Direct and adaptive quantification schemes for extreme event statistics in complex dynamical systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Quantifying extreme events is a central issue for many technological processes and natural phenomena. As extreme events, we consider transient responses that push the system away from its statistical steady state and that ... -
Direct and indirect effects of alpha-particle irradiations of human prostate tumor cells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The objective of this project is to establish a model system to study the direct effect, the bystander effect and the combinational effect of alpha-particle irradiations of human prostate tumor cells, toward the goal of ... -
Direct and indirect photoreactions of chromophoric dissolved organic matter : roles of reactive oxygen species and iron
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Photochemical transformations of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) are one of the principal processes controlling its fate in coastal waters. The photochemical decomposition of CDOM leads to the formation of a ... -
