Folded functional foams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Materials with effective properties dominated by geometric structure rather than composition, or architected materials, are used in nature and engineering to maximize performance subject to constraints of mass and energy. ...
The organization of consensus in a large southern Italian city : the social bases of an urban political machine.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978)
Essays on health and social insurance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
This thesis consists of three chapters on the economics of health and social insurance. In the first chapter, I examine the distribution of income risk that adults face from severe illness and the social insurance provided ...
Novel optical sensors for chemical and biological applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Optical sensors have attracted a lot of interest due to their increased performance and ability to perform chemical identification through spectroscopy. Integrated sensors present the additional advantages of compactness ...
Stereospecific total synthesis of beta-lactam antibiotics from peptide precursors.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978)
Ultrahigh frequency characterization of complex materials using transient grating techniques
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
The regulation of brain serotonin concentrations by dietary factors affecting brain tryptophan
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972)
Daily rhythms occur in the concentrations of tryptophan in rat plasma and brain and of serotonin in rat brain. To determine whether these normally-occurring changes in plasma and brain tryptophan could account for the ...
Partially ordered sets with hooklengths : an algorithmic approach.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1979)
"Stop or i'll shoot, comply and I won't" : coercive assurance in international politics/
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Why do some coercive threats succeed while others fail? Successful coercion requires not only that I credibly threaten you until you comply, but also that I credibly assure you that I will not punish you after you comply. ...
Experimental studies of internal dark currents in high gradient accelerator structures at 17 GHz
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
This thesis presents the measurement of the internal dark current in normal conducting single cell standing wave disk-loaded waveguide (DLWG) accelerator structures that operate at 17 GHz, and its comparison with theory. ...
