(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Perceptual abnormalities such as hyperacusis and tinnitus often occur following acoustic overexposure. Although such exposure can also result in permanent threshold elevation, some individuals with noise-induced hyperacusis ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis addresses the design and evaluation of algorithms to improve speech reception for cochlear-implant (CI) users in adverse listening environments. We develop and assess performance metrics for use in the algorithm ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This thesis will explore the use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Transcranial DC Stimulation (tDCS) as modalities for neuropathology treatment by means of both experimental and modeling paradigms. The first ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In vivo reflectance and fluorescence spectra were collected from patients with oral lesions, as well as healthy volunteers, in order to evaluate the potential of spectroscopy to serve as a non-invasive tool for the detection ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The cambium cells of the periosteum, which are known osteoprogenitor cells, have limited suitability for clinical applications of bone tissue engineering due to their low cell number (2-5 cells thick). Extracorporeal shock ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Atherosclerosis is characterized by local remodeling of arterial structure and distensibility. Developing lesions either progress gradually to compromise tissue perfusion or rupture suddenly to cause catastrophic myocardial ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In the past decade, the practice of venture philanthropy, defined in this research as the provision of capital by a nonprofit entity to a for-profit company, has become an increasingly common asset allocation strategy for ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In the continuing search for effective treatments for cancer, the emerging model is the combination of traditional chemotherapy with anti-angiogenesis agents that inhibit blood vessel growth. However, the implementation ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Cell-based high-throughput screening is emerging as a disruptive technology in drug discovery; however, massively parallel electrical assaying of neurons and cardiomyocites has until now been prohibitively expensive. To ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Developing materials that interact effectively with surrounding tissue is a major obstacle in sensor and drug delivery research. The body's natural immune response prevents foreign objects from easily integrating with an ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and has killed over 25 million people since the disease was first recognized in 1981. As of 2007, 33 million people globally are ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The monitoring of physiological biomarkers is fundamental to the diagnosis and treatment of disease. We describe here the development of molecular sensors which can be read by magnetic resonance (MR) relaxometry. MR is an ...
