Mycorrhizal fungi are central to the biology of land plants. However, to what extent mycorrhizal shifts - broad evolutionary transitions in root-associated fungal symbionts - are related to changes in plant trophic modes remains poorly understood. We built a comprehensive DNA dataset of Orchidaceae fungal symbionts and a dated plant molecular phylo...

Covert attention has been repeatedly shown to impact on EEG responses after single and repeated practice sessions. Machine learning techniques are increasingly adopted to classify single-trial EEG responses thereby primarily relying on amplitude-based features instead of latency-based features. In this study, we investigated changes in EEG response...

Electricity generation may create high levels of pollution, but its consumption is completely clean. Long-distance electricity transfers make the allocation of environmental externalities caused by electricity generation unfair at the regional level. This paper provides a generalized approach that can be used to evaluate air pollution and health lo...
In this paper, the state estimation problem of linear continuous-time systems is dealt with by a non-asymptotic state observer,which allows the state estimation error to decay within an arbitrarily-small finite time without resorting to high-gaininjection.By processing the measured input and output signals throughmodulation integrals, a number of a...
Control of wind-induced flutter of a bridge deck is studied using static output feedback. Servomotor-actuated winglets provide the control forces. Deck and winglets are modeled as flat plates and their aerodynamic interaction is neglected. Self-excited wind forces acting on deck and winglets are modeled using the Scanlan-Tomko model, with flat plat...

This work describes the quality assurance and Test and Evaluation (T&E) activities carried out for the inertial systems flown successfully in India’s first reusable launch vehicle technology demonstrator hypersonic experiment mission. As part of reliability analysis, failure mode effect and criticality analysis and derating analysis were carried ou...
This work explores the benefits of linear-mode avalanche photodiodes (APDs) in high-speed CMOS imaging as compared to different approaches present in literature. Analysis of APDs biased below their breakdown voltage employed in single-photon counting mode is also discussed, showing a potentially interesting alternative to existing Geiger-mode APDs....
Published in Irrigation Science
In recent years, the proliferation of private well irrigation systems in South Asia, especially in the hard rock areas of India, has stimulated the growth of informal groundwater markets. These markets allow water-buying farmers, who are unable to invest in wells, to benefit from irrigation while enhancing the economic benefits of water-selling far...
