Y B ME? : an analysis of the status of women in mechanical engineering and the Women's Technology Program as a potential long-term solution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The issue of the lack of women in the fields of science and engineering has recently received new attention by the scientific and women's studies communities alike. In fields such as Mechanical Engineering there continues ... -
Y MAP: a pipeline for visualization of copy number variation and loss of heterozygosity in eukaryotic pathogens
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2014-11)The design of effective antimicrobial therapies for serious eukaryotic pathogens requires a clear understanding of their highly variable genomes. To facilitate analysis of copy number variations, single nucleotide polymorphisms ... -
Y-family DNA polymerases in Escherichia coli
(Elsevier, 2007-01)The observation that mutations in the Escherichia coli genes umuC+ and umuD+ abolish mutagenesis induced by UV light strongly supported the counterintuitive notion that such mutagenesis is an active rather than passive ... -
YabA of Bacillus subtilis controls DnaA-mediated replication initiation but not the transcriptional response to replication stress
(Blackwell Publishing, 2009-09)yabA encodes a negative regulator of replication initiation in Bacillus subtilis and homologues are found in many other Gram-positive species. YabA interacts with the β-processivity clamp (DnaN) of DNA polymerase and with ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Yangians versus minimal W-algebras: A surprising coincidence
(World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2021)© 2020 World Scientific Publishing Company. We prove that the singularities of the R-matrix R(k) of the minimal quantization of the adjoint representation of the Yangian Y of a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra are the ... -
YAP Enhances Tumor Cell Dissemination by Promoting Intravascular Motility and Reentry into Systemic Circulation
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2020)The oncogene YAP has been shown previously to promote tumor growth and metastasis. However, how YAP influences the behavior of tumor cells traveling within the circulatory system has not been as well explored. Given that ... -
Yap regulates glucose utilization and sustains nucleotide synthesis to enable organ growth
(EMBO, 2018-10)The Hippo pathway and its nuclear effector Yap regulate organ size and cancer formation. While many modulators of Hippo activity have been identified, little is known about the Yap target genes that mediate these growth ... -
Yard Crane Scheduling for container storage, retrieval, and relocation
(Elsevier BV, 2018)© 2018 Elsevier B.V. This paper introduces a novel optimization problem resulting from the combination of two major existing problems arising at storage yards in container terminals. The Yard Crane Scheduling Problem is ... -

Yarditecture : new walls for trench town
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)"The yard" -- the typical housing typology of low-income downtown, Jamaica where multiple households are contained within a surrounding wall. This thesis envelops itself in Trench town, Jamaica, the epicenter of what is ... -
Yardstick Competition : an empirical investigation using state taxes and media markets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)I investigate whether voters judge the performance of their governor on taxes by comparing him to governors from neighboring states. If voters do make these comparisons, it creates "yardstick competition," where governors ... -
Years of service and probability of promotion

Yeast display evolution of a kinetically efficient 13-amino acid substrate for lipoic acid ligase
(American Chemical Society, 2009-10)Escherichia coli lipoic acid ligase (LplA) catalyzes ATP-dependent covalent ligation of lipoic acid onto specific lysine side chains of three acceptor proteins involved in oxidative metabolism. Our lab has shown that LplA ... -
Yeast Display for the Identification of Peptide-MHC Ligands of Immune Receptors
(Springer US, 2022)T cells detect peptide antigens presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins via their T cell receptor (TCR). The sequence diversity of possible antigens, with trillions of potential peptide-MHC targets, ...
