Anthropogenic factors such as climate change, land use land cover change and industrial and population growth can influence river water quality. Climate change affects water quality due to changes in stream temperature and ... -
Novel Neural Architectures based on Recurrent Connections and Symmetric Filters for Visual Processing
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been very successful due to their ability to extract meaningful information without any need for pre-processing raw data. First artificial neural networks were created in essence to ... -
Developing an Analytical Model to Predict Customer Churn for Customer Satisfaction (CS) and Customer Loyalty (CL) with respect to Automobile After Sales Service Centres (AASSC)
Customer Satisfaction has always been a key to success for any automobile after sales service centre (AASSC). To retain customer satisfaction (CS) and customer loyalty (CL), it is crucial for any AASSC to track the important ... -
Scanning Probe microscopy of van der Waals heterostructures and non-equilibrium magnetotransport in graphene
Graphene is a two-dimensional semimetal that has linear dispersion in energy-momentum space. When graphene is subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field, the dispersion is no longer linear, resulting in discrete energy ... -
Studies on Rotary Atomization
In rotary fuel injection systems, the fuel is atomized with the help of centrifugal force provided by the rotation of the injector. The rotational power can be directly provided by the shaft of a gas turbine, which can go ... -
Development of Solution Methodologies for Berth Allocation Problem with Discrete Berth Layout (DBL), Dynamic Arrival of Vessels (DAV), Deterministic Handling Time (DHT) of Vessels, Vessel Time Windows (VTW) and Vessel Eligibility Criteria (VEC)
The Container Terminal (CT) act as an important node in a supply chain industry that connects water and land for transportation of the containers carrying goods. A CT facilitates a vessel by allocating a berth for unloading ... -
Towards Design, Fabrication, Packaging, Integration, and Characterization of High-Performance MEMS Gyroscopes
MEMS vibratory gyroscopes are used to measure the angular rate of a body by sensing the Coriolis force induced motion of the sensing element vibrating in a rotating frame of reference. MEMS gyroscopes find use in a wide ... -
Communication Overlapping Krylov Subspace Methods for Distributed Memory Systems
Many high performance computing applications in computational fluid dynamics, electromagnetics etc. need to solve a linear system of equations $Ax=b$. For linear systems where $A$ is generally large and sparse, Krylov ... -
