MIT maintains substantial research and faculty ties with independent research organizations in the Boston-area like the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as well as international research and educational collaborations through the Singapore-MIT Alliance, MIT-Politecnico di Milano, MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program, and other countries through the MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives ( MISTI ) program.

A 2006 article from the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research indicates that PrP expression on stem cells is necessary for an organism's self-renewal of bone marrow.

Lindquist is a member and former Director of the Whitehead Institute and was awarded the National Medal of Science in 2010.

She was the Albert D. Lasker Professor of Medical Sciences in the Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology at the University of Chicago, and the Director of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research from 2001-2004.

The Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research

Founded in 1982, the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research is a non-profit research and teaching institution located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

In June 2003, Eli and Edythe L. Broad pledged $ 100 million to build the Broad Institute, a joint venture of Whitehead, MIT, Harvard and local teaching hospitals.

Whitehead has a world-renowned faculty that includes the recipients of the 1997 and 2010 National Medal of Science ( Robert Weinberg and Susan Lindquist, respectively ); nine Members of the National Academy of Sciences ( David Bartel, Gerald Fink, Rudolf Jaenisch, Eric Lander, Susan Lindquist, Harvey Lodish, Terry Orr-Weaver, David Page, and Weinberg ); three Members of the Institute of Medicine ( Fink, Lander, and Weinberg ); and seven Fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences ( Jaenisch, Fink, Lander, Lindquist, Lodish, Page and Weinberg.

Eric Steven Lander ( born February 3, 1957 ) is a Professor of Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ), a member of the Whitehead Institute, and director of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard who has devoted his career toward realizing the promise of the human genome for medicine.

Of Mark Antony De Wolfe Howe the philosopher Whitehead said the Earth's first visitors to Mars should be persons likely to make a good impression, and when he was asked, `` Whom would you send ''??

In the panentheistic model of process philosophy and theology the writers Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne rejected that the universe was made of substance, instead reality is composed of living experiences ( occasions of experience ).

This approach was continued by Russell and Whitehead in their influential Principia Mathematica, first published 1910-1913, and with a revised second edition in 1927.

) A. N. Whitehead, while reading some of Peirce's unpublished manuscripts soon after arriving at Harvard in 1924, was struck by how Peirce had anticipated his own " process " thinking.

The principle was stated as a theorem of propositional logic by Russell and Whitehead in Principia Mathematica as:

The need for a modified view of omnipotence was also articulated by Alfred North Whitehead in the early 20th century and expanded upon by the aforementioned philosopher Charles Hartshorne.

This project may have been ultimately defeasible, and afterwards Whitehead intuited that the entire venture was an organ of an overarching ontological mistake.

In psychology, the subject of imagination was again explored more extensively since Whitehead, and the question of feasibility or " eternal objects " of thought became central to the impaired theory of mind explorations that framed postmodern cognitive science.

The process, rather than the outcomes, seemed to drive his explicit behaviour and odd use of language, e. g., he called God the " Supreme Fascist ", echoing the role Whitehead assigned, as if the synthesis of Erdős and collaborators in seeking proofs, creating sense-datum for other mathematicians, was itself the expression of a divine will.

Narrated by Anton Lesser, with Geoffrey Whitehead as Death, Carl Prekopp as Mort, Clare Corbett as Ysabell and Alice Hart as Princess Keli, the programme was first broadcast in four parts in mid-2004 and has been repeated frequently, most recently on BBC7.

The first working prototype of the modern self-propelled torpedo was created by a commission placed by Giovanni Luppis (), an Austrian naval officer from Fiume ( now called Rijeka ), a port city of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy ( modern Croatia ), and Robert Whitehead, an English engineer who was the manager of a town factory.

Whitehead was unable to improve the machine substantially, since the clockwork motor, attached ropes, and surface attack mode all contributed to a slow and cumbersome weapon.

Maintaining proper depth was a major problem in the early days but Whitehead introduced his " secret " in 1868 which overcame this.

The largest Whitehead torpedo was in diameter and long, made of polished steel or phosphor-bronze, with a gun-cotton warhead.

Whitehead faced competition from the American Lieutenant Commander John A. Howell, whose own design, driven by flywheel, was simpler and cheaper.

The Howell torpedo was the only USN model until Whitehead torpedoes produced by Bliss and Williams ( later E W Bliss and Co ) entered service in 1894.

Whitehead purchased rights to the gyroscope of Ludwig Obry in 1888 but it was not sufficiently accurate, so in 1890 he purchased a better design ( ironically from Howell ) to improve control of his designs, which came to be called the " Devil's Device ".

Therefore, for the first part of its history, the torpedo was guided only in the sense that its course could be regulated so as to achieve an intended impact depth ( because of the sine wave running path of the Whitehead, this was a hit or miss proposition, even when everything worked correctly ) and, through gyroscopes, a straight course.

Luppis knew Robert Whitehead, an English engineer who was the manager of a Fiume factory and in 1864 Luppis made a contract with him in order to perfect the invention.

The first boat designed to fire the self-propelled Whitehead torpedo was HMS Lightning, completed in 1877.

In 1911 a controlling interest was acquired in Whitehead and Company, the torpedo manufacturers.

Several weapons were tested until it was decided that the torpedos of Robert Whitehead were ideal for the job.
