Applications of long storage time optical cavities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Optical precision measurements have become one of the most important tools in physics to test the fundamental laws and to probe the universe around us. Often such experiments require high finesse cavities, and optical loss ... -
Applications of Low Temperature Bolometers to Reactor Neutrinos and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)Low temperature bolometers are a powerful tool for precise energy measurements. This thesis describes the application of bolometers to the detection of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS) and Neutrinoless ... -
Applications of machine learning : basketball strategy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)While basketball has begun to rapidly evolve in recent years with the popularization of the three-point shot, the way we understand the game has lagged behind. Players are still forced into the characterization of the ... -
Applications of machine learning : consumer credit risk analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Current credit bureau analytics, such as credit scores, are based on slowly varying consumer characteristics, and thus, they are not adaptable to changes in customers behaviors and market conditions over time. In this ... -
Applications of Machine Learning and First-Principle Modeling to Evaluate Design Enhancements in Autoinjectors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)One of the key guiding principles in Amgen operations is to ensure reliability of the offered combination products to best serve patients and maintain a competitive advantage for the business. With a broad device portfolio ... -
Applications of micromachined devices to malaria and cancer detection
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Of the many micromachined diagnostic devices currently being developed, suspended microchannel resonator technology seems unique in that is not a scaling down of an existing technique and does not require labeling of the ... -
Applications of missing feature theory to speaker recognition
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)An important problem in speaker recognition is the degradation that occurs when speaker models trained with speech from one type of channel are used to score speech from another type of channel, known as channel mismatch. ... -
Applications of mobile barcode recognition to real-time events and gatherings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)We discuss our explorations encouraging discussion and information exchange in high-bandwidth, real-time settings such as trade shows, fairs and conferences. We detail the iterative construction and evaluation of the ... -
Applications of modular construction techniques for habitability spaces in naval ship design and production
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)Traditional construction methods for habitability spaces in naval ships, particularly aircraft carriers, are manpower intensive and expensive. In response to decreasing defense spending, the Navy is considering methods to ... -
Applications of Monte Carlo techniques to the study of amorphous polymer deformation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Applications of motif discovery in biological data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Sequential motif discovery, the ability to identify conserved patterns in ordered datasets without a priori knowledge of exactly what those patterns will be, is a frequently encountered and difficult problem in computational ... -
Applications of nanoimprinted structures to organic photovoltaics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Small-molecule organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) have the potential to be a low-cost, flexible power conversion solution to many energy problems. These OPVs take advantage of an extremely thin active layer which enables ... -
