7.342 Sweet Discoveries: Unraveling the Complex World of Sugars in Health and Disease (MIT)
Glycans, which are complex assemblies of sugars, are the most prevalent class of macromolecules, surpassing nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. Glycans are essential for life, as they are a required energy source, provide protection against cellular stresses and shape cellular structure. During this course, we will explore the many roles glycans play in human health and disease. For example, we will learn about the healthy glycosylation patterns of many mammalian proteins and the dynamic changes

6.838 Algorithms for Computer Animation (MIT)
Animation is a compelling and effective form of expression; it engages viewers and makes difficult concepts easier to grasp. Today's animation industry creates films, special effects, and games with stunning visual detail and quality. This graduate class will investigate the algorithms that make these animations possible: keyframing, inverse kinematics, physical simulation, optimization, optimal control, motion capture, and data-driven methods. Our study will also reveal the shortcomings of thes
Developing Relational Trust in Schools through a Consensus Process
It has been well established in recent years that the development of relational trust among the adults in a school community is essential to student achievement (Barth, 2001; Bryk & Schneider, 2002; Hoy and Tschannen-Moran, 2003). This study explored the relationship between specific consensus strategies and the development of relational trust. To help in this exploration, two elementary principals, their superintendent, and six staff members from one of the principal’s schools were interviewe
