Interaction Design and Distraction Detection of Drivers in Automobiles
In recent times, usage of electronic devices inside cars while driving has increased due to the introduction of new technologies to keep drivers comfortable and entertained. Systems like satnav ease out the navigation by ... -
Optimization of Li Storage in Graphitic Materials through Tuning of Electronic Structures
In the current scenario of global warming, pollution and the very limited resources of fossil fuels, Li ion batteries show great promises to fulfil the energy demand of modern civilization without harming the environment. ... -
Investigation of Weak Molecular Interactions by Multinuclear NMR Spectroscopic Techniques and Theoretical Computations
The work reported in this thesis contains extensive studies carried out to investigate the weak molecular interactions in small organic molecules by utility of multinuclear and multidimensional NMR spectroscopic techniques ... -
Wearable Sensors using Solution Processed 2D Materials
Wearable sensors, as the name implies, are devices that can be donned onto the body in order to continuously detect, monitor and analyze various signals generated by the subject and the immediate surroundings. Applications ... -
Functional Oxides for Oxygen Scavenging Applications
The aim of this experimental study is to develop oxide-based materials for oxygen enrichment/separation from air through pressure/temperature swing sorption. Production of commercial oxygen is conventionally achieved ... -
Electric Field Assisted Self-Healing (eFASH)
Circuit failure due to the open faults in the interconnect is the most common problem regarding the reliability of electronic systems. This is particularly true for large-area electronic systems such as display, image ... -
Fabrication and Characterization of Multilayer MoS2 Coated Etched Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors and Side-hole Packaged Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors with Enhanced sensitivity for Different Applications
In summary, MoS2 coated, etched FBG sensors have been used for various applications. Firstly, the strain sensitivity has been studied; a high strain sensitivity of 6.3 pm/μɛ with a linear range of sensing response from 0 ... -
Design of Trusted Market Platforms using Permissioned Blockchains and Game Theory
The blockchain concept forms the backbone of a new wave technology that promises to be deployed extensively in a wide variety of industrial and societal applications. Governments, financial institutions, banks, industrial ... -
Differential Encoding for Real-Time Status Updates
We consider the problem of status updates of a physical process over an unreliable channel. In this setting, one may not be able to reliably transmit the current state at all times. Instead, one is interested in the ... -
First Principles Based Mobility Estimation of Graphene
Electron-phonon coupling (EPC) plays a vital role in detecting transport properties (e.g. mobility) of any material. First principles-based estimation of the mobility for any new material could act as a useful guideline ... -
Correlation Functions in the Finite Toom Model
This thesis is divided into four chapters. In Chapter 1, we give some basic definitions and results that we need throughout the thesis. In Chapter 2, we describe the pn0;n1q-Toom model and prove some known results about ... -
Duality for Spaces of Holomorphic Functions into a Locally Convex Topological Vector Space
Consider an open subset O of the complex plane and a function f : O ÝÑ C. We understand the concept of holomorphicity of a complex-valued function. Suppose a function f defined on O takes values in a locally convex ... -
Synthesis, Structure, Optical, SHG and Multiferroic Investigations on Compounds derived from Mineral Structures
The present thesis provides a systematic investigation of compounds derived from different mineral structures. The compounds were explored for their optical, visible light-activated photocatalysis, Second Harmonic Generation ... -
A Study of Some Conformal Metrics and Invariants on Planar Domains
The main aim of this thesis is to explain the behaviour of some conformal metrics and invariants near a smooth boundary point of a domain in the complex plane. We will be interested in the invariants associated to the ... -
Decomposition of the tensor product of Hilbert modules via the jet construction and weakly homogeneous operators
Let ½ Cm be a bounded domain and K :£!C be a sesqui-analytic function. We show that if ®,¯ È 0 be such that the functions K® and K¯, defined on £, are non-negative definite kernels, then theMm(C) valued function ... -
