21. In the wake of a bird - Quantifying aerodynamic performance of avian flight
Abstract : Flight is an expensive form of locomotion, but also offers the ability to travel great distances at relatively low cost. Birds have developed various adaptations for optimizing flight performance. The main aim of this thesis is to identify how morphological variables in birds affect aerodynamic drag and flight performance. READ MORE

22. As-cast AZ91D Magnesium Alloy Properties- Effect of Microstructure and Temperature
Abstract : Magnesium and magnesium alloys are used in a wide variety of structural applications including automotive, aerospace, hand tools and electronic industries thanks to their light weight, high specific strength, adequate corrosion resistance and good castability. Al and Zn are the primary alloying elements in commercial Mg alloys and commonly used in automotive industries. READ MORE

23. Low-temperature deposition of epitaxial transition metal carbide films and superlattices using C60 as carbon source
Abstract : The transition metal carbides are chemical compounds with a unique set of propertiesused in many thin film applications. In this work, thin films of group 4-5 transitionmetal carbides and superlattices were deposited at low temperatures by simultaneousevaporation of C60 using either metal e-beam evaporation or d.c. magnetron sputtering.

24. Evolution of WC-Co cemented carbide microstructure during creep testing
Abstract : The aim of this work is to understand the mechanisms behind the plastic deformation of WC-Co based cemented carbides. The microstructures of two materials have been investigated before and after creep deformation using quantitative microscopy, atom probe tomography, and transmission electron microscopy. READ MORE

25. Motor control in zebrafish : excitatory drive and developmental changes
Abstract : An essential characteristic of human and animal life is the ability to move from one place to another, in order to survive in a complex environment. All the different forms of locomotion, like walking, swimming, crawling and flying, have one common feature: rhythmic and alternating movements of the body. READ MORE
