Ca2+ dependant synaptic modification
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)It has been assumed that Ca2+ influx of different duration and amplitude would generate different level of potentiation. The conventional protocols of generating LTP have been 1. tetanic stimulation of presynaptic cell, ... -
Cable train : a platform for in-situ manufacturing of underground cable
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)As the demand for and viability of renewable energies has increased, connecting remote power generation stations to demand centers has become more important. High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission systems offer ... -

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986) -
Calculation of extreme towline tension during open ocean towing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Calculation of friction factors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1936) -
Calculation of the axial charge of a heavy nucleon in Lattice QCD
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In this thesis, we aim to calculate the non-renormalized axial charge gA of a heavy nucleon made out of quarks at the physical mass of the strange quark. We present the framework of Lattice QCD which makes the calculation ... -

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985) -
Calibration and performance of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) bench rig for NOx̳ emissions control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)A laboratory test rig was designed and built to easily test SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology. Equipped with three 6 kW heaters, connections for liquid N2 and an assortment of test gases, and a connection with ... -
Calibration of sonographic gel probe covers for in-vivo mechanical testing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Cervical insufficiency is a condition in pregnancy in which the cervix asymptomatically dilates in the absence of uterine contractions, resulting in a spontaneous preterm delivery. The condition is often misdiagnosed and ... -

CapaCity In the Sky
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Manhattan, as a model of a city with little room for lateral growth, is a good example of one driven by verticality. But verticality has its drawbacks with little light penetrating the dense urban jungle, populated by its ... -
Capsizing of ships : static and dynamic analysis of wind effect and cost implications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Capsizing of small vessels, such as commercial fishing vessels, is a frequent event. This phenomenon is generally associated with the combined action of storm seas, inadequate design parameter regulations, and dangerous ... -
Capsule homes : creating space within space
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Inspired by my final Studio IV project in 2010, the Capsule Hotel, and the growing demand for efficient housing due to overcrowding in developing cities, this thesis explores, examines and realizes the need for compact ... -
Carbon fiber substitution in shipboard instrument structural mounts for vibration and shock isolation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Insufficient support and isolation of rotating and non-rotating shipboard equipment and instruments may cause damage to the components or the ship itself. Reduction of noise emissions to the ship's hull and protection of ... -
Carbon nanotubes : a study on assembly methods
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The urgent stipulation is to manufacture CNTs of desired properties and dimensions. The heart of this yearning lies in understanding the growth and assembly methods of CNTs, which are not yet clear. In this study, hence, ...
