Writing in English from Northeast India is gradually emerging as an interesting and promising body of literature and makes for an exciting research area, because of inherent literary excellence as well as its correlations ...
This thesis is mainly based on silicon-oxygen bond forming reactions. Some physiochemical studies of tetrachlorocuprate complexes to establish a structure- reactivity correlation are also included. There are five chapters ...
Thermal radiation is one of the fundamental nodes of heat transfer. It plays an important role in the design of high temperature engineering systems. The analysis and design of combust chambers, porous burners and porous ...
Precision agriculture (PA) and site specific crop management (SSCM) offer potential solution for increased rice production in an efficient and cost-effective manner along with low environmental impact. Advancement in remote ...
Alpinia nigra, a rhizomatous plant belonging to the Zingiberaceae family, grows luxuriously in North-East (NE) India. Like all members of the “ginger” family, this plant too is known for its culinary properties and home ...
This thesis examines selected fictional representations of ethical, emotional and existential anxieties triggered by developments made in the domains of bioengineering like artificial reproductive technology (ART), organ ...
Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs) have become widely popular in the recent years due to the absence of bearings at the junction of bridge deck and bridge abutment. That leads to a reduction in the overall maintenance cost ...
Conventional peptide design only guarantees functional group constitution by opting specific amino acid sequence, and not their spatial orientation, because peptide molecules are very fluxional and its conformation is ...
The contents of this thesis have been divided into two chapters summarizing the results based on the experimental works performed during the complete course of the research period. Each chapter constitutes four sections, ...
Transport of a solute through a flowing solvent has several important applications in diverse fields, such as biology, chemistry, chromatography, environment fluid mechanics etc. Study of the transverse concentration ...
Anaerobic digestion (AD) of pulp and paper mill sludge (PPMS) was studied with and without pretreatment, in biochemical methane potential (BMP) assay, batch and with a semi-continuous lab scale reactor. Initially, AD of ...
The assessment of response of an aged concrete dam is important for the prediction of its behavior during earthquakes, so that remedial measures can be taken at the right time to withstand future earthquakes. The Assassment ...
Field applications of fibre-reinforced soil are still lagging behind the traditional planer reinforcement method. There is ample scope to increase field applications of fibre reinforcement with both clayey and sandy soils. ...
The number of patients worldwide are increasing at an alarming rate and thus the burden on secondary and tertiary healthcare system are increasing day by day. In order to meet the demand for healthcare facilities, it is ...
The current thesis emphasizes sustainable strategies to achieve an industrial titer of bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass via biochemical conversion route. Preliminarily, structural carbohydrates content ...
Present work mainly focus on two lithographic techniques viz. selective laser ablation lithography and atom lithography using dipole force. The work on atom lithography using dipole is on simulation of atomic trajectories ...
Growing demands of reinforced reliability, survivability, safety and stringent performance requirements in complex critical systems have led to the inception of a new control paradigm, widely known as Fault Tolerant Control ...
Designing efficient scheduling algorithms which can be used to meet the certification requirements of safety-critical systems is challenging. Our research considers the time-triggered approach to scheduling of mixed-criticality ...
Research on extremophilic proteins has seen immense growth in the past decade. Modern mechanistic approaches to engineer such proteins in vitro will have impact in industrial biotechnology economy. Developing a priori ...
This study is concerned with social aspects of sustainable development. It attempts to understand social sustainability by examining the water supply systems in Shillong, the capital city of Meghalaya. The focus is on ...
