The Z axis and its composite matrix of perception
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Beliefs and ideas mingle with our perceptions of physical objects and spaces as the same cognitive material. Within a conceptual mental space, these perceptions constitute a composite matrix of perception. When we navigate ... -
Z boson cross section measurements and neutral Higgs boson search in the di-muon channel with the CMS detector
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)In this thesis, measurements of inclusive and differential Z boson production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at [square root of] s =13 TeV with the CMS detector at Large Hadron Collider are performed with the ... -
Z-selective olefin metathesis processes and Cis/syndioselective ROMP with high oxidation state molybdenum alkylidenes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Chapter 1: Reaction of W(CCMe3)Cl 3(dme) with one equivalent of (3,5-Me 2C6H3NCH2CH 2)3N)Li3 affords yellow, crystalline W(CCMe3)(N3N) in good yield. The reactivity of this new alkylidyne complex towards terminal alkynes ... -
Z-source circuit breakers in naval power systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)New power system components and control systems are required to facilitate the U.S. Navy's move to medium voltage direct current power (MVDC) systems on future vessels. Integrating the z-source circuit breaker into a ... -
Zanzibar Pizza Hut: Stone Town’s Duckorated Sheds
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Zanzibar Pizza Hut: Stone Town’s Duckorated Sheds examines three cultural artifacts produced in Zanzibar’s Stone Town— Christ Church at the Old Slave Market, the kanga cloth, and the Zanzibar Pizza. These artifacts, which ... -
Zariski structures and simple theories
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)In this thesis, I consider generalisations of geometric stability theory to minimal Lascar Strong Types definable in simple theories. Positively, we show that the conditions of linearity and 1-basedness are equivalent for ... -
ZEB1 is a central mediator of the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Carcinomas are solid tumors arising from epithelial tissue, and account for the majority of cancer deaths in the United States. In most occurrences of carcinoma, it is the metastases that kill, not the primary tumor. The ... -
Zebrafish : a steganographic system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002) -
Zeeman effect in promethium-147
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960) -
The Zeeman effects in ruthenium I
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1941) -
Zeeman relaxation of cold iron and nickel in collisions with ³He
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis describes a measurement of the ratio of elastic to Zeeman-projection changing collision cross sections ([gamma]) in the Fe-3He and Ni-3He systems. This ratio is a probe of the anisotropy of the interaction ... -
Zeki Müren, a prince from outer space : reading Turkey's gender-bending pop legend as a transmedia star
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Zeki Müren is Turkey's beloved queer pop star whose career spans a period between his first radio emission in 1951 and his death during a live television program in 1996. He is a pioneer of 'Turkish Art Music', a trailblazer ... -
Zephyr extensibility in small workstation oriented computer networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Zephyr: a Data-Centric Framework for Predictive Maintenance of Wind Turbines
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-02)Because wind turbines often operate through harsh weather events, under variable operating conditions, and in difficult-to-access locations, turbine maintenance is often challenging and costly. In this thesis, we present ... -

Zero emission passenger vehicles in tyhhe [sic] United States, anticipating future automobile industry trends based on stakeholder interview analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)My personal interest in automobile evolution is the primary motivation for this thesis. My engineering education and a fifteen year career in professional automobile racing were also inspired by personal passion for ... -
A zero kernel operating system : rethinking microkernel design by leveraging tagged architectures and memory-safe languages
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)A secure kernel is the keystone upon which all software systems are built. Historically, memory corruption errors have accounted for a large portion of kernel bugs. These bugs are difficult to detect and avoid in memory-unsafe ... -
Zero sound modes in the AdS/CFT correspondence
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)We examine the effects of zero sound wave excitations of charged fermion species living around the charged black hole of an AdS/CFT spacetime. In particular, we show that these bulk modes cause corresponding singularities ... -
The Zero Touch Experience : intent based contextual morphing on mobile devices using localized keyword distributions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)With the rise of smart phones integrated with GPS devices, we have seen the advent of location-based contextual services. "Contextual" in this sense, refers to a simple query of nearby points of interest based on the current ...
