In search of appropriate architecture : a jamat khana in Hunza, Pakistan
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)In today's world of technological advancement, communication has become easier than ever before. This, along with its benefits, has inflicted severe blows to architecture in developing nations. Concepts have been imitated ... -
In search of effectiveness : innovative management techniques in the department of social services
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983) -
In search of functional specificity in the brain : generative models for group fMRI data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In this thesis, we develop an exploratory framework for design and analysis of fMRI studies. In our framework, the experimenter presents subjects with a broad set of stimuli/tasks relevant to the domain under study. The ... -
In search of hidden landscapes and new surfaces : fields and filters of architecture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Serigraphy is an art print process which consists of a stencil technique. It is assembled through a series of layers containing fields of colors, which are superimposed in a single surface to create an image. Serigraphy ... -
In search of martensite : titanium-tantalum shape-memory alloy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)There is a broad range of life-saving medical implants and devices that rely on the shape-memory (SME) and superelastic properties of various nickel-based alloys [8]. Unfortunately, there is also serious concern about the ... -
In search of Mg battery cathode materials - a migration energy high-throughput screening machinery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)In this thesis, we demonstrate the results and progress of developing a high-throughput migration energy calculation machinery and applying it in search for Mg battery cathode materials. We discuss the key challenge of ... -
In search of optimal contracts in the construction building industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
In search of order : the transformation and re-use of midwestern grain elevators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990)We filter the reality of the world through our perceptions, gaged by memories of past experience. It is the task of art, and therefore architecture, to bring us closer to the reality of the world--to somehow raise our level ... -
In search of symbioses : an assessment of the relationships between two industrial estates and their adjacent communities in Trinidad, West Indies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)After gaining independence in 1962, the government of Trinidad and Tobago chose to pursue economic development via industrialization, and specific to its case, through resource-based industrialization (RBI), that is, the ... -
In search of the elusive gizmo: or, have you seen my ultimate mechanical goody lately?
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1971) -
In search of the master builder : government use of design/build contracts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990) -
In search of the paperless office : the structuring waves of technological change
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993) -
In search of the silver lining : case analysis for mature market businesses
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The business models of industries addressing consumers over the age of 55 are examined. A 3-D framework: Define, Design, and Deliver is developed to provide an understanding of notable failures in the mature market. Case ... -
In search of water : Aqua Exhibition Center in Erie Basin, Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The main purpose of this thesis is to provide a solution to the underutilized and abandoned drydock and defamiliarized water in New York Shipyard within the Brooklyn Waterfront caused by a rapid change in maritime technology. ... -
In sickness and in wealth : hospitals, community benefits, and the Affordable Care Act
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)The new community benefit guidelines for non-profit hospitals enacted by the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) present major opportunities for the public health and planning fields alike. Given that ... -
In silico methods for screening combination drug therapies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Drug cocktails are an effective tool for treating many complex diseases, such as cancer and AIDS. However, developing new combination therapies is challenging, due to the combinatorial nature of the search space. Machine ... -
In silico tools for the development of biotherapeutics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The production of a new drug is an inherently risky process. While there are many causes for failure, a number of these are due to the many potential degradation pathways a protein can undergo. Often these reactions are ... -
In situ chemical analysis of biological tissue--vibrational Raman spectroscopy of human atheroschlerosis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
In situ color control for reflection holography
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987) -
In situ control of lubricant properties for reduction of power cylinder friction through thermal barrier coating
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Lowering lubricant viscosity to reduce friction generally carries a side effect of increased metal-metal contact in mixed or boundary lubrication, for example near top ring reversal along the engine cylinder liner. A ...
