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 ...
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 ...
Valuing energy storage in electricity grids : a machine learning approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Meeting climate change mitigation targets likely requires the integration of large amounts of renewable energy generation, as well as energy storage systems, into the electric grid. However, the deployment of energy storage ...
Investigating the role of microglia in myelin development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
We investigate the role of microglia in myelin development. Myelination is an essential process in early development that consists of the ensheathment of axons by myelin, which ensures rapid conduction of action potentials. ...
An exercise in selecting low-cost air quality sensor placements within an urban environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Air pollution poses the most important environmental health risk to citizens of major cities all over the world. The high cost of current monitoring programs means that enforcement of current regulation, such as the United ...
Opportunities for U.S.-China scientific collaboration in building a bilateral quantum network
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
From advancements in time transfer to networked science, quantum networks can enable a new host of experiments that would not otherwise be achievable. We can learn a lot about building such a network to connect quantum ...
