Development of Fully Data Driven Novel Methods for Improving the micro-Computed Tomography Image Quality for Digital Rock
The Digital Rock workflow is an emerging framework utilizing advances in imaging technologies and state-of-the-art image processing algorithms to construct digital models of reservoir rocks. These digital models become ...
Insights into signalling and crosstalk in two-component signalling systems of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), has very recently reclaimed the position of the leading cause of deaths in humans from a single infection agent. This suggests a dire need to ...
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 ...
Investigation of cell membrane dynamics: A potential marker for lipid response towards membrane-active proteins and peptides
The cell membrane is made up of lipids and proteins held together with intermolecular hydrophobic/hydrophilic interactions. These physical non-covalent interactions help in maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane, ...
A study on Expatriate's adjustment stressors and coping strategies
Adjustment to the cross-cultural environment is inherently taxing for expatriates.
Researchers have investigated the implications of cultural stress on occupational stress.
However, gaps remain, as follows: (i) There are ...
Self-organisation of bacteria through swarming
Swarming is a unique example of social behaviour in bacteria. They represent the collective
effort of bacteria to translocate on moist substrates. The bacteria extract fluid from the
substrate through osmosis and produces ...
Power Combining of Raman Fiber Lasers
Fiber lasers have become ubiquitous in industry and research for their numerous attractive properties that other lasers such as solid state lasers lack. However, conventional doped fiber lasers, though providing high power, ...
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 ...
An Empirical Study of Transformative Learning Resulting Due to Profession Change
A career choice may emerge or be adopted due to personal interest or to balance a range of factors like familial influences, educational qualifications and economic considerations. Once a choice has been made, some follow ...
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 ...
