(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis covers a basic framework to calculate the maximum computation rate of a set of functions over a network. These functions are broken down into a series of computations, which are distributed among nodes of the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a human intoxication associated with the consumption of shellfish contaminated with a family of neurotoxins called saxitoxins. Many species in the dinoflagellate genus Alexandrium ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess a unique set of electrical and mechanical properties and have been used in a variety of applications. In this thesis, we explore strategies to functionalize CNTs as well as applications which ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The recently developed practice of spraying polyelectrolyte solutions onto a substrate in order to construct thin films via the Layer-by-Layer (LbL) technique has been further investigated and extended. In this process a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)It is now clear that RNA is more than a messenger and performs vast and diverse functions. These functional RNAs include the ribosomal, transfer, and splicing-associated RNAs along with a cast of tiny RNAs, including ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This thesis deals with a method of functional lung imaging using Positron Emission Tomography (PET). In this technique, a radioactive tracer, nitrogen-13, is dissolved in saline solution, and injected into a peripheral ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a class of ~22 nucleotide RNAs with broad regulatory roles in gene expression. Dependent largely on the enzyme Dicer for their generation from longer precursor transcripts, mammalian miRNAs ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The aim of this research project was to study the neural substrates involved in processing rewarding stimuli. Evaluation of the magnitudes of reward is one of the fundamental aspects of goal directed behavior, and studies ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Two broad schools of thought dominate theories regarding financial innovation. One seeks to explain the process of security design in terms of relatively static organizations creating and promoting their wares and services ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Data is rarely obtained for its own sake; oftentimes, it is a function of the data that we care about. Traditional data compression and quantization techniques, designed to recreate or approximate the data itself, gloss ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)An outstanding issue in computer-aided design (CAD) is the creation of geometric shapes from the description of functional requirements (FRs). This thesis presents a method that can generate assembled shapes from the given ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Modification of synapses by neural activity has been proposed to be the substrate for experience-dependent brain development, learning, and recovery of function after brain damage. In the visual cortex, the strength of ...
