  • Nanoseconds for the masses 
    VanWyk, Eric (Eric Judson) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    High precision voltage measurement has become a hidden part of our daily lives. Our phones, our wearables, and even our household appliances now include precision measurement capability that rivals what was once only ...
  • Nanostructure fabrication by electron and ion beam patterning of nanoparticles 
    Kong, David Sun, 1979- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
    Two modes of energetic beam-mediated fabrication have been investigated, namely focused ion beam (FIB) direct-writing of nanoparticles, and a technique for electrostatically patterning ionized inorganic nanoparticles, ...
  • Narrative guidance of interactivity 
    Galyean, Tinsley Azariah (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
  • Natural language and spatial reasoning 
    Tellex, Stefanie, 1980- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
    Making systems that understand language has long been a dream of artificial intelligence. This thesis develops a model for understanding language about space and movement in realistic situations. The system understands ...
  • Navigating a spatialized speech environment throught simultaneous listening within a hallway metaphor 
    Maher, Brenden Courtney, 1966- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
  • Nervebox : a control system for machines that make music 
    Cavatorta, Andrew Albert (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
    The last 130 years of musical invention are punctuated with fascinating musical instruments that use the electromechanical actuation to turn various natural phenomena into sound and music. But this history is very sparse ...
  • Networked Playscapes : redefining the playground 
    Navarro, Edwina Portocarrero (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    In recent years the world became mostly urban, communication untethered and objects surpassed humans connected to the Internet. We are being shaped by the intersection of urbanization and ubiquitous computing. "Smart Cities" ...
  • Networked tactics for gender representation in the news 
    Matias, J. Nathan (Jorge Nathan) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
    This thesis presents research on gender disparities in online news, followed with three open source designs that attempt to address those disparities. Open Gender Tracker is a platform that applies automated gender analysis ...
  • Network exploration effects in machine and human groups 
    Calacci, Dan (Daniel Matthew) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    It's long been known that humans, like many animals, exhibit patterns of behavior that appear to balance exploration of new opportunity and resources with exploitation of already-found safe bets. Humans seem to leverage ...
  • New expressive percussion instruments 
    Aimi, Roberto Mario, 1973- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
    This thesis presents several new percussion instruments that explore the ideas of musical networks; playing, recording, and developing musical material; continuous control over rhythm and timbre; pressure sensing; and ...
  • New frontiers of expression through real-time dynamics measurement of violin bows 
    Young, Diana S. (Diana Santos), 1975- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
    The violin has long been admired as one of the most beautiful, complex, and challenging musical instruments. With its capacity for nuance, richness of tone, and flexibility of range, its expressive qualities have been ...
  • New materials for teaching computational thinking in early childhood education 
    Smith, Kimberly, S.M. (Kimberly Ann) Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    The need for computer science education is greater than ever. There are currently over 500,000 unfilled computer science jobs in the United States and many schools do not teach computer science in their classrooms. Computers ...
  • News and education : creation of "The Classroom Chronicle" 
    Kortekaas, L. Mark (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
  • NewsComm--a hand-held device for interactive access to structured audio 
    Roy, Deb Kumar, 1969- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
  • News Matter : embedding human intuition in machine intelligence through interactive data visualizations 
    Rubinovitz, Yasmine (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    In this era of luxurious information, we are free to access as many news stories as we want. However, news is so abundant that people don't have the time to consume all of it, nor the time to select which stories they want ...
  • NewsTalk--a speech interface to a personalized information agent 
    Herman, Jeffrey Alan (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
  • NewsTime--a graphical user interface to audio news 
    Horner, Christopher D. (Christopher Demetri) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993)
  • Next generation CAT system 
    Kim, Jaewon, S.M. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
    Two novel techniques for future CAT system are presented. Transmission descattering is a singleshot method to differentiate unscattered and scattered components of light transmission through a scattering material. ...
  • Noninvasive optical inhibition with a red-shifted microbial rhodopsin 
    Chuong, Amy (Amy S.) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
    Optogenetic inhibition of neurons enables the causal assessment of their contributions to brain functions, but a limit to the utility of optogenetic modulation is the quantity of neural tissue that can be successfully ...
  • A nonlinear dynamic system for spread spectrum code acquisition 
    Vigoda, Benjamin William, 1973- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
    Nonlinear differential equations and iterated maps can perform any computation. Sometimes, the most difficult part of performing a useful computation, however, is writing the program. Furthermore, in practice, we often ...
