Light-form : reception/distribution of direct sun-energy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984)The era of the energy-efficient building is upon us. You've heard all the terms before: solar, daylight, super-insulation and so on. These terms describe ways in which buildings respond to the presence of light. Light ... -
Light-induced many-body correlations in ultracold gases
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)In this thesis, we investigate several methods to generate and probe the quantum correlations in ultracold gases using light. A high-finesse optical cavity is used to enhance the atom-light interaction and we can produce ... -
Light-induced torque at multipolar plasmon resonance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Light-matter interaction provides a powerful means to control mechanical excitation in the nanoscale. The efficiency of this interaction reaches maximum at optical resonance. By understanding and designing the electromagnetic ... -
Light-Matter Interactions in High-Efficiency Photovoltaics, Light-Emitting Devices, and Strongly Coupled Microcavities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)The interactions of light and matter drive many of today’s devices, from electricity generation and consumption to manipulation. Within electricity generation, emerging thin film photovoltaics now rival traditional ... -
Light-matter interactions of two-dimensional materials and the coupled nanostructures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Two-dimensional (2D) materials have gained increasing attention due to their unique and extraordinary electrical and optoelectronic properties. These properties can be largely attributed to the fundamental light-matter ... -
Light-Matter Interactions with Photonic Quasiparticles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)The interactions of matter with electromagnetic fields underlie very many physical phenomena. The physics of these interactions is greatly simplified by their weakness, enabling us to understand them largely at the lowest ... -
Light-weight materials selection for high-speed naval craft
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)A decision analysis study was conducted on the process of materials selection for high-speed naval craft using the Modified Digital Logic (MDL) method proposed by B. Dehgham-Manshadi et al in ref [17]. The purpose is to ... -
Lighting a building with a single bulb : toward a system for illumination in the 21st c.; or, A centralized illumination system for the efficient decoupling and recovery of lighting related heat
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)Piping light represents the first tenable method for recovery and reutilization of lighting related heat. It can do this by preserving the energy generated at the lamp as radiative, departing from precedent and avoiding ... -
The lightning network cross-chain exchange : a decentralized approach for peer to peer exchange across blockchain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)The development of decentralized blockchain-based systems has unlocked opportunity in untrusted systems. As more blockchains were created, however, a lack of interoperability became apparent. In response, centralized ... -
Lightning-excited, quasi-electrostatic effects in the lower ionosphere
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Lightning/percipitation relationships on a global basis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Rainfall and lightning are measured and compared on a global basis using data gathered from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, launched in November 1997. The satellite provides simultaneous ... -
Lights, camera, emergency : preemptive planning for disaster relief
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)With increasing frequency and accuracy, the prediction of natural disasters and their effects are being charted. Their impendence is a certainty and yet we ignore the warnings, the lessons of the past, and the prominence ... -
LightShow: Abstract Representations of Music Lighting In Python
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-09)This thesis explores music lighting and ways in which music lighting can be generated automatically. We attempted to use videos of prior concerts as training data for a machine learning model, but ultimately this proved ... -
The lightspeed automatic interactive lighting preview system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)We present an automated approach for high-quality preview of feature-film rendering during lighting design. Similar to previous work, we use a deep-framebuffer shaded on the GPU to achieve interactive performance. Our first ... -
LightSpeed: A Framework to Profile and Evaluate Inference Accelerators at Scale
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)The massive growth of machine learning-based applications, and the end of Moore’s law, created a pressing need to build highly efficient computing platforms from the ground up. Consequently, researchers and practitioners ... -
Lightweight concrete : investigations into the production of natural fiber reinforcement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)The purpose of this study is to investigate the benefits of adding natural fiber tensile reinforcement to aerated concrete. Concrete is a great composite material which can be created in various proportions and with various ... -
Lightweight concrete : investigations into the production of variable density cellular materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This research focuses on the intersection between material composition and form in the development of a new type of concrete. As concrete is the most widely used building material in the world, innovation in this material ... -
A lightweight method for improving coordination in distributed, high-variability product companies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Product companies face new challenges as they continue to expand their international footprints. Whereas globalization initially sought savings by outsourcing production to low-cost regions, emerging markets now present ... -
