Degenerate Monge-Ampere equations over projective manifolds
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis, we study degenerate Monge-Ampere equations over projective manifolds. The main degeneration is on the cohomology class which is Kähler in classic cases. Our main results concern the case when this class is ... -
DegP related proteases in Escherichia coli and carboxyl-terminal tagging of proteins for degradation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Degradable airline scheduling : an approach to improve operational robustness and differentiate service quality
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)We present a methodology for deriving robust airline schedules that are not vulnerable to disruptions caused by bad weather. In this methodology, the existing schedule is partitioned into independent sub-schedules or layers ... -
Degradable polymeric nano-films and particles as delivery platforms for vaccines and immunotherapeutics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Degradable polymeric materials provide opportunities for the development of improved vaccines and immunotherapies by acting as platforms that facilitate the delivery of molecules to appropriate tissue and cellular locations ... -
Degradation and folding of the asialoglycoprotein receptor in the endoplasmic reticulum
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Degradation despite regulation : water pollution in Billings Basin, Sao Paulo, Brazil
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Billings Basin, a water reservoir in the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Region of Brazil, suffers from pollution. When the Billings Dam was built, industrial and energy sector interests prevailed, encouraged by Brazil's authoritarian ... -
Degradation mechanisms in La₀.₈Sr₀.₂CoO₃ as oxygen electrode bond layer in solid oxide electrolytic cells (SOECs)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)High temperature steam electrolysis is an efficient process and a promising technology to convert electricity and steam or a mixture of steam and CO₂, into H₂ or syn-gas (H₂2 + CO) respectively. It is carried out in Solid ... -
Degradation mechanisms of GaN high electron mobility transistors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In spite of their extraordinary performance, GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) have still limited reliability. In RF power applications, GaN HEMTs operate at high voltage where good reliability is essential. ... -
Degradation of GaN High Electron Mobility Transistors under high-power and high-temperature stress
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)GaN HEMTs (High Electron Mobility Transistors) are promising candidates for high power and high frequency applications but their reliability needs to be established before their wide deployment can be realized. In this ... -
The degradation of membrane proteins from the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Membrane glycoproteins of the secretory pathway that cannot adopt their native conformation are targeted for dislocation from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane for subsequent degradation by the cytosolic proteasome. ... -
Degradation of the E. coli small heat-shock proteins by the AAA+ protease lon : significance to protein quality-control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The refolding and elimination of damaged and aggregated proteins requires the concerted effort of several branches of the protein quality-control network. This network includes refolding chaperones, disaggregases, holdases ... -
Degradation study of AIGaN/GaN HEMT through electro-thermo-mechanical calculations and thermo-reflectance measurements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)During the last few years, AIGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) have been intensively studied for high frequency high power applications. In spite of this great interest, device reliability is still an ... -
A degree-optimal, ordered peer-to-peer overlay network
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Peer-to-peer overlay networks are structures for organizing nodes, routing traffic, and searching for data in a distributed system. Two of the most important theoretical advancements in this area were the development of ... -
Deinstitutionalization of public housing : a proposal for New Towne Court/Washington Elms in Cambridge
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Delamination growth in graphite/epoxy composite laminates under tensile loading
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Delamination in reinforced concrete retrofitted with fiber reinforced plastics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)The addition of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) laminates bonded to the tension face of concrete members is becoming an attractive solution to the rehabilitation and retrofit of damaged structural systems. Flexural strength ... -
Delamination suppression in graphite/epoxy composites via efficient use of film adhesive layers

Delay characterization and prediction in major U.S. airline networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)This thesis expands on models that predict delays within the National Airspace System (NAS) in the United States. We propose a new method to predict the expected behavior of the NAS throughout the course of an entire day ... -
Delay considerations in packet radio networks with capture

Delay gains from network coding in wireless networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)We consider a single-hop cellular wireless system with a single source (base station) broadcasting a stream of incoming files to multiple receivers over stochastic time-varying channels with non-zero erasure probabilities. ...
