A Study of an R&D team in an Indian research organization : an ethnographic approach
The research reported in this thesis has attempted to provide a suggestive ethnographic case study of an R&D team in a government-sponsored power research institute in Southern India. This case study has tried to demonstrate ... -
An experimental study of the specific heat at the glass transition during cooling
In the preceding chapters we have demonstrated the continuous cooling method as a tool for the calorimetric study at the glass transition, bringing out several novel aspects observed in the specific heat measured at the ... -
Analytic and numerical studies of neural network models of associative memory
In this thesis, we have used analytical and numerical methods to study the behaviour of neural network models for the storage, classification and associative recall of information. In Part A, we have studied a class of ... -
Dissipative dynamics of classical and quantum systems
The organization is as follows. In Chapter II we introduce specific systems of interest, such as RBCs, microemulsions, tethered surfaces, and monolayer films of smectic-A and smectic-B systems. In Chapter III we calculate ... -
DPLL's for network synchronization: a new approach.
A new DPLL has been described in this thesis to overcome some of the limitations of the conventional second-order DPLL in the context of network synchronization applications. The analytical and computer simulation studies ... -
Electrical and spectroscopic investigations of phase transitions in ferroelectric TAAP and DTAAP
(1) TAAP and DTAAP show pronounced anomalies in dielectric constant at TcT_cTc? and follow Curie–Weiss law in both ferro? and paraelectric phases. (2) The dielectric constant and coercive field values of TAAP depend on the ... -
Electron spectroscopic investigations of nitrogen adsorbed on transition metal surfaces and of oxide superconductors.
1.4 Conclusions The core and valence level binding energies and vibrational stretching frequencies of nitrogen adsorbed on clean as well as modified transition?metal surfaces are summarized in Tables I.1–I.3. From Table ... -
Estimation of thermophysical properties of organic liquids: diffusion coefficients and excess volumes.
The objective of this work is to experimentally determine the thermophysical properties such as diffusion coefficients and excess volumes of mixing of some organic liquids, specifically of binary systems involving the ... -
An Implementation of Cross Architecture Procedure Call
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-01-26)workstations are ideally suited for computing jobs which require an interactive environment because they are basically single user machines and hence provide consistent response time. Another factor is the availability ... -
Integrated analytical models for parallel and distributed computing systems
Analytical modelling plays an important role in the design and development of parallel and distributed computing systems. In this context, Product Form Queueing Networks (PFQNs) and Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets (GSPNs) ... -
Investgations of molecular interaction by photoelectron and electron energy loss spectrospies
Electronic structures of a variety of electron donor-acceptor complexes have been studied by employing ultraviolet (HeI) photoelectron spectroscopy. The systems studied are the complexes of BH? / AlCl?, GaCl? and SO? with ... -
Knowledge-based preanalysis for multilevel clustering
Multilevel clustering offers the cluster analyst flexibility of choosing different algorithms at different levels with the possibility of reducing overall computational effort in comparison with the single-level application ... -
Low-frequency variability of compact extragalactic radio sources.
Metre-wavelength flux-density variations in compact extragalactic radio sources on time-scales of several months to a few years indicate brightness temperatures up to 3½ orders of magnitude higher than the inverse Compton ... -
Low-temperature preparatioin and characterization of the perovskite lanthanide chromites and related oxides
The thermal decomposition of lanthanum biscitrato chromate(III) dihydrate was investigated in both static air and flowing argon atmospheres. The complex decomposes in four distinct steps, forming oxycarbonate and ... -
Magnetic braking as a solution to the angular momentum problem of ellptical galaxies
The following idea is explored in this thesis: the angular momentum problem of elliptical galaxies can be solved by invoking magnetic braking operating during the formative phases of protoelliptical galaxies. For reducing ... -
Neural networks for invariant recognition of 2-D objects
This thesis studies the problem of translation-, rotation- and size-invariant recognition of two-dimensional objects. This problem can be framed as follows: Given (i) a set of object descriptions in terms of either global ... -
On the reconstruction problems in graph theory
One of the most difficult unsolved problems in graph theory is the Reconstruction Conjecture. Harary even referred to problems like the Four Colour Problem (now a theorem), the Hamiltonian Circuit Problem, and the ... -
PEG: a programming environment generator
Integrated piogramming enviionments play an im portant role in making the software development process easier and more efficient. Since there exist a number of programming languages, it is necessary to provide programmers ...
