Local drug delivery for relaxation of the ureter
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Human ureteral contraction and relaxation is implicated in common physiologic situations. The success or failure of kidney stone expulsion and the body's pain response to ureteral stents placed during urologic surgery are ...
Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) attempts to break the Airbus-Boeing duopoly, will it succeed? : an industry analysis framework applied
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
Using an industry analysis framework, this thesis analyzes whether the recently established Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) is likely to break the Boeing-Airbus duopoly in the industry of large commercial ...
Coordination vs. control : planning new cities as new economic engines in China
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Over the past twenty years, there appears to have been a resurgence of "new cities" that have been master-planned, built, and populated "from scratch" throughout the global South--
Numerical modeling of methane venting from lake sediments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
The dynamics of methane transport in lake sediments control the release of methane into the water column above, and the portion that reaches the atmosphere may contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect. The observed ...
Topological quantum optics in two-dimensional atomic lattices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
A key goal in quantum science is to build quantum systems that are robust to disorder and experimental imperfections. The application of topology to quantum physics is one of the most promising avenues towards achieving ...
A context resolution server for the GALAXY conversational systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Multisensory models for human spatial orientation including threshold effects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
E-Observer, a stand-alone executable version of the Observer model developed by Newman and Oman (2009), was developed. The complicated structure of the Observer model and its parameters made this conversion challenging. ...
Mass reduction : opportunities and structural optimization methods to reduce material use in mass timber buildings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
.Mass timber, a contemporary type of wood construction using engineered wood products, sourced from sustainably managed forests, has the potential to reduce the carbon emissions of the construction sector and act as a ...
Redesigning the memory hierarchy to exploit static and dynamic application information
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Memory hierarchies are crucial to performance and energy efficiency, but current systems adopt rigid, hardware-managed cache hierarchies that cause needless data movement. The root cause for the inefficiencies of cache ...
Hardware-efficient quantum computation and error correction in bosonic systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Quantum computing has the potential to eclipse its classical competitors, but only if the number of high-quality qubits can be scaled up. Large-scale quantum systems are impeded by the formidable hardware resources needed ...
