Design and validation of mobile kit and machine learning algorithms for pulmonary disease screening and diagnosis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Pulmonary diseases are responsible for more than 15% of deaths worldwide. Much of this burden is concentrated in the developing world, where these diseases cause 19% of deaths. In much of the developing world, pulmonary ...
Feedback loops in educational environments using web-based survey tools : new technology development and three implementation case studies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
This thesis presents lessons from the development of an on-line, web-based feedback system and preliminary analysis of the socio-technical interactions associated with the specification, design and use of this system. The ...
An assessment of the economic, regulatory and technical implications of large-scale solar power deployment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Electricity from solar energy has many favorable attributes. Despite its current high cost relative to other technology options, a combination of cost reductions and policy support measures could lead to increasing deployment ...
Air time : another measure of the quality of passenger service
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
The proposal of a new metric called "Air Time" and its various components, show the advantage of having a broader perspective of the travel process of airline passengers. Travel time is basically affected by three different ...
Understanding the institutional landscape of cyber security
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
The decentralized architecture of the Internet, which has been key to its development and worldwide deployment, is making it challenging to secure Internet user experience. Many organizations claim to be playing a role in ...
Manufacturing variability; effects and characterization through text-mining
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Researchers and developers of new materials and processes often underestimate or neglect the effects of manufacturing variability and, as a result, make overly optimistic assumptions about their technologies. In this thesis, ...
Using "teacher moments" as an online practice space for parent-teacher conference simulation in preservice teacher education
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
The aim of this thesis is to investigate and improve the suitability of Teacher Moments as an online practice space for parent-teacher conference simulation in preservice teacher education. We evaluate Teacher Moments by ...
Modelling the prospects and impacts of methanol use in transportation in China at computable general equilibrium
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
The use of methanol as a transportation fuel is not a new phenomenon. However, factors such as price fluctuations, resistance to widespread introduction by special interest groups, and governmental policies have stood in ...
Enabling malware remediation in expanding home networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
As the Internet of Things (IoT) grows, malware will increasingly threaten Internet security and stability. Many actors, from individuals installing antivirus on their personal computers to law enforcement conducting botnet ...
