADC) to sample ... -
Architecture Descriptions for Retargetable Code Translation
