Towards the development of open-chip digital microfluidics platform
Manipulating and utilizing fluid flows at microscale provides several opportunities towards technological advancement in different domains such as (but not limited to) lab-on-chip devices for mimicking biological laboratory ... -
Transboundary externalities and the river sharing problem
Population increase and economic growth have caused competing demands to occur over transboundary water resources. The property rights on such water resources are not well defined, and therefore competing demands give rise ... -
Transition metal oxide absorbers for photovoltaics
Several oxides are non-toxic, stable, and can be deposited using inexpensive techniques on a variety of substrates. There is a compelling case for use of oxide in photovoltaics, referred to as “all-oxide photovoltaics”. ... -
Transport in Interfacial Systems: Biosensor, Polymer, Colloid & Bacteria
Life forms as we know emerged due to unique mechanical and transport properties exhibited by Soft Materials at interface. For instance, the interior of a cell is separated from outside environment by lipid bilayer which ... -
Two-dimensional materials based artificial synapses for neuromorphic applications
The need and demand for continuous high-speed, energy-efficient hardware advancement is undisputed. Traditional computing system with von Neumann architecture leads to high energy consumption and latency due to a huge ... -
Two-Dimensional Nanomaterials for Chemiresistive Gas Sensors: Towards Development of Breath based Diagnostics
Breath based Diagnostics (BbD) can enable a paradigm shift in the Point-of-Care Diagnostic (PoCD) devices. Exhaled human breath has been demonstrated to contain over 2000 volatile organic and inorganic compounds, some of ... -
Ultra-wide Band-gap Semiconductor Heterostructures for UV Opto-electronics
A plethora of strategic, astronomical, commercial, and biological applications necessitate development of high-performance ultra-violet (UV) photodetectors to enable sensitive detection of low intensity UV signals. While ... -
Understanding Global Team Effectiveness In The Context Of Product Development
(2013-06-04)Today's global economy requires many organizations to co-ordinate work across a variety of intra and inter-organizational boundaries (Armstrong & Cole, 1995; Lipnack & Stamps, 1997). Global competition, re-engineered product ... -
Understanding spontaneous emission in the strong coupling regime of an emitter and absorbing matter
This thesis proposes a partition of optical states into radiative and non-radiative parts when an emitter is proximal to resonant absorbing nanostructures. The conventional partition is valid only for the weak coupling ... -
Unravelling the composition space of Zr2FeNiSb2 double half-Heusler thermoelectric material
More than half of annual energy consumption in thermal power plants are released in the form of waste heat. However, this waste heat could be harnessed with the help of thermoelectric (TE) devices which can convert this ... -
Variance of Difference as Distance Like Measure in Time Series Microarray Data Clustering
(2018-01-09)Our intention is to find similarity among the time series expressions of the genes in microarray experiments. It is hypothesized that at a given time point the concentration of one gene’s mRNA is directly affected by the ... -
Vector Extrapolation and Guided Filtering Methods for Improving Photoacoustic and Microscopic Images
Photoacoustic imaging is a noninvasive imaging modality which combines the bene ts of optical contrast and ultrasonic resolution. It is applied widely for monitoring tissue health conditions in the elds of cardiology, ... -
Versatile sensing platform using silicon photonic microring resonators
Measurement of refractive indices of liquids and thin films can play an important role for chemical analysis in the fields of healthcare and biomedical research. There is a requirement of miniaturized refractive index ... -
Visibility Visualization And Haptic Path Exploration
(2009-08-19)We propose a real-time system to visualize multi-viewpoint visibility information for terrains, supporting flight path optimization for view coverage or vehicle exposure to ground. A volume rendered display and a haptic ... -
Visual Flow Analysis and Saliency Prediction
(2017-12-16)Nowadays, we have millions of cameras in public places such as traffic junctions, railway stations etc., and capturing video data round the clock. This humongous data has resulted in an increased need for automation of ... -
Vulnerabilities And Adaptation To Environmental Regulations : Response Of Small And Medium Scale Firms In The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry
(2015-02-05)In the past few decades, there has been increasing concern towards the potential effects of industrial pollutants on our eco-system. Each country has developed and enacted stringent environmental regulatory standards to ... -
Water Market for Efficient Management of Water Resources in India
India sustains nearly 17% of the world's population but with only 4 % of global water resources. In India, the water sector faces enormous pressure due to increased demand resulting from population growth, industrialisation, ...
