Adaptive electricity access planning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
About 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to electricity and an additional 1 billion have unreliable access. The social ramifications of this problem are noteworthy because access to electric power has the potential ...
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 ...
Distribution network use-of-system charges under high penetration of distributed energy resources
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Growing integration of distributed energy resources (DER) presents the electric power sector with the potential for signicant changes to technical operations, business models, and industry structure. New physical components, ...
Large-scale consensus clustering and data ownership considerations for medical applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
An intersection of events has led to a massive increase in the amount of medical data being collected from patients inside and outside the hospital. These events include the development of new sensors, the continuous ...
