Deep Learning Based Channel Estimation in Wireless Communications
Deep learning techniques which employ trained neural networks to solve problems have witnessed widespread adoption in diverse fields like medicine, architecture, robotics, autonomous vehicles, wireless communications, ... -
Biophysics of focal adhesion and cytoskeletal remodeling under fluid shear
Mechanosensors play a vital role in how cells respond to external forces, impacting cell-substrate adhesions through integrin clustering and focal adhesion formation associated with actomyosin contractility. Adhesions ... -
Pulse Width Modulation Techniques of Two-level Inverter Fed Asymmetrical Six-phase Machine Drive in Linear and Overmodulation Regions
Multi-phase machines (MPMs) have more than three windings in their stator, rotor, or both. With the broader adoption of power-electronic converters for efficient driving of the machines, MPMs are gaining attention in ... -
An investigation into the axial dipole field and mantle-induced heterogeneity in Earth
The Earth’s axial dipole field is generated by dynamo action in the planet’s outer core. It is understood from observations that the convection in the outer core is influenced by the lateral heterogeneity in the overlying ... -
Interfacial - Dzyaloshinskii - Moriya interaction in quasi-perpendicularly magnetized Ta/Pt/CoFeB/Pt ultra-thin films
The physics of Ferromagnetic-Metal/Heavy-Metal(FM/HM) ultra-thin film heterostructures is not only rich enough to investigate the interplay of magnetic interactions but also relevant enough to harness a new paradigm of ... -
Development of Efficient Scheduling Algorithms for Dynamic Real Time Scheduling of Burn-in Oven(S) in Semiconductor Manufacturing
This study addresses dynamic and real-time scheduling of a bottleneck batch processing machine, particularly Burn-in Oven (BO) used in the testing stage of Semiconductor Manufacturing (SM) process to perform Burn-in operation ... -
Graph Clustering Approaches for Speaker Diarization of Conversational Speech
In this era of advanced machine intelligence, real-world speech applications need to be equipped to deal with conversations involving multiple speakers. An essential first step in speech information extraction from ... -
Studies on Iron(III) Complexes for Cellular Imaging and Targeted Photodynamic Therapy
Cancer is caused by uncontrolled division of abnormal cells. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are most widely used for its treatment. However, due to serious limitations of these traditional treatment modalities, ... -
Elucidating the Role of miR-617 in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Pathogenesis
Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) or oral cancer is the malignancy of the epithelial lining of the oral cavity. It is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in Indian males and despite technological advancements, ... -
Design and Performance Analyses of Osculating Cone Waveriders
Modern mission requirements for long-range maneuverable hypersonic vehicles for space, military, and transportation applications necessitate vehicle design innovations. The primary challenges that a hypersonic vehicle ... -
Growth and Characterization of Single crystalline VO2 Heterostructures
Vanadium dioxide is a strongly correlated material with a temperature driven metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) near room temperature (~340 K). This electronic transition is accompanied by a structural transition from ... -
From Impact to Encapsulation: Advancing Droplet Technologies with Liquid Marbles
Droplets, in their myriad forms and functions, have become indispensable players in the world of microreactors, drug delivery systems, crystallization studies, and cell culture platforms. These tiny, self-contained units ... -
Evaluation Frameworks for Informed Multi-Site Multi-Variate Hydrological Assessment
The process of choosing a suitable hydrological model, calibrating it, and evaluating its performance poses intricate challenges for a modeler. The process of model selection is frequently influenced by the modeller's ... -
Novel Microfluidic Tools for Multiplex Colorimetric Detection of Analytes and Point Mutation Detection in Infectious Pathogens
Recently, the need for affordable point-of-care tests has grown exponentially. An ideal point of care (POC) test or device should satisfy the WHO-endorsed ASSURED criteria, meaning that the test/device should be accessible, ... -
Extratropical Influence on the Sub-seasonal Rainfall Deficit in Indian Summer Monsoon
The variability of Indian monsoon on a range of timescales - seasonal to interannual to decadal - has been studied and characterised extensively over the past several decades. On the mechanistic front, the role ... -
Analysis of Fetal Heart Sound for Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring
Perinatal mortality is the number of stillbirths and deaths during the first seven days of life per 1000 live births. Most (98%) of this death occurs in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and is known as the 'silent' ... -
Investigating mechanisms underlying astrocytic involvement in depressive-like behavior and antidepressant action
Major Depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex, multifactorial psychiatric illness which affects over 20% of the population worldwide. Despite its prevalence, our understanding of its pathophysiology is severely limited, ... -
A Framework for Effectiveness-based Sustainability Assessment in Manufacturing – A Product Life Cycle Approach
