Automatic Compilation Of MATLAB Programs For Synergistic Execution On Heterogeneous Processors
(2014-05-19)MATLAB is an array language, initially popular for rapid prototyping, but is now being in-creasingly used to develop production code for numerical and scientific applications. Typical MATLAB programs have abundant data ... -
Availability, Allocation and Sharing of Water in a River Basin
(2018-06-18)The economic growth and the increase in population has led to an increased demand for water for various purposes such as domestic consumption, irrigation, industrial use, power generation, navigation, recreation, and ... -
Bacterial cellular heterogeneity in inducible gene expression and drug susceptibility
Biological processes are inherently noisy, and such stochasticity can result in significant cell to cell variability in isogenic bacterial populations. Functionally, cellular heterogeneity can have significant impact on ... -
Balancing Money and Time for OLAP Queries on Cloud Databases
(2017-12-16)Enterprise Database Management Systems (DBMSs) have to contend with resource-intensive and time-varying workloads, making them well-suited candidates for migration to cloud plat-forms { specifically, they can dynamically ... -
Band-matched transport layers and intrinsically stable perovskite solar cells for application to perovskite Si tandem cells
Hybrid perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells offer low-cost alternatives to the commercially established silicon solar cells. In this thesis, we present the material and device optimizations of the subcells that can be ... -
Barrier Coverage using UAVs and Camera Sensors
With advancements in camera sensor technology, camera sensor networks are increasingly utilized for border surveillance. UAVs equipped with downward-facing cameras also serve as effective sensors, and their features, ... -
Batch Processsor Scheduling - A Class Of Problems In Steel Casting Foundries
(2010-09-15)Modern manufacturing systems need new types of scheduling methods. While traditional scheduling methods are primarily concerned with sequencing of jobs, modern manufacturing environments provide the additional possibility ... -
Bayesian Accelerated Life Testing of Series Systems
(2018-01-18)Consider life testing of J-component series systems that are subjected to stress levels that are steeper than that at normal usage condition. The objective of performing such life tests, commonly known as Accelerated Life ... -
Benchmarking and Modelling the Sustainability of Urban Mobility System : A Case Study of Bangalore City, India
Indian cities have dealt with the problem arising from the discordance between urbanization due to rapidly growing economies and the demand for increasing mobility services and infrastructure. However, they have failed to ... -
Benchmarking and Modelling the Sustainability Transition of National Electricity System : A Case Study of India
(2018-02-28)We have dealt with the problem arising from the incongruity between the evolution of the electricity system for meeting the objectives of economic growth, and the human/societal requirements of inclusive and affordable ... -
Benchmarking and Scheduling Strategies for Distributed Stream Processing
(2018-08-20)The velocity dimension of Big Data refers to the need to rapidly process data that arrives continuously as streams of messages or events. Distributed Stream Processing Systems (DSPS) refer to distributed programming and ... -
Biodegradable Polymers for Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering
(2018-06-29)Regeneration, a spontaneous response of bones in response to injuries, infections and fractures, is severely compromised in certain clinical circumstances. Unfortunately, several shortcomings are associated with the current ... -
Bioengineering strategies to model and modulate immune cells
Optimal activation of immune cells is necessary to elicit a protective response against pathogens and foreign objects. In dysregulated immune systems, cells are aberrantly activated or exhausted. Understanding biochemical ... -
Biologically Inspired Electronic Nose: Innovations and Developments
The olfactory system is a highly efficient and complex network for detecting and interpreting a wide range of chemical signals. It consists of specialized sensory cells located in the nasal mucosa that detect odor molecules ... -
Biophysics of focal adhesion and cytoskeletal remodeling under fluid shear
Mechanosensors play a vital role in how cells respond to external forces, impacting cell-substrate adhesions through integrin clustering and focal adhesion formation associated with actomyosin contractility. Adhesions ... -
Bipartite pore-forming toxin YaxAB: understanding pore formation using live-cell imaging
Bacteria employ a variety of strategies to invade and colonise the host tissue, including the secretion of toxins to overcome the cellular barrier. Bacterial pore-forming toxins (PFTs) disrupt the lipid bilayer by forming ... -
