Newly Designed HNO Triggered Prodrugs
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important species in many biological processes. The one-electron reduced and protonated derivative of NO, HNO has also been determined to play important biological roles. Because of HNO’s high reactivity, its detection has been difficult and many methods including …

Robot designed for socially acceptable navigation
Autonomous (self-driving) vehicles are increasingly being tested on highways and city streets. But there is also a need for robots that can navigate through environments like sidewalks, buildings, and hallways. In these situations, the robots must interact and cooperate with pedestrians in a …

General Weighted Optimality of Designed Experiments
Design problems involve finding optimal plans that minimize cost and maximize information about the effects of changing experimental variables on some response. Information is typically measured through statistically meaningful functions, or criteria, of a design's corresponding information matrix. …

Studies on rationally designed, allosteric, coagulation inhibitors
Heparin is a natural allosteric modulator, with numerous structural and conformational variations leading to many reports of bleeding complications and variations in anticoagulant effects. A flurry of research has been directed towards understanding this puzzle. This work entails the utilization of …

Unplanned potential : domestic architecture designed for play
… satisfying the basic domestic functions, is designed primarily for profitability, resulting in obvious patterns of predictability. Might we consider the cultivation of play in the home environment to be one of the ways in which to dislocate this convention? Play will be analyzed in this …

Designed Bond Cleavage Reactions for Next-Generation Therapeutics
… the use of caged cyanoacrylates, which are designed to remain inert until activated by a rapid C–C bond-cleaving decarboxylative elimination reaction. Further, we propose an in situ generation of reactive species for the protein of interest in disease cells. The prodrug can be selectively …

Essays on strategic behavior in government-designed markets
… between firms in markets that were actively designed by governments. In such settings, government intervention is frequent, firms are often constrained in their actions, and consumer behavior may depart from what is predicted by the standard set of assumptions. The chapters of this thesis …

Controlling Image Synthesis with Emergent and Designed Priors
… from image generative models using emergent and designed priors. Emergent priors leverage the capabilities of a pre-trained generator to infer how the world operates, simply by training on large quantities of data. On the other hand, designed priors use built-in constraints to enforce desired …
