C L I M A + : an early design natural ventilation prediction method
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)One of the most widely discussed passive building design strategies is using natural ventilation for cooling. In addition to providing fresh air, which enhances occupant productivity and comfort, strategic implementation ... -
C-Flow : a compiler for statically scheduled message passing in parallel programs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Performance improvement in future microprocessors will rely more on the exploitation of parallelism than increases in clock frequency, leading to more multi-core and tiled processor architectures. Despite continuing research ... -
C-IMAGE : city cognitive mapping through geo-tagged photos
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Traditional research categorizes people's perceptions towards the city environment with Kevin Lynch's five elements: node, path, edge, district, and landmark. His method has been a keystone in guiding both urban design and ... -
¹³C-metabolic flux analysis of recombinant yeasts for biofuels applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Fossil fuels have powered the transportation industry since the Industrial Revolution. However, rising transportation energy demand and new knowledge about the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels have motivated ... -
c-Myc regulates transcriptional pause release and is a global amplifier of transcription
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Elevated expression of the c-Myc transcription factor occurs frequently in human cancers and is associated with tumor aggression and poor clinical outcome. However, the predominant mechanism by which c-Myc regulates global ... -
C. elegans apoptosis : CED-4 translocation and involvement in a model of mucolipidosis type IV human lysosomal storage disorder
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)The process of programmed cell death is important in the development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. The conserved morphological events of this process have been termed apoptosis. The molecular mechanisms of ... -
The C. elegans class A synthetic multivulva genes inhibit ectopic RAS-mediated vulval development by tightly restricting expression of lin-3 EGF
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The class A and B synthetic multivulva (synMuv) genes of C. elegans redundantly antagonize an EGF/Ras pathway to prevent ectopic vulval induction. The class B synMuv genes encode many proteins known to remodel chromatin ... -
The C. elegans heterochronic pathway controls the timing of NAB/EGR-mediated terminal differentiation and the onset of adulthood
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Most animals pass through a series of juvenile stages on their way from embryo to adult. These stages represent periods of time in which stage-specific developmental processes occur. At the end of development, the organism ... -
A C. elegans histone methyltransferase promotes spermatocyte gene expression, spermatid production and fertility
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)To better understand the tissue-specific regulation of chromatin state in cell-fate determination and development, we defined the tissue-specific expression of all 36 lysine methyltransferase (KMT) genes by endogenous mRNA ... -
C. elegans integrates food, stress, and hunger signals to coordinate motor activity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In the presence of a bacterial food source, the small nematode C. elegans greatly reduces its rate of locomotion. While mechanical agitation greatly stimulates the locomotion of well-fed animals on bacteria, it does not ... -
C.A.S.H. - communal affordable singles housing : a platform for proactive affordability in Hong Kong
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)In Hong Kong, young singles are left out of the affordable housing equation. They require much more space per person in comparison to those living in family housing, and the government is not willing to allocate a ... -
A C/C++ front end for the Daikon dynamic invariant detection system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)This thesis details the implementation and performance of a Daikon front end for the C and C++ languages. The Daikon dynamic invariant detection suite is a system designed to extract formal specifications from programs, ... -
C@t : a language for programming massively distributed embedded systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)This thesis presents c@t, a language for programming distributed embedded systems that are composed of thousands (even millions) of interacting computing devices. Due to the improvements in fabricating technologies, it is ... -
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, ... -
Cabala : a speculative execution framework to make Linux services fault tolerant
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Cabala is a speculative execution framework that enables server programs in Linux to be fault tolerant. The errors it targets are run-time errors that are due to program bugs, and which cause program exit; in particular, ... -
Cable television and neighborhood health centers : promises and realities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982) -
Cable television and the Boston Public Schools
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982) -
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 ... -
Cache and NUMA optimizations in a domain-specific language for graph processing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)High-performance graph processing is challenging because the sizes and structures of real-world graphs can vary widely. Graph algorithms also have distinct performance characteristics that lead to different performance ... -
Cache coherence strategies in a many-core processor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Caches are frequently employed in memory systems, exploiting memory locality to gain advantages in high-speed performance and low latency. However, as computer processor core counts increase, maintaining coherence between ...
