D-branes and string field theory

Sigalov, Ilya (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)

In this thesis we study the D-brane physics in the context of Witten's cubic string field theory. We compute first few terms the low energy effective action for the non-abelian gauge field A, from Witten's action. We show ...

D-branes, gauge theory and string field theory

Feng, Bo, 1971- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)

In this thesis, we present several works done in last three years. They include three directions in the string theory. In the first direction, we use the brane setup to find mirror pairs of SO(n) and Sp(k) gauge groups for ...

D-D fusion neutron spectra measurements and ion temperature determination at Alcator C

Fisher, William A (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983)

D-work innovation : where, when and in which social context do good ideas evolve in the distributed work environment of knowledge workers?

Dimas, Anastasios (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)

The nature of work is changing. Until recently, the majority of people worked in fixed, team-based collaborations in collocated settings for fixed periods of time. Currently we are experiencing a major shift towards ...

D.C. beautification / Visual quality

Amisial, Cheryl Anita (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1974)

DABLE--a facility for measuring fission product transport in gas-cooled reactors

Martin, Jerry Lynn (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)

Dahl friction modeling

Chou, Danielle, 1981- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)

The drive behind improved friction models has been better prediction and control of dynamic systems. The earliest model was of classical Coulomb friction; however, the discontinuity during force reversal of the Coulomb ...

Daily divergence of water vapor transport

Brock, Eugene Byron (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1968)

Daily life support : building a collective neighborhood

Hamanaka, Leslie K. (Leslie Kinu) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990)

Do the house forms and residential neighborhoods commonly found in the U.S. accommodate the present needs and lifestyles of the people who live in them? The single-family detached house and multi-family units like the ...

DalSegno: User-centric preference elicitation strategies for mitigating cold start in music recommender systems

Lin, Cynthia (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-02)

Avid music enthusiasts often rely on music recommender systems to sift through expansive music catalogs and find new songs fitting their interests. However, such systems struggle to personalize suggestions for new users ...

Dam break risk assessment in Baker Valley (Chilean Patagonia)

Natale, Elisabetta (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)

An hydroelectric project was proposed by HidroAysen Company in the Aysen Region of Chilean Patagonia. It consisted of the installation of five hydroelectric power stations, two on Rio Baker and three on Rio Pascua, with ...

Dam filters : physical behavior, probability of malfunctioning, and design criteria

Honjo, Yusuke (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985)

Damage accumulation in a gradient stress field in graphite/epoxy laminates

Wolfe, Christopher Edward (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)

Damage accumulation in graphite/epoxy laminates due to cyclic gradient stress fields

Bonello, Kenneth John (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990)

Damage analysis of internal faults in flux concentrating permanent magnet motors

Colberg, Francis R. (Francis Rodolfo) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)

Damage assessment and liability compensation for marine oil spills : short and long term strategies that achieve international consensus

Armand, Clotilde (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
