Military applications of Fiber Bragg Gratings
Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are widely used in sensing technologies due to their compact size, distributed sensing capability, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and ability to measure various physical parameters. ... -
Low-Symmetric Water-Soluble Molecular Hosts for Molecular Separation and Optical Modulation
Nature employs the strategy of self-assembly in a remarkable way at every scale to construct numerous functional architectures. Various noncovalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, 𝜋-𝜋 stacking, and electrostatic ... -
Spectral Efficiency and Energy-efficiency Trade-off in Spectrum Sharing and RIS-based Wireless Systems
Spectral efficiency (SE) and energy-efficiency (EE) are the two key performance indicators for next-generation wireless systems. The SE specifies how much information can be communicated by the system per unit time and ... -
Existence and implications of positively curved metrics on holomorphic vector bundles
This thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part, we study interpolating and uniformly flat hypersurfaces in complex Euclidean space. The study of interpolation and sampling in the Bargmann-Fock spaces on the complex ... -
Determinants of protein stability and function inferred from saturation mutagenesis and next-generation sequencing
Proteins play a central role in all biological processes. Despite a similar underlying composition, they exhibit immense diversity in structures and functions, a subject of great interest. The research presented in this ... -
Studies on Iron and Cobalt Complexes for Cellular Imaging and Photodynamic Therapy
Redox-active transition metal-based prodrug complexes hold great promise as drug delivery systems (DDS) to circumvent drug related toxicity and enhance the overall efficacy of the cytotoxic agents. In this context, ... -
Comparison of Additive and Multiplicative Kinematics in Large Deformation Plasticity
The most widely used plasticity model in commercial finite element analysis software packages is the additive plasticity model. One of the more well-known alternatives to additive plasticity is multiplicative plasticity. ... -
Simulation of complex plastic flows in metal sliding and cutting
Metal manufacturing encompasses a broad range of mechanical transformation processes that shape native metal into useful forms. These processes generally involve the interaction of a hard tool with a specimen / workpiece, ... -
Plasticity Paradigms: Navigating Protein Conformational Dynamics and Phenotypic Variability in Biological Systems
The complex dynamics and responses of biological systems to environmental cues are shaped by their inherent plasticity and adaptability. This biological plasticity, operational at multiple levels - ranging from the molecular ... -
Design and Optimization of Cell-Free Systems: Channel Estimation, Duplexing Scheme, and Synchronization
Cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (CF-mMIMO) systems, where multiple access points (APs) jointly and coherently serve a large number of user-equipments (UEs) in a geographical area, offer multi-fold improvement ... -
Dynamics of Leidenfrost droplets on microtextured substrates
A liquid droplet placed on a heated substrate at temperatures significantly higher than the saturation temperature of the liquid levitates over a thin film of vapor and is termed as a Leidenfrost (LF) droplet. Leidenfrost ... -
First-principles Based Investigation of the Adsorption and Optoelectronic Properties of Polymorphic Borophene
The discovery of graphene has prompted interest in other two-dimensional materials, especially borophene, which is a single layer of boron atoms that forms a variety of crystal shapes. Borophene, the lightest member of the ... -
Deep mutational scanning to enhance immunogenicity and map antibody responses to HIV-1
Vaccines have proven effective against numerous viral diseases, yet the development of a successful vaccine for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) remains elusive. A key immunogen for vaccine design is the surface envelope ... -
Understanding design communication in internet-enabled remote synchronous collaborative design in the early stages of design
Remote synchronous collaborative design necessitates designers to carry out the design process using web-based real-time communication applications for collaboration with co-designers. Design communication involves exchanging ... -
Frequent Episode Mining: Efficient Discovery Algorithms and Significance Analysis
Frequent Pattern mining is a popular area of data mining, where the goal is to unearth interesting patterns that occur often in a given data. A pattern is a local structure that captures correlations and dependencies present ... -
Estimation of flashovers in the EHV/UHV lines on the east coast due to lightning produced by the Bay of Bengal cyclones
Electric Power is imperative for the modern world. The quality and reliability of the power supply can be impaired by several factors. Lightning is one such natural threat that disrupts the continuity of supply and can ... -
Audio-Visual association learning in Humans and Multimodal Networks
We easily learn audiovisual associations when we give visual objects their names. While humans easily learn the names of new objects while retaining previously learned information, deep neural networks forget old ... -
Unleashing the Potential of Nanomaterials in Organic Synthesis: QD-based Photocatalysis and AuNP-catalysed Cascade Rearrangement Reaction
The thesis titled Unleashing the Potential of Nanomaterials in Organic Synthesis: QD-based Photocatalysis and AuNP-catalysed Cascade Rearrangement Reaction explores innovative strategies for organic synthesis using ... -
On the Origin of Parasitic (Electro)Chemistry in Rechargeable Aprotic Metal-Oxygen Batteries
Aprotic metal-oxygen batteries, especially Li-O2 and Na-O2 batteries, could afford theoretical specific energies in excess of 1000 Wh/kg. However, the practical realization of the theoretically possible high specific ... -
Computational investigation of peripheral membrane protein "Pleckstrin homology domain" and its regulation
The peripheral membrane protein repertoire is around 25% composed of the Pleckstrin homology domain (PHD). PHD are component of the multidomain protein and plays the role of an adaptor in recruitment of these proteins ...
