(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Prostate cancer persists as a major public health issue in the United States and remains the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Early detection and disease monitoring in prostate cancer can significantly improve ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Nature has evolved elegant strategies to temporally and spatially control protein activity, including the synthesis of subunits that require assembly for function, the incorporation of pro-domains that require cleavage for ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The efficient isolation of specific bioparticles in lab-on-a-chip platforms is important for many applications in clinical diagnostics and biomedical research. The majority of microfluidic devices designed for specific ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The successes of vaccines in modern medicine diminished the morbidity and mortality of many pathogenic infections. Yet, difficulties remain in improving the immunogenicity of modern subunit vaccines. In addition, isolation ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Nasal codas in English and Standard Chinese (SC) are compared to distinguish between the acoustic correlates of language-universal distinctive features and language-specific enhancing attributes. The distinctive feature ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In vivo multimodal, multiplexed microscopy allows real-time observation of hematopoietic cells, their stem and progenitor cells and metastatic cancer cells in their native bone marrow (BM) environment. Multiplexing has ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Tinnitus, the ongoing perception of sound in the absence of a physical stimulus, and hyperacusis, the intolerance of sound intensities considered comfortable by most people, are two often co-occurring clinical conditions ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The global hearing healthcare field is faced with two principal challenges. First, the demand for basic audiometric testing services far exceeds the capacity of trained clinicians even in high income countries, and this ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Speech reception depends critically on temporal modulations in the amplitude envelope of the speech signal. Reverberation encountered in everyday environments can substantially attenuate these modulations. To assess the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In natural environments, sounds are often not static. Usually, moving objects require the most attention, e.g. for identifying the presence and direction of a moving vehicle, or detecting and tracking the trajectory of a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Nearly all listening environments-indoors and outdoors alike-are full of boundary surfaces (e.g., walls, trees, and rocks) that produce acoustic reflections. These reflections interfere with the direct sound arriving at a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)One of the primary functions of the human auditory system is to separate the complex mixture of sound arriving at the ears into neural representations of individual sound sources. This function is thought to be crucial for ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)The universality of many aspects of music, such as octave-based tuning systems and the use of dissonance and consonance to create harmonic tension and resolution, suggests that their perception may have fundamental ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Visual perception of objects is a computationally challenging problem and fundamental to human well-being. Extensive previous research has revealed that the inferior temporal cortex (IT), a high-level visual area, is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Investigating the neural mechanisms underlying the perception of the pitch of harmonic complex tones is of great importance for many reasons. Changes in pitch convey melody in music, and the superposition of different ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Individuals with autism present with a constellation of social, behavioral, and cognitive symptoms. A striking characteristic is the contrast between their language and visual processing abilities. The work in this thesis ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Laryngeal dystonia (LD) is the focal laryngeal form of the neurological movement disorder called dystonia, a condition that often changes in severity depending on the posture assumed and on voluntary activity of the affected ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Text documents generally contain two forms of structures, logical structures and physical structures. Loosely speaking, logical structures are sections of text that are both visually and semantically distinct. For example, ...
