Late standardization and technological catch-up
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this study, we examine the process of "late standardization," in which latecomers engage in standards activities in order to move towards and beyond the technological frontier. Based on case studies of latecomers in the ... -
Late transition metal bimetallics for photocatalytic hydrogen production, M-X and C-H bond activation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Broadly defined this thesis has focused on the design and study of molecular catalysts that engender multi-electron reactions and photoreactions on small molecule substrates relevant to solar energy conversion. Specifically ... -
Late transition metal catalyzed C-N and C-C bond forming reactions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)New methods for the palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl halides are described. Key to these is the development of new catalysts and reaction conditions for these transformations. Initially, P(o-tol)3 ligated palladium ... -
Latency reduction techniques in chip multiprocessor cache systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Single-chip multiprocessors (CMPs) solve several bottlenecks facing chip designers today. Compared to traditional superscalars, CMPs deliver higher performance at lower power for thread-parallel workloads. In this thesis, ... -
Latent Clustered Causal Models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-09)We consider the problem of learning directed graphical models in the presence of latent variables. We define latent clustered causal models as a particular restriction on directed graphical models with latent variables and ... -
Latent demand for mobility: the transportation disadvantaged.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1971) -
Latent heat fluxes through nano-engineered porous materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Micro- and nano-scale truss architectures provide mechanical strength, light weight, and breatheability in polymer barriers. Liquid evaporation and transport of resulting vapor through truss voids (pores) cools surfaces ... -
Latent Lab: Exploration Beyond Search and Synthesis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)This Master’s thesis investigates the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) models, particularly machine learning and natural language processing techniques, to facilitate brainstorming and ideation in the invention ... -
Latent source models for nonparametric inference
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Nearest-neighbor inference methods have been widely and successfully used in numerous applications such as forecasting which news topics will go viral, recommending products to people in online stores, and delineating ... -
Latent state space models for prediction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In this thesis, I explore a novel algorithm to model the joint behavior of multiple correlated signals. Our chosen example is the ECG (Electrocardiogram) and ABP (Arterial Blood Pressure) signals from patients in the ICU ... -
Latent system dynamics within corporate venture capital firms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)At the current pace and scale of sociotechnical progress, incumbent firms must seek out alternatives to traditional R&D in order to protect their current market position. By deploying corporate venture capital, many firms ... -
Latent tree structure learning for cross-document coreference resolution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Cross Document Coreference Resolution (CDCR) is the problem of learning which mentions, coming from several different documents, correspond to the same entity. This thesis approaches the CDCR problem by first turning it ... -
Latent variable model estimation via collaborative filtering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Similarity based collaborative filtering for matrix completion is a popular heuristic that has been used widely across industry in the previous decades to build recommendation systems, due to its simplicity and scalability. ... -
Latent variable models for understanding user behavior in software applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Understanding user behavior in software applications is of significant interest to software developers and companies. By having a better understanding of the user needs and usage patterns, the developers can design a more ... -
Later refraction arrivals in layered liquids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1959) -
Lateral control system design for VTOL landing on a DD963 in high sea states
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982) -
Lateral dynamics and control of rail vehicles.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975) -
The lateral failure of spars
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1924) -
Lateral forces on hydraulic pistons caused by axial leakage flow
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1951) -
Lateral hypothalamic control of motivated behaviors through the midbrain dopamine system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The lateral hypothalamus and ventral tegmental area are two brain regions that have long been known to be involved in processing reward and the control of feeding behaviors. We continue work in this area by identifying the ...
