Extended tension leg platform design for offshore wind turbine systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The rise of reliable wind energy application has become a primary alternative to conventional fossil fuel power plants in the United States and around the world. The feasibility of building large scale wind farms has become ... -
Extended transient transfection by repeated delivery of in vitro-transcribed RNA
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)An experimental study was performed to evaluate a novel method of controlling protein expression by repeatedly transfecting cells with in vitro-transcribed RNA. Transcripts encoding six factors, each known to play an ... -
An extended yield curve model for bond option pricing using a Jump/Garch-m forward rate process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
Extending a control system model for rate-based congestion control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Extending a formal specification & requirements language : a case study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001) -
Extending and automating a systems-theoretic hazard analysis for requirements generation and analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Systems Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) is a powerful new hazard analysis method designed to go beyond traditional safety techniques-such as Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)-that overlook important causes of accidents like ... -
Extending and characterizing quantum magic games
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The Mermin-Peres magic square game is a cooperative two-player nonlocal game in which shared quantum entanglement allows the players to win with certainty, while players limited to classical operations cannot do so, a ... -
Extending broadband past the urban fringe with wireless mesh : a strategic analysis with policy implications for Kenya's Universal Service Fund
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)As the competitive wholesale cost of bandwidth continues to plummet in Kenya, last-mile networks have become a bottleneck in the extension of affordable broadband outside major cities. In this work we explore the business ... -
Extending bubble-induced turbulence modeling applicability in CFD through incorporation of DNS understanding
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Precise knowledge and understanding of the multiphase flow distribution is essential for light water reactor design. Multiphase Computational Fluid Dynamics (M-CFD) modeling and simulation techniques provide three-dimensional ... -
Extending computational game theory--simultaneity, multiple agents, chance and metareasoning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
Extending CORE for real world appliances
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003) -
Extending expectation propagation for graphical models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Graphical models have been widely used in many applications, ranging from human behavior recognition to wireless signal detection. However, efficient inference and learning techniques for graphical models are needed to ... -
Extending frequency modulation spectroscopy : sensitive and selective high resolution laser absorption in the visible and ultraviolet
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Extending imaging depth of multiphoton microscopy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy has capability of deep tissue imaging with biological samples. However, because of the inhomogeneity of the refractive index in biological samples, the wavefront of the excitation ... -
Extending memory system semantics to accelerate irregular applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)Computer systems are increasingly bottlenecked by data movement, and rely on sophisticated memory hierarchies to address this issue. However, conventional memory systems suffer from poor performance on many irregular access ... -
Extending safety assessment methods for remotely piloted aircraft operations in the national airspace system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Remotely Piloted Aircraft operations are growing rapidly in the United States specifically for the Department of Defense to achieve training needs. To ensure the safety of the National Airspace System is maintained to a ... -
