Portable controls experiments
Experiments for controls classes like MIT's 2.004 require large lab setups and expensive equipment such as oscilloscopes and function generators. We developed a series of controls experiments based on National Instruments' myDAQ platform. These experiments, which are small enough to fit on a single …

Institutional controls and brownfield redevelopment
Institutional controls (ICs) are used to reduce risks to human health and environment from exposure to contaminants at Brownfield sites. Regulators approve use of ICs in Brownfield redevelopment with the expectation that ICs will remain effective over the long-term under proper oversight …

Drosophila TRPA1 controls thermotactic behavior
Temperature perception is an intricate process, essential for survival of many organisms. Temperatures far outside of the preferred range are usually harmful and are perceived as noxious (or painful), thus encouraging the animal to change its location or behavior. However, animals also have …

Starlogo camera controls and enhancements
The purpose of this research and development project was to further develop Starlogo, a block based programming environment to allow students to create 3D games and simulations to help them learn programming. I improved the Sarlogo "camera", a representation of the view within a 3D world. Starlogo …

Modelling biogeochemical controls on planetary habitability
The length of a planet's `habitable period' is an important controlling factor on the evolution of life and of intelligent observers. This can be defined as the amount of time the surface temperature on the planet remains within defined `habitable' limits. Complex states of habitability derived …

Legal controls on lying public officials
Considering the harm that is caused by lying public officials, to what extent does the law address this harm, and how? To the extent that it does not, is a broader legal remedy possible, and what might it look like? This thesis first sets out the harm that is caused by officials who lie – …

Hydrodynamic controls on multiple tidal inlet persistence
The importance of the persistence of multiple inlets in coastal systems is fundamental for issues such as water quality, navigability, and beach/barrier stability. In long embayments, having extended residence times, the stability of multiple inlets can be important for more efficient flushing and …
