Understanding the Performance and Characteristics of Electrical Materials Used in High-voltage Polymeric Insulators
High-Voltage (HV) outdoor insulation systems play a critical role in ensuring the reliable transmission and distribution of electrical power. In recent decades, polymeric composite insulators have increasingly replaced ... -
Numerical simulations of shock-induced bubble collapse in strain-rate-hardening and strain-rate-softening fluids
Cavitation bubbles subjected to incident shock or acoustic waves collapse violently and emit strong blast waves. The emitted blast waves are one of the principal reasons for thedamage that collapsing cavitation bubbles ... -
Use of Hexahedral Element,PN5X1,in Problems with Curved Boundaries
Finite element analysis is mainly developed to investigate the behaviour under load of structures with complex geometries, in which it is either difficult or impossible to obtain solutions using conventional methods. The ... -
Severe Plastic Deformation of Pure Magnesium by High Pressure Compressive Reciprocating Shear (HPCRS)
Magnesium and its alloys are attractive engineering materials primarily because of their low density of 1.73 g/cc. This makes them significantly lighter than widely used structural metals such as iron, titanium, and aluminium ... -
Prediction of flow duration curves in ungauged basins
The magnitude of streamflow in a river varies across sites depending on the geomorphological and climatic factors influencing hydrological processes in the contributing catchments. Knowledge of streamflow availability at ... -
Exploration of Perovskite and Phosphate Frameworks for Metal-ion and Metal-air Batteries
The history of batteries began in 1800 when Alessandro Volta invented the Voltaic Pile, the first battery made from alternating zinc and copper discs separated by salt-soaked cloth. This discovery demonstrated that chemical ... -
Comparative study of meristem specific functions of the rice transcription factor RFL for vegetative and reproductive development
In model laboratory plant Arabidopsis thaliana, LEAFY (a plant specific transcription factor) is reported to act as a floral organ identity gene. Whereas its ortholog (RFL) in rice, is reported to be involved in regulating ... -
Dynamics of magnetic spheroids in time periodic magnetic fields
Magnetic nano and micro particles are used for a lot of novel applications, like mixing in inherently laminar microscale systems, bio-rheological measurements, drug delivery, and proctored surgeries. A number of studies ... -
Design and Evaluation of Light-Responsive Vinyl Sulfone Proteasome Inhibitors for Targeted Cytotoxicity
Design and Evaluation of Light-Responsive Vinyl Sulfone Proteasome Inhibitors for Targeted Cytotoxicity The Proteasome is a multi-catalytic enzyme complex found in the nucleus and cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells. It is ... -
Designing immunogens that confer simultaneous protection against Influenza and SARS-CoV-2.
Embargo up to 6/4/2027 Respiratory viruses remain a persistent global health challenge due to their high transmissibility, rapid mutational dynamics, and seasonal resurgence. Among them, Influenza A virus (IAV) and ... -
Non-Hermitian Quantum Theory via Hermitian Operators: A Unified Framework with Application to Anyons
Non-Hermitian (NH) operators are more prevalent than we often recognize across a variety of domains. They naturally arise in diverse open system settings such as photonic lattices, non- equilibrium statistical mechanics, ... -
Engineering Embodied AI Agents to Understand the Neural Control of Movement
The quest to understand biological intelligence and to develop artificial intelligence (AI) is a long-standing academic pursuit. While past work in AI drew inspiration from neuroscience, AI models can also be used to help ... -
On Zak transform based OTFS modulation for high mobility channels
As we rapidly progress towards next generation wireless technologies, e.g., 6G and beyond, the air interface and modulation waveform must cater to diverse scenarios including high-mobility wireless environments. The ... -
The Bergman Kernel of Siegel Modular Forms: Bounds on the Sup-norm
The primary goal of this dissertation is to establish bounds for the sup-norm of the Bergman kernel of Siegel modular forms. Upper and lower bounds for them are studied in the weight as well as the level aspect. We get the ... -
Human-Wildlife Conflict Modeling and Mitigation: Integrating Agent-Based Simulations, Green Security Games, and Climate Change Analysis
Human-Wildlife Conflict (HWC) represents one of the most pressing challenges in biodiversity conservation, particularly in a changing climate, and requires innovative strategies for effective management. This thesis ... -
Enhancing Skill of Medium-Range Forecasts with Machine Learning based Multimodel Superensemble
Accurate medium-range weather forecasting is a longstanding challenge due to the chaotic nature of the atmosphere and the imperfect representation of physical processes. Classical Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) systems ... -
Metabolic and Mechanical Regulation of Intercellular Competition in the Peritoneal Metastatic Niche of Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy, with mortality primarily attributable to widespread peritoneal metastasis. This transcoelomic dissemination involves exfoliated cancer cells colonizing ... -
Suppressed Stops and Surreptitious Starts: G-Quadruplex-Guided Translation in the 3′ Untranslated Region
Several non-canonical translation events can lead to the generation of multiple protein isoforms from a single transcript, challenging the long-held notion that eukaryotic mRNAs are monocistronic. Advances in techniques ... -
