Assessing the potential of stable calcium isotope ratios for paleotemperature reconstruction from studies of laboratory-precipitated inorganic carbonates and modern corals, fish otoliths and foraminifera
Determining paleo-seawater composition and temperature is critical for reconstructing Earth’s surface conditions through time and has major implications for understanding the origin and evolution of life on Earth. ... -
Assessment and Monitoring Of Hydrometeorological Variables And Extreme Conditions for Present and Future Climate Change Scenarios
Monitoring and assessment of Hydrological/hydrometeorological Variables (HVs) like streamflow, soil moisture, precipitation, and temperature are essential for various applications such as prediction/forecasting of natural ... -
Assessment of Direct Radiative Effects of Aerosols using Assimilated Datasets over the Indian Region
Uncertainties in estimation of radiative effects of aerosols, pose the primary challenge for the accurate climate impact assessment of aerosols. Especially, over the Indian region which is characterized by significant ... -
Assessment of Environmental Issues And Biodegradation Aspects of Current MSW Practices of Developing Country Metropolises - A Case Study of Bangalore
(2017-10-18)Municipal solid waste (MSW) production has significantly increased in the rapidly urbanizing developing world and also changed composition with increased decomposable organic fraction in MSW (OFMSW) and plastics content. ... -
Assessment of Leachate Characteristics and Geotechnical Properties of Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
(2018-01-04)Solid Waste Management is one of the essential services provided by local bodies to keep the urban areas clean. Often it is poorly rendered as it is unscientific, out-dated and inefficient. With the rapid increase in ... -
Assessment Of Seismic Hazard With Local Site Effects : Deterministic And Probabilistic Approaches
(2013-04-26)Many researchers have pointed out that the accumulation of strain energy in the Penninsular Indian Shield region may lead to earthquakes of significant magnitude(Srinivasan and Sreenivas, 1977; Valdiya, 1998; Purnachandra ... -
An Assessment Of The Simulation Of Monsoon And Inter Tropical Convergence Zone In Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Models
(2010-10-08)Monsoons and Intertropical Convergence Zones (ITCZ) exhibit variability at various temporal and spatial scales. The temporal scale of variability encompasses scales from the intraseasonal through interannual to interdecadal ... -
Asymptotic Analysis Of The Dispersion Characteristics Of Structural Acoustic Waveguides
(2010-04-12)In this work, we study the coupled dispersion characteristics of three distinct structural-acoustic waveguides, namely: -(1) a two-dimensional waveguide, (2) a fluid-filled circular cylindrical shell and (3)a fluid-filledelliptic ... -
Asymptotically Correct Dimensional Reduction of Nonlinear Material Models
(2018-07-30)This work aims at dimensional reduction of nonlinear material models in an asymptotically accurate manner. The three-dimensional(3-D) nonlinear material models considered include isotropic, orthotropic and dielectric ... -
At-site and Multisite Probabilistic Forecasting of Streamflow
Streamflow forecasts are very useful for a variety of applications such as flood warning, reservoir operation and water resources planning and management, especially in countries like India where streamflow can be highly ... -
Atomistic Simulation of Grain Boundary Effects on Cascade Damage in Vanadium
Advancements in fusion reactor technology has led to the construction of ITER and the realisation of fusion energy is closer than ever before. However, realisation of fusion energy critically depends upon breakthrough in ... -
Atomization characteristics of alternative aviation biofuels, Jet A-1, and water from a hybrid airblast atomizer
Studies on the atomization of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) from aircraft engine atomizers are essential to replace the present fossil type jet fuel to counter the rise in aviation-caused CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. ... -
Atomization Characteristics of Camelina and Jatropha-Derived Drop-in Aviation Biofuels
(2017-11-22)Biofuels in civil aviation is actively studied in recent years to identify potential alternative jet fuels to meet stringent environmental regulations imposed to tackle degraded air quality caused by fossil fuel combustion. ... -
Attenuation Characteristics and Seismicity Analysis of Himalayan Region with Linear Joint Time-frequency Analysis Techniques
About 59% of the land area of the Indian subcontinent has high chances of moderate to severe earthquakes, of which the Himalayas are the most seismically active. Regardless of the high seismic activity, the seismic network ... -
Autoflocculating Mixotrophic Algal Consortia Approach to Sustainable Wastewater Treatement
(2017-10-26)The phenomenon of rapid algal blooms in response to nutrient overloads has been adapted to treat synthetic domestic wastewater. Various algal consortia collected from several eutrophied water bodies were subject to high ... -
