The analogous techniques of photoactivation of fluorescence (PAF) and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching
(FRAP) have been applied previously to the study of actin dynamics in living cells. Traditionally, separate
experiments estimate the mobility of actin monomer or the lifetime of…

Thrust-producing harmonically oscillating foils are studied through force and power
measurements, as well as visualization data, to classify the principal characteristics of
the flow around and in the wake of the foil. Visualization data are obtained using
digital particle image…

Visualization studies of the flow behind an oscillating tapered cylinder are performed
at Reynolds numbers from 400 to 1500. The cylinder has taper ratio 40:1 and is
moving at constant forward speed U while being forced to oscillate harmonically
in…

Forces are measured at both ends of rigid cylinders with span 60 cm, performing
transverse oscillations within an oncoming stream of water, at Reynolds number
Re ~3800. Forced harmonic motions and free vibrations of uniform and tapered
cylinders are studied.…

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…

Thin wires are attached on the outer surface and parallel to the axis of a smooth
circular cylinder in a steady cross-stream, modelling the effect of protrusions and
attachments. The impact of the wires on wake properties, and vortex-induced loads

This thesis traces the development of American bacteriology during the first quarter of the twentieth century. While bacteriology experienced a period of rapid growth, an enduring disciplinary anxiety equally characterized the field. In particular, bacteriologists feared increasing specialization and conceptual…

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…
