Just say no to 'just say no' : tensions in organizational approaches to youth and online privacy in the Americas
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)This thesis examines organizational practices in the field of youth online privacy in the Americas. I describe harms created by protective, universalist, individualistic approaches that pose youth as conditional citizens, ... -
Just spaces, just places : towards a theory of justice for human action in time and space
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985)The public role of effectively guiding, evaluating and prescribing the physical places, patterns and forms we produce and live in according to commonly held external socio-political ideals has been extremely constrained ... -
A Just Transition : energy democracy, community choice aggregation, and the (im)possibilities of change
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)The ways in which electricity is being generated, distributed, transmitted, and stored are undergoing unprecedented change. Movements for energy democracy, and proponents of a Just Transition -a transformation of the current ... -
Just Transition: Lessons from Mexico
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)In 2013, Mexico undertook a series of national energy reforms that promoted largescale, privately-funded renewable energy development. The stated goals of the reforms were to fill investment gaps in the public energy sector ... -
Just-in-time information retrieval
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)This thesis defines Just-In-Time Information Retrieval agents (JITIRs): a class of software agents that proactively present potentially valuable information based on a person's local context in an easily accessible yet ... -
Justice and the demands of realism
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The dissertation examines how concerns about the demands of realism should be addressed in political theories of justice. It asks whether the demands of realism should affect the construction of principles of justice and, ... -
Justification of village scale photovoltaic powered electrodialysis desalination systems for rural India
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis justifies photovoltaic (PV)-powered electrodialysis (ED) as an energy and cost-effective means of desalinating groundwater in rural India and presents the design requirements for a village-level system. Saline ... -
Justified generalization : acquiring procedures from examples
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985) -
Justifying Bayesianism
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Bayesianism, in its traditional form, consists of two claims about rational credences. According to the first claim, probabilism, rational credences form a probability function. According to the second claim, conditionalization, ... -
Justifying power : ruling group dominance and regime justification in multi-ethnic states
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The current but inconsistent upheaval in the Middle East suggests variations in what will topple regimes, and thus in how regimes have laid the groundwork to remain in power. This thesis examines variation in a social ... -
Jünger Can't Borrow: Demographic Imbalances and Currency Risk Premia
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Empirically, countries with relatively old populations have significantly lower interest rates and currency returns. As a first step towards explaining this fact, I develop a two-country overlapping generations model to ... -
K E E P E R : online conversation support scaffolding modeled after ancient and modern social technologies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Emergence, when an entity is observed to have properties its parts do not have on their own, is an awe inducing phenomenon seen within nature, complex organization theory, physics, art, and philosophy. Humans can experience ... -
K, Na distribution and unit cell parameters of alkali feldspars.

K-distribution fading models for Bayesian estimation of an underwater acoustic channel
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Current underwater acoustic channel estimation techniques generally apply linear MMSE estimation. This approach is optimal in a mean square error sense under the assumption that the impulse response fluctuations are well ... -
K-shell ionization in collisions of heavy atoms.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972) -
K-stability of Log Fano Cone Singularities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)In this thesis, we define the 𝛿-invariant for log Fano cone singularities, and show that the necessary and sufficient condition for K-semistability is 𝛿 ≥ 1. This generalizes the result of C. Li and K. Fujita. We also ... -
K-Star rapid rotators and the detection of relatively young multiple K-Star systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)In this thesis, I searched through the Kepler light curves of 14,440 K-star targets for evidence of periodicities that indicate rapid stellar rotation. Many Kepler M, K, and G stars show modulations in flux due to rotating ... -
K-theoretic Hall algebras for quivers with potential
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Given a quiver with potential (Q, W), Kontsevich-Soibelman constructed a Hall algebra on the cohomology of the stack of representations of (Q, W). As shown by Davison-Meinhardt, this algebra comes with a filtration whose ... -
K-theory and index theory on manifolds with boundary
