Application of least squares kinetic upwind method to strongly rotating viscous flows
The Least Squares Kinetic Upwind Method (LSKUM) is a node-based method. Ghosh and Deshpande, as well as Ramesh & Deshpande, have demonstrated that LSKUM works on any type of grid—structured, unstructured, Cartesian, Chimera, ... -
Application of Mesoporous Silica nanoparticles as a nano-carrier for the treatment of HCV and HIV infections
Carrier-mediated drug delivery systems have emerged as a powerful tool for the treatment of various diseases, especially, in the field of viral infection. The therapeutic index of traditional and novel anti-virals are ... -
Application Of Polynomial Reproducing Schemes To Nonlinear Mechanics
(2011-03-15)The application of polynomial reproducing methods has been explored in the context of linear and non linear problems. Of specific interest is the application of a recently developed reproducing scheme, referred to as the ... -
Application of Randomized Algorithms in Path Planning and Control of a Micro Air Vehicle
(2018-06-25)This thesis focuses on the design and development of a fixed wing micro air vehicle (MAV) and on the development of randomized sampling based motion planning and control algorithms for path planning and stabilization of the ... -
An Application of Resonant Column along with Bender Elements Tests for Assessing Dynamic Properties and Liquefaction Potential of Sand
For determining the response of foundation soils subjected to different kinds of vibrations emerging from (i) an occurrence of an earthquake, (ii) movements of trains over railways tracks, (iii) running of vehicles over ... -
Applications of Advanced CAE Methodologies to Orthopaedic Implant and Vehicle Occupant cum Pedestrian Safety Countermeasure Design
In the present work, experimental and numerical investigations into the load-displacement responses of a human lumbar Truncated Vertebral Unit (TVU) under quasi-static and impact loading conditions have been carried out ... -
An Approach Towards Inactivation of Susceptible and Antibiotic Resistant Bacterial Contamination using Novel Photo–(electro)-catalysts
Water in most rivers in India does not meet the standards for drinking and even for bathing purposes due to the high concentration of coliforms, organic and inorganic contaminants. Overuse, uncontrolled release and careless ... -
Approaches to Regional Analysis of Hydro-Meteorological Processes and Extremes
Regional analysis of hydrometeorological variables (e.g., evapotranspiration, precipitation), hydrological processes (e.g., runoff), and their extremes (e.g., drought, floods) is essential for various applications. The ... -
Aqueous Phase Oxidation Of Sulfur Dioxide In Stirred Slurry Reactors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-18)Air pollution by sulfur dioxide is of great concern due to its harmful effects on environment, human beings, fauna and flora. Fossil-fuel-fired power plants are one of the major sources of SO2 emissions. Typically the ... -
Arabian Sea High Salinity Core in the Bay of Bengal
The Summer Monsoon Current (SMC) advects high salinity water from the Arabian Sea into the Bay of Bengal (BoB) during the summer monsoon. This high salinity water subducts and enters the BoB as a subsurface high salinity ... -
Architecting and Developing Sensors for Environmental Monitoring
Pollution arising from inorganic and organic contaminants is a major environmental hazard that needs imperative attention. Anthropogenic and natural deposition of heavy metal ions constitute a significant component of this ... -
Architecting Conjugated Molecules for Band Gap Engineering & Photostability
Organic photovoltaic (OPV) modules are flexible, light weight, transparent and thin compared to other emerging photovoltaic technologies, making them well-suited for applications ranging from solar windows to fabrics. A ... -
Artificial Neural Network Approach For Characterization Of Acoustic Emission Sources From Complex Noisy Data
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-12-14)Safety and reliability are prime concerns in aircraft performance due to the involved costs and risk to lives. Despite the best efforts in design methodology, quality evaluation in production and structural integrity ... -
Assesment Of Air Quality And Anthropogenic Aerosol Fraction Over India Using Observations And Model
(2014-12-11)Air quality degradation is emerging to be an issue of major concern in India. Recent investigations have shown that anthropogenic aerosols have significant impact on climate as well as on health. In fourth assessment report ... -
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. ... -
Assessing the state of the glaciers in the Parvati basin of the Himalaya under a changing climate
The Himalayan cryosphere is one of the most climate-sensitive components of the Earth's system, acting as a critical water tower for millions of people across South Asia. Snow and glacier melt from this region contribute ... -
