The development of a proff of principle superfluid Joule-Thomson refrigerator for cooling below 1 Kelvin
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A new type of sub-Kelvin refrigerator, the superfluid Joule-Thomson refrigerator, has been developed and its performance has been experimentally verified. This refrigerator uses a liquid superfluid mixture of He and 4He ... -
The development of a program of hygiene for the National Teachers College For Women, China
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1941) -
Development of a programming model for the AEGIS secure processor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In this thesis, a high level programming model for the AEGIS secure processor is designed and implemented. The AEGIS processor enables developers to create trusted systems, while only needing to trust the AEGIS processor. ... -
Development of a project management tool for undergraduate product design teams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)A project management tool was developed for student use in a product development course, Product Engineering Processes (known as "2.009"), at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The goal was to equip students ... -
The development of a prototype Zone-Plate-Array Lithography (ZPAL) system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The research presented in this paper aims to build a Zone-Plate-Array Lithography (ZPAL) prototype tool that will demonstrate the high-resolution, parallel patterning capabilities of the architecture. The experiment will ... -
Development of a public health information infrastructure for postmarket evidence
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Postmarket data on prescription medical product performance has historically been incomplete, underutilized, and mismanaged to inform safety and comparative clinical effectiveness. Congress has tasked the Food and Drug ... -
Development of a punching technique for ductile fracture testing over a wide range of stress states and strain rates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) are becoming increasingly popular in automotive design because of possible weight savings due to the high strength. However, traditional methods are not capable of predicting fracture ... -

Development of a questionnaire to test the impact of scarce materials on design in Developing Countries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The objective of this thesis is to create a questionnaire that tests how designers in developing countries design with scarce resources. The questionnaire will be given to mechanical engineering students in Mexico and will ... -
Development of a radiant-heat furnace for the study of chemical reactions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1936) -
Development of a rapid global aircraft emissions estimation tool with uncertainty quantification
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Aircraft emissions impact the environment by changing the radiative balance of the atmosphere and impact human health by adversely affecting air quality. Many tools used to quantify aircraft emissions are not open source ... -
Development of a rating system for sustainable bridges
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)One of the latest trends in engineering is sustainable design, which is designing so that resources are available for many generations to come. Sustainable design considers the ecological, economic, and socio-cultural ... -
Development of a reactive peptide sequence for site-selective bioconjugation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Achieving catalyst-free, site-selective modification of proteins in water is a significant challenge in chemical biology. Issues of residue specificity, site-selectivity, reagent stability, and reaction rate are pervasive ... -
Development of a real time trimodal spectroscopy diagnostic tool for Barrett's esophagus
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a condition of the lower esophagus caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease. Patients with BE have an increased probability of developing dysplasia, an abnormal growth or development of cells. ... -
Development of a reduced-order modeling technique for granular locomotion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)The work is aimed towards the development and expansion of a reduced-order modeling technique called granular Resistive Force Theory(RFT) for modeling wheeled locomotion on granular beds. A combination of various modeling ... -
