Improving the rowing process with a computer model and optimal control theory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
Improving the StarLogo nova graphics renderer with lights and shadows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)In this thesis, I worked on improving the graphics renderer of StarLogo Nova, a browser-based simulation creator for middle/high school students. I updated the renderer to support multiple light sources (point and directional ... -
Improving the strength of 3DP parts and development of controlled strength cellular structure investment casting shell
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)Three Dimensional Printing (3DP) is a rapid prototyping process that creates a three dimensional part directly from computer models by printing a sequence of two dimensional layers. In this research, the strength of 3DP ... -
Improving the TaleBlazer multiplayer platform
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)TaleBlazer is a platform for building and playing augmented reality, location-based, mobile games. Users design games in a web-based editor and then play the games on their mobile device with the TaleBlazer mobile app. The ... -
Improving the temporal consistency of satellite-based contrail detections using ensemble Kalman filtering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Condensation trails or contrails are line-shaped ice clouds which can form behind aircraft, and current estimates indicate that they account for the majority of aviation’s climate impacts. While contrail models exist to ... -
Improving the textbook exchange system at MIT
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Textbooks have become one of the biggest expenses of a college education. We attempt to solve this problem by providing students with better information and tools to facilitate book exchange. More specifically, we focus ... -
Improving the transfer experience at intermodal transit stations through innovative dispatch strategies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This research introduces the concept of a bus hold light system that is based on headways of arriving trains in an effort to improve rail-to-bus transfer connectivity through a simple-to-implement, low-cost dispatching ... -
Improving the transparency of government requests for user data from ICT companies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In 1968, the US Congress enacted a detailed list of requirements for transparency reporting of wiretaps but with subsequent surveillance statutes with minimal reporting requirements and rapidly evolving Internet technologies, ... -
Improving the use of commercial building HVAC systems for electric grid ancillary services
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Increasing renewable and distributed electricity generation increases the requirement of grid-scale flexibility, often provided through ancillary services. Buildings can play a significant role in meeting this challenge ... -
Improving the valuation of research and development : a composite of real options, decision analysis and benefit valuation frameworks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)The objective of research and development (R&D) is to create valuable complements to the existing capabilities of the firm. Unfortunately, valuing R&D is difficult because it is an uncertain and sequential process that ... -
Improving thermodynamic property estimation through volume translation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Steady state process simulation is used throughout the chemical industry to guide development and help reduce uncertainty and risk. Volumetric equations of state (EOS)s are the most robust of the numerous methods available ... -
Improving toggle rate in a rail-to-rail comparator output stage
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)The demand for high-speed components has driven an increase in the speed of analog comparators, a building block for many analog circuits. This paper describes the modification of one of Linear Technology's low-cost, ... -
Improving trade visibility and fidelity in defense requirements portfolio management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)In 2003, the Department of Defense (DoD) requirements process migrated from a bottom-up, threat-based force-planning method to a capability-based, top-down approach with the introduction of the Joint Capabilities Integration ... -
Improving transit demand management with Smart Card data : general framework and applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Increases in ridership are outpacing capacity expansions in a number of transit systems. By shifting their focus to demand management, agencies can instead influence how customers use the system, getting more out of the ... -
Improving transit service connectivity : the application of operations planning and operations control strategies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)(cont.) showed that the benefits accrued from coordinating schedules on Route 53 were not significant mainly due to the headway compatibility requirement which reduces the number of transfers amenable for improvement. ... -
Improving transportation access to health care : addressing the needs of the elderly
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
Improving transportation access to the South Boston Seaport District
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Boston's Seaport District comprises approximately 1,000 acres of mixed-use residential, commercial and industrial space, which fosters innovation, collaboration and entrepreneurship. Development in the area is occurring ... -
Improving understanding of alternative fuel vehicle market dynamics using interactive simulations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Interactive management flight simulators are becoming increasingly common as a tool for teaching key concepts in management and related fields. Advocates of flight simulators suggest that the active engagement of students ... -
Improving understanding of climate change dynamics using interactive simulations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Global climate change is one of the most complex problems that human kind will face during the 21st century. Long delays in changing greenhouse gas emissions and in the response of the climate to anthropogenic forcing mean ... -
Improving Understanding of Lithium-Oxygen Batteries Using Atomistic Simulations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Developing novel battery technologies is required to electrify hard to decarbonize industries. One such novel technology, lithium–oxygen batteries, has great potential for electric aviation but is hampered by our lack of ...
