Additive Manufacturing of Titanium Alloys for Orthopaedic applications: Processing-Microstructure-Property-Function Relationship
Metallic materials are used for osteosynthesis, and outcomes are expected to be complete healing. The latter part generally becomes unachievable when human subjects need complicated surgery. This situation generally requires ... -
Poleward propagating Tropical Intraseasonal Oscillations over the Indian Ocean
The mechanisms of poleward propagation of tropical intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs) are not well-understood. In this thesis, we investigate this issue for two such tropical ISOs over the Indian Ocean, namely, the Boreal ... -
Role of equatorial convection and moisture in the structure and propagation of Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillations
Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation (BSISO) is the dominant mode of tropical variability during Boreal summers. BSISO is manifested by northward propagation of the Maximum Cloud Zone (MCZ) from the warm equatorial ... -
Unlocking the Potential of Metal Ions in the Formation of Diverse Self-assembled Structures, Room Temperature Phosphorescence, and Sensing
Metal ions play indispensable roles across diverse processes, both biological and abiological, but their significance in the formation of complex self-assembled structures is only beginning to be understood. Sodium cholate, ... -
A geochemical and Ca-Sr-Nd isotopic study of glacial diamictites, loess and saprolites to understand crustal growth and silicate weathering
Earth is the only rocky planet in the Solar System with a compositionally evolved (felsic) continental crust. This incompatible element enriched layer is dominantly formed by extraction of melt from the upper mantle leading ... -
Symmetric real-closed subsets of affine Kac-Moody Lie Algebras
In this thesis, we study some important classification problems related to affine Kac--Moody Lie algebras. First, we address the combinatorial problem of classifying symmetric real-closed subsets of affine root systems ... -
Simulations and modeling of multiphase gas in the circumgalactic medium
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) plays a critical role in galactic evolution, serving as a complex gaseous environment that hosts most of a galaxy's baryonic matter and mediates intricate gas flows. This thesis presents ... -
Deciphering canonical and non-canonical role of splicing factor Prp16 in pathogenic yeast C. neoformans
RNA splicing is a ubiquitous process during eukaryotic gene expression, where non-coding introns are removed from primary transcripts to form functional mRNA. This vital process is carried out by the spliceosome, a large ... -
Multiscale Modeling of Molecular Sieve Membranes
Gases permeating through nanopores experience selective adsorption with sub-diffusive dynamics. In this work we investigate how the physicochemical properties of nanoporous membranes influence adsorption dynamics of gases, ... -
Effect of Interface Roughness on Mechanical Strength of Adhesively Bonded CFRP Joints- Experimental and Numerical Studies
Composite materials are well known for their superior properties such as specific strength, specific modulus, tailor-ability in different directions, fatigue resistance, durability, low weight, and low thermal expansion. ... -
Delivery Strategies for Dynamic Contents in Edge Caching Systems
In today's digital age, multimedia consumption is pervasive, driven by video-on-demand platforms, online social networks, and sensor networks. Whether it is the latest blockbuster movie on a streaming service or real-time ... -
Examining Climatic Response, Vulnerability and Adaptation in Rural Indian Dwellings to Climate Change: Case studies in three climatic zones
Buildings have evolved traditionally based on local resources and skills. They predominantly relied on passive climate-response mechanisms to provide indoor comfort. However, contemporary buildings, made primarily of bricks, ... -
Multifunctional Biomaterials based on Polyacrylamide/Hydroxyapatite for magnetic biosensing and Musculoskeletal Repair
The development of advanced nanocomposites for musculoskeletal repair represents a significant leap in biomedical engineering. These nanocomposites leverage the properties of hydrogels and hydroxyapatite (HAP) to address ... -
Engineering Chemical Environments for Efficient Thermoelectric and Heat Transport Materials using First-principles Calculation
To optimize the management of heat generated in various industrial processes, it is imperative to utilize materials that can proficiently transport heat energy and convert it into valuable electrical power. Conversion of ... -
Observational study of decayless waves across different scales in the solar corona
The long-standing problem of coronal heating focuses on probing sources that can continuously supply energy to sustain million-degree temperatures. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves play a crucial role because their dissipation ... -
Computation of Induced Eddy Currents in Axially Symmetric Geometries Using the Coupled Inductor Method
The computation of eddy currents is essential in applications including induction heating, magnetic levitation, and non-destructive testing. Usually, the numerical solution of partial differential equations derived from ... -
