(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)(cont.) is dictated by the solvent accessibility of structures. The distinct intrinsic tendencies of sequence and structure profiles are most pronounced at long periods, where sequence hydrophobicity fluctuates less, while ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Higher organisms, such as humans, have an adaptive immune system that usually enables them to successfully combat diverse (and evolving) microbial pathogens. The adaptive immune system is not preprogrammed to respond to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies of the high-T superconductors have led to a number of important discoveries. In particular, STM has revealed spatial patterns in electronic density due to phenomena such as ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In this thesis I discuss various aspects of Witten's cubic string field theory. After a brief review of the basics of string field theory we begin by showing how string field theory can be used to check certain conjectures ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis we present some works done during my doctoral studies. These results focus on two directions. The first one is motivated by tachyon dynamics in open string theory. We calculate the stress tensors for the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)For many years, it was thought that Landau's theory of symmetry breaking could describe essentially all phases and phase transitions. However, in the last twenty years, it has become clear that at zero temperature, quantum ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In this thesis, we begin by studying selected fluctuation observables in order to locate the QCD critical point in heavy-ion collision experiments. In particular, we look at the non-monotonic behavior as a function of the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)I discuss the significance of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model (AFHM) in both high-energy and condensed-matter physics, and proceed to describe an efficient cluster algorithm used to simulate the AFHM. This is one ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Two sets of studies are described in this thesis. The first describes studies conducted with sodium Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) while the second focuses on the pairing of fermionic lithium-6 pairs in an optical lattice ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In this thesis we discuss the general spatial structure of quantum entanglement in local many-body systems. A central theme is the organizing power of the renormalization group for thinking about many-body entanglement. ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The use of high-pT particles as calibrated probes has proven to be an effective tool for understanding the properties of the system produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions. In this thesis, two such measurements are ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Analysis of HETE-II data is discussed with the aim of understanding the intrinsic properties of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). A technique is developed that allows the simultaneous estimation of source and background counts ...
