Dynamics and nonlinear, adaptive control of an autonomous unicycle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
The dynamics and regulation of actin filaments in vascular endothelial cells and in a reconstituted purified protein system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Cell motility and shape change are complex processes that depend primarily on the cytoplasmic dynamics and distribution of actin monomer and polymer. Proteins that regulate actin cycling control cellular architecture and ... -
Dynamics and rheology of soft phase-change materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Many industrial processes involve multicomponent or composite materials in which one component can undergo a phase transition leading to the appearance of a solid phase dispersed in a liquid-like continuous phase. Examples ... -
Dynamics and sensitivity analysis of a class of high speed aircraft
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993) -
Dynamics and spectra in condensed phases : single molecule spectroscopy, electron transfer, and excitation energy transfer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)In this thesis, several problems regarding dynamics and spectra in condensed phases are theoretically analyzed via analytical models. The thesis consists of four main topics. First, a theoretical description of single ... -
Dynamics and stability of gravity-capillary solitary waves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Over the past several years, it has been recognized that a new class of solitary waves can propagate in nonlinear dispersive wave systems if the phase speed of linear waves attains a local extremum at some finite wavenumber. ... -
Dynamics and statics of actin assemblies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The conversion of chemical energy into mechanical forces that powers cell movements is a ubiquitous theme across biology. The acrosome reaction of Limulus sperm is a simple example of such a dynamical transformation where ... -
The dynamics and strategic analysis of wireless communications technology in the healthcare industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The healthcare industry like other industry is on the cross roads as a result of rising demand for healthcare delivery and service, the industry is facing declining revenues and increasing cost. As a result, one of the ... -
A dynamics based method for accelerometer-only navigation of a spinning projectile
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)A method of navigating a gun-launched, spinning projectile using only accelerometers is presented. A linear combination of the outputs of a general configuration of at least 12 accelerometers is shown to provide measurements ... -
Dynamics characterization for designing functional soft materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)In solutions, the dynamic behavior of soft materials is often critical to their function. In biological materials such as proteins and peptides, the edict that 'structure dictates function' has been supplanted in recent ... -
Dynamics in a photoresponsive surfactant system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The study of surface tension and other surface properties is motivated by the large number of industrially relevant processes involving interfaces, such as coating, detergency, printing, foams, and so forth. These surface ... -
Dynamics modeling and analysis of a Sawyer linear stepper motor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993) -
The dynamics of 'systems building' : An analysis of process mutations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984)This thesis investigates systems building in architecture. As the systems approach is an organized process for problem solving, the understanding of structural and functional relationships is essential. As systems building ... -
Dynamics of a conducting sphere between capacitor plates.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1973) -
Dynamics of a continuum characterized by a non-convex energy function
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993) -
Dynamics of a reed type valve
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1949) -
The dynamics of activity-making and travel
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Transportation modeling has played a key role in how decision makers and planners make decisions for transport networks and cities. With the increase in available technology, the complexity of the designed interventions ... -
Dynamics of agribusiness decision making in Uganda
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Uganda is a developing country in East Africa that faces high poverty rates among a confluence of socio-political issues. In the pursuit of fiscal and political stability, international development organizations are working ... -
Dynamics of an actin spring : the acrosomal process in the Limulus polyphemus sperm
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
Dynamics of an excess electron in water
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
