Lensing Machines : representing perspective in machine learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Generative models are venerated as full probabilistic models that randomly generate observable data given a set of latent variables that cannot be directly observed. They can be used to simulate values for variables in the ... -
Lenticular Objects: 3D Printed Objects with Lenticular Lens Surfaces That Can Change their Appearance Depending on the Viewpoint
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)This thesis describes a method that makes 3D objects appear differently under different viewpoints. We accomplished this by 3D printing lenticular lenses across the curved surface of objects. By calculating the lens ... -
A lentiviral screen for novel regulators of IL-7R[alpha] in a pre-B cell line
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)IL-7R[alpha] is one component of the heterodimeric IL-7R[alpha] receptor, and signaling through this receptor is essential for murine T and B cell development as well as human T cell development. IL-7R[alpha] signaling is ... -
A lentiviral system for RNAi transgenesis and the Ena/VASP triple-knockout defines neuronal and non-neuronal functions in mouse development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Mammalian development extends and exploits signaling pathways that function exclusively in axon guidance in lower organisms. This emerging paradigm employs complex expression patterns of expanded protein families to achieve ... -
Leon Baptista Alberti : the philosophy of cultural criticism
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986)This dissertation investigates Leon Baptista Alberti's cultural critique, taking into consideration a broad spectrum of Alberti's writings, including many which have remained relatively unknown and ignored. Alberti developed ... -
Leon Trotsky: a psychobiographical study.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1968) -
Leonard Bloomfield and the phonology of the Menomini language.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1967) -
LEONET analysis--a procedure for optimizing ground terminal locations to support near Earth missions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Lepton-Nucleus Constraints for Neutrino Interactions and Oscillations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Currently running and forthcoming precision neutrino oscillation experiments aim to unambiguously determine the neutrino mass ordering, the charge-parity violating phase in the lepton sector and the possible existence of ... -
Les regles phonologiques tardives et la morphologie derivationnelle du francais. (Topics in French phonology and derivational morphology).
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1970) -
LesionAir : a low-cost tool for automated skin cancer diagnosis and mapping
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States; one out of every five Americans develops skin cancer at some point in their lifetime. Diagnosing cancerous lesions early is critical as it significantly ... -
Less-skilled workers & the high-technology economy : a regional jobs strategy for Lawrence, MA
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)This research is designed to help job training and economic development practitioners think constructively about the nature of disconnects between low-wage cities and high-wage surrounding regions. Lawrence, MA is used as ... -
Lessons for China from a comparison of logistics in the U.S. and China
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Logistics efficiency is low in China. In 2008, total logistics costs accounted for 18.1% of gross domestic product (GDP) in China, which was almost twice that of the United States. Increasing logistics efficiency can save ... -
Lessons for Chinese mega-mall development : a case study of the South China Mall
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)China is embracing mega-mall development: Seven out of the ten largest shopping malls in the world will have been located in China by the year 2010. All the completed mega-malls are now suffering from high vacancy rates ... -
Lessons from a rare disease
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Progeria is a genetic aging disease of childhood affecting an estimated one in four to eight million births. Children with progeria experience a range of developmental disorders and aging-like symptoms, including wrinkled ... -
Lessons from Omaha : an analysis of the investment methods and business philosophy of Warren Buffett.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
Lessons from science city projects and their success factors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Globalization has drastically improved latecomer countries' access to advanced technologies. To the extent that technology upgrading is important for development, it provides a unique opportunity for latecomer countries ... -
Lessons from the landscape of six-dimensional supergravity theories
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Comparing the set of supergravity theories allowed by low-energy consistency conditions with the set of string vacua provides useful insights into quantum gravity and string theory. In fact, such a "landscape analysis" for ... -
Lessons from the underground : the pedagogic possibility of urban infrastructure
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)There is no end of superlatives regarding Boston's Central Artery/Tunnel project [CA/T] , also known as "The Big Dig". Each day, as the budget grows and the construction progresses, another benchmark is passed. It has been ... -
