Exit, investment and technological diffusion in a declining industry : an empirical study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987) -
Exocompilation for Productive Programming of Hardware Accelerators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)High-performance kernel libraries are critical to exploiting accelerators and specialized instructions in many applications. Because compilers are difficult to extend to support diverse and rapidly-evolving hardware targets, ... -
Exodisk--maximizing application control over storage management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Exodus industrious : a new American dream for the next industrial revolution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Exodus Industrious has many beginnings, but few endings. Exodus Industrious is two parallel tales, told as one, which ultimately arrive at a critical moment in the history of the Americanism. Exodus is the story of capitalism ... -
Exoelectrogenic biofilm growth in shearing flows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Microbial biofouling occurs when a biofilm adheres to materials involved in liquid transport causing economic loss through corrosion and drag losses on ship hulls, and in oil and food distribution. Microorganisms interacting ... -
Exogenous drivers of public transit and ride-hailing ridership: a study of policy intervention, COVID-19, and the relationship between ride-hailing and public transit in Chicago
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-09)Public transit is a crucial component of the urban mobility system for many cities, but several recent shocks have threatened its continued function. Additionally, Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) have grown rapidly ... -
Exogenous surfactant transport through the pulmonary airways : improving surfactant replacement therapy for neonatal respiratory distress syndrome
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
The exokernel operating system architecture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)On traditional operating systems only trusted software such as privileged servers or the kernel can manage resources. This thesis proposes a new approach, the exokernel architecture, which makes resource management ... -
Exoplanet atmospheric exploration and categorization through transmission spectroscopy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Transiting exoplanets provide an amazing sample through which transmission spectroscopy observations, combined with atmospheric retrieval, can characterize the atmospheres of those planets. Out of that sample, super Earth ... -
Exoplanetary system WASP-3 : measurement of the projected spin-orbit angle and evidence for stellar activity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In this thesis, I present new spectroscopic and photometric observations of WASP-3, a transiting extrasolar planetary system. From spectra obtained during two transits, I use the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect in a simplified ... -
Exoplanetary Systems in Technicolor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)As the number of confirmed extra-solar planets surpasses 5000, our ability to characterize exoplanets has equally advanced in the era of high precision photometry afforded by instruments such as the James Webb Space ... -
Exoskin : pneumatically augmenting inelastic materials for texture changing interfaces
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Programmable materials have the power to bring to life inert materials in the world around us. Exoskin, provides a way to embed a multitude of static, rigid materials into actuatable, elastic membranes, allowing the new ... -
ExoSpotter: Few Shot Relevance Feedback For Learning High Recall Exoplanet Search
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-02)Transit photometry is a widely used method for searching exoplanets. For example, NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) utilizes this technique. However, identifying exoplanet candidates requires significant ... -
Exotic Dark Matter in the Early Universe
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-09)The fundamental nature of dark matter remains a mystery. As crucial evidence for its existence comes from its effects on early universe observables, perhaps clues to its fundamental nature also reside in its behavior in ... -
Exotic phases and quantum criticality in gapless correlated electron systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)In this thesis, I theoretically studied exotic phases of matter than arise due to strong interactions between electrons in three different scenarios. Firstly, at a stripe melting phase transition, which may be relevant for ... -
Exotic superconductivity in quantum materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)The theory of superconductivity developed by Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer has proven to correctly describe a wide class of metals, where the effective attraction between electrons is mediated by phonons. Despite huge ... -
Exotic symplectic manifolds from Lefschetz fibrations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In this thesis I construct, in all odd complex dimensions, pairs of Liouville domains W0 and W1 which are diffeomorphic to the cotangent bundle of the sphere with one extra subcritical handle, but are not symplectomorphic. ... -
Exotic V[over-bar][subscript e] -->V[over-bar][subscript slash-e] oscillations in Double Chooz
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis, we estimate the sensitivity of Double Chooz, a reactor Ve --> Ve experiment, to detect "early" neutrino oscillations based on a three-active plus one-sterile, or (3 + 1), neutrino mixing model by implementing ... -
Exp1p is a cargo adaptor for Sec24p mediated export the plasma membrane H+̳ ATPase from the ER in S. cerevisiae
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)The secretory pathway in S. cerevisiae is responsible for the folding, modification and delivery of plasma membrane and secreted proteins. The secretory pathway consists of an ordered series of organelles including the ... -
