Mapping with limited sensing
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-05) -
Mappings: setting, memory, and decay
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)The purpose of this paper is to expose some of the key components that drove the creation and conceptualization of Mappings by contextualizing the work in four ways. Chapter One will explore how a number of influential ... -
Market-based bandwidth allocation for target tracking in wireless sensor networks
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-05) -
Marketing for all seasons: how seasonal fluctuations impact marketing and product success
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)In my second essay, I examine the impact of the weather, one of the most apparent situational factors, on how positively consumers evaluate products and services upon retrospection. Both anecdotal and empirical evidence ... -
Markov models for actin polymer dynamics and cell membrane protrusion
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-05) -
Mass spectrometry analysis of glycosaminoglycans
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2006-12) -
Mass spectrometry analysis of glycosaminoglycans and applications in biological research
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-05)The glycosaminoglycan (GAG) family of polysaccharides includes the unsulfated hyaluronan and sulfated heparin, heparan sulfate, keratan sulfate, and chondroitin/dermatan sulfate. GAGs are involved in various biological ... -
Matching, social welfare and ordinal approximation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-05)Many important problems involve agents with preferences for different outcomes. Such settings include, for example, social choice and matching problems. Although the quality of an outcome to an agent may be measured by a ... -
Material politics in sound
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-12)In this dissertation, “Material Politics in Sound,” I utilize an experimental methodology that prioritizes a material-based practice in art and electricity, and in my artistic and scholarly analysis I explore my artistic ... -
Materials for a high temperature coal-based process to produce electrolytically pure hydrogen
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1976-08)A unique process to produce electrolytically pure hydrogen in a chemically driven cell requires a ceramic membrane material with special properties. Under specific high temperature (800°C-1000°C) and low oxygen pressure ... -
Mathematical model of spatial communication network flow
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-12) -
Mathematical model of the human sleep wake system

Mathematical modeling of the effects of HER2 overexpression on cell proliferation and cell cycle in breast cancer
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2006-12) -
Mathematical modeling of wildfire dynamics
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-12)Wildfires continue to pose a long-standing threat in our society. In this thesis, I derive and solve a fluid dynamics model to study a specific type of wildfire, namely, a two-dimensional flow around a rising plume above ... -
Mathematical models of amyloid-beta production, aggregation, and treatment in Alzheimer's disease
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)Amyloid-beta peptides have long been associated with the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. A two-pronged approach to investigating amyloid-beta in the context of Alzheimer's disease is presented with an amyloid aggregation ... -
Mathematical search programming : an expanded Bayes decision model
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1971-01) -
Matrix sampling algorithms for topics in machine learning
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)We study the application of matrix sampling algorithms on four problems in machine learning, namely: (i) Feature Selection for Linear Support Vector Machines, (ii) Feature Selection for Ridge Regression, (iii) Core-set ... -
