The role of organizational culture in creating secure and resilient supply chains
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
This thesis aims to understand the role that organizational culture plays in creating secure and resilient supply chains. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the government's subsequent response, propelled ...
Use of fiber reinforced polymer composite in bridge structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Fiber reinforced polymer composite (FRP) is a new construction material, gradually gaining acceptance from civil engineers. Bridge engineering is among the fields in civil engineering benefiting from the introduction of ...
Low-impact development in the Assabet River Watershed : site hydrologic design and watershed-scal implications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Low-Impact Development (LID) is a relatively new approach to stormwater management. It aims to mimic natural hydrology through increased recharge and decreased runoff. LID technologies focus on distributed treatment of ...
Development of program implementation, evaluation, and selection tools for household water treatment and safe storage systems in developing countries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Over the past six years, the MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering's Master of Engineering program has undertaken various projects involved with the design and implementation of a wide range of household ...
An evaluation of household drinking water treatment systems in Peru : the table filter and the safe water system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
(cont.) storage, and education. Tests on the SWSs in Peru demonstrated 99.6% E.coli removal and 95% total coliform removal. Only 30% of the SWSs tested contained water at or above the WHO-recommended concentration of free ...
Safe water storage in Kenya's modified clay pot : standardization, tap design, and cost recovery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
One of the main components necessary for providing safe drinking water for users who lack piped water in the home is the ability to safely store it in the home. Users in the Nyanza Province of Kenya frequently carry water ...
An analysis of the production and manufacture of the modified clay pot at the Oriang Women's Pottery Group, the Amilo-Rangwe Pottery Group, and the Kinda E Teko Pottery Group in Nyanza Province, Kenya
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
In response to the growing demands for safe water supplies and the absence of a central infrastructure capable of meeting those demands, CARE-Kenya has implemented a safe water storage program at the household level. Central ...
Design considerations for retractable-roof stadia
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, ...
Modeling and analysis of phosphorus reduction by rain gardens and other BMPs in stormwater runoff from small urban developments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
As part of The Discovery Museums (TDM) Low Impact Development (LID) Design and Monitoring report (Master of Engineering Group Project) for the town of Acton, , the effectiveness of low impact development technologies at ...
Spirasol : improvements to semi-continuous solar disinfection water treatment systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
An experimental study was carried out to determine the feasibility of an original point of use solar water disinfection system created by the author and named "Spirasol." The study primarily focused on the comparison of ...
