E-recursively enumerable degrees
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
E2F6 in axial skeletal development and gliosis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)E2F transcription factors were originally identified as regulators of cell cycle and cellular proliferation. In vivo mouse models have uncovered novel roles for these proteins in different developmental processes. This ... -
Early building design using multi-objective data approaches
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)During the design process in architecture, building performance and human experience are increasingly understood through computation. Within this context, this dissertation considers how data science and interactive ... -
Early diagnosis of cancer using light scattering spectroscopy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This thesis presents a novel optical technique, light scattering spectroscopy (LSS), developed for quantitative characterization of tissue morphology as well as in vivo detection and diagnosis of the diseases associated ... -
Early lunar geology and geophysics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Despite a number of human and robotic missions to the Moon, there are still important unanswered questions about its early evolution, and how it came to be the object we observe today. Here we use observational, experimental, ... -
Early stages in cosmic structure formation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis investigates the origin and evolution of large scale structure in the universe. We approach these questions from two different angles in two related but independent projects. The outcomes of these two investigations ... -
The early stages of plastic flow in copper
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1967) -
Early steps in Xenopus neural determination : cloning and analysis of opl
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Early transition metal catalysts for the living polymerization of olefins and alkynes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Zirconium and Hafnium Ziegler-Natta catalysts containing the [(2,6- C12C6H3NCH2CH2)2NMe]2- ([ArciN2NMe]2') ligand were prepared and employed in the polymerization of 1-hexene. Hafnium Ziegler-Natta catalysts containing the ... -
Early transition metal complexes containing tridentate amido ligands : a systematic approach to Ziegler-Natta catalysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Early transitional metal alkyl, alkylidene, and alkylidyne chemistry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)CHAPTER 1. Zirconium and hafnium complexes of several new unsymmetric diamide ligands have been prepared and their proficiency in olefin polymerization reactions evaluated. The first set of supporting ligands examined are ... -
Early word learning through communicative inference
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)How do children learn their first words? Do they do it by gradually accumulating information about the co-occurrence of words and their referents over time, or are words learned via quick social inferences linking what ... -
Earnings expectations, security valuation, and the cost of equity capital
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Earth pressure balance (EPB) shield tunneling in Bangkok : ground response and prediction of surface settlements using artificial neural networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Although Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) shields have been used for several decades, very little information exists about the actual mechanisms of shield-ground interaction. The ground response mechanism induced by EPB tunneling ... -
Earth structure and earthquake locations in the Coyote Lake area, central California
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981) -
The earth's interior from both a seismological and petrological perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Shear-wave splitting measurements of teleseismic shear waves, such as SKS, have been used to estimate the amount and direction of upper-mantle anisotropy worldwide. One of the basic assumptions in making these measurements ... -
Earthquake behavior and structure of oceanic transform faults
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Oceanic transform faults that accommodate strain at mid-ocean ridge offsets represent a unique environment for studying fault mechanics. Here, I use seismic observations and models to explore how fault structure affects ... -
Earthquake forecastes--the life-saving poetential of last-minute warnings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Earthquake nucleation and rupture at a range of scales : laboratories, gold mines, and subduction zones
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)We measured spectral and time-domain properties of seismic events over a size range that spans magnitudes M [approx.] -2 to 8 in order to study earthquake source processes. In addition, we conducted laboratory experiments ... -
Earthquake source parameters, seismicity, and tectonics of North Atlantic transform faults
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983)
