Droplet Isothermal Amplification For Nucleic Acid Quantification
Nucleic acid quantification (NAQ) is extensively employed for gene expression analysis, monitoring viral loads, detecting rare or dysfunctional cells, and assessing treatment regimes. The gold standard, quantitative ... -
Droplet Microfluidics for Nucleic Acid Quantification and Single Cell Analysis
Droplet microfluidics provides controlled generation of monodispersed droplets of the order of a few picoliters in multiphase microfluidic systems. These droplets are employed as micro-reactors to conduct chemical/biochemical ... -
Dry Sliding Wear of Saffil Short Fibre Reinforced AZ91D Mg Alloy Composite
(2018-03-01)Magnesium alloys have emerged as a promising material for light-weighting due to their potential for higher weight saving compared with advanced high-strength steel, aluminium alloys and glass fibre reinforced polymer ... -
Dynamic Response Of A Satellite With Flexible Appendages And Its Passive Control
(2010-11-25)Most present day spacecrafts have large interconnected solar panels. The dynamic behavior of the spacecraft in orbit can be modeled as a free rigid mass with flexible elements attached to it. The natural frequencies of ... -
Dynamic State Estimation Techniques For Identification Of Parameters Of Finite Element Structural Models
(2010-04-12)The thesis outlines the development and application of a few novel dynamic state estimation based methods for estimation of parameters of vibrating engineering structures. The study investigates strategies for data fusion ... -
Dynamic Strain Aging and Creep in near-α Ti Alloy, IMI834
IMI 834 is a near- Ti alloy used in high temperature applications such as compressor discs and blades of aero engines. Titanium alloys including IMI 834 are known to exhibit dynamic strain aging (DSA) over the temperature ... -
Dynamics and Rheology of Non-colloidal Suspensions: Active and Soft Deformable Particles
Classical works on the suspensions of rigid spherical and ellipsoidal particles have been carried out by Einstein and Jeffery. However, in nature and industry, we come across materials that are either deformable or active. ... -
Dynamics And Stability Of A Launch Vehicle
(2011-07-08)Stability is an important criterion in the design and performance of launch vehicles. Present day launch vehicles have become more and more flexible due to the constraints of weight reduction, necessarily imposed for ... -
Dynamics and Stability of Multiple Jets in Geophysical Flows
(2018-04-18)The effect of rotation on the stability of multiple jets in planetary atmospheres is system- atically investigated. Typically in Jovian planetary atmospheres, multiple zonal jets have been observed and their morphology has ... -
Dynamics of Actuated and Interacting Swirl Premixed Flames in Model Gas Turbine Combustors
Lean premixed combustion is preferred in gas turbines because of the reduced (NOx) emissions. However, the combustors operating in lean premixed regime could suffer from problems like flame flashback, flame blowoff and ... -
Dynamics of Bubbles and Drops in the Presence of an Electric Field
(2018-07-16)The present thesis deals with two-phase electrohydrodynamic simulations of bubble and droplet dynamics under externally applied electric fields. We used the Coupled Level-Set and Volume-of-fluid method (CLSVOF) and two ... -
Dynamics Of Cricket Song Towards Nature-inspired MEMS Speakers
(2016-09-15)The clever designs of natural transducers are a great source of inspiration for man-made systems. At small length scales, there are many transducers in nature that we are now beginning to understand and learn from. Here, ... -
Dynamics of Droplets Under Support, Acoustic And/Or Ambient Flow Excitation
(2018-04-24)The first step on the way to understanding the complicated dynamics of spray is to study the behavior of isolated droplets. In many industrial and natural processes such as turbulent combustion, agricultural sprays, spray ... -
Dynamics Of Early Stages Of Transition In A Laminar Separation Bubble
(2010-04-12)This is an experimental and theoretical study of a laminar separation bubble and the associated transition dynamics in its early stages. The separation of a laminar boundary layer from a solid surface is prevalent in very ... -
