A two-step port-reduced reduced-basis component method for time domain elastodynamic PDE with application to structural health monitoring
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
We present a two-step parameterized Model Order Reduction (pMOR) technique for elastodynamic Partial Differential Equations (PDE). pMOR techniques for parameterized time domain PDEs offer opportunities for faster solution ...
Open source hardware entrepreneurship
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Having overturned the traditional producer-led, in-house production model of software, open source entered the physical world and started to change physical products' development and commercialization process. Will open ...
Determining phosphate levels in natural water using a novel electrochemical measurement device
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Current measurement of the phosphorus level in natural water are based on the phosphomolybdenum blue (PMB) method. In this method, the phosphate and molybdate ion form 12-molybdophosphoric acid (12-MPA) which is reduced ...
Efficiency and abstraction in task and motion planning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Modern robots are capable of complex and highly dynamic behaviors, yet the decisionmaking algorithms that drive them struggle to solve problems involving complex behaviors like manipulation. The combination of continuous ...
Input-output biomolecular systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The ability of cells to sense and respond to their environment is encoded in biomolecular reaction networks, in which information travels through processes such as production, modification, and removal of biomolecules. ...
3D organ property mapping using freehand ultrasound scans
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
3D organ property mapping has gained a considerable amount of interest in the recent years because of its diagnostic and clinical significance. Existing methods for 3D property mapping include computed tomography (CT), ...
Thermal energy grid storage : liquid containment and pumping
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
As the cost of renewable energy falls below fossil fuels, the key barrier to widespread sustainable electricity has become availability on demand. Energy storage can enable dispatchable renewables, but only with drastic ...
Transfer learning and robustness for natural language processing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Teaching machines to understand human language is one of the most elusive and long-standing challenges in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Driven by the fast development of deep learning, state-of-the-art NLP models have ...
Instabilities of finite-width internal wave beams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Internal gravity waves are fundamental to the dynamics of density stratified fluids and the instability mechanisms by which these waves dissipate their energy are a potentially significant factor that underlies the ...
Morphological approaches to understanding Antarctic Sea ice thickness
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Sea ice thickness has long been an under-measured quantity, even in the satellite era. The snow surface elevation, which is far easier to measure, cannot be directly converted into sea ice thickness estimates without ...
