The human skeleton experiences a wide range of strain rates during various activities and events. The mechanical response of bone considerably depends on the rate of applied loading. Though various studies are available ...
Chemosensors are molecular systems that interact with particular target species to generate an analytically useful signal. For instance, the optical chemosensors interact with analytes resulting a change in optical properties ...
In recent years, there has been an increase in the applications of multispectral images
(MSIs) in different domains. However, the adoption of MSIs in the real world has been
constrained primarily because current multispectral ...
The quaternary semiconductor kesterite-structured Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) has been widely recognized as a potential light-absorbing material for thin-film solar cells. With all non-toxic and earth-abundant constituent elements, ...
The human brain is a predictive machine (Clark, 2013), and it is well established in psycholinguistics
that it routinely and inherently predicts upcoming words during realtime
sentence comprehension. some central questions ...
Depth estimation is an important computer vision low-level information important
for tasks such as 3D reconstruction, augmented reality, image de-hazing, semantic segmentation,
object detection, human action recognition ...
Peptides and proteins play vital roles in almost all biological and physiological
processes. Since they function as hormones, enzyme inhibitors or substrates, growth
promoters, or inhibitors and neurotransmitters, life ...
Increasing global energy demand and dependence on fossil fuels which are limited in stoke and are associated with environmental and health concerns arising from their use, have sparked the research interest in alternative ...
Chapter 1: Nitrogen-Containing Molecules: The Privileged Motifs and Their Diverse Synthetic Tactics
The nitrogen acyclic and heterocyclic scaffolds are of paramount interest among the total heterocycles not only due to ...
The entire work was focused on the application of two powerful state-of-the-art techniques, namely EDA (Electron donor acceptor) concept and Photoredox Catalysis, to develop novel synthetic protocols for the generation of ...
Cutting fluids are generally used during the conventional turning process to provide lubrication and
flushing of chips from the cutting zone. However, cutting fluids cost around 16-20% of total production
cost apart from ...
Changing climatic conditions is one of the biggest challenges to species persistence
and biodiversity maintenance. Numerous biodiversity hotspots are expected to fear
unprecedented rises in temperatures in the near future. ...
A large variety of metalworking fluids, such as neat oils, oil-water emulsions, water based synthetic coolants, aerosols, etc., are commonly employed in the metal cutting industry to mitigate the severe tribological ...
The phenomenon of evaporation-induced self-assembly inspires the co ee-ring phenomena,
in which a drying co ee droplet creates a ring-like pattern on the surface. On
the nano or microscale, the majority of surfaces, ...
Chapter 1: An Exordium to Oxygen Heterocycles and Reactivity of Cyclopropane
Monocarbonyls
Heterocycles irrespective of their class, circumscribe the major part of all bioactive
molecules like natural products, biomolecules, ...
The solar pond is a radiation collecting and storing device used for low to medium-scale thermal applications. It traps the radiation either because of the halocline or any other method suppressing the natural convection ...
Fingering instabilities are ubiquitous in porous media flows like enhanced oil recovery,
contaminant transport in aquifers to name a few. Fingering instabilities are observed
when the fluid-fluid interface deforms into ...
Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are widely used in soft robotics as they are flexible,
light weight, resembles natural muscle, induce large strain, have high energy density and
quick response time. The DEA is a ...
The aim of this thesis is to understand the external field induced (gravitational, electric and magnetic fields) spreading dynamics of drops on surfaces of varying degrees of wettability. In pursuit of this, the present ...
