Iterative expansion microscopy using lipid and protein labels for nano-scale imaging of brain circuits
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Expansion microscopy(ExM) and iterative expansion microscopy(iExM) enables nanometer resolution by physically expanding fixed specimens using a conventional diffraction limited optical microscope. Here, we introduce a ... -
Iterative Improvement of Practice Exercises By Students and Staff
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)Practice is an important part of mastering any discipline. As a result, many courses provide students with example problems. However, the processes by which these exercises are created and presented to students can make ... -
Iterative methods, combinatorial optimization, and linear programming beyond the universal barrier
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)In this thesis we consider fundamental problems in continuous and combinatorial optimization that occur pervasively in practice and show how to improve upon the best known theoretical running times for solving these problems ... -
Iterative nonlinear beam propagation method and its application in nonlinear devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In this thesis, an iterative nonlinear beam propagation method is introduced and applied to optical devices. This method is based on Hamiltonian ray tracing and the Wigner distribution function. First, wave propagation ... -
An iterative pressure-correction method for the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes Equation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The pressure-correction projection method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is approached as a preconditioned Richardson iterative method for the pressure- Schur complement equation. Typical pressure correction ... -
Iterative uncertainty reduction via Monte Carlo simulation : a streamlined life cycle assessment case study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Life cycle assessment (LCA) is one methodology for assessing a product's impact on the environment. LCA has grown in popularity recently as consumers and governments request more information concerning the environmental ... -
"iTheater" interface design : integrating an educational user interface with a non-linear story engine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
Itinerary-based airline fleet assignment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)The fleet assignment problem is to determine an optimal assignment of aircraft types to flight legs in a specified flight network. The assignment process must trade off the operating costs of large capacity aircraft with ... -
IVAAIU urban instrument : hyper-complex civic monument for Seoul
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)This thesis aims to plan and design an urban monument in Seoul, Republic of Korea, that can reflect the political movement of the city at the urban area which has been historically associated with political representations ... -
IVAN : Integrated Virtual Agent Network

Ivory towers to office towers, Wall Street to Main Street : a study of the relationship between modern portfolio theory and private equity real estate
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This thesis attempts to relate the principal elements of Modern Portfolio Theory ('MPT') to real estate, recognizing that MPT was built not for real estate, but for stocks and bonds. It is split into two parts; the first ... -
[I³] imitation, iteration and improvisation : embodied interaction in computational making and learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Despite advances in digital design and fabrication technologies, creative design practices still follow Alberti's separation of the design phase from the construction phase. This separation causes a reliance on digital ... -
Jack Tworkov's work from 1955 to 1979 : the synthesis of choice and chance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981)Jack Tworkov began painting in the 1920s and made his reputation later as an Abstract Expressionist working in a gestural style. At the age of sixty-five Tworkov put that reputation on the line by undergoing a radical ... -
Jacobian-based control of soft robots for manipulation using implicit surface models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Soft robot hands offer numerous advantages over rigid ones for manipulation, including robustness and safety. Yet, compared to rigid robots, soft robots are characterized by continuous mechanics, and finite-element ... -
A jam-resistant CubeSat communications architecture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)This thesis proposes a communications system that utilizes the benefits of CubeSats to provide jam-resistant communications. The growth of CubeSats within educational communities has prompted their use in industry; both ... -

Jamming transition and emergence of fracturing in wet granular media
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)The interplay between multiphase flow in a granular medium and the displacement of the grain particles generates a wide range of patterns, including fractures, desiccation cracks, and labyrinth structures. There are several ... -
JamNSync: A User-Friendly, Latency-Agnostic Virtual Rehearsal Platform for Music Ensembles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)Existing technologies that support virtual rehearsals are complex and unintuitive. Network music performance platforms promise real-time interactions between physically separated musicians, but they demand hard-to-achieve ... -
Japan and Taiwan in the wake of bio-globalization : drugs, race and standards
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This is a study of Japan and Taiwan's different responses to the expansion of the global drug industry. The thesis focuses on the problematic of "voicing," of how a state can make its interests heard in the International ...
