Homopolar bearingless slice motors with magnet-free rotors for extracorporeal life support
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a medical therapy that uses an external blood pump and oxygenator to provide cardiac or cardiopulmonary support. One common system-related challenge is to reduce blood damage, e.g., ... -
Homotopically nontrivial area contracting maps
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)In this thesis, we investigate the existence of area contracting maps in a given ho-motopy class. In particular, we give various generalizations of Guth’s h-principle for k-dilation of maps between spheres to other manifolds. ... -

A homotopy theory for stacks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)We give a homotopy theoretic characterization of stacks on a site C which allows one to think of stacks as the homotopy sheaves of groupoids on C. We use this characterization to construct a model category, that is a formal ... -
The homotopy type of the matroid Grassmannian
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)In this thesis, I establish a homotopy equivalence between the matroid Grassmannian [parallel] MacP(k, n) [parallel] and the real Grassmannian G(k, n) of k-planes in [Real set]n. This is accomplished by finding a Schubert ... -
A homotopy-based hierarchical framework for semi-autonomous/autonomous vehicle navigation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles have been of interest for reasons such as safety, efficiency, and convenience. The thesis proposes a homotopy-based hierarchical motion planning and control framework for vehicle ... -
Honduras wastewater treatment : chemically enhanced primary treatment and sustainable secondary treatment technologies for use with Imhoff tanks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)(cont.) However, it is doubtful the costs associated with dosages required to achieve these removals are sustainable for communities such as Las Vegas. To address these deficiencies further sustainable practices for ... -
Hong Kong : city of edges : South East Kowloon development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)Many extraordinary cities are developed along the edges of water into different directions. Yet, the city of Hong Kong has been formed along narrow strips of scarce flat-land around the harbor and from reclamations of ... -
Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta : strategies for the cross-border management of water resources
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Internationally, analysts have increased their technical sophistication and geographical scope of water issues and water-management policies. They have determined the impacts of water quality and demand upon ecological ... -
Hong Kong Time: Rethinking sustainable mobility and the 15-minute city in the context of equity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Cities around the world are going car-free. With concepts like the 15-minute city, planners and policymakers are investing in more sustainable transit modes: walking, biking, and public transit. Though this shift is critical ... -

Hook-ups : how youth learn through creating physical computer interfaces
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The Hook-ups project introduces a new set of tools, materials, and activities intended to support children in creating physical computer input devices for computer programs they write. This project introduces a new approach ... -

Hope-Hopping
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)This collection of texts, accompanied by a series of artworks, speculates upon a new artistic ecology of displacement that emerges at the intersection between post-coloniality, cosmopolitanism, and technopolitics. Exilic ... -
