Printed inorganic transistors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Forty years of exponential growth of semiconductor technology have been predicated on the miniaturization of the transistors that comprise integrated circuits. While complexity has greatly increased within a given area of ... -
Printing a glass ecology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)In this thesis, I explore relationships between form generation, material properties, and design constraints in search of a new framework for designing with unpredictable or unstable material systems using glass 3D printing ... -
Printing ferromagnetic domains in soft materials : mechanism, modeling, and applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Soft materials capable of transforming between three-dimensional (3D) shapes have applications in areas as diverse as flexible electronics, soft robotics, and biomedicine. This thesis introduces a method of printing ... -
Printing the invisible : bridging the gap between data and matter through voxel-based 3D printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Scientific visualizations are central to the representation and communication of data in ways that are at once efficient and effective. Numerous data types have established unique formats of representation. In the context ... -
Printing the vernacular : 3D printing technology and its impact on the City of Sana'a, Yemen
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This thesis project is a speculative proposal; it assumes that 3D printing technology is a major manufacturing and construction method in the future. The industrial revolution that has begun in the 19th century was the ... -
Prion biology in the context of bacteria
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Prions are infectious amyloid aggregates first described in the context of mammalian neurodegenerative diseases collectively known as the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Prions have also been uncovered in yeast, ... -
Prion protein in health and disease
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The prion protein (PrP) is a conserved glycoprotein tethered to cell membranes by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor. In mammals, PrP is expressed in many tissues, most abundantly in brain, heart, and muscle. Importantly, ... -
Prior information for brain parcellation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)To better understand brain disease, many neuroscientists study anatomical differences between normal and diseased subjects. Frequently, they analyze medical images to locate brain structures influenced by disease. Many of ... -
The prior thiol capture method for peptide synthesis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984) -
A priori analysis of global and local output error estimates for CG, DG and HDG finite element discretizations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In this thesis, a priori convergence estimates are developed for outputs, output error estimates, and localizations of output error estimates for Galerkin finite element methods. Specifically, Continuous Galerkin (CG), ... -
A priori and on-line route optimization for unmanned underwater vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The U.S. military considers Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) a critical component of the future for two primary reasons - they are effective force multipliers and a significant risk-reducing agent. As the military's ... -
A Priori vision : the transcendence of pre-ontological sight : the disparity of externalizing the internal architecture of creation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The completion of any visual work is not an arrival, but furthered from the origin, the inner plane of perspective, which is so readily lent from the context of communicating the seemingly coded space from which I am ... -
Priorities for the Mexico City International Airport under privatization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Prioritization : a critical study of the "TIP Program" of the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), of the Boston region
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
Prioritization and control of order picking system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Order Picking System (OPS) efficiency at a warehouse was studied with the goal of reducing production order lead time to 8 hours. Current material flow system and strategy were studied through interviews with personnel ... -
Prioritization and integration of lean initiatives with theory of constraints
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The principles of lean manufacturing have taken hold in a number of manufacturing firms as a means of achieving operational excellence through continuous improvement. Womack and Jones have suggested a generalized process ... -
Prioritized text spotting using SLAM
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)We show how to exploit temporal and spatial coherence of image observations to achieve efficient and effective text detection and decoding for a sensor suite moving through an environment rich in text at a variety of scales ... -
Prioritizing inbound transportation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Retailers must coordinate inbound shipments from a large number of vendors. In order to manage capacity, retailers need to have a system to prioritize inbound loads with capacitated carriers. This practice creates a ... -
Prioritizing stakeholder concerns in environmental risk management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)The management of environmental programs affects a great variety of issues and involves several stakeholders with diverse, and often conflicting, concerns. Any methodology proposed for environmental decision making should, ... -
Priority arguments in α-recursion theory,
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972)
