(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Chapter 1. An Introduction to Self-Assembled Monolayers & Surface Characterization A brief summary of the formation, structure, and characterization techniques of self assembled monolayers (SAMs) is described. The ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The main goal of this thesis was to systematically characterize the detection sensitivity, temporal response, and spatial resolution of IRON contrast for fMRI within the awake, behaving monkey. Understanding these issues ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients in resource-poor settings experience large delays in starting appropriate drug regimens and are often not monitored appropriately due to an overburdened health care system, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Thrombosis is an initiating response to vascular injury. Physiologically, this process aids in the repair and remodeling of the vessel wall. However, if left unchecked, luminal occlusion may rapidly occur. The coronary ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the United States. It is the most common cause of death in women ages 45-55. Optical techniques can potentially play a diagnostic role in several aspects ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of mortality in developed nations. Current diagnostic techniques are not able to provide the information that is related to the majority of associated complications. Raman ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Vaccines have revolutionized medicine by increasing the life expectancy of children and substantially decreasing the morbidity of multiple infectious diseases worldwide. Over several decades, we have acquired significant ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)An Electrolarynx (EL) is a battery-powered device that produces a sound that can be used to acoustically excite the vocal tract as a substitute for laryngeal voice production. ELs provide laryngectomy patients with the ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Magnetic resonance diffusion imaging provides an exquisitely sensitive probe of tissue microstructure. Owing to the microscopic length scale of diffusion in biological tissues, diffusion imaging can reveal histological ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may soon become the first FDA-approved stem cell therapy for autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Our lab originally hypothesized that much of the therapeutic activity of MSCs may ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Hemodynamics has long been identified as a major factor in the determination and localization of atherosclerotic lesions. While the precise mechanism by which different hemodynamic factors act is not yet clear, the fact ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Drug eluting stents have revolutionized the practice of medicine and the landscape of medical devices. Yet, more than four years after introduction clinical trial data and clinical use have still not fully clarified what ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The degree of irregularity apparent in the discharge patterns of electrically stimulated auditory-nerve fibers depends upon the stimulation rate. Whereas fibers fire regularly at low stimulation rates, the same fibers fire ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Solid tumors require blood vessels for growth, and the goal of anti-angiogenic therapy is to destroy the tumor vasculature. Recent findings suggest that anti-angiogenic therapy enhances radiation and chemotherapy responses. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This thesis presents a novel optical technique, light scattering spectroscopy (LSS), developed for quantitative characterization of tissue morphology as well as in vivo detection and diagnosis of the diseases associated ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)This thesis examines the problem of resource allocation in Africa to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It focuses on the use of one specific technology, the anti-HIV antibody test. After describing the characteristics of the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Many hearing aids introduce nonlinear compressive gain to accommodate the reduced dynamic range that often accompanies hearing loss. Unfortunately, when applied independently at either ear, this gain can introduce fluctuations ...
