Site Characterization and Assessment of Various Earthquake Hazards for Micro and Micro-Level Seismic Zonations of Regions in the Peninsular India
(2018-07-28)Past earthquakes have demonstrated that Indian sub-continent is highly vulnerable to earthquake hazards. It has been estimated that about 59 percent of the land area of the Indian subcontinent has potential risk from ... -
Site Characterization And Seismic Hazard Analysis With Local Site Effects For Microzonation Of Bangalore
(2010-05-25)Seismic hazard and microzonation of cities enable to characterize the potential seismic areas that need to be taken into account when designing new structures or retrofitting the existing ones. Study of seismic hazard and ... -
Site-selective C-H Functionalization using Directing Group Strategy via C-H Bond Activation
The thesis entitled “Site-selective C-H Functionalization using Directing Group Strategy via C-H Bond Activation” is divided into two sections. Section A, is presented in four chapters, comprising the work on the aromatic ... -
Size Dependence of Static and Dynamic Properties of Nanobars and Nanotubes
(2018-02-11)This thesis aims at investigating size dependence of properties of nanostructures from the point of view of a general scaling theory that smoothly connects properties of the bulk to that of nanostructures. Two different ... -
Sliding Mode Control Based Guidance Strategies with Terminal Constraints
(2018-07-23)In the guidance literature, minimizing miss distance along with optimizing the energy usage had been an objective for several decades. In current day applications, additional terminal performance such as impact angle and ... -
Slow Dynamics In Complex Fluids : Confined Polymers And Soft Colloids
(2015-08-05)The thesis describes the study of slow dynamics of confined polymers and soft colloids. We study the finite size effect on the dynamics of glassy polymers using newly developed interfacial microrheology technique. ... -
Slow Dynamics In Soft Condensed Matter : From Supercooled Liquids To Thermotropic Liquid Crystals
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-20)This thesis, which contains fourteen chapters in two parts, presents theoretical and computer simulation studies of dynamics in supercooled liquids and thermotropic liquid crystals. These two apparently diverse physical ... -
Small Angle Measurement Using Optical Caustics From Hollow Cylinders - Few Investingations
(2009-09-15)‘Optical Caustics’ represent some of the most visually striking patterns of the light in nature.They occur when light rays from a source, such as the sun, get refracted, or reflected by curved media so as to bend and alter ... -
Small Angle Sensing/Measurement Using 'Pattern Imaging' Method - Few Investigations
(2010-07-14)The present thesis concerns with a few investigations on sensing/measurement of small angle rotation/tilt using Pattern Imaging Method. The methodology involves looking at the tailored-objects located adjacent to the ... -
Small Heat Shock Proteins from Bacteria and a Bacteriophage
Proteins can unfold during heat and other types of stress and tend to aggregate with subsequent loss of function. This event is prevented by small Heat Shock Proteins (sHSPs) acting as molecular chaperones. sHSPs do not ... -
Small Heat Shock Proteins from Oryza Sativa and Salmonella Enterica
(2018-05-09)Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are a ubiquitous family of molecular chaperones that play a vital role in maintaining protein homeostasis in cells. They are the first line of defence against the detrimental effects of ... -
Small Signal Stability Analysis of a Power System with a Grid Connected Wind Powered Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG)
(2018-07-18)Small signal oscillation has been always a major concern in the operation of power systems. In a generator, the electromechanical coupling between the rotor and the rest of the system causes it to behave in a manner similar ... -
Small-amplitude Oscillations in Hypersonic Double-cone Flow
Unsteady compressible flows typically pose problems with rich dynamics. The broad concern of this thesis is the shock wave unsteadiness that arises in external high-speed flow over a double-cone body. This unsteadiness is ... -
Smart textiles with Tuneable Architectures for Multifunctional Applications
Innovations in electronics and the rapid developments in communication systems have been unprecedented and made life easier. One such advancement is wireless electronics, where gadgets operate in gigahertz frequencies – ... -
A Smooth Finite Element Method Via Triangular B-Splines
(2013-07-25)A triangular B-spline (DMS-spline)-based finite element method (TBS-FEM) is proposed along with possible enrichment through discontinuous Galerkin, continuous-discontinuous Galerkin finite element (CDGFE) and stabilization ... -
Smooth Finite Element Methods with Polynomial Reproducing Shape Functions
(2018-04-03)A couple of discretization schemes, based on an FE-like tessellation of the domain and polynomial reproducing, globally smooth shape functions, are considered and numerically explored to a limited extent. The first one ... -
Social Capital And Its Impact On New Venture Performance
(2011-10-10)Entrepreneurship is the process of transforming an idea into a tangible product or service that can be traded. High-growth entrepreneurial firms contribute a disproportionate share of all new jobs created by new firms. ... -
Social Organisation And Cooperation In Genetically Mixed Colonies Of The Primitively Eusocial Wasp, Ropalidia Marginata
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-08-05)Altruism in its extreme form is seen in social insects where most individuals give up their own reproduction and work to rear the offspring of their queen. The origin and evolution of such sterile worker castes remains a ... -
