Large sized planar structures are increasingly being employed in satellite and radar applications. But due to large electrical size and complex cellular patterns of modern designs, full-wave analysis of these structures requires enormous memory and processing requirements. Therefore conventional techniques based on linear meshing either fail to simulate such structures or require resources not available to a common antenna designer. A novel te...

Geological interest and economic wealth of the Archaean to Proterozoic Dharwar craton in the Precambrian Indian peninsular shield have motivated several geological and geophysical studies. However, many of the earlier geophysical investigations were focused on eliciting the broad, deep-seated regional signatures in parts of the craton. Yet, there are very few reports of detailed crustal configuration of the region. Further, there are very few ...

Indian agriculture hosts around 4 million farm families in jute cultivation. It also provides sustenance to about 0 .25 million industrial workers and another 0.2 million people in other aspects of the trade.

The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of multi-digit number processing in the development of numerical cognition. The most influential contemporary cognitive model of numeracy (Triple-Code model by Dehaene, 1992) differentiates between modality-specific processes (processing of number words vs. Arabic numbers vs. magnitude) as well as between semantic processes like number comparison and asemantic processes like transcoding. ...

The network alignment has been formulated formally. While there are some variations among the tools, the key idea is similar: to combine gene sequence information and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network information to find conserved interaction regions across species. A biological interpretation of network alignment is to find functional homologues across different organisms. The general problem, known as the problem of finding common su...
