  • Development of tunable terahertz quantum cascade wire lasers 
    Qin, Qi, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    For a long time, terahertz (THz) radiation has been of great interest to scientific community because of its spectroscopic and imaging applications based on its unique properties, such as the capabilities to penetrate many ...
  • A theoretical analysis of interstitial hydrogen : pressure-composition-temperature, chemical potential, enthalpy and entropy 
    Orondo, Peter Omondi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    We provide a first principles analysis of the physics and thermodynamics of interstitial hydrogen in metal. By utilizing recent advances in Density Functional Theory (DFT) to get state energies of the metal-hydrogen system, ...
  • MobiTest : an evaluation infrastructure for mobile distributed applications 
    Sivaraman Kaushalram, Anirudh (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    Sophisticated applications that run on mobile devices have become commonplace. Within the wide realm of mobile software applications there exists a significant number that make use of networking in some form. Unfortunately, ...
  • Flying between obstacles with an autonomous knife-edge maneuver 
    Barry, Andrew J. (Andrew James) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    We develop an aircraft and control system that is capable of repeatedly performing a high speed (7m/s or 16 MPH) "knife-edge" maneuver through a gap that is smaller than the aircraft's wingspan. The maneuver consists of ...
  • Generative models of brain connectivity for population studies 
    Venkataraman, Archana, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    Connectivity analysis focuses on the interaction between brain regions. Such relationships inform us about patterns of neural communication and may enhance our understanding of neurological disorders. This thesis proposes ...
