(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Precise single cell monitoring reveals principles of cell growth
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Accumulation of mass is a fundamental cellular process that is associated with metabolism, signaling and regulation. Despite the wealth of knowledge in molecular processes the principles of growth in mammalian cells are ... -
Precisifying art pluralism
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This dissertation explores the legitimacy of art pluralism-the thesis that there are multiple, valid accounts of art. In 2011 Mag Uidhir and Magnus introduced the idea of art pluralism to revive the debate over the definition ... -
The precision and accuracy of intercontinental distance determinations using radio interferometry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983) -
Precision and reliability of cochlear nerve response in mice lacking functional synaptic ribbons
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Synaptic ribbons are electron-dense structures surrounded by vesicles and anchored to the presynaptic membrane of photoreceptors, retinal bipolar cells and hair cells. Ribbon synapses are characterized by sustained exocytosis ... -
Precision Assembly of Underconstrained Heavy Shafts Suspended By Multiple Cables From A Robotic Crane
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)This work presents a new approach to precision mating of heavy objects suspended from overhead cranes. Overhead cranes have been used extensively in heavy industry for transporting heavy objects across a factory floor. The ... -
A precision autonomous parachute delivery system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Based on previous projects within the author's engineering group and his own experience as a sport parachute jumper, a robotic parachute system was designed and flight tests were conducted to evaluate flight performance ... -
Precision autonomous underwater navigation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Deep-sea archaeology, an emerging application of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technology, requires precise navigation and guidance. As science requirements and engineering capabilities converge, navigating in the ... -
