The present thesis focuses on the top-down controlled synthesis of WS2 quantum dots (QDs) by liquid exfoliation as well as the bottom-up controlled growth of large-area monolayer WS2 by chemical vapour deposition (CVD). ...

In this work, we present a finite generating set (j2 of J-li, the genus-2 Goeritz group of S3, in terms of Dehn twists about certain simple closed curves on the standard Heegaard surface. We present an algorithm that ...

Slurry bubble columns are widely used in various industries such as coal beneficiation, petrochemical, biochemical, wastewater treatment and chemical industries, etc. Slurry bubble columns are advantageous to use due to ...

In this thesis, least square based techniques as well as different variants of Kalman filter based algorithms like EKF, Two-Stage EKF and U F are used to estimate and compare the performance of these algorithms in identifying ...

This thesis attempts to critically evaluate issues related to fideism. Fideism as an idea upholds that in the issues of religion, reason has no or minimal place, and only faith matters. Some fideists hold that religious ...

India is rich in its cultural heritage and has a distinct identity because of it. India has an advantage for development as a tourism destination due to its vast natural and cultural landscape. The cultural heritage includes ...

Steganography is an art of covert communication where a message is hidden in some natural-looking objects such that no one can even suspect the ongoing communication. On the other hand, steganalysis is science for detecting ...

Rapid expansion and development of industries along with exponential growth in world population have led to a surge in the global energy demand in recent times. An escalating increase in dependence on conventional ...

This work focuses on the bioinspired synthesis of various spherical and tailor-made nanoparticles using reducing and capping agents present in the leaves extract of the Psidium guajava (guava) plant. These bioinspired ...

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), like those in the automotive and avionic domains, smart grids, nuclear plants, etc., often consist of multiple control subsystems running on distributed processing platforms. Most of these ...
