The aim is to study how the bandgap can be varied with different functional groups added to the polymer. The calculations are initially compared with the corresponding experimental values for various sulfone compounds.The method is further extended to PEO functionalized with groups like OH, COOH, NH2,NP and(CH3)3Si to study how the bandgap can be engineered by varying the chemistry of the material.The aim is to study how the bandgap can be varied with different functional groups added to the polymer.

An approach to Disaster Management using Games and Agent Based Models

With the increase in simulation of urban environments for the purpose of planning, modelling vehicular traffic has become important. While empirical evidence on traffic flow is relatively sparse, models representing the same are being increasingly used for planning urban roads and environments. In this paper, a simple explicit model is proposed to approximate the speed versus density of vehicular traffic flow.

Transitioning towards a Green Economy in Karnataka.This report focused on agriculture, buildings, industries, transport, and power supply – sectors that account for all the state’s energy requirement and over 70% of its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.

India has set a target of deploying 100 GW solar power by 2022. Solar installations in the country primarily use Photovoltaic (PV) technology. It is estimated that 339-395 GW of solar PV will be deployed by 2040. At present, the domestic cell and module manufacturing capacities stand at approximately 3.2 GW and 8.4 GW, respectively. However, the existing manufacturing capacities are underutilised.

CSTEP aims to contribute to India's macroeconomic database of Input-Output Tables (IOTs) and Social Accounting Matrices (SAMs) by compiling matrices for an updated base year. These comprise uniquely detailed databases, useful to practitioners and policy makers alike. This paper also develops a methodology for compiling satellite accounts, namely, an investment matrix. Such extensive databases are useful for understanding complex inter-relationships within and among economies.
