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 ... -
Zero-knowledge with public keys
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001) -
Zinc and cadmium in benthic foraminifera as tracers of ocean paleochemistry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Benthic foraminiferal δ13C, Cd/Ca, and Ba/Ca are important tools for reconstructing nutrient distributions, and thus ocean circulation, on glacial-interglacial timescales. However, each tracer has its own "artifacts" that ... -
Zirconium-group 13 heterobinmetallic compounds and the synthesis of oxysulfides in sodium polysulfide
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Zoning and occupancy-moderation for residential space-conditioning under demand-driven electricity pricing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Occupancy-moderated zonal space-conditioning (OZS) refers to the partitioning of a residence into different zones and independently operating the space-conditioning equipment of each zone based on its occupancy. OZS remains ... -
Zooming in on quasar accretion disks using chromatic microlensing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Observing the temperature profiles of accretion disks around black holes is a fundamental test of an important astrophysical process. However, angular resolution limitations have prevented such a measurement for distant ... -
The (α,p) reaction on nuclei in the f7/2 shell.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1966) -
β-sheet interactions with DNA revealed by the arc repressor-operator complex
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
