A comprehensive understanding of metallography, heat generation, plastic deformation, and material flow/intermixing associated with the tool–workpiece intersection is required to substantially eradicate defects from the ...

Pre-MicroRNAs are the hairpin loops from which microRNAs are produced that have been found to negatively regulate gene expression in several organisms. In insects, microRNAs participate in several biological processes ...

The intriguing connections between gravity and thermodynamics have been a long standing subject of study. The conventional laws of black hole mechanics have often provided deep insights into the nature of gravity. In this ...

This doctoral thesis focuses on the valorisation of agricultural waste in the form of rice straw and the fabrication of different polymeric bio-composites and nanocomposites. Other value-added products in the nanometres ...

The dissertation gives a new proof of some existing second-order trace formulas, namely the Koplienko-Neidhardt trace formula for pair of unitaries in the multiplicative path, the Koplienko-Neidhardt trace formula for pair ...

Lutein is an alpha carotenoid, and it is used as an antioxidant, colouring agent, and for treating age related macular degeneration. Lutein is currently produced from petals of marigold grown on agricultural land. Production ...

The emerging interest to minimize fuel consumption and carbon emission, lightweight component design has become one of the important goals in the automotive industries. Among the lightweight materials, aluminium alloys are ...

Brittle fracture assessment of engineering components or structures containing sharp V-notches is an important and evolving research area in the field of notch fracture mechanics. A large number of brittle fracture criteria ...

The works in this dissertation assess, model and improve the quality of experience (QoE) for dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) in mobile devices. We first investigate how the bitrate adaptation algorithms in DASH ...

Bioinspired liquid wettability and patterned interfaces remained an inspiration for developing various functional materials/interfaces for relevant and important applications. The essential criteria for contriving bio-inspired ...
