The Crustal Evolution of Nilgiri Block, Southern India : A Study on Archean Tectonics and Crustal Growth
(2018-08-02)
The oldest dated rocks from the Acasta gneisses of the western Slave Province, Canada present an igneous age of ~4030 Ma. Following this the detrital zircons from the Jack Hills, Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, ...
A Non Resonant Piezoelectric Sensor for Mass, Force and Stiffness Measurements
(2018-09-04)
The word piezo in greek means \to compress". Piezoelectric sensors work on the principle of direct piezoelectric effect, where a mechanical input generates a corresponding electric charge. The advantages of these sensors ...
A Haptic Simulator for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy : Design Development and Experiments
(2018-09-04)
Endoscopy is an involved clinical practice requiring considerable skill in performing the procedure. Virtual reality together with haptics offers immersive, flexible, and cost-effective platform for training in endoscopic ...
Evaporation and Buckling Dynamics of Sessile Droplets Resting on Hydrophobic Substrates
(2018-09-04)
Droplet evaporation is ubiquitous to multitude of applications such as microfluidics, surface patterning and ink-jet printing. In many of the process like food processing tiny concentrations of suspended particles may alter ...
Investigations on Supersonic Flow in Miniature Shock Tubes
(2018-08-02)
The emerging paradigms of shockwave research have opened up new horizons for interdisciplinary applications. This has inevitably driven research towards studying the propagation of shockwaves in miniature shock tubes (tube ...
Hyaluronic Acid Based Biodegradable Polyelectrolyte Nanocapsules and Modified Protein Nanoparticles for Targeted Delivery of Anticancer Agents
(2018-08-02)
Targeted delivery aids in minimizing most of the drug-originated systemic toxic effects as well as improving the pharmacokinetic properties of anticancer therapeutics. Tumor targeting using hyaluronic acid (HA) as the ...
Improved Theory of Clathrate Hydrates
(2018-07-30)
The current theoretical understanding of thermodynamics of clathrate hydrates is based on the van der Waals and Plattew (vdWP) theory developed using statistical thermodynamics approach. vdWP theory has been widely used ...
Studies on Flexural Behaviour of Fly Ash-Lime-Gypsum Brick Masonry
(2018-08-09)
Varieties of masonry units such as burnt clay bricks, stones and concrete products are used for masonry construction. Even though these materials are durable, they are considered as unsustainable options because of the ...
Diffusion Controlled Growth of A15-Based Nb3Sn and V3Ga Intermetallic Compounds
(2018-08-09)
The A15-based Nb3Sn and V3Ga superconducting compounds are an integral part of synchrotrons and magnetic fusion reactor technology, especially where a magnetic field higher than 10 T is required, which lies beyond the limit ...
Experimental and Theoretical Studies of Liquid Drop Impact on Solid Surfaces Comprising Smooth and Texture Portions
(2018-08-10)
Solid surfaces featuring a spatial variation of surface wettability along particular directions on their surface, referred to as wettability gradient surfaces, are becoming increasingly important in practical applications ...
