Motor control and learning by the state space model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977) -
Motor Design and Control for Scalable Distributed Actuation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-09)Machine design is often constrained to a limited number of controllable degrees of freedom due to the cost and complexity associated with integrating large numbers of actuators. This thesis explores the hardware and control ... -
Motor learning on a heaving plate via improved-SNR algorithms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Creatures in nature have subtle and complicated interactions with their surrounding fluids, achieving levels of performance as yet unmatched by engineered solutions. Model-free reinforcement learning (MFRL) holds the promise ... -
The motor truck vs the railroads as a means of freight transportation from Boston to New England points
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1925) -
MotorMouth--a generic engine for large-scale, real-time automated collaborative filtering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Mouse behavior recognition with the wisdom of crowd
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)In this thesis, we designed and implemented a crowdsourcing system to annotate mouse behaviors in videos; this involves the development of a novel clip-based video labeling tools, that is more efficient than traditional ... -
A mouse model for studying gastrointestinal microbial ecology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The mammalian gastrointestinal (GI) tract harbors a complex microbial ecosystem with hundreds of bacterial species at total levels as high as 10¹¹⁻¹² cells/g tissue. These bacteria play an important role in the health of ... -
Mouse models of lung cancer : understanding the molecular and cellular basis of lung tumorigenesis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Patients are typically diagnosed with advanced disease and have a high fatality:case ratio. Despite its prevalence, the identity of the cell of origin, precursor ... -
Mouse models of osteoarthritis and joint injury
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Nearly 21 million Americans are affected by osteoarthritis, a complex disease characterized by degenerative lesions to the articular cartilage and subchondral bone in the joints. The complexity of the disease makes the use ... -
Mouse modifiers of intestinal tumorigenesis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Colorectal cancer involves a series of molecular alterations as a normal cell progresses to malignancy. A large body of evidence points to the mutation of the APC gene as the pivotal event initiating intestinal tumorigenesis. ... -
The mouse visually evoked potential : neural correlates and functional applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The visually evoked potential (VEP) is a local field potential (LFP) evoked in visual cortex in response to visual stimuli. Unlike extracellular single unit recordings, which allow us to probe the function of single spiking ... -
Moveable bed roughness and sediment resuspension in the field
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Moveable objects, mobile code
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Movement and the mechanical properties of the intact human elbow joint.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Movement and the neighborhood fabric as the generators for an urban elementary school
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)"Perhaps the mind-body dichotomy of our philosophical heritage had prevented us from appreciating the fundamental role movement plays in all our intellectual capacities."(Olds,1980) This thesis is based on educational ideas ... -
Movement of degree/degree of movement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)In this project we examine the DP-internal behavior of degree operators contained in attributive extended APs, specifically degree fronting (so sunny a day) and degree right extraposition (a day sunny enough). We argue ... -
Movement out of focus
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This dissertation investigates the consequences of overt and covert movement on association with focus. The interpretation of focus-sensitive operators such as only and even depends on the presence of a focused constituent ... -
The movement system as an organizer of visual form
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1965) -
Movement-induced orientation of collagen fibrils in cartilaginous tissues
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Movements and oceanographic associations of large pelagic fishes in the North Atlantic Ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Highly migratory marine fishes support valuable commercial fisheries worldwide. Yet, many target species have proven difficult to study due to long-distance migrations and regular deep diving. Despite the dominance of ...
