-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This thesis discusses the engineering design process. Specifically, it addresses the methods and metrics used and motivation behind decisions made during the design process. The design process was divided along several ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Electroresponsive layer-by-layer (LbL) polymer films and polymer nanocomposite films were investigated as model systems for electrically triggered drug delivery applications and "mechanomutable" surface coating applications. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)There is currently much systems-based thinking going into understanding safety in complex socio-technical systems and in developing useful accident analysis methods. However, when it comes to complex systems without clear ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)At the present time, there are many hurdles to overcome in order to create a long-lasting and engineered tissue for tissue transplant in patients. The challenges include the isolation and expansion of appropriate cells, ...
-
Engineering geology of the Dorchester Bay area pertaining to urban development of Thompson Island, (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1968)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1953)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Research efforts in solution-based dye lasers and organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have led to advances in materials engineering and fabrication technology, propelling the field of organic solid-state photonics. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Photonic crystals are fabricated structures composed of a periodic arrangement of materials with differing indices of refraction. This research has focused on the realization of two distinct photonic crystal structures in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)One of the key problems faced by many biotechnology companies is the cleavage of terminal sialic acid on the glycans of the therapeutic glycoproteins. This is caused by the degradative action of sialidase released to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)An engineering model of lower thalamo-cortico-basal ganglionic circuit functionality was extended and tested. This model attempts to explain the circuitry of the basal ganglia, examine its functional properties, and integrate ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Electron-transfer reactions at nanometer-scale interfaces, such as those presented by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), are important for emerging optoelectronic and photovoltaic technologies. Electron transfer also ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)The sequence diversity of glycoprotein gp120 of the envelope spike of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) allows the virus to escape from antibody selection pressure. Certain conserved epitopes, like the CD4 binding site, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Optical traps have played a central role in the exploration of biological systems through the examination of molecular motors, biopolymers, and many other interactions at the nano and micro length scales. This thesis seeks ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Mobilizing the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells is a promising strategy for treating cancer. In contrast to standard therapeutic approaches such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, immunotherapy ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)One goal underlying synthetic biology is to develop standard biological parts that can be reliably assembled into devices encoding higher-order functions. Here, I developed a framework for engineering post-translational ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This research determined the engineering properties of laboratory Resedimented Ugnu Clay (RUC) specimens created using recovered material from 3800 ft below the surface of the Alaskan Northern Slope to aid with future ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Reusable components, such as logic gates and code libraries, simplify the design and implementation of electronic circuits and computer programs. The engineering of biological systems would benefit also from reusable ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Biotherapeutics have revolutionized medicine with their ability to achieve unprecedented molecular recognition and mediate complex biological responses. The intracellular delivery of biotherapeutics is an unmet scientific ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This work applies the processing technique of layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly to the creation and development of new electrochemically active materials. Elements of the thin-film electrochromic cell were chosen as a particular ...
