Sparsity Driven Solutions to Linear and Quadratic Inverse Problems
The problem of signal reconstruction from inaccurate and possibly incomplete set of linear/non-linear measurements occurs in a variety of signal and image processing applications. In this thesis, we develop reconstruction ... -
Sparsity Motivated Auditory Wavelet Representation and Blind Deconvolution
(2018-08-29)In many scenarios, events such as singularities and transients that carry important information about a signal undergo spreading during acquisition or transmission and it is important to localize the events. For example, ... -
Spatial Analysis and Reconstruction of Reverberant Speech
Speech signal includes the spoken message and a lot more information such as speaker emotion, identity, language, speaking location characteristic etc., which makes the human interaction lively, desirable and more useful. ... -
Spatial and Coevolutionary Dynamics of Cooperation
Cooperation is ubiquitous across taxa in the animal kingdom. For example, microbes cooperate in producing antibiotic-resistant biofilms, mammals and birds collectively mob predators, and humans cooperate in utilization of ... -
Spatial and temporal patterns of vegetation- climate interactions
In this thesis, I tried to understand the patterns and processes of vegetation trends at different spatial scales and resolution. The spatial variability in vegetation trends was related to inter and intra-annual changes ... -
Spatial downscaling and analysis of satellite and ground-based rainfall for hydrological modelling
Precipitation is a vital element of the global hydrological and energy cycles, which is intermittent and highly variable in both space and time. Accurate measurements of precipitation at various space and time scales are ... -
Spatial Encoding NMR : Methods and Application to Relaxation Measurements, Dissolution Monitoring and Ultrafast NMR
(2018-02-06)Discrete and Continuous spatial encoding methods are described with details of understanding principles and practical implications. Step by step experimental op- timization procedure of these methods to achieve slice ... -
Spatial Filtering Techniques for Large Penetration Depth and Volume Imaging in Fluorescence Microscopy
(2018-04-06)In the past two decades, Fluorescence microscopy has imparted tremendous impact in Biology and Imaging. Several super-resolution Fluorescence imaging techniques (e.g. PALM, STED, STORM, 4Pi and structured illumination) ... -
Spatial Variation In Interactions Of The Semi-Myrmecophyte Humboldtia Brunonis (Fabaceae) With Ants And Other Invertebrates
(2010-06-01)Despite a long history of investigations on protective ant-plant interactions, since the late 19century (Thomas Belt 1874), a comprehensive quantitative understanding of the adaptations that facilitate these associations ... -
Spatially Adaptive Regularization for Image Restoration
Image restoration/reconstruction refers to the estimation of an underlying image from measurements generated by imaging devices. This problem is generally ill-posed since the measurements are corrupted by the physical ... -
Spatially Correlated Data Accuracy Estimation Models in Wireless Sensor Networks
(2018-02-10)One of the major applications of wireless sensor networks is to sense accurate and reliable data from the physical environment with or without a priori knowledge of data statistics. To extract accurate data from the physical ... -
Spatially Resolved Studies Of Electronic Phase Separation And Microstructure Effects In Hole Dopped Manganites
(2010-08-17)The main focus of this thesis is in understanding the role of phase separation and microstructure in determining the physical properties of manganites. We also aim to be able to tune certain material properties using ... -
Spatio-Temporal Control Of Drosophila Indirect Flight Muscle Development And Maintenance By The Transcription Factor Erect Wing
(2016-04-27)Muscle development involves concerted action of a repertoire of mechanisms governing myoblast proliferation, migration, fusion and differentiation. Subsequently, there are cellular events administrating proper muscle ... -
Spatio-temporal Memories: Theory and Algorithms
This thesis is primarily focused on building a systematic theory for spatio-temporal memories based on unsupervised learning and exploring its applications. Also, contributions are made in the area of supervised learning ... -
Spatio-temporal Regulation of GPCR mediated MAPK Transactivation in Living Cells
Signal transduction is a mode of cellular communication essential for an organism’s sustenance and survival. Cell communication in higher organisms is largely executed by two classes of cell surface receptors i.e. G-protein ... -
Speaker verification using whispered speech
Like neutral speech, whispered speech is one of the natural modes of speech production, and it is often used by speakers in their day-to-day life. For some people, such as laryngectomees, whispered speech is the only ... -
Species Ranges, Richness and Replacement of Trees in the Evergreen Forests of the Western Ghats
(2018-05-14)It has been more than two centuries since the latitudinal pattern of increase in taxonomic richness from poles to equator was first documented. After two centuries of research, and with more than two dozen hypotheses ... -
Specification and Verification of Tolerances for Parts with Free-Form Surfaces
(2017-11-27)The need for increased product variety and improved aesthetics require the manufacturing enterprise to reduce time to market and to increase use of free-form surfaces in the form of the product. These changes lead to ... -
Specification Synthesis with Constrained Horn Clauses
Many practical problems in software development, verification and testing rely on specifications. The problem of specification synthesis is to automatically find relational constraints for undefined functions, called ...
