Polyhedral Code Transformation for Julia
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)Central processing unit (CPU) code performance is highly dependent on instruction and data parallelism. Instruction parallelism is largely focused on CPU cores and threading, while data parallelism relies on specialized ... -
Polyhedral structure of a capacitated network design problem with an application to the telecommunication industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
Polyhedral structure of the product cycling problem with changeover costs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990) -
Polymer and carbon nanotube materials for chemical sensors and organic electronics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This thesis details the development of new materials for high-performance chemical sensing as well as organic electronic applications. In Chapter 2, we develop a chemiresistive material based on single-walled carbon nanotubes ... -
Polymer and covalent functionalization of single walled carbon nanotubes for electronic sensor applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)In this thesis, chemiresistive devices for the detection of volatile organic compounds to include chemical warfare agents are developed. Active sensing materials were produced by crafting composites of synthetic polymers ... -
Polymer and sphere diffusion in confinement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)We use video microscopy and particle tracking to study the diffusion of both colloidal spheres and polymers in slit microchannels. The molecules are allowed to sample the entire height of the microchannel. We find that the ... -
Polymer coated superparamagnetic beads walking on polymer coated surface
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Biology has provided us with many organisms that are able to propel themselves through a fluid using cilia or flagella. This provides inspiration to create controllable systems that cannot only propel an organism or device ... -
Polymer Electrolyte Discovery via Rational Design and High Throughput Methods
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Storage of electrical energy is a cornerstone in the global endeavor to lower greenhouse gas emissions—in particular, electrochemical energy storage in the form of batteries can enable the electrification of transport ... -

Polymer microspheres for vaccine delivery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Polymer models of chromosomes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Studies of chromosomes have a long history. Since late XIX century, microscopy studies have revealed that chromosomal organization as seen by light microscopy is different among organisms, cell types, or stages of the cell ... -
Polymer substrates with microneedles for epidermis injection
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Injections of medicine into the body are commonplace, whether they be intravenous or capsules. The benefit of using a macroneedle for injecting cargo into the circulatory system is its simplicity. However, introduction of ... -
Polymer synthesis for corona phase molecular recognition based on single-walled carbon nanotubes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Current work within Strano Research Group shows that single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) wrapped with methacrylic acid-styrene heteropolymer (MA-ST) can be used for specific corona phase molecular recognition (CoPhMoRe) ... -
Polymer-based solvents for minimizing pollution during the synthesis of fine chemicals
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Polymer-coated iron oxide nanoparticles for medical imaging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)One of the most versatile and safe materials used in medicine are polymer-coated iron oxide nanoparticles. This dissertation describes several formulations for in vivo imaging applications. The paramagnetic polymer-coated ...
