A 4th order continuous-time [Delta] [Epsilon] ADC with VCO-based integrator and quantizer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The use of a VCO-based integrator and quantizer within a continuous-time (CT) [Delta] [Epsilon] analog-to-digital converter (ADC) structure is explored, and a custom prototype in a 0.13 [mu]m CMOS with a measured performance ... -
The 5' inositol phosphatase SHIP2 regulates EGF-elicited protrusion in MTLn3 cells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In metastatic cancer, cells must be able to migrate from their original environment, move through the blood or lymphatic system, and colonize a distant organ. Mena, a member of the Ena/VASP family of proteins, is upregulated ... -
5-star (by local norms) : group dynamics in a luxury Sub-Saharan resort
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis is a monograph about a Sub-Saharan 5-Star resort. It is based on 22 loosely structured ethnographic interviews, field notes, a series of artifacts and pictures, all collected during a 10-day field trip to the ... -

5GHz CMOS resonant clock buffer with quadrature generation for fiber optic applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Clock buffers constitute a major source of power dissipation in VLSI circuits. In CMOS the load is primarily capacitive and hence an inductive shunt can reduce real power needs. This almost-adiabatic topology is referred ... -
6,000 years of copper smelting : Center for the Study of Copper Smelting in Ancient Societies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)In 1959 professor of archeology Beno Rothenberg began investigating the production of copper in the Sinai desert and Aravah region of southern Israel. He discovered over 650 previously unknown ancient copper mining and ... -

A 64 channel 3T array coil for highly accelerated fetal imaging at 22 weeks of pregnancy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)MRI is an attractive tool for fetal imaging due to its unique ability to provide detailed anatomical and physiological data in an inherently safe manner. In practice, the problem of unpredictable and nonrigid fetal motion ... -
A 674 nm external cavity diode laser for a ⁸⁸Sr⁺ ion trap
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Atomic ion traps are a promising candidate for scalable quantum information processing. In this thesis, a 674 nm extended cavity diode laser is built to address an optical quantum bit in ⁸⁸Sr⁺ with the goal of testing such ... -
A 77GHz power amplifier in silicon germanium BiCMOS technology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The allocation of millimeter-wave frequencies has opened new possibilities for imaging applications such as vehicular radar and concealed weapons detection. Recent advances in silicon processes offer a new means of ... -
787 mid-body job precedence networks for improving production rate
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In a complex manufacturing environment, generating schedules, identifying deviations, and recovering from delays have a significant impact on total operational performance. At Boeing's 787 plant, a precedence network was ... -
800mm luxury : pencil tower phenomenon in Hong Kong, China
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)150m2 - 40m2 - 60m3. Pencil Towers are slender pencil-like apartment buildings. They are commonly found in high-dense Asian cities such as Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore. Focusing on Hong Kong as the context of research, ... -
