(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The efficacy of hyperthermia therapy can be enhanced if a thermal management system is available for therapy planning, delivery and evaluation. The integrated thermal management system is not yet available, though some ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The first part of this thesis is concerned with the solution structure determination problem. Whereas many biomacromolecules, such as proteins, can be adequately characterized by a single conformation in solution, numerous ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)The recent fish population decline due to increased human presence has led to calls for predictive methods to help reverse or stabilize the situation. It has been difficult, however, to establish such methods primarily due ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A study was performed to determine possible factors that contribute to successful implementation of new technologies in developing nations. Engineers and other inventors have devoted great effort to Appropriate Technology ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The permeability of reverse osmosis membranes is limited by the diffusive transport of water across a non-porous polyamide active layer. Alternatively, fabricating a microporous active layer capable of rejecting salt ions ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)In the middle of the 2015 Major League Baseball season there was a sudden increase in home run rate. Such a sudden league-wide change is difficult to explain, and many baseball pundits suggested that a "juiced" or altered ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Force, due either to haemodynamic shear stress or relayed directly to the cell through adhesion complexes, is transmitted and translated into biological signals. This process is known as mechanotransduction. Extensive ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This thesis seeks to establish solutions to the issue of electric motor heating and the problems it presents for use of these motors in biomechatronic applications. As electric motors are used, their windings heat up and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Membrane-based reverse osmosis (RO), which accounts for over 40% of the current worldwide desalination capacity, is limited by the solution-diffusion mode of water transport through a tortuous polymeric active layer. ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)An investigation into the failure of pneumatic actuators on the HypoSurface was conducted to provide information on the current HypoSurface prototype. Using a systematic approach throughout testing, piston components were ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)The fluid-dynamic design of hydrofoils to support marine crafts at high speeds has received growing interest in recent years. Physics involved in the design of high-speed surface-piercing hydrofoils is complex involving ...
