Modeling of Solar Radiation Management : A Comparison of Simulations using Reduced Solar Constant and Stratospheric Aerosols
(2017-11-22)The climatic effects of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) geoengineering have been often modeled by simply reducing the solar constant. This is most likely valid only for space sunshades and not for atmosphere and surface ... -
Modeling of the Haltere-A Natural Micro-Scale Vibratory Gyroscope
(2018-06-05)Vibratory gyroscopes have gained immense popularity in the microsystem technology because of their suitability to planar fabrication techniques. With considerable effort in design and fabrication, MEMS (Micro-electro-mec ... -
Modeling Of Transport Phenomena In Arteries
(2013-05-23)Atherosclerosis is an arterial disease that occurs due to the build-up of lipids, cholesterol and other substances in the arterial wall, collectively called plaque, leading to narrowing of the vessel lumen and, in time, ... -
Modeling Salinity Impact on Ground Water Irrigated Turmeric Crop
(2018-04-18)Soils in irrigated fields are impacted by irrigation water quality. Salts in the irrigation water may accumulate in the soil depending on amount of leaching, the quality of water and type of ions present. Salinity is an ... -
Modeling the Dependence Structure of Hydroclimatic Extremes
Analysis of extremes in a complex interacting hydroclimatic system is challenging due to rarity of events, small sample size, poor state of data or missing data, lack of statistical tools for analyzing observed changes and ... -
Modeling The Population Dynamics Of Erythrocytes To Identify Optimal Drug Dosages For The Treatment Of Hepatitis C Virus Infection
(2016-04-28)The current treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection – combination therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin – elicits sustained responses in only ~50% of the patients treated. Greater cumulative exposure ... -
Modelling And Analysis Of Fish Inspired Ionic Polymer Metal Composite Flapping Fins
(2014-03-03)Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMC) are a new class of smart materials that have attractive characteristics such as muscle like softness, low voltage and power consumption, and good performance in aqueous environments. ... -
Modelling and Experimental Studies on Dynamic Behaviour of Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors
lectrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) can store and deliver electrical energy at high power density with long cycle life, and can absorb peak charge/discharge loads. EDLCs can be used with batteries to insulate ... -
Modelling and optimization of novel therapies for HIV and hepatitis C virus infections
Curing infections by HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) have remained a challenge for a long time due to their efficient ways of evading host immune responses and therapies. They do so by rapidly mutating their genomes, which ... -
Modelling Evapotranspiration from Satellite Data using semi-empirical Models : Applications to the Indian Subcontinent
(2018-05-22)The major aim of this work is to develop a framework for the estimation of Evapotranspiration (ET) over the Indian landmass using remote sensing (RS) datasets in a repeated and consistent manner with improved spatial ... -
Modelling How Refractoriness to Interferon Compromises Interferon-Free Treatment of Hepatitis C Virus Infection
(2018-05-25)Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection globally affects 130-150 million people. It causes both acute and chronic infections. Due to the severe side effects and low success rates of interferon based treatments, which formed the ... -
Modelling Hydrology of Upper Cauvery Basin Considering Changes in Climate and Landuse/Landcover
In the recent times, changes are noted in hydrological processes (e.g., surface runoff, lateral flow, infiltration, return flow, evapotranspiration, soil moisture and streamflow) in different river basins of the world due ... -
Modelling Of Precipitation In Reverse Micelles
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-09-20)Nanoparticles have important applications in ceramics, metal catalysts, semiconductors etc. They are normally required to be of small size (~ nm) and monodisperse. The aim of the present work is to model the formation of ... -
Modelling Of Single And Multiple Recharge Wells In Layered Aquifers
(2009-05-06)Artificial recharge and rainwater harvesting methods are being applied for mitigating effects of groundwater depletions in severe over-drafting urban and rural situations. When the aquifer to be recharged is situated at ... -
Modelling Simulation and Statistical Studies of Primary Fragmentation of Coal Particles Subjected to Detonation Wave
(2018-08-11)Coal is likely to remain an important energy source for the next several hundred years and hence advances in coal combustion technologies have major practical impact. Detonation combustion of coal initiated by a plasma ... -
Modelling spatial and non-spatial conflicts across multiple design domains
This thesis aims to detect spatial and non-spatial conflicts in product design arising out of requirements in different design domains. Handling such conflicts requires modelling the non-geometric knowledge outside the ... -
Modular Kinematic Analysis Of Planar Linkages
(2009-04-24)This thesis has developed an efficient methodology for automatic kinematic analysis of planar linkages using the concept of modular kinematics. Unlike conventional general purpose kinematic analysis packages where each joint ...
