Modelling The Transport Sector In India : A Study On Intermodal Substitution in Passenger Transport
Transportation infrastructure has long been recognized as the sine qua non of rapid economic development. As a predominantly agrarian economy with a vast and growing population spread over an extensive mass of land, India ... -
Global virtual teams : a capability centric model - degree of virtualness in capabilities and predictors
In recent years, globalization has undergone a significant transformation, evolving from the traditional movement of trade and capital to the dynamic exchange of labor and knowledge. This shift has been driven by cost and ... -
General purpose simulation tool for the performence analysisof ATM Switches
The Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) supports a wide range of audio, video, and data services within the same network. To cover the widest range of applications possible, B-ISDN should support both ... -
Some investigations on performance improvement of turbo decoders
Iterative turbo decoders have become popular in error correction because of their excellent Bit Error Rate (BER) characteristics, approaching Shannon limits. They have shown great potential in a variety of areas like ... -
Approach to the Analysis of Scheduling Policies for Guaranteeing Delay with Arbitrary Arrivals
Many real-tim e applications need a delay guarantee from th e network. For this scheduling algorithms are useful. Therefore, given a scheduling algorithm and a characterization of arriving traffic, it is im p o rtan t ... -
Investigation on architectural elements of network processors
Increasing network speeds have placed enormous burden on the processing requirements, and the processors are expected to carry out a variety of tasks. Network Processors (NP) is the blanket name given to the processors ... -
Improving quality of speech in VoIP using time-scale modification
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is an emerging technology that enables the transport of voice over the Internet. The quality of delivered voice is a critical issue due to packet loss and end-to-end delay variations ... -
Optimal mobile assisted offloading and network price differenciation
This thesis studies two problems related to cellular resource provisioning. The first problem deals with mobile-assisted data offloading, and the second problem analyzes network partitioning for differential pricing and ... -

Guest Induced Structural Transformations of Coordination Cages and their Role in Mediating Chemical Conversions
Enzymes utilize several non-covalent interactions to perform catalytic reactions within small cavities. Coordination driven self-assembly has been found to be the simplest approach for constructing artificial enzyme ... -
Synthesis of Novel (111) Facet Cubic Phase SnO2 Thin Films for Gas Sensing and Perovskite Solar Cell Applications
The tetragonal phase is a well-known phase of SnO2, which shows high stability under ambient conditions. SnO2 has been used in many applications, such as transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs), gas sensors, photocatalysis, ... -
Modeling, Design and Control of Power-Electronic-Actuated Electromagnetic Bearings
Many practical electrical machines, turbines, and compressors operate in speeds ranging from tens of thousands of rpm to hundreds of thousands of rpm, also handling a significant amount of power. While high-speed operation ... -
Evaluating Sustainable Transport Measures Towards Fulfilling Sustainable Development Goals
Transportation system generates significant negative externalities such as air pollution, traffic congestion, road‑traffic accidents, and substantial greenhouse‑gas emissions, that if left unaddressed, threaten to undermine ... -
Neural computations underlying attention and expectation
Our senses are inundated with an abundance of information at each instant. Attention and expectation are two cognitive processes that enable filtering this information to better navigate our environment. Importantly, ... -
A Capillary-fed Evaporative Microthruster for Micro/Nano Satellites
Small satellites offer a unique platform for short-term and low-cost communications and surveillance missions. They are essential for, scientific research, and technology demonstration due to their ability to provide rapid ...
