Development of Optimal Distributed Resource Utilisation Approaches Under Connectivity Constraints for Energy Internet
The global transition to sustainable power generation has driven a rapid increase in Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), especially from renewable sources. When integrated with energy storage, these localised generation ... -
Characterizing the viral factors and host determinants that control Dengue virus infection and pathogenesis
Background – Dengue virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that is the causative agent for dengue fever, which progresses to dengue shock syndrome in many patients. It is estimated that around 390 million dengue infections ... -
Diastreoselective addition of Alkylidene succinimides to non-racemic sulfinimines; Towards the total synthesis of nakadomarin A
The thesis titled “Diastereoselective addition of alkylidene succinimides to non-racemic sulfinimines: Towards the total synthesis of (+)-nakadomarin A” describes a systematic study on the addition of sodium enolates of ... -
Numerical studies of some laminar boundry layer flows using finite difference methods
This thesis presents some investigations on certain problems in laminar incompressible and compressible boundary layers using finite?difference methods. It consists of an introductory chapter and three main chapters. Each ... -
Mathematical theory of the propagation of multidimensional shock and nonlinear waves
This thesis embodies the results of our investigation on a mathematical discussion of hyperbolic nonlinear waves under the high frequency approximation. It is divided into four chapters, of which Chapter I is the introduction ... -
Unsteady laminar boundary layer studies through finite difference methods
This thesis embodies a study of some problems in unsteady laminar compressible and incompressible boundary layer theory. The thesis is divided into five chapters. Each chapter contains a brief survey of the literature relevant ... -
ome boundary value problems for helmholtz equation arising in diffraction theory
In recent years, the problem of wave diffraction by semi?infinite obstacles with edges, in particular half plane and strip under mixed boundary conditions (Dirichlet on the top and Neumann condition on the bottom surface) ... -
Convergence of state distributions in multi-type Bellman-Harris and Crump Mode-Jagers branching processes
Athreya and Kaplan proved recently that the age distribution in a one?type supercritical Bellman–Harris process converges with probability one to a deterministic distribution, assuming either a j log j hypothesis on the ... -
Numerical studies of rotating laminar boundary-layer flows
This thesis presents numerical studies on certain problems in steady and unsteady laminar boundary?layer flows involving rotation of either the fluid or the body. It consists of four chapters: the first is introductory, ... -
Studies on graph grammars : comparison of various models and applications to graph theory
In this short chapter we shall raise a few questions whose answers could throw further light on the theory of graph grammars. When the notion of contextual condition was introduced by Rosenfeld, the grammars were constructed ... -
Small amplitude phenomena in conducting fluids and transport properties of plasmas
Abstract not available -
Nonlinear mode theory of shear flow development
The major part of this thesis is concerned with the description of a new technique for analysing the development of shear layers (particularly in free flows). A principal feature of this method is the expansion of the ... -
On the migration of maximum tropical rain fall zone in a simple climate model
The aim of this thesis is to understand the seasonal migration of the maximum precipitation zone in the tropics (ITCZ) using a simple climate model. An attempt is also made to extract at least phenomenological answers to ... -
Effect of convex transverse surface curvature on transition and other properties of incompressible boundary layer.
A study of the incompressible boundary layer with transverse surface curvature has been made with particular reference to transition from laminar to turbulent flow. Calculations based on linearised hydrodynamic stability ... -
On Policy Gradients, Momentum, and Learning with Adversaries: Algorithms and Convergence Analysis
This thesis comprises five works, organized into three parts: the first focuses on average-reward Reinforcement Learning (RL), the second on distributed learning under adversaries in heterogeneous and asynchronous setups, ...
