Evaluating end-of-life strategies for decommissioned semiconductor facilities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)This thesis studies the life-cycle of semiconductor facilities and the potential roles that they may play once they reach the end of their life. Specifically, the author's findings are based on studies associated with the ... -
Evaluating energy dissipation during expansion in a refrigeration cycle using flue pipe acoustic resonators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This research evaluates the feasibility of using a flue pipe acoustic resonator to dissipate energy from a refrigerant stream in order to achieve greater cooling power from a cryorefrigeration cycle. Two models of the ... -
Evaluating express bus service
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Express or limited-stop bus services are a competitive effort by transit agencies to provide higher quality service to customers who make longer trips and place higher premiums on travel time, convenience and comfort. While ... -
Evaluating fiscal strain in cities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981) -
Evaluating flexibility in railroad construction projects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis aims to valuate flexibilities in a large-scale railroad construction project. In general, a railroad construction project involves a large amount of flexibilities due to its long construction period and conflicts ... -
Evaluating Fluoride Molten Salt Thermophysical Properties with Transient Grating Spectroscopy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Accurate molten salt thermophysical properties are required to optimize the efficiency and safety of molten salt-based energy technologies. Unfortunately, existing thermal conductivity data for molten fluorides are plagued ... -
Evaluating foreign Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects using the adjusted net present value (ANPV) method : Thailand's Second Stage Expressway (SES)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Accurately incorporating country risks in project evaluation is a complicated process. This thesis presents an evaluation framework, based on a variation of the standard adjusted net present value (ANPV) method, that ... -
Evaluating Fuel-Climate Tradeoffs in Contrail Avoidance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-02)Contrails, the line-shaped clouds that can form behind airplanes, have been estimated to be a major contributor to aviation-induced climate change. Operational contrail avoidance via flight re-routing may be an effective ... -
Evaluating future biopharmaceutical inspection needs, infrastructure capability gaps, and technology development strategies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The biotechnology industry is undergoing a paradigm shift in the properties of the manufactured drug product. As therapeutic protein formulations change from agonist to antagonist methods of action, the concentration of ... -
Evaluating HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 performance with dependency graph properties
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)This thesis presents an evaluation of web performance under HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. It takes a novel approach to compare the two protocols and understand the performance differences between them. It analyzes each protocol's ... -
Evaluating human fecal contamination sources in Kranji Reservoir Catchment, Singapore
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Singapore government through its Public Utilities Board is interested in opening Kranji Reservoir to recreational use. However, water courses within the Kranji Reservoir catchment contain human fecal indicator bacteria ... -
Evaluating human neural tuning curves from a mechanical model of the cochlea by relating them to psychophysical masking data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Evaluating human-EVA suit injury using wearable sensors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)All the current flown spacesuits are gas pressurized and require astronauts to exert a substantial amount of energy in order to move the suit into a desired position. The pressurization of the suit therefore limits human ... -
Evaluating information transfer in product development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993) -
Evaluating interactive documentaries : audience, impact and innovation in public interest media
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Public interest media organizations are increasingly interested in experimenting with interactive and participatory approaches to documentary storytelling enabled by digital technologies. However, due to the experimental ... -
Evaluating Intrusion Detection Systems for Energy Diversion Attacks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The widespread deployment of smart meters and ICT technologies is enabling continuous collection of high resolution data about consumption behavior and health of grid infrastructure. This has also spurred innovations in ... -
Evaluating inventory ordering policies : a methodology and application
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This work considers how inventory ordering policies can distort the demand signal as it moves up the supply chain, magnifying the impact of the bullwhip effect. We define an inventory ordering policy as a set of rules that ... -
Evaluating inventory segmentation strategies for aftermarket service parts in heavy industry using linked discrete-event and Monte Carlo simulations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Heavy industries operate equipment having a long life to generate revenue or perform a mission. These industries must invest in the specialized service parts needed to maintain their equipment, because unlike in other ... -
