Nanoparticle-chaperoned urinary 'synthetic biomarkers' for profiling proteases in cancer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Many biomarker-based diagnostics have poor predictive value because of their dependence on naturally occurring endogenous biomolecules to indicate disease. This work presents a diagnostic platform that uses nanoparticles ... -
National product design competition for high school students
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Sir Ken Robinson said, "We don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it or rather we're educated out of it."' Throughout my education I have found this statement to be true especially in it's relation to high school ... -
Natural frequencies and damping factors for a cable with lumped masses
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982) -
Nature's engineering : a blueprint for efficient aircraft design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The flight of birds inspired engineers like Leonard da Vinci and Wilbur and Orville Wright to design aircraft that mimic the behavior they observed. The success of the Wright brothers' first controllable aircraft ushered ... -
Nervous system cancer : analysis of historical mortality rates in the United States and Japan indicate sudden increases in environmental risk
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Nervous System cancer age-specific mortality rates began being recorded for European and Non-European Americans in 1930 and for Japanese in 1952. All ethnic groups show significant historical increases in mortality rates. ... -
A new approach to the electronic pen idea
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The pen is a very useful, comfortable, quick and portable output device. Even in a world with Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and laptops in abundance, many people still prefer pens for situations like taking notes in ... -
A new surgical model or studying the healing response of renal tissue in the presence of collagen-glycosaminoglycan matrices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The treatment of renal trauma can involve the surgical removal of part of a patient's kidney, which leads to scarring, distortion of the renal architecture, and potentially renal insufficiency. Current research suggests ... -
A new technique for measuring the wettability of fibrous preforms by liquid metal
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988) -
Nitinol-reinforced shape-memory polymers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Reinforced shape-memory polymers have been developed from an acrylate based thermoset shape-memory polymer and nitinol wires. A rectangular shape-memory polymer measuring approximately 1 by 2 by 0.1 inches has a ten fold ... -
Nitrogen-cycle dynamics of a waste recycling oyster culture system.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978) -
Nitrous oxide as a substitute for sulfur hexafluoride in the ANSI/ASHRAE 110 Method of hood performance evaluation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The ANSI/ASHRAE 110 Method is the standard test for laboratory hood containment performance. Sulfur hexafluoride is specified as the gas most suitable for this test and is most commonly used. Sulfur hexafluoride use has ... -
Noise analysis of inkjet printers over stages and quality of the job and frequency sources from equipment in laboratory optical trap room
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This experiment measured the level of sound emitted over the course of the print cycle by an HP inkjet printer and determined how the level varies with changes in the print quality settings and stages of the print cycle. ... -
Noise from a rotary lawn mower.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972) -
Non-invasive system identification of a tactical generator
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Microgrids, small power distribution networks, are gaining traction as an approach to increasing the fuel efficiency of tactical operations. In order to design controllers for microgrids, accurate models of the generators ... -
Non-linear electrophoresis of ideally polarizable particles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis investigates the non-linear regime of electrophoresis, in particular the variation of electrophoretic velocity with electric field at high field strengths. Known theoretical approaches to the problem accounting ... -
Nondestructive evaluation of fiberglass using cholesteric liquid crystals : review of techniques and industrial applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Nonelectric, standalone heating element for an infant incubator
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Anya is an incubator design intended for use in the developing world. It aims to reduce the instances of premature infant death in the developing world, specifically targeting places where household electricity is uncommon. ... -
Nonlinear observer design and synchronization analysis for classical models of neural oscillators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)This thesis explores four nonlinear classical models of neural oscillators, the Hodgkin- Huxley model, the Fitzhugh-Nagumo model, the Morris-Lecar model, and the Hindmarsh-Rose model. Analysis techniques for nonlinear ... -
Normal postural hand tremor : frequency and power as a function of inertia and torque
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981) -
Novel mechanical mechanisms for the development of undergraduate knowledge
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Although MIT Students have been taught an enormous amount of theory and design, they are not exposed to simple machine elements and designs from the past. As a result, students often spend time reinventing things when the ...
