Deliberation : integrating stakeholder values and risk assessments in environmental decision making
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)Risk management has gained a significant amount of attention from both policy makers and the public over the past thirty years, as the interaction of technology and policy choices become more predominant in the evaluation ... -
Delicate manipulation of irregularly-shaped rigid objects in a stiff, fragile environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Deligne categories and representation stability in positive characteristic
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)We study the asymptotic behavior of the representation theory of symmetric groups Sn, in positive characteristic as n grows to [infinity], with the goal of understanding and generalizing the Deligne categories Rep(St) as ... -
Delineation of the molecular mechanisms underlying DNA replication initiation and changes in gene copy number during Drosophila development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)The study of differential DNA replication programs in Drosophila has provided important insight into the molecular control of replication initiation and fork progression during development. We investigated the mechanisms ... -
Delinking economic development and mass incarceration : imagining new futures for rural communities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Until recently, prisons were considered an economic development strategy particularly in rural communities struggling with the loss of manufacturing jobs. However, many studies have shown that prisons often have weak ... -
Delivering Locally Sourced Nutritious Food to Indian Households
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)WHO reports that in the South Asian region, the number of undernourished has hardly decreased in the last decade. This situation calls for a concerted effort to combat malnutrition the world over. The effort must be grounded ... -
Delivering real-time holographic video content with off-the-shelf PC hardware
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)We present a PC based system to simultaneously compute real-time holographic video content and to serve as a framebuffer to drive a holographic video display. Our system uses only 3 PCs each equipped with an nVidia Quadro ... -
Delivering telecommunications services in local markets : a case study outlining implementation challenges
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In numerous industries, the competitive landscape significantly evolved in the last few decades. From local organizations serving local customers with a portfolio of products and services adapted and dedicated to the ... -
Delivery of antigens to dendritic cells as a platform for a vector-free cancer therapy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Cell based vaccines that activate a patient's immune system via an antigen-specific CD8 T cell response hold much therapeutic potential. One of the greatest challenges in the development of these vaccines is creating antigen ... -
Delivery of biomolecules into mammalian cells using anthrax toxin
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The intracellular delivery of biomolecules into mammalian cells is a major challenge due to the plasma membrane, which acts as a barrier between the extracellular environment and intracellular components. Recently, a ... -
Delivery of macromolecule therapeutics via jetting in the gastrointestinal tract
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Biologics are a class of therapeutic substances composed of large and complex "macromolecules." Examples include vaccines, insulin, monoclonal antibodies, and allergens. However, a practical limitation of these molecules ... -
Delivery of tren urbano stations as strategic urban nodes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Delivery optimization for a make to order custom wire mill
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In the face of growing competition in the Tantalum business, H.C.Starck's management is minimizing the delivery time for custom-made capacitor-grade tantalum wire products. H.C. Starck, Inc., Newton, Massachusetts faces ... -
Delivery, design, and mechanism of antimicrobial peptides
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Each year, 2 million people contract hospital-acquired bacterial infections, which causes the death of 100,000 patients and costs the US healthcare system over $21 billion. These infections have become dangerously resistant ... -
The Dell operating model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Dell, Inc. is well known for its dramatic and continually improving operational performance in terms of unit cost, inventory level, production capacity, and labor efficiency. However, in late 2002, several members of Dell's ... -
