An Algorithmic Approach To Crystallographic Coxeter Groups
(2013-02-14)Coxeter group, named after H.S.M. Coxeter, is an abstract group that admits a formal description in terms of mirror symmetries. It turns out that the finite Coxeter groups are precisely the finite Euclidean reflection ... -
Development And Performance Study Of Nanostructured Metal Oxide Gas Sensor
(2015-01-07)The basic necessities to sustain life are – air, water and food. Although the harmful effects due to contaminated food or water are dangerous to life, these can be reduced/avoided by controlling the intake. Whereas, in ... -
Dilations, Functoinal Model And A Complete Unitary Invariant Of A r-contraction.
(2013-08-02)A pair of commuting bounded operators (S, P) for which the set r = {(z 1 +z 2,z 1z 2) : |z 1| ≤1, |z 2| ≤1} C2 is a spectral set, is called a r-contraction in the literature. For a contraction P and a bounded commutant ... -
Electrical Impedance Spectroscopic Studies On Bread Staling : Sensors And Instrumentation
(2013-04-15)Quality control is essential in food industry and efficient quality assurance is becoming increasingly important. The assessment of food quality still centers on its sensory properties (appearance, aroma and texture). Bread ... -
Fourier Analysis On Number Fields And The Global Zeta Functions
(2014-08-04)The study of zeta functions is one of the primary aspects of modern number theory. Hecke was the first to prove that the Dedekind zeta function of any algebraic number field has an analytic continuation over the whole plane ... -
Investigations On Certain Tellurium Based Bulk Chalcogenide Glasses And Amorphous Chalcogenide Films Having Phase Change Memory (PCM) Applications
(2014-09-04)Chalcogenide glass based Phase Change Memories (PCMs) are being considered recently as promising alternatives to conventional non-volatile Random Access Memories (NVRAMs). PCMs offer high performance & low power consumption, ... -
Investigations On Electrodes And Electrolyte Layers For Thin Film Battery
(2013-07-03)The magnificent development of on-board solutions for electronics has resulted in the race towards scaling down of autonomous micro-power sources. In order to maintain the reliability of miniaturized devices and to reduce ... -
Irreducible Representations Of The Symmetric Group And The General Linear Group
(2013-01-31)Representation theory is the study of abstract algebraic structures by representing their elements as linear transformations or matrices. It provides a bridge between the abstract symbolic mathematics and its explicit ... -
Low Temperature Charge Transport And Magnetic Properties Of MWNTs/MWNT-Polystyrene Composites
(2014-11-19)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been recognized as potential candidates for mainstream device fabrication and technologies. CNTs have become a topic of interest worldwide due to their unique mechanical and electrical properties. ... -
Magnetisation, Phases & Phase Transitions in Frustrated and Unfrustrated XY Model
(2018-02-23)Through our whole work we study the XY model with all its entirety, a particular spin model where spins are confined in a plane. We try to bring out a good understanding of this model with all different types of phases and ... -
Novel Diffraction Based Deflection Profiling For Microcantilever Sensor Technology
(2015-02-04)A novel optical diffraction based technique is proposed and demonstrated to measure deflections of the order of ~1nm in microcantilevers (MC) designed for sensing ultra-small forces of stress. The proposed method ... -
