Machine learning for pain assessment and management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Pain is a subjective distressing experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage with sensory, emotional, cognitive and social components. This work aims to develop automatic methods for quantifying pain ...
Experimental studies of internal dark currents in high gradient accelerator structures at 17 GHz
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
This thesis presents the measurement of the internal dark current in normal conducting single cell standing wave disk-loaded waveguide (DLWG) accelerator structures that operate at 17 GHz, and its comparison with theory. ...
Autonomous planning and resource allocation in reconfigurable smart sensing networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Structural health monitoring (SHM) uses sensor data to quantitatively assess the integrity and performance of infrastructure, as a basis for extending the lifespan of aging systems. Wireless sensor networks promise to ...
On traffic disruptions : event detection from visual data and Bayesian congestion games
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Road traffic is often subject to random disturbances due to weather, incidents, or special events. Effectively detecting and disseminating information about disturbances is a key goal of modern, "smart" infrastructure. ...
Nanostructures for vacuum optoelectronic engineering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
The interaction between free electrons and electromagnetic fields enables a wide range of scientific research and technological applications, ranging from electronic, optoelectronic, and microwave vacuum tubes, to electron ...
Integrated robust and adaptive methods in the heating oil industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Almost six million households in the United States alone use heating oil as their main fuel, the vast majority of these in the Northeastern US. In this thesis, we examine some problems faced by a planner who is contracted ...
Differential strain analysis : application to shock induced microfractures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977)
"Stop or i'll shoot, comply and I won't" : coercive assurance in international politics/
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Why do some coercive threats succeed while others fail? Successful coercion requires not only that I credibly threaten you until you comply, but also that I credibly assure you that I will not punish you after you comply. ...
Models across multiple length scales to advance biomass upgrading
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
The development of efficient electrochemical processes, which can utilize electrons from renewable energy sources and incorporate sustainable sources of carbon present in biomass, could enable the decarbonization of the ...
First-principles based treatment of charged species equilibria at electrochemical interfaces: model system of zirconium oxide and titanium oxide
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Ionic defects are known to influence the magnetic, electronic and transport properties of oxide materials. Understanding defect chemistry provides guidelines for defect engineering in various applications including energy ...
