T cell mediated combination immunotherapy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Immunotherapy is a broad treatment strategy that harnesses the immune system to fight off a particular condition or disease. Cancer immunotherapy is the specific application of agents designed to interact or stimulate the ... -
A T cell receptor transgenic approach to the study of thymocyte development and autoimmune disease
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)CDS+ T lymphocytes recognize short peptide fragments when bound to self-class I major histocompatibility proteins. On a mature lymphocyte, such recognition results in activation of the T cell. On an immature thymocyte, ... -
T Talk : a local communication channel for subway riders
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The goal of T Talk, is to utilize the tens of minutes of subway waiting time everyday as an opportunity for reading and appreciation of the complexity and diversity of the city, and developing an awareness of and social ... -
T-junction resonant modulators and detectors in CMOS
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Design of optical modulators and detectors is investigated. A new design idea is proposed for optical modulators - T-junction. The T-junction allows to decouple the Extinction Ratio from the Bandwidth and to optimize each ... -
The T-Space Model : maximizing value and revenue of transit real estate assets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)We founded T-Space in response to the underutilization of transit stations and the opportunity it presents itself being a high volume, small footprint space with a strong network to residential neighborhoods and employment ... -
TablaNet : a real-time online musical collaboration system for Indian percussion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Thanks to the Internet, musicians located in different countries can now aspire to play with each other almost as if they were in the same room. However, the time delays due to the inherent latency in computer networks (up ... -
Tabletop coherent extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray sources based on high harmonic generation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)High harmonic generation (HHG) is a fascinating strong-field physics phenomenon that occurs when a laser pulse with a moderate intensity interacts with atoms and partially ionizes the atoms. A series of harmonics are ... -
Tabletop robot to aid in arm rehabilitation of stroke patients
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The aim of this project was to design and build a tabletop robot that could move the arm of a patient with limited motor function around on a table in any given trajectory to aid the patient in regaining function. The ... -
TACHYON : customizable program analysis via generic abstract interpretation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Tachyon condensation in string field theory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)In this thesis, we present some results that strongly support Sen's conjectures on tachyon condensation on a bosonic D-brane. Our main tool of analysis is level truncated open bosonic string field theory We use level ... -
Tacking against postmodernism : Gloucester's working port holds it course
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Gloucester, Massachusetts has long been regarded as the quintessential working port in the Northeast and the home of commercial fishing in America for several hundred years. Today, Gloucester's working port is threatened ... -
Tackling car-sharing service design problems at scale with high-resolution data : discrete simulation-based optimization approaches
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)This thesis considers the design of two-way (i.e., round-trip) car-sharing services. The optimization problems are formulated as high-dimensional discrete simulation-based optimization (DSO) problems. Existing DSO algorithms ... -
Tackling Key Challenges to Guide Clinical Decisions in Cardiovascular Diseases
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-09)Machine learning models in healthcare have been widely studied in a number of contexts ranging from clinical risk stratification to image-guided diagnosis and prognostication. Nevertheless, key challenges remain from both ... -
Tackling the bigger picture in computational drug design : theory, methods, and application to HIV-1 protease and erythropoietin systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis addresses challenging aspects of drug design that require explicit consideration of more than a single drug-target interaction in an unchanging environment. In the first half, the common challenge of designing ... -
Tackling uncertainty in airport design : a real options approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The airport industry is changing. Once understood as stand-alone public infrastructures, many modern airports now operate within privatized multi-airport systems and contend with previously unknown competitive pressures. ... -
Tactic behaviors in bacterial dynamics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The locomotion of a wide class of motile bacteria can be mathematically described as a biased random walk in three-dimensional space. Fluid mechanics and probability theory are invoked to model the dynamics of bacteria ... -
Tactical cities : negotiating violence in Karachi, Pakistan
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis examines the relationship between violence and urbanity. Using Karachi, Pakistan, as a case study, it asks how violent cities are imagined and experienced by their residents. The thesis draws on a variety of ... -
A tactical planning model for a job shop with unreliable work stations and capacity constraints
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988) -
A tactical planning model for a semiconductor waver fabrication facility
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
A tactical planning model for a serial flow manufacturing system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This project aims to improve the operation and planning of a specific type of manufacturing system, a serial flow line that entails a sequence of process stages. The objective is to investigate inventory policy, raw material ...
