The MIT Libraries'€™ proposed to the Mellon Foundation to plan a preservation archive for
dynamic electronic journals (DEJA : a€“ Dynamic E-Journal Archive) that would be reliable, secure,
enduring, and sustainable over the long term. The Foundation'€™s own request for…

The MIT Libraries has built a durable digital document repository called DSpace to house the
digital output of our faculty's research. DSpace will be a home for the digital documents our
faculty want to share with their colleagues around the…

DSpace is a joint development project of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries and Hewlett-Packard Company. Its mission is to establish a library service to capture, distribute, and preserve the digital, intellectual output of the MIT community. We are developing…

Target cost management (TCM) is an innovation of Japanese management accounting system and by common sense has been considered with great interest by practitioners. Nowadays, TCM related
dissertations, papers, articles are widely being published in special journals both in North…

Current modeling of endothelial cell mechanics does not account for the network of F-actin that permeates the
cytoplasm. This network, the distributed cytoplasmic structural actin (DCSA), extends from apical to basal membranes, with
frequent attachments. Stress fibers are intercalated within…

We present here a first step towards developing a quantitative model that relates investor emotions to financial markets. We used Wall Street Journal articles as a proxy of investor emotions on a "macro" level. We measured the emotional characteristic of…

We employ a three-dimensional, nonlinear inviscid numerical method, in conjunction
with experimental data from live fish and from a fish-like robotic mechanism, to
establish the three-dimensional features of the flow around a fish-like body swimming
in a straight line, and…

We have derived a broad, deterministic model of the steady-state actin cycle that includes its major regulatory
mechanisms. Ours is the first model to solve the complete nucleotide profile within filaments, a feature that determines the
dynamics and geometry of…

Significant progress has been made in understanding
some of the basic mechanisms of force production and flow manipulation
in oscillating foils for underwater use. Biomimetic observations,
however, show that there is a lot more to be learned, since
many of…

We describe the general phenomenon of ‘induced-charge electro-osmosis’ (ICEO) –
the nonlinear electro-osmotic slip that occurs when an applied field acts on the ionic
charge it induces around a polarizable surface. Motivated by a simple physical picture,
we calculate ICEO…
