Learning Action Priors for Deep Visual Predictions
This thesis addresses the critical challenge of visual prediction in mobile robotics, particularly focusing on scenarios where cameras mounted on autonomous robots must navigate dynamic environments with human presence. ... -
Pockels effect based on-chip Electro-optic modulators using ferroelectric materials
An electro-optic modulator finds applications in multiple technological fields like optical communication, photonic computing, quantum computing, signal processing, neuromorphic computing, programmable photonics, and optical ... -
Correlation Between Microstructure, Electrochemical Degradation and Hydrogen Permeation behaviour of Electrodeposited Cobalt Based Coatings
The application of cobalt and cobalt based coatings is limited by their electrochemical degradation in corrosive environments. In the present work, corrosion and hydrogen permeation behavior of electrodeposited Co and ... -
Deciphering the role of miR-631 in the pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a malignant neoplasm originating from the epithelial cells of the oral cavity. The Asian population has the highest incidence of OSCC and despite advances in its treatment, the five-year ... -
Enzymatically Combating Biofilm Associated Microbial Infections: Towards Next-Gen Enzyme-Based Therapeutics
Bacteria employ various defense mechanisms, one of the most significant being forming biofilms─structured communities of microorganisms encased in a self-produced extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix. The widespread ... -
Investigation of the Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall Using Statistical and Machine Learning Techniques
The Indian Summer Monsoon is an important atmospheric phenomenon, marked by a characteristic seasonal wind reversal pattern, delivering 70 to 90% of the annual rainfall to the Indian subcontinent. Monsoon rain profoundly ... -
Exploration of Oxides and Polyanionic Cathodes for Zn-ion and Zn-air Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) rule the modern consumer electronics and electric vehicle sectors. However, their high production costs, safety risks from flammable electrolytes, and paucity of lithium resources have spurred ... -
Optical edge defection based image segementation algorithms
The work reported in this thesis primarily addresses edge detection algorithms in noisy images. The subjective errors that are inevitable in preprocessing and postprocessing generally used in edge detection cause errors ... -
Algorithms for testing planarity of chordal graphs and hamiltonicity of planar chordal graphs.
Design and analysis of graph algorithms is an active research area in Computer Science. Designing efficient algorithms for graph problems is both challenging and rewarding from the point of view of theory and applications. ... -
Pattern recognition schemes involving feature measurment and random classification costs
The central theme of this thesis is the study of the effects of costs on the design and operation of statistical pattern recognition schemes. An analysis of Bayesian pattern recognition including feature measurement costs ... -
A protocol for the Bi-directional connectivity of peers in the presence of heterogeneous internet address space
The number of hosts connecting to the Internet is growing day by day, and the available statistics show that this growth is exponential. This growth has made IP address a scarce resource. IPv6 is proposed as a long term ... -
Performance evaluation of backbone technologies in distributed systems
The backbone of a distributed system is the interior-most part of the communication network which carries traffic generated from several sources. Applications such as accessing the Internet, multimedia, etc., demand a lot ... -
A Multi-ring data flow architecture for parallel execution of logic programs.
The problems in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are highly search-intensive, requiring enormous amounts of computation time on a sequential computer. This has motivated researchers to design parallel computer architectures ... -
Networked information discovery and retrieval on the ERNET
Networked Information Discovery and Retrieval (NIDR) is the problem of locating information that is present on a network and making use of the located information. With the increase in volume and kind of information on ... -
Nodeterminism and communication in functional programming systems : A study in formal program development
The phenomenal advancement in VLSI technology witnessed in recent years has led to the economic feasibility of building computers which support massive parallelism in computation. Functional programming languages have great ... -
Approximate decoding over tail-biting trellises
This thesis proposes and implements soft-decision decoding algorithms on tail-biting trellises. For linear block codes, tail-biting trellises are interesting from a soft-decision decoding view-point, because of their reduced ... -
Scaling the performance of web servers using a greedy data buffering and caching strategy
Pervasive use of the web has placed extreme performance demands on its key architectural elements of which the web server is the most critical. A web server is a highly I/O intensive application, and I/O data handling ... -
Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms for reconfiguration of rings using management tokens
In this thesis, we propose two algorithms using slightly different approaches to detect failures in a ring, and to reconfigure the ring using a combination of multithreading and management tokens which circulate around the ... -
A complier writing system based on affix grammars
Compiler Generators have become well-established tools in the production of a compiler. In general, a compiler generator uses a specification of a programming language at an abstract level as input and outputs the code for ... -
Evaluating cache performance under multiprogrammed workloads
Computer system performance is critically dependent on cache performance. Cache effectiveness is determined by factors such as program locality of reference and cache organization. Different approaches to cache performance ...
