A Learnable Distillation Approach For Model-agnostic Explainability With Multimodal Applications
Deep neural networks are the most widely used examples of sophisticated mapping functions from feature space to class labels. In the recent years, several high impact decisions in domains such as finance, healthcare, law ... -
A Unified Modeling Approach for Design and Performance Improvement of Triple Active Bridge Converter
Triple Active Bridge (TAB) converter is a multi-port DC-DC converter. This converter is an extension of the popular Dual Active Bridge converter. It features desirable traits of the DAB converter, such as high power density, ... -
Smart textiles with Tuneable Architectures for Multifunctional Applications
Innovations in electronics and the rapid developments in communication systems have been unprecedented and made life easier. One such advancement is wireless electronics, where gadgets operate in gigahertz frequencies – ... -
Structural signatures of relaxation mechanisms in glass forming and devitrifying colloidal suspensions
Connecting macroscopic behavior of matter to the microscopic interactions is the central goal of condensed matter physics. Yet, achieving such a challenging goal in atomic and molecular systems would require tracking all ... -
Urolithin-A mitigates synaptic dysfunctions associated with epilepsy through VDAC1 inhibition: A novel therapeutic approach
Urolithin-A mitigates synaptic dysfunctions associated with epilepsy through VDAC1 inhibition: A novel therapeutic approach Epilepsies are a group of neurological disorders with a prevalence of 70 million people worldwide ... -
Coalescence of Polymeric Droplets
Coalescence is an energy minimization phenomenon in which two equilibrium droplets undergo a transition to attain a final equilibrium state, i.e., a coalesced state. Coalescence begins with a point contact between the ... -
Phonon anomalies in pyrochlores and 2D materials under extreme conditions: Insights from Raman spectroscopic studies
In solids, electrons do not behave as separate particles but instead interact intensely to form quasiparticles, which couple with other quasiparticles such as phonon, plasmon, and exciton to generate emergent quantum ... -
Characterization of Interconnections in Smart-X Applications
Smart-X applications are realized by interconnecting several objects to achieve real-time capability by improving safety, reliability, and efficiency. These interconnections can be broadly classified as physical connections ... -
Experimental and Numerical Studies on an Automobile Air Conditioning System with Refrigerants R134a, R1234yf and R1234ze(E)
The HydroFluoroCarbons (HFCs) synthesized as alternatives to ChloroFluoroCarbons (CFCs), though friendly to tratospheric ozone, have high Global Warming Potential (GWP). Despite this, numerous applications currently employ ... -
Characterization of XRN2-mediated microRNA turnover mechanism and its pathophysiological significance in eukaryotes
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, small non-coding RNAs that are extensively involved in the posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. Comprehensive studies on miRNA expression and function have ... -
Gaze Estimation in the Wild - Models, Datasets and Usability
Human eye gaze estimation research has numerous applications in diverse fields from Human Computer Interaction (HCI) to aviation. Non-intrusive video oculography based methods are classified into two categories based on ... -
Sub-Newtonian Coalescence in Polymeric Fluids
Droplet coalescence is a thermodynamic equilibration process driven by surface energy minimization. The physics of this phenomenon is characterized by the temporal evolution of a liquid bridge formed upon the proximate ... -
Data Driven Stabilization Schemes for Singularly Perturbed Differential Equations
This thesis presents a novel way of leveraging Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to aid conventional numerical techniques for solving Singularly Perturbed Differential Equation (SPDE). SPDEs are challenging to solve with ... -
Data-efficient Deep Learning Algorithms for Computer Vision Applications
The performance of any deep learning model depends heavily on the quantity and quality of the available training data. The generalization of the trained deep models improves with the availability of a large number of ... -
Influence of surface topography on wear and debris morphology of polymers
The artificial knee and hip joints comprise a polymer-metal tribological system where soft polymers slide against hard metallic surfaces. When a polymer slides on it, the micro hard asperities remove the polymers in the ... -
Integrated Optic Waveguide Bragg Grating Devices in Silicon-on-Insulator and Their Applications: Design, Analysis and Fabrication
Integrated Waveguide Bragg Gratings are on-chip counterparts of Fiber Bragg Gratings. The working principles are similar, and functionalities could be explained with Coupled Mode Theory. Periodic index contrast required ... -
Aspects of Holography and Quantum complexity
We begin with the Principle of holography and the AdS/CFT correspondence. We begin our investigations by considering the Principle of Holography, at the level of codimension-1 screens. We argue that the mechanism of encoding ... -
Inclusive and Eye-Gaze Controlled Human-Robot Interaction for Persons with Severe Speech and Motor Impairment
Most individuals perform various activities of daily living without having to con sciously think and plan about them. People talk, cook their food, move around the house, drive to their workplace and schools, play sports, ... -
Improved approximation bounds on maximum edge q coloring of dense graphs
The anti-Ramsey number ar(G,H) with input graph G and pattern graph H, is the maximum positive integer k such that there exists an edge coloring of G using k colors, in which there are no rainbow subgraphs isomorphic to ... -
