Lease classification of aircraft leasing : a case study of cross-border leases between Korean Air and its subsidiary
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Aircraft leasing represents a significant portion of the financial statements of airline firms. Accounting treatment of lease transactions is becoming more complicated as firms attempt to achieve off-balance-sheet outcomes ... -
The leasehold as an alternative ownership structure
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Leaseholds play roles in many different types of transactions -- from single-family home purchases to multi-tenant office tower developments. Despite their flexibility, however, leaseholds are rare in the US and are not ... -
Leashes or lemmings? : alliances as restraining devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Does alliance restraint happen in international affairs? What theories explain the success or failure of restraint efforts? Do states ever form alliances in order to restrain? Alliance restraint - an actual or anticipated ... -

Least Squares Shadowing for sensitivity analysis of chaotic dynamical systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In numerous scientific and engineering fields, sensitivity analysis tools are essential for design optimization as well as uncertainty quantification. For instance, adjoint algorithms are common place in aerospace engineering ... -
Least Squares Shadowing for sensitivity analysis of large chaotic systems and fluid flows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Computational methods for sensitivity analysis have proven to be incredibly useful to a wide range of engineers. Aerospace engineers have used these methods to optimize aerodynamic shapes and aircraft configurations, ... -
Least-cost ground holding strategies with departure and arrival delay uncertainties
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Ground Holding Programs (GDP) were introduced in the early eighties to lower the air traffic controllers' workload when airports are congested and aircraft have o wait in the air before they can land. The underlying idea ... -
