A role for recurrent processing in object completion: neurophysiological, psychophysical and computational evidence.
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2014-04-26)Recognition of objects from partial information presents a significant challenge for theories of vision because it requires spatial integration and extrapolation from prior knowledge. We combined neurophysiological recordings ... -
A Role for Repressive Histone Methylation in Cocaine-Induced Vulnerability to Stress
(Elsevier, 2011-08)Substance abuse increases an individual's vulnerability to stress-related illnesses, which is presumably mediated by drug-induced neural adaptations that alter subsequent responses to stress. Here, we identify repressive ... -
A role for striate cortex in surface perception
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
A role for the Bacillus subtilis Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (BsSMC) protein in chromosome organization and compaction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)All cells must compact their chromosomes in order for the DNA to fit inside the cell or nucleus. In Bacillus subtilis, and other bacteria, replication occurs simultaneously with the organization, compaction and segregation ... -
A role for the bacterial GATC methylome in antibiotic stress survival
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-06)Antibiotic resistance is an increasingly serious public health threat1. Understanding pathways allowing bacteria to survive antibiotic stress may unveil new therapeutic targets. We explore the role of the bacterial epigenome ... -
A role for the histone variant HTZ1 in meiotic chromosome segregation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In Eukaryotic cells, the packaging of genomic DNA into chromatin has important consequences for all DNA-dependent transactions. Chromatin structure is highly regulated by a variety of complex processes that are not well ... -
A role for the Speedy gene family in the early stages of mammalian meiosis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Meiosis is the process by which a diploid cell undergoes two sequential rounds of division without an intervening round of DNA replication. The result is the formation of haploid gametes. The genes and signals that regulate ... -
A role for the Spemann organizer gene, Goosecoid, in tumor metastasis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The process of invasion and metastasis during tumor progression is often reminiscent of cell migration events occurring during embryonic development. I hypothesized that genes controlling cellular changes in the Spemann ... -
A role for α-Synuclein in axon growth and its implications in corticostriatal glutamatergic plasticity in Parkinson’s disease
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-03)Background α-Synuclein (α-Syn) is a protein implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). α-Syn has been shown to associate with membranes and bind acidic phospholipids. However, the physiological ... -
The role of a transit agency in station area development : a case study of Tren Urbano, Puerto Rico
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)The objective of this thesis is to examine the role of the transit agency in effecting station area development. Research for this thesis is motivated by the future operation of Tren Urbano, Puerto Rico's first urban heavy ... -
The role of accessibility in a universal web
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2014-04)"Universal design" is the process of creating products that are usable by people with the widest possible range of abilities, operating within the widest possible range of situations; whereas "accessibility" primarily ... -
The role of accounting data in performance evaluation, budgetary participation and organizational effectiveness
(Cambridge, Mass. : Alfred P. Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
The Role of Accounting in the Financial Crisis: Lessons for the Future
(American Accounting Association, 2012-01)The advent of the Great Recession in 2008 was the culmination of a perfect storm of lax regulation, a growing housing bubble, rising popularity of derivatives instruments, and questionable banking practices. In addition ... -
The role of actors and incentives in municipal solid waste management : a case study on Muzaffarnagar, India
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The ever-increasing urban population and a growing middle class are leading to a burgeoning solid waste problem in Indian cities. While legislation has been passed to address the growing waste issue, there has been limited ... -
Role of adult neurogenesis in hippocampal-cortical memory consolidation
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2014-02)Acquired memory is initially dependent on the hippocampus (HPC) for permanent memory formation. This hippocampal dependency of memory recall progressively decays with time, a process that is associated with a gradual ... -
The role of aerosols in the troposphere : radiative forcing, model response, and uncertainty analysis

The Role of an Online Community in Relation to Other Communication Channels in a Business Development Case
(Cambridge, MA; Alfred P. Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009-04-09)We investigated how sales representatives (Salespeople) and members of a service business development department (the Service Dept.) communicated within an informal online community, particularly in relation to their use ...
