The roles of processing, presentation and T cell receptor recognition in the T lymphocyte response to a protein antigen
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
The roles of Rb, p107, and E2f4 in bone formation and embryonic development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The pocket proteins, through their interaction with the E2F transcription factors, ensure the proper regulation of cell proliferation. By doing so, these protein complexes affect other fundamental processes such as ... -
The roles of redox active cofactors in catalysis : structural studies of iron sulfur cluster and flavin dependent enzymes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Cofactors are highly prevalent in biological systems and have evolved to take on many functions in enzyme catalysis. Two cofactors, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and [4Fe-4S] clusters, were originally determined to aid ... -
The roles of the helicase double-hexamer complex and the ssDNA-binding protein RPA during eukaryotic DNA replication
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Eukaryotic DNA replication is a complex process that must occur accurately, completely, and only once per cell cycle. To accomplish these goals, the events of DNA replication are tightly coupled to cell-cycle progression. ... -
Roles of the MicroRNA miR-31 in tumor metastasis and an experimental system for the unbiased discovery of genes relevant for breast cancer metastasis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In these studies, the microRNA miR-31 was identified as a potent inhibitor of breast cancer metastasis. miR-31 expression levels were inversely associated with the propensity to develop metastatic disease in human breast ... -
A roles-linkage perspective of the mortgage marketplace : strategic integration of electronic coordination systems and business network redesign
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
The roll of accounting in debt contract renegotiations : evidence from positive shocks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Using a hand-collected sample of private debt contracts between U.S. publicly traded firms and financial institutions, I examine the role of accounting in the renegotiation of debt contracts following a positive shock to ... -
The roll of integrins in hematopoiesis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) hold great promise for the treatment of disease. The rare frequency at which HSCs occur in the bone marrow under homeostatic conditions is a limiting factor in both their study and clinical ... -
Roll stabilization for fast monohulls by using passive and active lifting appendages
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Roll stabilization for monohulls is an important issue in naval architecture. Several methods including roll stabilization tanks, active control fins, rudder roll stabilization systems, and bilge keels are commonly used ... -
Rolling contact orthopaedic joint design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Arthroplasty, the practice of rebuilding diseased biological joints using engineering materials, is often used to treat severe arthritis of the knee and hip. Prosthetic joints have been created in a "biomimetic" manner to ... -
A Roman Catholic Parish Church in Bedford, Massachusetts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1956) -
The Roman Pantheon : scale-model collapse analyses
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The Roman Pantheon is among the largest unreinforced masonry dome ever built and is an unparalleled example of the construction capabilities of the ancient Romans. As one of the most well-known buildings in the world, its ... -
Romantic regressions : an analysis of behavior in online dating systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Online personal advertisements have shed their stigma as matchmakers for the awkward to claim a prominent role in the social lives of millions of people. Web sites for online dating allow users to post lengthy personal ... -
The roof of the cyclades : a structural, stratigraphic, and paleomagnetic study of Neogene extensional tectonics in Central Greece
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In this thesis use a variety of geological observations to address the record of Neogene crustal deformation in the Central Aegean region, thereby providing new constraints on the overall geometric and tectonic evolution ... -
Room for rent : a study of older homeowners in Boston's South End
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
A room in the city : housing itinerant lifestyles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In a globalized world, people are becoming more transient, and the turnover in cities continues to increase. For the white-collar labor force, the difference between residing and staying is becoming less defined. Hotel and ... -
A room in the room : a private spectacle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)"A Room in the Room" is a temporary site-specific installation in which I constructed a room inside of my private room, located at 352 Marlborough Street in Boston. The inner room, accessible by the second door of my room, ... -
Room temperature micromachined microbolometers for W-band (75 GHz-110 GHz) focal plane imaging array
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
A room temperature optomechanical squeezer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Decades of advancement in technologies pertaining to interferometric measurements have made it possible for us to make the first ever direct observation of gravitational waves (GWs). These GW emitted from violent events ... -
Room temperature spin-orbit torque switching induced by a topological insulator
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Recent studies on the topological insulators have attracted great attention due to the rich spin-orbit physics and promising applications in spintronic devices. The strongly spin-moment coupled electronic states have been ...
