Ab-initio Modeling and Designing of Materials for Thermoelectrics, Optoelectronics and High Temperature Applications
Designing a material for a particular application requires an atomistic understanding of its properties. Recent development in first principles methods and supercomputing speeds has enabled researchers to compute materials ... -
Accelerated and Accurate Alignment of Short Reads in High Throughput Next Generation Sequencing [NGS] Platforms
The genome of an organism encompasses the unique set of genetic instructions for every individual in a species. The genome, in totality, guides the course of evolution, development, genetic and epigenetic growth factors ... -
Acoustic Signals, Mate Choice And Mate Sampling Strategies in a Field Cricket
(2017-10-05)Acoustic communication in orthopterans and anurans provides a suitable model system for studying the evolutionary mechanisms of sexual selection mainly because males use acoustic signals to attract females over long distances ... -
Adaptive Sampling Pattern Design Methods for MR Imaging
(2018-02-07)MRI is a very useful imaging modality in medical imaging for both diagnostic as well as functional studies. It provides excellent soft tissue contrast in several diagnostic studies. It is widely used to study the functional ... -
Algebraic Techniques for Error Correction in Random Networks
Abstract The transmission of data in the presence of errors and erasures over random networks, in situations where there is only partial information regarding the underlying network topology, has been interpreted in ... -
Algiculture - A Novel Algae Cultivation Technique for Sustinable Algal Biofuel Production and Capture of Green House Gases
Algal biofuel has been shown to have great potential to solve the World’s sustainable energy crisis but technologies for large-scale cultivation are still elusive. While photobioreactors meet very high value algal products ... -
Algorithm And Architecture Design for Real-time Face Recognition
(2017-10-31)Face recognition is a field of biometrics that deals with identification of subjects based on features present in the images of their faces. The factors that make face recognition popular and favorite as compared to other ... -
Algorithms for Adjusted Load Flow Solutions using the Complementarity Principle
The state of a given power system i.e. voltage magnitudes and angles at all the buses can be computed using the Newton-Raphson Load Flow (NRLF) method when active power and reactive power loads are specified at all the ... -
Algorithms for Homogeneous Quadratic Minimization And Applications in Wireless Networks
(2017-11-09)Massive proliferation of wireless devices throughout world in the past decade comes with a host of tough and demanding design problems. Noise at receivers and wireless interference are the two major issues which severely ... -
Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles in Clayey Soils with Sloping Ground
In the present study, a small scale 1-g model test has been developed in the laboratory to study the behaviour of a long flexible single pile embedded in a slope of soft clay with different slope angles and L/D ratios, and ... -
Analysis of Local Field Potential and Gamma Rhythm Using Matching Pursuit Algorithm
(2017-11-17)Signals recorded from the brain often show rhythmic patterns at different frequencies, which are tightly coupled to the external stimuli as well as the internal state of the subject. These signals also have transient ... -
Analysis of Rotating Beam Problems using Meshless Methods and Finite Element Methods
(2018-03-01)A partial differential equation in space and time represents the physics of rotating beams. Mostly, the numerical solution of such an equation is an available option as analytical solutions are not feasible even for a ... -
Analysis of Thick Laminated Composite Beams using Variational Asymptotic Method
(2018-06-18)An asymptotically-exact methodology is presented for obtaining the cross-sectional stiffness matrix of a pre-twisted, moderately-thick beam having rectangular cross sections and made of transversely isotropic material. The ... -
Analysis of Vehicle Dynamics and Control of Occupant Biodynamics using a Novel Multi-Occupant Vehicle Model
(2018-06-26)Due to the detrimental effects of ride vibrations on occupants and increasing safety concerns, improvement in vehicle dynamic characteristics has become a key focus of researchers. Typically, ride and handling problems ... -
Analytic and Entire Vectors for Representations of Lie Groups
(2018-01-01)We start with the recollection of basic results about differential manifolds and Lie groups. We also recall some preliminary terminologies in Lie algebra. Then we define the Lie algebra corresponding to a Lie group. In the ... -
Analytical Investigations on Linear And Nonlinear Wave Propagation in Structural-acoustic Waveguides
(2017-09-26)This thesis has two parts: In the first part, we study the dispersion characteristics of structural-acoustic waveguides by obtaining closed-form solutions for the coupled wave numbers. Two representative systems are ... -
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 ... -
