The Women's Technology Program : EECS outreach for high school students
… electrical engineering and computer science (EECS). In this thesis I present background research evaluating the state of the current gender imbalance in EECS as well as research describing other initiatives for improvement. I then describe the design and implementation of WTP at a level that …

Development of a Toolkit to Investigate Endocardial Endothelial Cellular Response in Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Pathologies
… characterizing endocardial endothelial cells (EECs) that line the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), modeling the elevated wall shear stress (WSS) observed in DSS patients, and creating a tunable scaffold that can be used to investigate the effect altered mechanical environments have on …

Characterisation of human enteroendocrine cells in organoid models
Gut hormones secreted by enteroendocrine cells (EECs) coordinate the postprandial response to a meal by regulating digestion, absorption, circulating nutrient availability and satiety. EECs are specialised endocrine cells scattered throughout the gastrointestinal epithelium that release hormones in …

An Introductory Low-level Programming Course for Students with a Python Background
… Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (MIT EECS) had not required students to take any class that covers this material and these relationships. The classes included in the introductory programming sequence taken by most MIT EECS students place a stronger emphasis on high-level languages such …

A peptidomic investigation into enteroendocrine cells and islets of humans and mice
Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and islets of Langerhans (islets) of the pancreas are endocrine cells capable of sensing nutrient intake or the nutrient content of the blood and responding by secreting peptide hormones to control various physiological functions. This …

FORECASTING IN EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
… time series of three Eastern European countries (EECs): namely, the Czech republic, Hungary and Poland. The idea is to develop a natural extension to my previous studies, in particular those presented in Junicke (2017), where I applied Bayesian inference to produce an empirical estimation of a …

Exploring the function and sensing mechanisms of human enteroendocrine cells using intestinal organoids
… of hormone-releasing enteroendocrine cells (EECs), which represent only around 1% of the total gut epithelium. Gut hormones are released in response to cues of different natures to regulate several physiological events, such as nutrient digestion and absorption, intestinal motility, food …

Identify the regulatory roles of intestinal secretory cell lineages during gut inflammation
… tuft cells and enteroendocrine cells (EECs), in colonic inflammation, revealing novel cellular and molecular dynamics. The initial study utilized IEC-specific Hnrnp I knockout mice to demonstrate significant upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Il1β, Cxcl1, and Ccl2. This …

Technical and logistical support for course assessment
… being started for 6.042 and several other EECS classes, students took diagnostic entry exams and end-of-term surveys in which they were asked to rate themselves on various objectives of the class. I examined this data along with the students' grades, and performed calculations such as …

Graduate admissions at MIT & comparison-based rank aggregation : a case study
Admission to the Graduate program in EECS at MIT is done via an all-electronic system. Applicants submit materials through a web interface and faculty "reviewers" read the applications and make notes via a different interface. Among other comments, reviewers provide a numerical score between 1 and …

Characterisation of L-cell secretory mechanisms and colonic enteroendocrine cell subpopulations
Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are chemosensitive cells of the gastrointestinal epithelium that exert a wide range of physiological effects via production and secretion of hormones in response to ingested nutrients, bacterial metabolites and systemic signals. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is one …

Mechanisms underlying monosaccharide stimulated incretin hormone secretion from the intestine
… hormones are produced by enteroendocrine cells (EECs) of the intestinal epithelium and are released in response to a variety of intestinal signals, with diverse roles in the control of metabolism. The gut hormones GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), known as incretins …

Challenges in implementing cross-disciplinary design experiments in a large scale introductory physics class; a case study
… the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and Physics departments and implemented in a large-scale, introductory physics course, 8.02 Electricity and Magnetism, at MIT. These were developed in response to student feedback indicating that overly structured experiments limit their grasp …

Evaluation study of Leader Selection Algorithms in Wireless Mesh Networks
… energy-based LSAs, the heterogeneous-based LSAs EECS and UDAC) outperform the homogeneous-based LSAs (LEACH and EECHA) based on communication overhead cost and the energy consumption rate. Whilst the homogeneous-based LSAs outperform the 3 heterogeneous LSAs in terms of leader selection delay. …

Applications of machine to machine communication in remote healthcare systems
… an Energy-Efficient Channel Selecting (EECS) algorithm for CM2M communications in the healthcare system. The proposed algorithm aims to select the best available channels to improve CM2M communication quality and reduce energy consumption in the system overall. Accordingly, the algorithm …

Influence of food intervention on enteric nervous system and enteroendocrine cells development in a small for gestational age piglet model
… of the ENS and enteroendocrine cells (EECs), respectively. At PD1, the ENS of AGA animals was almost fully developed compared with PD14 and PD28. For SGA piglets, a delayed development of nerve endings was observed on PD1 associated with a less developed synaptic system in the enteric …

Quantitation of enteroendocrine hormones as metabolic disease biomarkers in human biological matrices by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
… peptides are secreted by enteroendocrine cells (EECs) and some, known as incretins, are released after a meal to control blood glucose and stimulate neuronal satiety. These are being studied as novel targets for treatment of metabolic diseases such as obesity. Traditionally quantitative analysis …

Gene expression profiling of patients with Polycythaemia Rubra Vera using cDNA microarrays
… protein levels on platelets and the formation of EECs are laboratory findings which can be used for differential diagnosis among the CMPDs. Nevertheless, none of these markers can define a single disease entity and none of them seems to represent the initial step in the <br>pathogenesis of PV. …
