Gender shades : intersectional phenotypic and demographic evaluation of face datasets and gender classifiers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)This thesis (1) characterizes the gender and skin type distribution of IJB-A, a government facial recognition benchmark, and Adience, a gender classification benchmark, (2) outlines an approach for capturing images with ... -
Gendering professions : an analysis of peer effects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Professional identity is important both to professionals and to the professions of which they are members. In addition to being crucial for professional success at an individual level, and for the maintenance of professional ... -
Gene amplification in Drosophila ovarian follicle cells as a developmental strategy and model for metazoan DNA replication
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The process of gene amplification in Drosophila ovaries provides a means of increasing the amount of template for transcription, thus increasing the amount of protein that can be made over a short developmental period. At ... -
Gene discovery and expression profiling in the toxin-producing marine diatom, Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries (Hasle) Hasle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Toxic algae are a growing concern in the marine environment. One unique marine diatom, Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries (Hasle) Hasle, produces the neurotoxin domoic acid, which is the cause of amnesic shellfish poisoning. The ... -
Gene drives and international trade : an analysis of World Trade Organization rules and their governance of ecosystem-altering organisms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)The development of self-propagating gene drive containing organisms may have wide-reaching consequences, including for international trade. Given compelling potential applications in disease mitigation and pest management, ... -
Gene expression and imprinting in mice cloned by nuclear transfer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Most cloned mammals derived by nuclear transfer (NT) die during gestation, and those surviving to birth frequently show increased birth weights, enlarged dysfunctional placentas, and neonatal mortality associated with ... -
Gene expression array simulator

Gene expression changes during mammalian male meiotic initiation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-09)In sexually reproducing organisms, germ cells can divide by mitosis, which generates daughter cells that are genetically identical to the mother cell, or meiosis, which divides the genome for haploid gamete generation. ... -
Gene expression-based screening of inhibitors of signal transduction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Advances in our understanding of cellular function and signal transduction have resulted in ever increasing number of therapeutical targets and, consequently, underscored a demand for simple and universally applicable ... -
Gene identification using phylogenetic metrics with conditional random fields
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)While the complete sequence of the human genome contains all the information necessary for encoding a complete human being, its interpretation remains a major challenge of modern biology. The first step to any genomic ... -
Gene prediction with conditional random fields
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The accurate annotation of an organism's protein-coding genes is crucial for subsequent genomic analysis. The rapid advance of sequencing technology has created a gap between genomic sequences and their annotations. Automated ... -
Gene transfer agents promote survival and DNA repair during stationary phase for Caulobacter crescentus
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-09)Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are prophage-like entities found in many bacterial genomes that cannot propagate themselves and instead package ~5-15 kbp fragments of the host genome that can then be transferred to related ... -
Gene transfer history of carbon fixation proteins constrains marine cyanobacteria divergence times
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Carboxysomes provide an avenue for narrowing the timing of evolutionary events in groups of cyanobacteria that are ecologically dominant in modem marine environments - groups that may have an integral role in oxygenating ... -
Gene-regulatory circuitry of disease risk and progression
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Complex diseases act heterogeneously through a remarkable diversity of cellular and functional outcomes across the human body, primarily through epigenetic organization and gene regulation. Genetics is a powerful tool to ... -
Gene-supplemented collagen scaffolds for non-viral gene delivery for brain tissue engineering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Recent advances in tissue engineering, combining an extracellular matrix (ECM)-like vehicle with therapeutic molecules, cells and/or genes has yielded promising results for brain injury repair. The purpose of this thesis ... -
Gene-supplemented collagen-glycosaminoglycan scaffolds for nonviral gene delivery in articular cartilage tissue engineering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Three-dimensional scaffolds and growth factors have been shown to be important for articular cartilage tissue engineering. A major problem in using recombinant proteins in vivo, however, is the inability to maintain ... -
Genera via Deformation Theory and Supersymmetric Mechanics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)We study naturally occurring genera (i.e. cobordism invariants) from the deformation theory in- spired by supersymmetric quantum mechanics. First, we construct a canonical deformation quantization for symplectic supermanifolds. ... -
General analysis of breed-and-burn reactors and limited-separations fuel cycles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)A new theoretical framework is introduced, the "neutron excess" concept, which is useful for analyzing breed-and-burn (B&B) reactors and their fuel cycles. Based on this concept, a set of methods has been developed which ... -
General approach for the application of Supramolecular NanoStamping (SuNS) to surfaces of all types
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)To novel ideas must correspond novel fabrication techniques, that enable the transfer of technologies from laboratories to the market. The success of microelectronics for example can not be separated from the success of ... -
