“I am not a feminist, but. . .”: hegemony of a meritocratic ideology and the limits of critique among women in engineering
(SAGE Publications, 2018-03)Engineering is often described as an enduring bastion of masculine culture where women experience marginality. Using diaries from undergraduate engineering students at four universities, the authors explore women’s ... -
I carry you in my heart : facing an incurable prenatal diagnosis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Prenatal diagnosis has given doctors the ability to predict problems before a child is even born. But what happens when the information gleaned from these tests is that the child is fatally sick? Doctors call these "futile" ... -
I go to encounter for the millionth time : the role of revision in Joyce's exploration of identity by Erin M. Fitzgerald.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Introduction: James Joyce is perhaps the most talked about and least read major writer in the English language. Virtually every modernist class and every book or article on Joyce eventually reaches a point where the professor ... -
I kappa B Kinase Regulates Social Defeat Stress-Induced Synaptic and Behavioral Plasticity
(Society for Neuroscience, 2011-01)The neurobiological underpinnings of mood and anxiety disorders have been linked to the nucleus accumbens (NAc), a region important in processing the rewarding and emotional salience of stimuli. Using chronic social defeat ... -
I only have eyes for you: Ovulation redirects attention (but not memory) to attractive men
(Elsevier, 2010-05)A number of studies have found a disjunction between women’s attention to, and memory for, handsome men. Although women pay initial attention to handsome men, they do not remember those men later. The present study examines ... -
I remember Placement : participating in the Indian Student Placement program of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

“I'm just a soul whose intentions are good”: the role of communication in noisy repeated games
(Elsevier BV, 2017-07)We let participants indicate their intended action in a repeated game experiment where actions are implemented with errors. Even though communication is cheap talk, we find that the majority of messages were honest (although ... -
I-mode: An H-mode Energy Confinement Regime with L-mode Particle Transport in Alcator C-Mod.

i-Seek : an intelligent system for eliciting and explaining knowledge
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)We propose i-Seek, an Intelligent System for Eliciting and Explaining Knowledge that leverages the OpenMind [1] Commonsense knowledge base in conjunction with domain- specific knowledge in Personal Finance, Technical Help, ... -
I-theory on depth vs width: hierarchical function composition
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), 2015-12-29)Deep learning networks with convolution, pooling and subsampling are a special case of hierar- chical architectures, which can be represented by trees (such as binary trees). Hierarchical as well as shallow networks can ... -
I-Views : a storymaking community of, by and for the audience
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)This thesis presents I-Views, a system that permits individuals to use published, communally owned media clips to author narratives by assembling clips, and to build communities of similar interests based on comparing these ... -
I. [2 +2] Cycloaddition and benzannulation of 2-iodoynamides and application to the construction of highly substituted indoles : II. Synthesis of furo[2,3-g]thieno[2,3-e]indole via a benzannulation strategy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The synthesis and reactions of 2-iodoynamides were investigated. 2-Iodoynamides undergo efficient and regioselective [2 + 2] cycloaddition with ketene to produce cyclobutenones that are useful synthetic building blocks. ... -
I. A pressure Poisson method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations : II. Long time behavior of the Klein-Gordon equations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In this thesis, we address two problems involving partial differential equations. In the first problem, we reformulate the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations into an equivalent pressure Poisson system. The new system ... -
