A Platform for Handheld Ultrafast PCR
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is one of the most sensitive and specific diagnostic tools available today. Yet, it stands out of reach for many vulnerable populations because commercial solutions are expensive, bulky, ... -
Platform Technologies for In vitro Point-of- Care Diagnostics
In vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests are critical for making informed clinical decisions. These tests are performed outside the body using specimens such as blood, sputum, saliva, and urine. IVD tests are usually performed ... -
Point-of-Care High-throughput Optofluidic Microscope for Quantitative Imaging Cytometry
(2018-03-15)Biological research and Clinical Diagnostics heavily rely on Optical Microscopy for analyzing properties of cells. The experimental protocol for con-ducting a microscopy based diagnostic test consists of several manual ... -
Point-of-need analyte detection using dsDNA-templated fluorescent copper nanoparticles
The detection of various types of pollutants, toxins, and adulterants that are detrimental to the environment and human health is essential for monitoring air, water, soil, and food quality. Technologies that enable the ... -
Polarized Line Formation In Turbulent And Scattering Media
(2010-10-13)This thesis is devoted to improve our knowledge on the theory of polarized line formation in a magneto-turbulent medium, and in a scattering dominated magnetized medium, where partial redistribution (PRD) effects become ... -
Poly-Vinylidene Fluoride Based Vibration Spectrum Sensors and Energy Harvestors
(2017-12-07)Mechanical vibrations in large structures such as buildings, bridges, dams and critical frequencies in large machinery generally have low frequencies (100Hz-1000Hz). To monitor large areas of such structures we need huge ... -
Polymer Assisted Dispersion of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) and Structure, Electronic Properties of CNT - Polymer Composite
(2018-05-21)Carbon nanotubes possess various unique and interesting properties. They have very high thermal and electrical conductivities, high stiffness, mechanical strength, and optical properties. Due to these properties, CNTs are ... -

Positivity preservers forbidden to operate on diagonal blocks
The question of which functions acting entrywise preserve positive semidefiniteness has a long history, beginning with the Schur product theorem [Crelle 1911], which implies that absolutely monotonic functions (i.e., ... -
A Posteriori Error Analysis of Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Elliptic Variational Inequalities
(2018-02-15)The main emphasis of this thesis is to study a posteriori error analysis of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for the elliptic variational inequalities. The DG methods have become very pop-ular in the last two decades ... -
