A study of partnership models in distribution channels
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Recently Japanese oil companies have been struggling to provide customers with differentiated services and satisfaction, and to capture their perception. They tried changing the relationship with dealers over multiple ...
Profilometry with volume holographic imaging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
High resolution, non-contact object profile measurement (profilometry) at long working distance is important in a number of application areas, such as precise parts manufacturing, optical element grounding and polishing, ...
Modeling and control of a hot micro-embossing machine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
As the market for polymer micro- and nano-devices expands there is an ever-present need for a manufacturing standard to mass produce these parts. A number of techniques for fabricating these devices are soft lithography, ...
An analysis of managing the globally dispersed team : a case study of an auto component manufacturer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Globalization has become one of the most important strategic issues for almost every business organization. Along with globalization, managers and employees are being required to work with people in geographically dispersed ...
Vanadium and chromium complexes supported by sterically demanding ligands : studies relevant to the reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Chapter 1. Using the [HIPTN3N]3- ligand ([HIPTN3N]3- = [(HIPTNCH2CH2)3N]3-; HIPT = 3,5-(2,4,6-i-Pr3C6H2)2C6H3 = HexaIsoPropylTerphenyl), green paramagnetic [HIPTN3N]V(THF) (1) can be prepared from VCl3(THF)3. Reduction of ...
Quantum dot-based nanomaterials for biological imaging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Quantum dot-based fluorescent probes were synthesized and applied to biological imaging in two distinct size regimes: (1) 100-1000 nm and (2) < 10 nm in diameter. The larger diameter range was accessed by doping CdSe/ZnS ...
Nitrene transfer reactions by late transition metal complexes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
This thesis presents nitrene transfer reactions that are catalyzed or mediated by late transition metal complexes. Sterically large, fluorinated supporting ligands are used to minimize potential side reactions. A new ...
Caged phosphopeptides and phosphoproteins : probes to dissect the role of phosphorylation in complex signaling pathways
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Protein phosphorylation is a central regulatory mechanism in signal transduction pathways and cellular migration. Current genetic strategies for the study of phosphorylation, including gene knockout and point mutation, are ...
Synthesis and solution state self-assembly of linear-dendritic block copolymers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Linear-dendritic block copolymers consisting of a poly(styrene) linear block and poly(amidoamine) dendrimer block were synthesized and examined for their ability to self-assemble in both aqueous environments and organic/aqueous ...
Quantum chemistry for spectroscopy : a tale of three spins (S = 0, 1/2, and 1)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Three special topics in the field of molecular spectroscopy are investigated using a variety of computational techniques. First, large-amplitude vibrational motions on ground-state singlet (S0) potential energy surfaces ...
