The instability of the prewar economy reconsidered : a critical examination of historical macroeconomic data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985) -
The instability of time-dependent jets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)The central focus of my thesis is to study the instability jets of various complexity by analyzing the linear and nonlinear dynamics. We applied this methodology to four different situations in order to learn the following. ... -
Instability-induced transformation of interfacial layers in composites and its multifunctional applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Inspired by the undulating patterns found in different plant and biological cells in nature, this thesis explores the deformation-induced wrinkling instability transformation in the microstructure of composites with thin ... -
The installation of a seismic isolation system for building retrofit
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001) -
Installations and the conditions of vision, the structure of phenomena : the phenomenon of structure
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1979) -
Instance-Optimized Data Structures for Membership Queries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-02)We are near the end of Moore’s law and hardware growth has hit a stagnation. Modern data processing systems need to continuously improve their performance to match the humongous growth of data. Data structures and algorithms ... -
Instance-Optimized Database Indexes and Storage Layouts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-09)For any modern database system, its physical design, which is composed of both the storage layout of the data itself and auxiliary data structures such as indexes, is a critical piece of maintaining high performance in the ... -
Instantaneous continental-shelf scale sensing of cod with Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing (OAWRS)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Reported declines in the population of Atlantic cod have a potential to affect long-term ecological balance and the sustainability of the cod fishery along the US northeast coast. These assessments have led to severe fishing ... -
Instanton correction, wall crossing and mirror symmetry of Hitchin's moduli spaces
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)We study two instanton correction problems of Hitchin's moduli spaces along with their wall crossing formulas. The hyperkahler metric of a Hitchin's moduli space can be put into an instanton-corrected form according to ... -
The institute of optimism for professional journalism in the social media era
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)The ecology of contemporary journalism is experiencing a power shift from traditional media such as newspapers and TV news to social media. This shift is bringing a crisis of professional journalism in the traditional media ... -
Institutes for innovation : the emergence of academic-industrial cooperation and narratives of progress in the early 20th century
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Early 20th century America is a critical context for understanding industrial innovation. Departing from a focus on innovation itself as manifested through the creation of new products and consumer opportunities, this ... -
An institutional analysis of the architectural profession and passive solar energy : the discovery of hidden barriers.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1979) -
Institutional arrangements and land reallocation during transition : a regional analysis of small farms in Romania
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)My dissertation examines an unexpected outcome of post-socialist agricultural transformation in the Central and Eastern European countries. Contrary to the initial expectations of Neoliberal transition policy-makers, various ... -

An institutional deployment framework for intelligent transportation systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Increasing traffic congestion around the world is limiting urban mobility and contributing to unsustainable environmental, economic, and social conditions. The concept of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), which is ... -
Institutional design for IVHS in Osaka : applying the concept of ISTEA in Japan
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Institutional expansion, community relations, and the hospital next door
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Hospitals play many roles in a city: alternately, they may be caretakers of the sick, economic engines, intellectual hubs, major employers, and neighbors. This last role has evolved greatly over the last 45 years. The ...
