Hyperspectral and Spectropolarimetric Instrumentation for the Solar Atmosphere
The Sun is the closest star whose surface can be resolved to great a detail. Understanding the working of Sun helps in understanding a large fraction of stellar system as it falls under the spectral class G2V which is ... -
A Unified Framework For Micromechanical Damage Modeling In Laminated Polymer Matrix Composites
A unified numerical framework for progressive damage analysis in polymer matrix composite (PMC) laminates has been developed by explicitly accounting for damage progression at the micro-level. A three-dimensional repeating ... -
Stabilized finite element schemes for computations of viscoelastic free-surface and two-phase flows
Viscoelastic flows can be found in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications such as enhanced oil recovery, pesticide deposition, medicinal/pharmaceutical sprays, drug delivery, injection molding, polymer ... -
Adjacent Independent Row (Air) Matrices and Index Coding
An index coding problem, comprises a transmitter that has a set of independent messages and a set of receivers. Each receiver knows a subset of messages, called its side-information, and demands another subset of messages, ... -
Structural Reliability Estimation Using Markov Chain Splitting and Girsanov’s Transformation Based Methods
The work reported in this thesis is in the area of Monte Carlo simulation based methods for structural reliability estimation with special focus on strategies to reduce sampling variance of the estimator for the probability ... -
Water Market for Efficient Management of Water Resources in India
India sustains nearly 17% of the world's population but with only 4 % of global water resources. In India, the water sector faces enormous pressure due to increased demand resulting from population growth, industrialisation, ... -
Carbon nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications
Environmental pollution and energy storage are two important issues in the modern day society. In this regard, Carbon nanomaterials have attained immense importance, due to their high surface area and electrical conductivity ... -
Handling Overloads with Social Consistency
Cloud computing applications have dynamic workloads, and they often observe spikes in the incoming traffic which might result in system overloads. System overloads are generally handled by various load balancing techniques ... -
Correlation-aware Splitting Algorithms for Opportunistic Selection
Opportunistic selection is a key technique to improve the performance of wireless systems. In it, the best set of users among the available ones is selected on the basis of their instantaneous channel gains or local ... -
Molecular Dynamics simulations reveal the role of membrane cholesterol in the pore forming pathway of Cytolysin A
We investigate the interactions of pore-forming toxins (PFTs) with cholesterol-rich membranes through atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The PFT of interest is Cytolysin A (ClyA or HlyE). Cytolysin A (ClyA), an ... -
Optimization of Traversal Queries on Distributed Graph Stores
In this era of Big Data Analytics, much of the semi-structured data has inherent interconnectivity between representative entities. These are increasingly being modeled as property graphs because of the semantic advantages ... -
Interlinkages, Innovation, Internationalization and Economic Performance of Manufacturing SMEs in Bangalore
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) occupy a place of strategic significance in the global economy (including India) due to their significant contributions in terms of employment generation, exports, income creation, and ... -
Signal Processing and Coding for Two-Dimensional Magnetic Recording
Many novel approaches have been proposed to improve storage densities of magnetic recording beyond the existing 1 Tb/in2. These include heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), bit-patterned media (BPM) and two-dimensional ... -
Measurement of the viral phenomenon: New methodological exploration
Viral phenomenon in marketing refers to the rapid growth and adoption pattern of a product, akin to a biological virus. Viral phenomenon can be defined as “a word-of-mouth diffusion process wherein a message is actively ... -
Studies on differentiation of mouse GS-2 ES-cells to pancreatic β-islet-like cells and their functional maturation status
Embryonic stem cells (ES-cells) are an excellent source for generating insulin-producing β-islet cells for potential use in the management of diabetes mellitus. Although many protocols have been developed to promote the ... -
Studies on Nudix hydrolase proteins and crosstalk between DNA repair pathways
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, has become a global health concern. This calls for a dire need to understand various aspects of mycobacterial physiology in order to design better strategies ... -
Analytical models of selected stochastic processes in condensed phase systems
This thesis is a record of the research I have carried out over the last five years to understand a selection of problems in the broad area of single-molecule physics. These problems cover four broad themes: (i) dynamically ... -
Typestates and Beyond: Verifying Rich Behavioral Properties Over Complex Programs
Statically verifying behavioral properties of programs is an important research problem. An efficient solution to this problem will have visible effects over multiple domains, ranging from program development, program ...
