Generalized local projection stabilized finite element methods for boundary value problems
The primary goal of this thesis work is to study a priori analysis based on the generalized local projection stabilized (GLPS) finite element methods for the system of linear partial differential equations of first and ... -
Service quality of Intercity Bus transport
Public transportation has become one of the cornerstones for country’s infrastructure development. Road transportation is one of the important means of public transportation. Within road transportation, a large number of ... -
Psychographic Segmentation of Retail Banking Customers of Karnataka (India) - An Exploratory Study
Post Liberalization, India has witnessed a good growth rate in economy. The GDP has grown by in the range of 7- 8 percentage annually. The job prospects in India have increased phenomenally due domestic business climate ... -
Investigations on Joule Heating and Associated Effects during Liquid Dielectrophoresis of Aqueous Droplets
Liquid dielectrophoresis (L-DEP) is an electrokinetic phenomenon in which a dielectric liquid with higher permittivity than the surrounding medium, when placed in a non-uniform electric field, moves towards the regions of ... -
Fabrication of suspended Graphene microchannels and its application in studying graphene-liquid interface
Graphene is a single layer of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms having extraordinary mechanical, optical, and electrical properties. These exotic properties make them attractive for applications in all fields of science and ... -
An Exploratory Study on Financial Resources, Scaling, and Performance of Social Enterprises in India
The limitations of the government and current economic system deprived socio-economic opportunities to certain sections of the communities. The non-profit sector, expected to fill this gap, has been afflicted with fiscal ... -
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”. ... -
On understanding the role of V addition in design and development of high specific strength γ'(L12)-strengthened Co-base superalloys
Ni-based superalloys with excellent mechanical, thermal and oxidation resistance properties have great demand in energy applications. Over the time, varied compositions of Ni-based superalloys have been utilized for the ... -
Finite Element Method based Model Order Reduction for Electromagnetics
Model order reduction (MOR) refers to the process of reducing the size of large scale discrete systems with the goal of capturing their behavior in a small and tractable model known as the reduced order model (ROM). ROMs ... -
Engineering Graphene Oxide Surface Chemistry and Investigating Its Effect on The Physicochemical and Biological Properties
In the current study, systematic tuning of oxidation degree of GO has been explored and a two-step methodology for engineering GO surface chemistry was successfully developed. The investigation of the effects of oxidation ... -
Heterogeneous Integration of Thin-film Germanium on Silicon and Steel
Integration of germanium (Ge) on low cost substrates such as silicon and steel open several applications such as low cost III-V photovoltaics, beyond silicon CMOS and optoelectronics applications. However, growth of germanium ... -

Phase Change Memory (PCM) is a recently developed non-volatile memory technology that is expected to provide an attractive combination of the best features of conventional disks (persistence, capacity) and of DRAM (access ... -
Continuous-Wave Supercontinuum Generation using Cascaded Raman Fiber Lasers
This thesis explains architecture and techniques to generate high power, CW supercontinuum laser sources using standard Silica fibers as the nonlinear medium, pumped using high power CW Yb doped fiber lasers. Unlike the ... -
Improving Data Center Utilisation by Reducing Fragmentation
Virtualization enables better server consolidation and utilisation compared to stand-alone servers running a single workload. This enabled wide-spread cloud adoption among many organizations. Data center utilisation is ... -
Microwave synthesis of superparamagnetic cobalt-ferrite thin films for RF CMOS applications
In the era of 5G technologies, the emphasis is on getting all the devices, active or passive to work in high frequencies. Higher efficiency chips can be obtained by combining both the active and passive devices on a single ... -
Steady state properties of discrete and continuous models of nonequilibrium phenomena
The understanding of nonequilibrium phenomena, of fundamental importance in statistical physics, has great implications for many physical, chemical, and biological systems. Such phenomena are observed almost everywhere ... -
A Divide and Conquer Framework For Graph Processing in Distributed Heterogeneous Systems
In many fields of science and engineering graph data structures are used to represent real-world information. As these graphs scale in size, it becomes very inefficient to process these graphs on a single core CPU using ... -
