  • Are Investors the Bad Guys? Tenure and Neighborhood Stability in Chelsea, Massachusetts 
    Fisher, Lynn M.; Lambie-Hanson, Lauren Skiles (Wiley Blackwell, 2011-12)
    In this article, we examine the role of investors and occupant-owners in an urban context during the recent housing crisis. We focus on Chelsea, Massachusetts, because it is a dense city, dominated by multifamily housing ...
  • Are There Non-Causal Explanations (of Particular Events)? 
    Skow, Bradford (Oxford University Press, )
    Philosophers have proposed many alleged examples of non-causal explanations of particular events. I discuss several well-known examples and argue that they fail to be non-causal. 1. Questions 2. Preliminaries 3. ...
  • Are We There Yet? User-Centered Temporal Awareness 
    Adcock, Matt; Chung, Jae woo; Schmandt, Christopher M. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-02)
    It's not unreasonable to think that the technologies we use in our daily lives could help us make these sorts of decisions. For example, analysis of computer usage patterns can reveal our probable availability to colleagues. ...
  • Are you friendly or just polite? - analysis of smiles in spontaneous face-to-face interactions 
    Hoque, Mohammed Ehasanul; Morency, Louis-Philippe; Picard, Rosalind W. (Springer-Verlag, 2011-10)
    This work is part of a research effort to understand and characterize the morphological and dynamic features of polite and amused smiles. We analyzed a dataset consisting of young adults (n=61), interested in learning about ...
  • Arginine and the Hofmeister Series: The Role of Ion–Ion Interactions in Protein Aggregation Suppression 
    Schneider, Curtiss P.; Shukla, Diwakar; Trout, Bernhardt L. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2011-06)
    L-Arginine hydrochloride is a very important aggregation suppressor for which there has been much attention given regarding elucidating its mechanism of action. Little consideration, however, has been given toward other ...
  • Arrays of 128x32 InP-based Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes 
    Brattain, Michael A.; Oakley, Douglas C.; Chapman, David C.; Mahan, Joseph M.; Smith, Gary M.; Mahoney, Leonard J.; Younger, Richard D.; Funk, Joseph E.; Donnelly, Joseph P.; Shelton, John D.; Liau, Zong-Long; McIntosh, K. Alexander; Verghese, Simon (The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2009-04)
    Arrays of InP-based avalanche photodiodes operating at 1.06-µm wavelength in the Geiger mode have been fabricated in the 128x32 format. The arrays have been hermetically packaged with precision-aligned lenslet arrays, ...
  • Arrested Chain Growth During Magnetic Directed Particle Assembly in Yield Stress Matrix Fluids 
    Rich, Jason P.; McKinley, Gareth H.; Doyle, Patrick S. (American Chemical Society, 2012-02)
    The process of assembling particles into organized functional structures is influenced by the rheological properties of the matrix fluid in which the assembly takes place. Therefore, tuning these properties represents a ...
  • Article The Structure of the Cataract-Causing P23T Mutant of Human 
    Wang, Yongting; King, Jonathan Alan; Jung, Jinwon; Byeon, In-Ja L.; Gronenborn, Angela M. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2009-02)
    Crystallins are major proteins of the eye lens and essential for lens transparency. Mutations and aging of crystallins cause cataracts, the predominant cause of blindness in the world. In human γD-crystallin, the P23T ...
  • An Articulating Tool for Endoscopic Screw Delivery 
    Petrzelka, Joseph Edward; Menon, Manas C.; Stefanov-Wagner, Clara J.; Agarwal, Suresh K.; Chatzigeorgiou, Dimitrios; Lustrino, Michelle E.; Slocum, Alexander H. (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2011-02)
    This paper describes the development of an articulating endoscopic screw driver that can be used to place screws in osteosynthetic plates during thoracoscopic surgery. The device is small enough to be used with a 12 mm ...
  • An Articulatory Speech-Prosthesis System 
    Wee, Keng Hoong; Turicchia, Lorenzo; Sarpeshkar, Rahul (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-07)
    We investigate speech-coding strategies for brain-machine-interface (BMI) based speech prostheses. We present an articulatory speech-synthesis system using an experimental integrated-circuit vocal tract that models the ...
  • Artificial arterial blood pressure artifact models and an evaluation of a robust blood pressure and heart rate estimator 
    Li, Qiao; Clifford, Gari D.; Mark, Roger Greenwood (BioMed Central, 2009-07)
    Background: Within the intensive care unit (ICU), arterial blood pressure (ABP) is typically recorded at different (and sometimes uneven) sampling frequencies, and from different sensors, and is often corrupted by different ...
  • An artificial gastrocnemius for a transtibial prosthesis 
    Swart, E.; Endo, Ken; Herr, Hugh M. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-11)
    A transtibial amputee does not have a functional gastrocnemius muscle, which affects the knee as well as the ankle joint. In this investigation, we developed a transtibial prosthesis comprising an artificial gastrocnemius ...
  • Artificial Grammar Learning of Melody Is Constrained by Melodic Inconsistency: Narmour's Principles Affect Melodic Learning 
    Rohrmeier, Martin Alois; Cross, Ian (Public Library of Science, 2013-07)
    Considerable evidence suggests that people acquire artificial grammars incidentally and implicitly, an indispensable capacity for the acquisition of music or language. However, less research has been devoted to exploring ...
  • Aspects of the political economy of development and synthetic biology 
    Wellhausen, Rachel; Mukunda, Gautam (Springer-Verlag, 2009-10)
    What implications might synthetic biology’s potential as a wholly new method of production have for the world economy, particularly developing countries? Theories of political economy predict that synthetic biology can ...
  • Assembly of a large modular optical telescope (ALMOST) 
    Mohan, Swati; Miller, David W.; Budinoff, Jason (The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2008-07)
    Future space telescope programs need to assess in-space robotic assembly of large apertures at GEO and ESL2 to support ever increasing aperture sizes. Since such large apertures will not fit within a fairing, they must ...
  • Assembly of High-Areal-Density Deuterium-Tritium Fuel from Indirectly Driven Cryogenic Implosions 
    Casey, Daniel Thomas; Gatu Johnson, Maria; Frenje, Johan A.; Petrasso, Richard D.; Zylstra, Alex Bennett; Rinderknecht, Hans George (American Physical Society, 2012-05)
    The National Ignition Facility has been used to compress deuterium-tritium to an average areal density of ~1.0±0.1  g cm[superscript -2], which is 67% of the ignition requirement. These conditions were obtained using 192 ...
  • Assembly of Sub-10-nm Block Copolymer Patterns with Mixed Morphology and Period Using Electron Irradiation and Solvent Annealing 
    Son, Jeong Gon; Chang, Jae-Byum; Berggren, Karl K.; Ross, Caroline A. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2011-10)
    Block copolymer self-assembly generates patterns with periodicity in the ∼10–100 nm range and is increasingly recognized as a route to lithographic patterning beyond the resolution of photolithography. Block copolymers ...

  • Assessing continuum postulates in simulations of granular flow 
    Rycroft, Chris H.; Kamrin, Kenneth N.; Bazant, Martin Z. (Elsevier, 2009-05)
    Continuum mechanics relies on the fundamental notion of a mesoscopic volume “element” in which properties averaged over discrete particles obey deterministic relationships. Recent work on granular materials suggests that ...
