Inhabiting the Cloud : architectural excess to surplus
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The Cloud is the new public utility of digital networks that can be found in urban and rural areas that reaches both locally and globally simultaneously. These low occupancy maximum security infrastructures collect virtual ... -
Inhabiting the hillside : projections, process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984)This thesis is an exploration of form in three projections for inhabiting the hill side. Each projection encompasses a different approach or focus. The first, in Chelsea, Massachusetts, is within an urban context; the ... -
Inhabiting the square; a geometry for path and space
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982)Geometries and geometric systems are not architecture, though architecture is geometric. Geometries and geometric systems, because of their autonomous nature, are generally understandable and can serve as the basis of ... -
Inhabiting the virtual city : the design of social environments for electronic communities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Inhabiting the world : architecture, urbanism, and the global moral-politics of Marion Mahony and Walter Burley Griffin
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)This dissertation revises the history of internationalism through a study of the American architects Marion Mahony and Walter Burley Griffin, who practiced in the United States, Australia, and India between 1895 and 1949. ... -
Inhabiting Wetness
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-02)This thesis explores the condition where water meets urban edge in Asunción, Paraguay, proposing an architectural response that considers water not as a challenging force, but rather as a powerful asset for the maintenance ... -
Inherent discipline required in large system change
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Recent electrical architectures of land vehicles have shown a marked increase in networking and integration of electronic controls into traditionally electro-mechanical devices, which results in complex functional interactions ... -
The inherent variation in fatigue damage resulting from random vibration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1962) -
Inheritance Geographies: Black Presence and the Making of London
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Blackness has been fundamental in the making of Western cities. This thesis takes London as a site of focus through which to explore Black spatial practices. All too often, the disciplines of architecture and planning ... -
Inheritance, innovation, and adaptation of immune systems: Regulation of the Innate Immunity Sensor Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)The recognition and defense against pathogen invasion represent a common focus across various living systems. Recent advancements have shed light on the structural similarities observed in multiple innate immune proteins ... -
Inherited risk for common disease
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Linkage disequilibrium studies have discovered few gene-disease associations for common diseases. The explanation has been offered that complex modes of inheritance govern risk for cancers, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ... -
Inheriting military base property--a public/private approach to reuse implementation : case study of Mather Air Force Base
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Inhibiting HIV-1 entry : utilizing a transient intermediate of viral membrane fusion as a target for drug discovery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)In order to reproduce, enveloped viruses must deposit their genomes into host cells. The first step of this process is the fusion of viral and cellular membranes, which allows the release of the viral contents into the ... -
Inhibition of biofilm growth on highly polycationic polyelectrolyte multilayers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The epithelial cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin is often down regulated during carcinoma progression and metastatic spread of tumors. However, the precise mechanism and molecular basis of metastasis promotion by E-cadherin ... -
Inhibition of Hsp90 in Streptomyces coelicolor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Inhibition of the chaperone protein Hsp90 in plants and insects has been found to result in drastic changes in phenotype. We investigated the effect of Hsp90 inhibition on the bacteria Streptomyces coelicolor. These changes ... -
Inhibition of IFN-[gamma] promoter function by site-specific methylation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)When they become activated, naive helper T cells are able to polarize into either THI cells or TH2 cells. Development of naive CD4+ T cells into TH1 cells is characterized by the expression of IFN-y and the silencing of ... -
Inhibition of metalloproteinases in articular cartilage
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Inhibition of myofibroblast contraction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Although current medical procedures cannot restore complete function of a transected nerve, inserting both of its ends in a tube helps it regenerate. The regenerate is inferior to the uninjured nerve: it has a smaller ... -
Inhibition of tau kinase activity by ATP
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Inhibitory synapses are repeatedly assembled and removed at persistent sites in vivo
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Structural plasticity, the rewiring of synaptic connections, occurs not only during development, but is prevalent in the adult brain and likely represents the physical correlate of learning and memory. Removal or addition ...
