Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is an optical emission based technique used for qualitative and quantitative analysis for any sample. In the present thesis, time and space resolved LIBS are employed to study ...
The knowledge of hydro-mechanical response of the two extreme clays namely, kaolin and bentonite are important due to their presence in many parts of the world and these clays are subjected to wetting cycles under external ...
Traditional metallic internal fixation devices (IFDs) have many limitations. To overcome the limitations, bioabsorbable polymer PLA was melt mixed with lab synthesized nano Hydroxyapatite powders (nHAp) through twin screw ...
Cancer is a chronic disease that requires long-term interaction with chemo drugs for efficacious therapeutic effects. Chemotherapy is the most fundamental treatment option as it is prescribed to each cancer patient at some ...
The most perilous attribute of malignant tumors is to metastasize, which directly impacts survival. Cystatin A (CSTA) is an endogenous inhibitor of cathepsins, which play a significant role in the malignant progression of ...
Extraction of sand from streambed has catastrophic repercussions on aquatic animalia habitat, surface water quality, and environment. Sand mining in an active alluvial channel can compromise the streambed stability of the ...
Chemically crosslinked three dimensional hydrogel network has great potential in the field of drug delivery, tissue engineering, adsorption of metal ions and dyes etc. Naturally abundant polysaccharides are excellent choice ...
Ever since Paul Ehrlich proposed the concept of “magic bullet”, the pharmaceutical sector has been on the lookout for that special molecule. However, with the reducing chemical universe and strict Food and Drug Administrator ...
A surface tension gradient resulting from the inhomogeneities in temperature (thermo-capillarity) or concentration (solutocapillarity) on the free surface of a pure or binary liquid has the ability to induce motion in its ...
Cardiac disorder is one of the major risk factors for human mortality. Continuous monitoring and assessment of cardiac mechanics are most important to reduce the risk factors of cardiovascular dis- eases and death rates. ...
Typically an algorithm designed for carrying data mining tasks is fed with a static set of input. This class of algorithms remain prone to certain disadvantages in scenarios where the input data and extracted results change ...
The objective of automatic modulation classification (AMC) is to classify the modulation type of an unknown communication signal. AMC is a widely investigated area. The initial works on AMC were primarily devoted to ...
Fossil fuels are the primary sources of power and energy to the mankind even today. Cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternate energy sources alleviate problems associated with fossil fuels. Development of a ...
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), is involved in maintaining a plethora of immune responses in the human body. Although the anti-cancer potential of soluble TNFα was discovered more than a century back, its dual nature ...
Phenotypic plasticity or phenotypic state transition is the potential of cells to switch between different phenotypes of the cell. We investlgated the phenotypic plasticity in Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMf) at the ...
Relay feedback identification technique is widely used in process control industries, but its application is limited mainly to linear systems. This thesis focuses on extending the applicability of relay feedback to nonlinear ...
Dual polarized planar antennas have great potential to increase channel capacity and minimize space requirement in modern wireless communication. Such antennas should essentially have highly decoupled ports and broad ...
The thesis mainly focuses on the investigation of the structural changes in conventional SAW one-port resonator for sensing application leading to higher sensitivity. Two structural changes are proposed, i) introducing ...
M. anisopliae and B. bassiana are the environmentally friendlier insect pathogenic fungi, being utilized as an alternative to chemical synthetic insecticides, to control major economically crucial agricultural insect pests ...
Dissimilar metal joints are widely used for the technical and economical reason in various industrial applications which involves lightweight design. To deal with all those challenges in conventional joining, advanced ...
