Monte Carlo Simulations with Variance Reduction for Structural Reliability Modeling, Updating and Testing
(2018-04-24)Monte Carlo simulation techniques have emerged as widely accepted computing tools in tackling many problems in modern structural mechanics. Apart from developments in computational hardware, which have undoubtedly made ... -
Moonlighting Functions of the Rv0805 Phosphodiesterase from Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-04-18)All organisms must sense and respond to their environment in order to survive. The processes that allow a living cell to sense changes in its environment, and respond appropriately are collectively referred to as ‘signal ... -
Morphological Perspectives of Sand Liquefaction and its Mitigation
Liquefaction of soils under seismic conditions has profound implications for infrastructure resilience in earthquake-prone regions. Saturated loose cohesionless granular soils have the tendency to readily lose grain contacts ... -
Morphology and topology of cosmological fields during the Epoch of Reionization
In this thesis we have introduced a real space morphological tool, Contour Minkowski tensor (CMT) to analyse the 21cm brightness temperature field from EoR. We showed that the size and shape information of structures ... -
Morpological Architecturing of Electroactive Materials in Organic Electronics
(2018-05-11)Morphological architecturing is one of the smart and efficient ways to maximize the number of excitons harvested from the known photoactive materials and existing fabrication technologies. Surfaces and interfaces play a ... -
Morse-Smale Complexes : Computation and Applications
(2018-01-30)In recent decades, scientific data has become available in increasing sizes and precision. Therefore techniques to analyze and summarize the ever increasing datasets are of vital importance. A common form of scientific ... -
Mossbauer, Magnetization And Electrical Transport Studies On Iron Nanoparticles Embedded In The Carbon Matrix
(2009-08-19)This thesis deals with the studies of magnetization and electrical transport properties of iron nanoparticles embedded in the carbon matrix. The synthesis and characteristics of the nanoparticle systems studied, are also ... -
Motion Based Event Analysis
(2018-05-09)Motion is an important cue in videos that captures the dynamics of moving objects. It helps in effective analysis of various event related tasks such as human action recognition, anomaly detection, tracking, crowd behavior ... -
Motion Estimation From Moments Of Projection Data For Dynamic CT
(2016-09-15)In X-ray computed tomography, motion of the object (breathing, for example) while X-ray projections are acquired for tomographic reconstruction leads to mo- tion artifacts in the reconstructed image. Object motion (such ... -
Motion Optimistion Of Plunging Airfoil Using Swarm Algorithm
(2010-06-03)Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are battery operated, remote controlled miniature flying vehicles. MAVs are required in military missions, traffic management, hostage situation surveillance, sensing, spying, scientific, rescue, ... -
Motion Planning of Flexible One-dimensional Object and Hyper-redundant Robots
This thesis deals with motion planning of flexible one-dimensional objects and hyper-redundant serial robots moving in a plane or in three dimensional space. The flexible one-dimensional object is modeled as a continuous ... -
Motion Space Analysis of Smooth Objects in Point Contacts
(2018-07-19)The present work studies instantaneous motion of smooth planar and spatial objects in unilateral point contacts. The traditional first-order instantaneous kinematic analysis is found insufficient to explain many common ... -
MPCLeague: Robust MPC Platform for Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning
In the modern era of computing, machine learning tools have demonstrated their potential in vital sectors, such as healthcare and finance, to derive proper inferences. The sensitive and confidential nature of the data in ... -
Multi-agent Consensus Using Generalized Cyclic Pursuit Strategies
(2009-05-11)One of the main focus of research on multi-agent systems is that of coordination in a group of agents to solve problems that are beyond the capability of a single agent. Each agent in the multi-agent system has limited ... -
Multi-Agent Positional Consensus Under Various Information Paradigms
(2017-02-22)This thesis addresses the problem of positional consensus of multi-agent systems. A positional consensus is achieved when the agents converge to a point. Some applications of this class of problem is in mid-air refueling ... -
Multi-Agent Search Using Voronoi Partition
(2010-08-05)This thesis addresses a multi-agent search problem where several agents, equipped with sensors and communication devices, search an unknown area. Lack of information about the search space is modeled as an uncertainty ... -
