X Disease | Disease X: Medical Mystery-Solving and Epidemiological Change
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-09)This thesis addresses epidemiological knowledge-making in the face of new, unknown, emerging diseases. It uses two cases, Australian X Disease of the early 1900s and Disease X of the dawning 2000s, to broadly interrogate ... -
X-Conference : reinventing a teleconferencing system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)In looking forward to more natural we can anticipate that the teleconferencing system of the future will enable participants at distant locations to share the same virtual space. The visual object of each participant can ... -
X-Ray crystal structure of a ribosomal protein S6, S15, S18 : rRNA complex from T. thermophilus, and investigation of conformational changes in 16S rRNA fragments from B. stearothermophilus during ribonucleoprotein assembly
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The X-ray crystallographic structure of a fragment of the 30S ribosomal subunit from Thermus thermophilus containing ribosomal proteins S6, S15, S18, and a minimal rRNA binding site (T4 RNP) containing two different ... -
X-ray diagnostics for the Levitated Dipole Experiment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Initial plasma experiments in the Levitated Dipole Experiment focus on producing hot electron, high beta plasmas using a supported dipole configuration. Plasmas are created using multifrequency ECRH and it is therefore ... -

XAUV : modular high maneuverability autonomous underwater vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The design and construction of a modular test bed autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is analyzed. Although a relatively common stacked-hull design is used, the state of the art is advanced through an aggressive power ... -
XCast : a personal and groupwise broadcasting system for social event networking
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis describes the design and development of a system that is aimed for personalized and group-wise broadcasts to collaboratively distribute information and to coordinate locally created events in infrastructure-free ... -
Xenon difluoride etching and molecular oxygen oxidation of silicon by reactive scattering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)While both molecular fluorine (F₂) and xenon difluoride (XeF₂) fluorinate Si(l00)2xI surfaces at coverages up to one monolayer, fluorine is unable to cleave Si-Si bonds that ultimately leads to etching silicon at coverages ... -
XHTML documents with inline, policy-aware provenance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Constructing code that aids users in making information policy decisions in a decentralized Web-based environment will require seamless integration between document content and metadata. A system of embedding and reasoning ... -

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002) -
An XML server for networked physical objects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001) -
XML-route : a fault tolerant multicast architecture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001) -
Xochimilco es Hogar : place attachment and belonging in Mexico City
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Mexico City is a sprawling megalopolis of 22 million inhabitants with new residents moving into the city daily. The city's growth is spatially uneven; the southern delegation of Xochimilco has been experiencing rapid ... -
Yaku Cosmo-Infrastructures : Designing with Water Across the Andes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Water in the Andes is a dual entity: matter and energy, terrestial and celestial, substance, and Cosmos. This thesis is a provocation to reimagine water infrastructures across the Andes as a collaboration of ancestral and ... -
YAMA : a system for marking network traffic
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Computer security performance analysis requires precise labeling of traffic as either background or attack traffic. When an experiment is performed on-line, it may also be important to identify traffic from the security ... -
