Intraseasonal Variability in Aquaplanet Configuration of Community Atmosphere Model
The Intraseasonal Oscillation (ISO) plays an important role to modulate deep convective activity in the tropical region. In this thesis, I aim to understand the role of land and warm oceans in ISO, using a general ... -
Intraseasonal Variability Of The Equatorial Indian Ocean Circulation
(Indian Institute Of Science, 2004-10)Climatological winds over the equatorial Indian Ocean (EqlO) are westerly most of the year. Twice a year, in April-May ("spring") and October-December ("fall"), strong, sustained westerly winds generate eastward equatorial ... -
Intraseasonal Variations In Sea Level Pressure And Association With Tropical Convection
(2010-07-19)This thesis deals with tropical intraseasonal variation (TISV) having time scales in 20-80 day range. Variations on this time scale have been observed to have profound influence on the weather and climate of the entire ... -
Inverse Material Design using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks and Ontology
Materials design is the process of tailoring materials with specific properties and performance characteristics to meet the particular needs of an application. It involves going back on the process-structure-property (PSP) ... -
Inverse Problems in Free Vibration Analysis of Rotating and Non-Rotating Beams and its Application to Random Eigenvalue Characterization
(2018-02-19)Rotating and non-rotating beams are widely used to model important engineering struc-tures. Hence, the vibration analyses of these beams are an important problem from a structural dynamics point of view. Depending on the ... -
Inverse problems solution using spectral finite element methods
Inverse problems are very challenging as these problems involve, finding the cause by analyzing the effects. In structural dynamics problems, the effects are normally measured in terms of dynamic responses in structures. ... -
Inverse Sensitivity Methods In Linear Structural Damage Detection Using Vibration Data
(2009-06-29)The thesis addresses the problem of structural damage detection using inverse sensitivity based methods. The focus here is on characterization with regard to identification, location, and, quantification of structural ... -
Investigating and Modelling the Microscopic Pedestrian Behavioral Dynamics in Mass Religious Gatherings
Pedestrian models that can realistically reproduce observed pedestrian movement dynamics are crucial in facility planning and pre-event planning of crowded situations. Despite the elaborate arrangements, crowd disasters ... -
Investigating Instability Mitigation through Flame Oscillator Synchronization
Stringent emission regulations for reducing NOx and soot emissions are driving gas turbine combustors manufacturers to adopt lean premixed combustion technology. However, the rich dynamics of turbulent, lean premixed ... -
Investigating Membrane Dynamics And Oligomerization Of Pore-forming Toxins Using Single-molecule Fluorescence Techniques
The biological membrane is a thin fluidic matrix composed of a lipid bilayer that forms the primary cellular barrier against the extracellular environment. The high-density of embedded proteins and glycosylated molecules ... -
Investigating Ocular and EEG parameters for pilot’s cognitive load estimation using flight simulators
Present day aircraft systems are becoming incredibly complicated with the advent of new technologies. As per International civil aviation organization’s safety report, failure of mechanical or any physical hardware has ... -
Investigating the role of mantle convection in affecting surface deformation and topography in the Indian plate and the India-Eurasia collision zone
The India-Eurasia collision zone has been a subject of various studies that have tried to explain the forces behind the high elevation and large scale continental deformation in this region. However, the relative contribution ... -
An investigation into the axial dipole field and mantle-induced heterogeneity in Earth
The Earth’s axial dipole field is generated by dynamo action in the planet’s outer core. It is understood from observations that the convection in the outer core is influenced by the lateral heterogeneity in the overlying ... -
Investigation Of Aerosol Characteristics Over Inland, Coastal And Island Locations In India
(2011-02-10)This thesis is based on measurements of aerosol optical and microphysical properties made at inland, coastal and island locations in India. Aerosol vertical distribution measurements have also been made both using surface ... -
