The Maclaurin buildings : a history of MIT's Main Campus and the people who built it
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)In 1916, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology relocated from its Boston Tech campus to its newly built facilities in Cambridge. During the construction of the New Technology in the May of 1915, MIT president Richard ... -
Macro scale physical model of nanoindentation on vertically aligned carbon nanotube forests
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Currently the process of nanoindentation is being explored as a reliable means of determining the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the constituent tubes of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) ... -
Making Haiti "The Pearl of the Antilles" again : what can be done?
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)From being the "Pearl of the Antilles", Haiti has regressed to being the poorest country in the Western hemisphere. Several factors contributed to this decline, including a long history of exploitation, corruption, political ... -
Maneuverability and heading control of compliant biomimetic swimming devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Biomimetic swimming devices that employ compliant mechanisms have shown promise as an alternative to current biomimetic design approaches that involve the use of complex mechanisms. The additional stealth, ruggedness, and ... -

Manufacturing and characterization of welded, sintered condensers for a loop heat pipe
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)A manufacturing process plan was developed for a welded condenser utilizing a sintered wick. Electronic devices have progressed to the point where new designs are limited by the thermal management system used to ensure ... -
Manufacturing improvement and thermal property characterization of the frame structure of an Ultra-high Throughput Mutational Spectrometer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Constant denaturant capillary electrophoresis (CDCE) is a DNA separation technique that allows the detection of mutants at a fraction of 10Ì„⁻⁶. CDCE uses a region of constant temperature and constant denaturant concentration ... -
Manufacturing of the motor mount of the uBox, an intelligent pillbox
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The uBox has been developed to be a solution to the medication adherence problems for a multitude of applications. The box offers a way to collect and formulate patient and volunteer adherence data for use in the field ... -
Mapping crossing myofiber populations with Diffusion Spectrum Imaging in simulated and microfabricated model tissues
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The ability to resolve complex myofiber populations is important for relating architectural structure with mechanical unction in muscular tissues. To address this issue, we sought to validate the capacity of Diffusion ... -
Maskless photopatterning of cells in microfluidic devices/
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Upon examining current methods for printing and patterning of live biological cells, there is a need for a method capable of printing with the resolution of single biological cells to organize them into complex structures. ... -
The material and energy flow through the abrasive waterjet machining and recycling processes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the material and energy flow through the abrasive waterjet machine and the WARD recycling machine. The goal was to track all of the material, water, abrasive, energy, air, and ... -
