Medical devices are used widely at every stage of disease diagnosis and treatment. To eradicate certain infectious diseases, the development of highly sensitive diagnostic tools and techniques is essential. The work reported ...

Sericulture is the art of rearing silkworms for silk production. The matured silkworms will be spinning cocoons as a protective shield before they undergo metamorphosis. These cocoons are immersed in boiling water to soften, ...

In this thesis work, a systematic quantitative study has been undertaken, on the performance of etched fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors in the investigation of surface molecular adsorption in real-time; it is shown that ...

In this thesis, we explore the four aspects of fiber Bragg grating sensors: mathematical modeling of Fiber Bragg Grating response/spectral characteristics, fabrication using phase mask, application and interrogation. ...

Optical microscopy is the simplest and the gold standard method adopted for the screening and subsequent diagnosis of various hematological and infectious diseases like malaria, sickle cell disease, tuberculosis etc. In ...

Environmental pollution and energy storage are two important issues in the modern day society. In this regard, Carbon nanomaterials have attained immense importance, due to their high surface area and electrical conductivity ...

Recently, the fields of energy conversion and storage have drawn great interests in the research community due to the wide range of practical applications in the society. Among them, photodetector (PD) and supercapacitor ...

UV light detection has a lot of applications including secured satellite communication, solar and celestial observation and biological imaging. Wide bandgap materials are used to sense UV light. SiC is an excellent material ...

Many scientific data sets are contaminated by noise, either because of data acquisition process, or because of naturally occurring phenomena. A first step in analyzing such data sets is denoising, i.e., removing additive ...
