The setting of the transmission of information over noisy, binary-input, memoryless channels is today well-understood, owing to the work of several information theorists, beginning with Claude Shannon. It is known that it ...

Smart-X applications are realized by interconnecting several objects to achieve real-time capability by improving safety, reliability, and efficiency. These interconnections can be broadly classified as physical connections ...

Studies on the non-ordinary states of consciousness (NSCs) induced by meditation, hypnosis, trance, and slow-paced breathing are gaining visibility due to their potential efficacy in treating various clinical conditions. ...

Low-power design techniques involving hardware and algorithms framework are a fundamental challenge of the modern electronic system. The internet connects devices (IoTs) with advanced capabilities in sensing and processing ...

A broadcast channel that is very effective for disseminating common content becomes highly inefficient when the users request different content. To address this inefficiency of the broadcast channel over which a server ...

Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) host excitons, a bound state of electron and hole. Excitonic many-body complexes dominate the optical spectra obtained from this system and manipulating these complexes ...

Sleep is not a single uniform state, but rather a cyclical pattern involving multiple stages such as rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM stages N1, N2, and N3). Polysomnography (PSG) is considered as the gold standard ...

The field of photonics offers a robust platform for efficient light-based technologies, directly impacting or serving as competent alternatives to address scientific problems. With the advent and advancement of micro-nano ...

Building good models for automatic speech recognition (ASR) requires large amounts of annotated speech data. Recent advancements in end-to-end speech recognition have aggravated the need for data. However, most Indian ...

Streaming codes are a class of erasure codes that operate on a stream of packets and enable recovery of dropped or erased packets under a decoding-delay constraint. The primary focus of this thesis is on providing constructions ...
