(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Gene regulation, the process responsible for taking a static genome and producing the diversity and complexity of life, is largely mediated through the sequence specific binding of regulators. The short, degenerate nature ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Stories are an essential piece of human intelligence. They exist in countless forms and varieties seamlessly integrated into every facet of our lives. Stories fuel human understanding and our explanations of the world. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis aims at elucidating the role of auditory feedback in the learning and planning of complex articulatory gestures in time-varying phonemes. To this end, we studied native Mandarin speakers' responses to perturbations ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)As CMOS technology improves, the trend of processor designs has gone towards multi-core architectures. Networks-on-Chips (NoCs) have become popular on-chip interconnect fabrics that connect the ever-increasing cores because ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis presents a system for automatically building 3-D optical and bathymetric maps of underwater terrain using autonomous robots. The maps that are built improve the state of the art in resolution by an order of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Although there are a variety of high-throughput technologies used to perform biological experiments, DNA microarrays have become a standard tool in the modern biologist's arsenal. Microarray experiments provide measurements ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis has two flavors: 1. A theory of universal multi-user communication with fidelity criteria: We prove the optimality of digital communication for universal multi-user communication with fidelity criteria, both ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Tremendous advances in recent years to the optical frequency comb, particularly frequency combs deriving from solid-state and fiber architectures, have enabled a host of important new applications to emerge - applications ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Costly cooperative strategies are vulnerable to exploitation by cheats. Microbial studies have suggested that cooperation can be maintained in nature by mechanisms such as reciprocity, spatial structure and multi-level ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis describes two algorithms for exact decoding of phrase-based translation models, based on Lagrangian relaxation. Both methods recovers exact solutions, with certificates of optimality, on over 99% of test examples. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)We describe an approach to automate certain high-level implementation decisions in a pervasive application, allowing them to be postponed until run time. Our system enables a model in which an application programmer can ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Wireless networks and communications promise to allow improved access to services and information, ubiquitous connectivity, and mobility. However, current wireless networks are not well-equipped to meet the high bandwidth ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Despite the increasing volume of data in modern statistical applications, critical patterns and events have often little, if any, representation. This is not unreasonable, given that such variables are critical precisely ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)As silicon CMOS transistors have scaled, increasing the density and energy efficiency of computation on a single chip, the off-chip communication link to memory has emerged as the major bottleneck within modern processors. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The PZT cellular actuator developed in the MIT d'Arbeloff Laboratory utilizes small-strain, high-force PZT stack actuators in a mechanical flexure system to produce a larger-strain, lower-force actuator useful in robotic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In the past two decades, there has been a surge in the research of new thermoelectric (TE) materials, driven party by the need for clean and sustainable power generation technology. Utilizing the Seebeck effect, the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Somatic cells can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent stem-cell state by ectopic expression of defined proteins. However, existing reprogramming methods take several weeks, suffer from low efficiencies, and most use DNA-based ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Variability characterization and analysis in advanced technologies are needed to ensure robust performance as well as improved process capability. This thesis presents a framework for device variability characterization ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Ti:Sapphire mode-locked lasers are a unique technology that enables a wide variety of applications. Owing to the ultrabroadband nature of the Ti:sapphire crystal and the invention of precisely engineered dispersion-compensating ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Narrative structure is an ubiquitous and intriguing phenomenon. By virtue of structure we recognize the presence of Villainy or Revenge in a story, even if that word is not actually present in the text. Narrative structure ...
