(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Creatures in nature have subtle and complicated interactions with their surrounding fluids, achieving levels of performance as yet unmatched by engineered solutions. Model-free reinforcement learning (MFRL) holds the promise ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Nearly 21 million Americans are affected by osteoarthritis, a complex disease characterized by degenerative lesions to the articular cartilage and subchondral bone in the joints. The complexity of the disease makes the use ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and the second most common cause of cancer related death in men. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood tests and digital rectal exams (DRE) are preliminary ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This thesis documents the design of a multi-axis nanopositioner that addresses a need for carbon nanotube (CNT) instrumentation that is capable of multiple modes of mechanical testing. This nanopositioner is a solution to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Multi-channel Blind System Identification (MBSI) is a technique for estimating both an unknown input and unknown channel dynamics from simultaneous output measurements at different channels through which the input signal ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)A new tool for real-time characterization of both systemic and local circulatory hemodynamics has been developed. Given two peripheral circulatory waveform measurements this new signal-processing algorithm generates two ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)As the performance of digital electronic components improves, maintaining the integrity of high-frequency signals through circuit boards becomes increasingly challenging. The dimensions and material parameters of in-plane ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The development of a domestic biofuel industry has been a major policy thrust of the United States federal government in the first decade of the 21st century. Cellulosic biofuels have been identified as the primary candidate ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The focus of this thesis was on the design and construction of a multi-finger haptic device powered by electromechanical voice-coil actuators. Five actuators were designed and constructed and a position and force feedback ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The mission of the ISN is to explore the long-range vision of the role of nanotechnology in the future of soldier protection. Unprecedented survivability will arise from the cohesive and comprehensive coordination of the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Periodic nanostructures have many exciting applications, including high-energy spectroscopy, patterned magnetic media, photonic crystals, and templates for self-assembly. Interference lithography (IL) is an attractive ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis is focused on the discovery of efficient asset allocations with the use of evolutionary algorithms. The portfolio optimization problem is a multi-objective optimization problem for the conflicting criteria of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This research is focused on the creation of evolutionary optimization techniques for the solution of time-changing multi-objective problems. Many optimization problems, ranging from the design of controllers for time-variant ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In addition to its semi-conducting properties, silicon has the ability to be manipulated with high precision at very small length- scales. This property makes it very useful in the design of Nano/Micro-Electromechanical ...
