D-branes and string field theory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis we study the D-brane physics in the context of Witten's cubic string field theory. We compute first few terms the low energy effective action for the non-abelian gauge field A, from Witten's action. We show ... -
D-branes, gauge theory and string field theory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)In this thesis, we present several works done in last three years. They include three directions in the string theory. In the first direction, we use the brane setup to find mirror pairs of SO(n) and Sp(k) gauge groups for ... -

Damaged Collagen Detection and A Novel Approach to 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactivity: Research at the Interface of Chemistry and Biology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)Part I Chapter 1. Collagen Mimetic Peptides as a Selective Binder for Damaged Collagen. “Collagen diseases” were first introduced by Klemperer and coworkers in the 1950s. This type of disease can cause fibrinoid ... -
Damping and response prediction of a flexible cylinder in a current
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
DAN-based string rewrite computational systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)We describe a DNA computing system called programmed mutagenesis. prove that it is universal, and present experimental results from a prototype computation. DNA is a material with important characteristics, such as possessing ... -
Dancing cheek to cheek : haptic communication between partner dancers and swing as a finite state machine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)To see two expert partners, one leading and the other following, swing dance together is to watch a remarkable two-agent communication and control system in action. Even blindfolded, the follower can decode the leader's ... -
Dangerous diasporas : émigré nationalism and ethnic violence
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The number of exceptionally brutal ethnic confrontations that followed the end of the Cold War brought with them question of diaspora contributions to violence. The unwritten assumption was that diaspora compatriots were ... -
Dark matter dynamics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)N-body simulations have revealed a wealth of information about dark matter halos but their results are largely empirical. Here we attempt to shed light on simulation results by using a combination of analytic and numerical ... -
Dark matter energy deposition and production from the table-top to the cosmos
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)The discovery of nongravitational interactions between dark matter and the Standard Model would be an important step in unraveling the nature of dark matter. If such an interaction exists, it would have profound implications ... -
Darwinian humility : epistemological applications of evolutionary science
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)I use evolutionary science - its tenets and theory, as well as the evidence for it - to investigate the extent and nature of human knowledge by exploring the relation between human cognition, epistemic luck, and biological ... -
Data Association Algorithms and Representations for Robust Geometric Perception
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)Data association is a fundamental requirement of geometric estimation in robotics. Identifying correspondences between measurements and models enables estimation processes to incorporate more data, in general leading to ... -
Data Driven Operations: From Algorithm Development to Experimental Design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)Digital innovation has gained increasing attention in today's world. The explosion of data that is generated through modern marketplaces provides new opportunities to use data-driven tools to understand and optimize the ... -
Data Driven Synthesis Planning Applied to Zeolite Materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-02)Materials discovery is critical for dealing with societal problems, but is a tedious process requiring substantial time and energy to accumulate knowledge. Computational techniques have accelerated understanding of material ...
