Effect of applied pressures on the radon characteristics of an underground mine environment.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1965) -
The effect of atmosphere on lead halide perovskites
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Metal halide perovskites are exciting materials for low-cost optoelectronic devices such as solar cells and LEDs. At present, perovskite materials still suffer from substantial non-radiative decay, particularly under solar ... -
Effect of auditory peripheral displays on unmanned aerial vehicle operator performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)With advanced autonomy, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operations will likely be conducted by single operators controlling multiple UAVs. As operator attention is divided across multiple supervisory tasks, there is a need ... -
Effect of automotive electrical system changes on fuel consumption using incremental efficiency methodology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)There has been a continuous increase in automotive electric power usage. Future projections show no sign of it decreasing. Therefore, the automotive industry has a need to either improve the current 12 Volt automotive ... -
The effect of axial power shaping on ore utilization in pressurized water reactors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Effect of ball impact location and temperature on softball bat handle vibration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)The bat-ball collision is a crucial part of softball, and minimizing excessive vibrations in the bat after impact makes batting more comfortable for the hitter and optimizes the transfer of momentum between the bat and ... -
Effect of binder drop placement strategy on surface finish of fine ceramic parts by 3D printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)The interaction of droplets with powder is the key set of phenomena that determine many aspects of Three Dimensional Printing (3DP) including dimensional control and surface finish of the printed part. In the creation of ... -
The effect of biplane combination on airfoil characterisitcs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1926) -
Effect of board independence on incentive compensation and compensation disclosure : evidence from Europe
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)My thesis examines how the lack of board-of-director independence affects the structure and disclosure of executive compensation. I find that European companies with more insiders on their boards grant their executives ... -
Effect of bromotrifluoromethane and trifluoromethane on laminar jet diffusion flames in normal and microgravity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
The effect of calcium on the gasification reactions of carbon
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986) -
The effect of carbonation after demolition on the life cycle assessment of pavements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)The high contribution of CO₂ emissions associated with pavements has driven research to assess the life cycle of concrete versus asphalt structures and to develop a strategy to reduce the carbon footprint. The life cycle ... -
The effect of carbonation on creep and shrinkage on Portland cement concrete
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1961) -
The effect of carbonation on the shrinkage, strength, and permeability of Portland cement concrete
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1962) -
The effect of carburetor refurbishing on emissions, performance, and fuel economy in a classic pickup tested using real-world tests
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This project investigated how refurbishing the carburetor of a 1952 Chevrolet Pickup would affect emissions, performance, and fuel economy. The test used were real-world tests that anyone, with or without access to a ... -
The effect of carouseling on MEMS IMU performance for gyrocompassing applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The concept of carouseling an IMU is simulated in order to improve the accuracy of MEMS IMUs. Carouseling consists of slewing the IMU through a pre-determined trajectory that is selected based on inherent properties that ... -
The effect of cash constraints on smallholder farmer revenue
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Many smallholder farmers in developing countries struggle to make ends meet. We develop a model that examines how markets catering to numerous smallholder farmers reach an equilibrium, while incorporating real world ... -
Effect of catalyst groove width on decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1947) -
The effect of cation substitutions on the physical properties of trioctahedra micas.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1971) -
