Dynamics of multi-body space interferometers including reaction wheel gyroscopic stiffening effects : structurally connected and electromagnetic formation of flying architectures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Space telescopes have the potential to revolutionize astronomy and our search for life-supporting planets beyond our Solar System. Free of atmospheric distortions, they are able to provide a much "clearer" view of the ... -
Dynamics of nonlinear cross-equatorial flow in the deep ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Dynamics of North Atlantic western boundary currents
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)The Gulf Stream and Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC) shape the distribution of heat and carbon in the North Atlantic, with consequences for global climate. This thesis employs a combination of theory, observations and ... -
The dynamics of oceanic transform faults : constraints from geophysical, geochemical, and geodynamical modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Segmentation and crustal accretion at oceanic transform fault systems are investigated through a combination of geophysical data analysis and geodynamical and geochemical modeling. Chapter 1 examines the effect of fault ... -
Dynamics of organizational change: some determinants of managerial problem solving and decision making competences
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1964) -
Dynamics of particle clouds related to open-water sediment disposal
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Open-water disposal and capping is a promising solution for disposing of the 14 to 28 million m3 of contaminated sediment dredged annually in the United States (National Research Council, 1997). Such practice raises concerns ... -
Dynamics of point and line defects in single semiconductor crystals grown from the melt
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
Dynamics of policy interventions : the case of the government and the automobile industry in Japan c.1900 - c.1960.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977) -
The dynamics of project management : an investigation of the impacts of projects process and coordination on performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Dynamics of protein-DNA interactions in a Mu transpososome
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Transposition allows movement of a defined stretch of DNA, a transposon, from one DNA location to another. This process is required for the life-cycles of many viruses, from bacteriophage Mu to HIV; it is spreading antibiotic ... -
The dynamics of research and development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1962) -
Dynamics of rod-coil block copolymers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Polymer science is exploring advanced materials which combine functional domains such as proteins and semiconducting polymers with traditional flexible polymers in the same molecule. While thermodynamic assemblies of ... -
Dynamics of rotors incorporating squeeze film dampers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988) -
Dynamics of shared capitalism policies in a startup company by Joe C. Hsueh.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Shared capitalism is a diverse set of compensation practices through which worker pay, or wealth, depends on the performance of the firm or work group; compensation practices include employee ownership, stock options, and ... -
Dynamics of single-cell mass, volume and stiffness during mitosis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Cells undergo dynamic changes in cell shape and mechanics during mitosis, a short cell-cycle stage dedicated to separating replicated chromosomes into two daughter cells. Recently, several groups have reported that mitotic ... -
Dynamics of sliding mechanisms in nanoscale friction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Nanotribology is the study of friction and wear at the nanoscale, with relevance to such applications as micromechanical systems (MEMS) and thin, hard coatings. For these systems, classical laws of friction are inappropriate ... -
The dynamics of software development project management : an integrative system dynamics perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984) -
Dynamics of space structures with nonlinear joints
