Design and development of high speed optical modulator on silicon-on-insulator platform
Optical communication has transformed information technology and enabled the present-day data explosion. The new era of data centric society is primarily driven by the ability to communicate data at high-speed. Migration ... -
Sound Radiation from Rectangular Panels with Rectangular Cut-out/s
This is largely an analytical investigation and the objective of this study is to compute sound power radiated from rectangular panels that are placed in an infinite baffle (or a rigid wall) and that have rectangular ... -
Bioremediation of Mechanically and Biologically Treated Waste Of Bangalore City: An Experimental and Numerical Study
Remediation of the existing MSW dumpsites has received considerable attention these days and there is an urgent need to address this issue in order to maintain the over hygiene of the urban environment. An approach consisting ... -
Real-Time Status Updates Over Erasure Channels
Real-time decision making relies on the availability of accurate data and, as such, delivering status updates in a timely fashion is of paramount importance. In this thesis, we first look at the interplay between average ... -
Probing the Splicing and Enzymatic Function of Fission Yeast Prp16 – A DEAD Box RNA Helicase
Nuclear pre-mRNA splicing occurs at precisely conserved sequence elements at and around the splice sites which result in ligation of exons and release of intron as lariat. The Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome is an apt ... -
On Leveraging Dynamic Processes in Large Social Networks for Smart Cities
The concept of smart city which began as being synonymous with electronically networked community underwent significant changes with the growth in mobile devices and social networking. This expanded the outlook of smart ... -
Is Spatial Map Shaped by Environmental Determinants?
Humans and other animals form internal mental maps of the outer world in order to navigate. Hippocampal place cells and grid cells in MEC (medial entorhinal cortex) are the key components of this navigation system. However, ... -
Spontaneous Light Emission from Molecular Junctions
Abstract: The study of light emission [1] from a molecular junction is recently gaining research interest. This has direct relevance to develop novel optoelectronic devices [2] and to understand light-matter interaction ... -
Charge and Heat Transport in Low-dimensional Quantum Systems
Transport of electrons through low-dimensional quantum conductors like nano-junctions has been actively pursued research area for the last few decades. Experimental studies on nano-junctions are nowadays routinely carried ... -
Functional Safety Analysis Techniques for Integrated Circuits Used in Cyber-Physical Systems
Integrated Circuits (ICs) are used to realize multitude of real life systems. These real life systems have ICs interacting with physical systems (this combination being referred to as cyber-physical systems or hybrid ... -
Model Extraction Defense using Modified Variational Autoencoder
Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) exposes machine learning (ML) models that are trained on confidential datasets to users in the form of an Application Programming Interface (API). Since the MLaaS models are deployed ... -
Internal Boiling to Flame Flickering: Insights into Various Spatio-temporal Dynamics of Nanofuel Droplet Combustion
Addition of metal and metalloid particles (micron and sub-micron) to conventional fuels like Jet-A has been a ‘liquid-fuel extender’ technique i.e. increased specific energy for less amount of liquid fuels. One of the main ... -
FA RCU: Fault Aware Read-Copy-Update
Deferred freeing is the fundamental technique used in Read-Copy-Update (RCU) synchronization technique where reclamation of resources is deferred until the completion of all active RCU read-side critical sections. We observe ... -
Understanding Rules of Assembly and Species Interactions in Mixed-species Bird Flocks
In mixed-species bird flocks (flocks hereafter), participants vary in their degree of similarity with each other. Flock participants can gain group size (supplementary) benefits by choosing similar flock partners, or ... -
Raman and IR Spectroscopic Studies of Bacteria, Endotoxin, DNA and Lipoproteins
In the past few decades, vibrational spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful technique in biomedical research. Raman and IR spectroscopy, which are based on signatures specific to molecular vibrations, has found a wide ... -
Protein-Nanomaterial Interactions: Structural And Dynamic Aspects
Owing to their unique properties, the noble metallic nanoparticles and graphenic nanomaterials find their applications in diverse fields of science. Particularly in the field of biomedicine, nanomaterials are being used ... -
Seasonal Isotopic Variability and Major Ion Chemistry of the Cauvery River Basin, Peninsular India
Surface water and groundwater interactions are inherently complex because they occur across a range of spatial and temporal scales. This thesis envisages to improve our understanding of surface water and groundwater in ... -
Parameter Estimation to Determine the Groundwater Flow and Seawater Intrusion in a Coastal Aquifer of Karnataka, India
Seawater Intrusion (SWI) into the fresh groundwater aquifers is one of the major hydrological problems in coastal regions. This global issue is aggravated by increasing demands for fresh groundwater due to on-going ... -
