Jamaica Plain health center.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1971) -
A Java implementation of simple distributed security infrastructure
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Java-based modeling of the actin polymerization cycle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This thesis project combines work on two aspects· of a project entitled "A Mechanistic Model of the Actin Cycle" [ 1,2]. This project uses accumulated biochemical research to write a broad mathematical model that describes ... -
Jean Santeuil and Marcel Proust : a revaluation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1953) -
Jelf : a web framework for automatic privacy policy enforcement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)As people share more personal data on the web, it is increasingly important to correctly enforce policies on sensitive data. To address this problem, we have developed Jelf, a web framework that allows the programmer to ... -
Jet losses in partial admission turbine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1958) -
Jet quenching in the compact muon solenoid at the LHC
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In this thesis we perform analyses on simulated data that allow us to demonstrate the sensitivity of the CMS experiment to certain jet quenching observables. In particular, two theoretical scenarios which mimic RHIC data ... -
Jet substructure at the Large Hadron Collider
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)In this thesis, we use the CMS Open Data to study the 2-prong substructure of jets. We use CMS's particle flow reconstruction algorithm to obtain jet constituents, which we then use to perform various jet substructure ... -
A joule heating mechanism for high-speed fused filament fabrication
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Extrusion-based additive manufacturing, known as fused filament fabrication (FFF), is one the most accessible methods of rapid prototyping, capable of handling a wide variety of engineering thermoplastics. Productivity ... -
K-Star rapid rotators and the detection of relatively young multiple K-Star systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)In this thesis, I searched through the Kepler light curves of 14,440 K-star targets for evidence of periodicities that indicate rapid stellar rotation. Many Kepler M, K, and G stars show modulations in flux due to rotating ... -
Kalman filter estimation of underwater vehicle position and attitude using Doppler velocity aided inertial motion unit
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Kalman filtering for aided inertial navigation system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)This thesis develops a Kalman filter which integrates the inertial navigation system of the Vorticity Control Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (VCUUV) with redundant navigation sensor measurements. The model for the Kalman filter ... -
Kalman filtering of IMU sensor for robot balance control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This study explores the use of Kalman filtering of measurements from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to provide information on the orientation of a robot for balance control. A test bed was created to characterize the ... -
Killer asteroids : feasibility of using the IRTF to track near-earth objects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The possibility of an asteroid or comet impact necessitates the tracking and cataloging of all such objects which could potentially impact Earth. Currently, no comprehensive catalog of Near Earth Objects (NEOs) exists which ... -
Kinematic and vortical wake patterns of rapidly maneuvering fish and flapping foils
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This project examines the choreography of high speed turns performed by Danio aequipinnatus, giant danio, with the goal of understanding the motions that allow this species to perform its highly efficient maneuvering. ... -
Kinematic study of human ankle control during walking
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In order to determine the extent to which ankle motion is voluntarily controlled during walking, angular velocity measurements at the ankle were taken in two cases. In the first case, subjects were seated and instructed ... -
Kinetic modeling and experimentation of anaerobic digestion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Anaerobic digesters convert organic waste (agricultural and food waste, animal or human manure, and other organic waste), into energy (in the form of biogas or electricity). An added benefit to bio-digestion is a leftover ... -
Kinetic occlusion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
The kinetics of hydrogen exchange between hydroxyl groups of alcohols
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960) -
Kissena Park Community Center
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1948)
