Gallium Nitride (GaN) quantum dot layer formation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006) -
The Gamma Intensity Monitor at the Crystal-Barrel-Experiment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis details the motivation, design, construction, and testing of the Gamma Intensity Monitor (GIM) for the Crystal-Barrel-Experiment at the Universität Bonn. The CB-ELSA collaboration studies the baryon excitation ... -
Gamma ray production cross sections of proton bombardment of fluorine for light element analysis and depth profiling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Due to the interdependence of fusion reactor performance and the surface conditions of the plasma facing components (PFC), diagnostic techniques that monitor the conditions of PFCs are useful. One ion beam analysis (IBA) ... -
Gas electron multipliers and a scanner for automated quality control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The gas electron multiplier (GEM) is a novel charge amplification element for use in gaseous particle detectors. Because of their high gain ([approx.] 10⁵ when cascaded) and ability to withstand harsh radiation conditions, ... -
Gas electron multipliers in a time projection chamber
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003) -
Gas liquefaction using a Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube : design criteria and bibliography
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Gas metal arc welding of titanium
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983) -
Gastric-resident drug delivery system for prolonged gram-level dosing of Tuberculosis treatment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Medication non-adherence is one of the biggest challenges facing effective treatment of disease around the world. In developing and developed countries, approximately 50-70% of patients fail to correctly follow the drug ... -
Gaze tracking : seeking critical information for autonomous excavation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Automating excavation in mining and construction applications is crucial today as the supply of skilled operators cannot match market demand. To efficiently make control decisions for autonomous excavators without having ... -
A GEANT4 simulation of the recoil proton stopping acceptance in the near-threshold γ p [right arrow] [pi]⁰p reaction on a scintillator target
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)The simulation of the recoil proton stopping acceptance in the near-threshold [gamma]p [right arrow] [pi]⁰p reaction on a CH1.1 scintillator target has been carried out using the new state-of-the-art CERN GEANT4 toolkit. ... -
A Geiger Mueller counting circuit for x-ray intensity measurements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1942) -
The gelation of nitrocellulose
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1942) -
Gelsight robotic fingertip
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Tactile sensing is integral in robotic manipulation, enabling robot hands to identify objects and explore the environment. The gelsight tactile sensor designed in MIT CSAIL is able to reconstruct the surface topography of ... -
Gender differences in learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)A study was conducted in order to identify the gender differences in learning. Case studies were prepared on nine undergraduate students who were enrolled in Design and Manufacturing I. Through informal meetings with the ... -
Generalized approach to minimal uncertainty products
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)A general technique to construct quantum states that saturate uncertainty products using variational methods is developed. Such a method allows one to numerically compute uncertainties in cases where the Robertson-Schrodinger ... -
Generating threads for non-strict functional programming languages
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Generation of analog voltages to improve flash memory read speed
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Generation of fiber-coupled, nondegenerate, polarization-entangled photons for quantum communication
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The production of polarization-entangled photon pairs from spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) enables many applications of quantum information processing. In this thesis, we use type-0 phase-matched downconversion ... -
Generation of high quality 2D meshes for given bathymetry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis develops and applies a procedure to generate high quality 2D meshes for any given ocean region with complex coastlines. The different criteria used in determining mesh element sizes for a given domain are ... -
Generation of non-verbal behavior for an embodied conversational character
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)This thesis discusses the generation of multi-modal conversational cues in animated computer characters. Drawing from psycholinguistic literature of behaviors observed in human-human interactions, a study of turn-taking ...
