Yang-Mills connections with isolated singularities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
Yang-Mills replacement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)We develop an analog of the harmonic replacement technique of Colding and Minicozzi in the gauge theory context. The idea behind harmonic replacement dates back to Schwarz and Perron, and the technique involves taking a ... -
YAP and TAZ have Functionally Redundant Roles in Uveal Melanoma
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-05)Uveal Melanoma (UM) is the primary ocular malignancy in adults. The primary tumor is treatable but 50% of patients develop fatal metastases. Most UM are driven by activating mutations in the heterotrimeric G protein alpha ... -
Yeast and mammalian RNA polymerase II holoenzymes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
The yeast three-hybrid system : a method for detecting ligand-protein interactions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Yeast-based vaccine approaches to cancer immunotherapy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Saccharomyces cerevisiae stimulates dendritic cells and represents a promising candidate for cancer immunotherapy development. Effective cross-presentation of antigen delivered to dendritic cells is necessary for successful ... -
The Yellow Pages : a medium, an industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984) -
The Yellow Revolution in Malwa : alternative arenas of struggle and the cultural politics of development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This dissertation engages with two analytical frameworks to explore questions of social transformation and structures of power in rural society in India. The first is a specific critique of various types of development ... -
Yield management for telecommunication networks : defining a new landscape
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Can airline Yield Management strategies be used to generate additional revenue from spare capacity in telecom networks? Pundits believe "yes", based on several analogies between the industries such as, for instance, ... -
Yield management for the maritime industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
You don't see what I see : multiple publics and public policy in a Los Angeles gang war
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)An analytical concept of multiple publics is presented and applied to a case study of a gang conflict in Venice, California during 1993-1994. The concept of multiple publics is based on the assumption that individuals have ... -
"You" and "I", "now" and "then", and some related thoughts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The overarching theme of this dissertation is the relationship between information and context-how context interacts with the contents of speech and thought. I pursue three issues within this broad theme. Chapter 1 concerns ... -
Young children's reasoning about their own and others' cognition
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)This thesis aims to address a central question in cognitive science: how we reason about our own and others' cognition. Representing the self and others as distinct individuals is a fundamental epistemological feature of ... -
Youth and cities : planning with low-income youth and urban youth cultures in New York City and Paris
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Are the cities of North America and Europe governed, built, and planned by authorities to encourage youth development or facilitate repression? Youth and Cities: Planning with Low- Income Youth and Urban Youth Cultures in ... -
Z boson cross section measurements and neutral Higgs boson search in the di-muon channel with the CMS detector
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)In this thesis, measurements of inclusive and differential Z boson production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at [square root of] s =13 TeV with the CMS detector at Large Hadron Collider are performed with the ... -
Z-selective olefin metathesis processes and Cis/syndioselective ROMP with high oxidation state molybdenum alkylidenes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Chapter 1: Reaction of W(CCMe3)Cl 3(dme) with one equivalent of (3,5-Me 2C6H3NCH2CH 2)3N)Li3 affords yellow, crystalline W(CCMe3)(N3N) in good yield. The reactivity of this new alkylidyne complex towards terminal alkynes ... -
Zariski structures and simple theories
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)In this thesis, I consider generalisations of geometric stability theory to minimal Lascar Strong Types definable in simple theories. Positively, we show that the conditions of linearity and 1-basedness are equivalent for ... -
ZEB1 is a central mediator of the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Carcinomas are solid tumors arising from epithelial tissue, and account for the majority of cancer deaths in the United States. In most occurrences of carcinoma, it is the metastases that kill, not the primary tumor. The ... -
Zeeman relaxation of cold iron and nickel in collisions with ³He
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis describes a measurement of the ratio of elastic to Zeeman-projection changing collision cross sections ([gamma]) in the Fe-3He and Ni-3He systems. This ratio is a probe of the anisotropy of the interaction ... -
