The current research work deals with various strategies to chemically connect the
monomers (lactide and ε-caprolactone) at the molecular level and reduce the macrophase separation between them which is often witnessed ...
The growing atmospheric emission of greenhouse gases (GHG), especially CO2 from the combustion of hydro-carbon fuels currently hold significant impact on the increasing global carbon footprint. As a global concern, this ...
The existence of liquid repellent interfaces in nature has stimulated widespread research towards fabrication of bioinspired anti-wetting materials utilizing numerous synthetic and naturally derived components. However, ...
This PhD thesis illustrates the potential applications of Au nanostructures in plasmon induced photochemical reactions, in catalyzing the synthesis of amorphous bridged polynuclear peroxo-complex and to detect H2O, D2O and ...
Currently, watersheds are the focus of environmental conservation for sustainable development. Watershed-scale hydrology and soil erosion are the main environmental components that are greatly affected by climate and ...
Increasing processing demand has led to the development of chip multiprocessors which can have multiple to many cores connected with each other and with the on-chip caches. These connections are established by an on-chip ...
In recent years, the rise in developing nations’ economic activities has resulted in the rapid expansion of cities. This expansion of cities has emanated an increase in vehicular traffic, which has led to deterioration in ...
This thesis presents experimental investigation on evaluation of seismic performance of a new hybrid buckling restrained brace (HyBRB) under cyclic load. Detailed design steps adopted for the HyBRB design are reported in ...
Unlike aspiration in stops, aspiration in non-stop consonants is quite rare. Most of the
languages that have aspirated non-stop consonants are low-resource languages. Hence, data-driven, quantitative, and statistical ...
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) has been an active area of research ever since the need for smooth and natural Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) came into play. This thesis aims to develop an SER system based on an ...
Vacuum Electron Devices (VEDs) find numerous applications due to their inherent merits, such as unmatchable output power, ruggedness, higher gain, and less heat generation at the junction in comparison to its solid-state ...
There is a growing demand for new functional materials to enhance the performance of microwave devices due to rapid development in wireless communication technology. The composite approach is one of the versatile methods ...
Chromium-based spinels are a potential class of magnetic materials that exhibit multiferroic, magnetodielectric and magnetostructural coupling, exchange bias, and magnetization reversal etc. The discovery of such multifunctional ...
In a paper by Kodiyalam and Raghavan, they provided an explicit combinatorial description of the Hilbert function of the tangent cone at any point on a Schubert variety in the Grassmannian, by giving a certain “degree-preserving” ...
The kernel of the thesis is rooted in the interaction of lasers with atomic or molecular vapor. A quantitative explanation of the physics behind laser-atom interaction is given in terms of something known as "atomic ...
The quantum walk (QW) is the quantum analog of the classical random walk where an initial state undergoes reversible, unitary time evolution leading to a dynamical evolution of the quantum states. The study of QW has ...
A core-collapse supernova (SN) explosion is one of the gigantic stellar events. It is
accompanied with the release of a huge number (∼ 10^58 ) of MeV energy neutrinos which
carry major portion of the total gravitational ...
The thesis examines the formation of Boro identity from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. This is being done in the light of knowledge that came to be produced on Boros by British administrators and ...
Graphs with positive or negative edges are called signed graphs. We denote a signed
graph Σ by (G, ϕ), where G is called the underlying graph of Σ and ϕ is a function
that assigns +1 or −1 to the edges of G. The set of ...
Biogas produced from anaerobic digestion of organic waste is one of the potential alternative biofuels and is economically feasible, which might benefit the future energy supply demands as well as contribute to a reduction ...
