Input-output biomolecular systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)The ability of cells to sense and respond to their environment is encoded in biomolecular reaction networks, in which information travels through processes such as production, modification, and removal of biomolecules. ... -
Input/output linearization of uncertain systems with time delay control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993) -
Inquiries into the behavior of emerging market firms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)This dissertation addresses two aspects of firm behavior in emerging markets. Chapters 1 and 3 consider the decision of firms to borrow in domestic or foreign currency and the implications of this decision on fixed capital ... -
Inquiring into architectural texts : towards an interpretation of architectural knowledge
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)An investigation was carried out on the contents of the architectural texts in order to illuminate written architectural knowledge. The thesis takes as its case study the required reading list for Introduction to Architecture ... -
An inquiry into group self-assessment.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978) -
An inquiry into interactive elements in thinking in the visual arts and science : a pedagogical experience
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978) -
InReach : navigating and manipulating 3D models using natural body gestures in a remote collaboration setup
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Remote collaboration systems present audio and video representations of separate meeting spaces, but they do not support pointing towards and manipulating content in a shared digital space. InReach explores how remote ... -
Inrush transient generation and line impedance estimation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)An inrush transient contains extensive information that permits load identification, condition monitoring, and line impedance estimation. A power system monitor's (PSM) ability to identify a load based on its inrush behavior ... -
The ins and outs of keeping US service jobs at work
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The purpose of this research is to discuss employment in the United States (US) service sector. The main concern is not pinpointing numerical estimates, but instead identifying trends which lead to job growth or job loss. ... -
Insecurity and success in organizational life : the psychodynamics of leaders and managers.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1979) -
Insertional mutagenesis in zebrafish using a pseudotyped retroviral vector
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
The inside pitch--recent efforts at planning the urban stadium
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
Inside the circle, outside the square : analysis of traditional Chinese architecture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983)This thesis deals with a process of analyzing specific examples in traditional Chinese architecture in an attempt to understand and identify the underlying principles that make it essentially Chinese. The basic intent is ... -
Inside the conductor's jacket : analysis, interpretation and musical synthesis of expressive gesture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)We present the design and implementation of the Conductor's Jacket, a unique wearable device that measures physiological and gestural signals, together with the Gesture Construction, a musical software system that interprets ... -
Inside the Moral Nexus: On Wrongs, Rights, and Normative Powers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Common sense morality recognises a distinction between doing something that is wrong, and wronging someone in particular: littering is wrong, but stealing from your neighbour or trampling their flowerbed wrongs them in ... -
Inside-out : a design investigation of the exchange between the built elements and the natural elements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)A tent exposes the very direct relationship between man, shelter, and the natural elements (air, sun, water and earth) - a relationship that excites our minds and generates the memories by which we measure real time. How ... -
Inside/out : mirrors for reflective, creative thinking
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In this document I present three tools for reflective, creative thinking: Pillow-Talk, the NeverEnding Drawing Machine and Calliope. These tools make use of the "distorted mirror" metaphor for self-reflection. They are ... -
Insiders and outsiders : nuclear arms control experts in Cold War America
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This dissertation presents a history of the community of nuclear arms control experts in the United States during the middle and later years of the Cold War, the age of thermonuclear ballistic missiles. Arms control experts ... -
Insight : interactive machine learning for complex graphics selection
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Modern vector graphics editors support the creation of a wonderful variety of complex designs and artwork. Users produce highly realistic illustrations, stylized representational art, even nuanced data visualizations. In ... -
Insight into chemical, biological, and physical processes in coastal waters from dissolved oxygen and inert gas tracers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)In this thesis, I use coastal measurements of dissolved O₂ and inert gases to provide insight into the chemical, biological, and physical processes that impact the oceanic cycles of carbon and dissolved gases. Dissolved ...
