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 ... -
"Optical Diffraction By Micro Cylinder" - A Few Investigations
(2013-04-04)Micro-cylinders with the diameters spanning the 1-20 μm range are growing in importance, for realizing devices with new functionalities. For custom functionalities, their device-designs impose, tolerance-related constraints ... -
One Dimensional Transport And Prospects Of Structural Transitions In Ultrathin Metallic Wires
(2013-02-25)This thesis reports transport in ultrathin single crystalline nanowires of gold (∼ 2nm). These nanowires were fabricated using an oriented attachment process whereby nanoparticles of appropriate dimensions join in a linear ... -
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 ... -
Novel Methods To Interrogate Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors
(2013-02-14)A novel detection technique to estimate the amount of chirp in fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) is proposed. This method is based on the fact that reflectivity at central wavelength of FBG reflection changes with strain/temperature ... -
Effects Of Disorder On Physical Properties Of Selected Transition Metal Oxides
(2013-02-14)Disorder in materials often brings in new and exotic physical properties along with it. It is thus very important to study different kinds of disorder and their implications on various material properties. In this thesis, ... -
Numerical Study of Directionality of Ion Ejection In Axially Symmetric Ion Traps
(2013-02-13)In the normal operation of quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometers, the trapped ions are ejected symmetrically through both the upper (detector) and lower(source) endcap electrodes during mass selective boundary ejection ... -
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 ... -
Optical Tweezers To Probe And Manipulate Soft, Nano And Bio Systems
(2013-01-31)Statistical physics in soft matter systems, physical properties of bio-inspired systems and the mechanical manipulations of nano-systems have been studied using optical tweezers to form the basis of this doctoral Thesis. ... -
