Identifying data center supply and demand
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This thesis documents new methods for gauging supply and demand of data center capacity and addresses issues surrounding potential threats to data center demand. This document is divided between a primer on the composition ... -
Identifying determinants of folding and activity for a protein of unknown structure
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
Identifying disruptive customers to nurture for long-term growth
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)A subset of customers in a service-company's portfolio, seem unattractive to serve. Such customers neither align with the core of the company's business nor do they represent a straight-forward investment opportunity that ... -
Identifying enterprise leverage points in Defense Acquisition Program performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Large, complex systems development programs in the Department of Defense are finding it more difficult to deliver desired capabilities to the end user on time and on budget than ever before. Evidence exists that almost all ... -
Identifying evolving multivariate dynamics in individual and cohort time series, with application to physiological control systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Physiological control systems involve multiple interacting variables operating in feedback loops that enhance an organism's ability to self-regulate and respond to internal and external disturbances. The resulting multivariate ... -
Identifying expression fingerprints using linguistic information
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis presents a technology to complement taxation-based policy proposals aimed at addressing the digital copyright problem. The approach presented facilitates identification of intellectual property using expression ... -
Identifying functional groups in microbial communities based on ecological patterns
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)Recent development in sequencing technologies has greatly advanced our understandings of structure and function of microbial communities in various ecosystems. In microbial communities, a metabolic function is often performed ... -
Identifying functionally distinct neuronal ensembles within the memory engram
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Memories in the brain are encoded by sparse ensembles of neurons within the memory engram. However, it remains unclear whether these neurons are functionally identical or can be divided into distinct subpopulations that ... -
Identifying genes that are required for the maintenance of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)We searched for genes that are potentially important for the maintenance of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC). PDAC is the 4th leading cause for cancer-related deaths and exhibits a 5-year survival rate of less than ... -
Identifying Heterogeneity in Decision-Making
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)Individuals often make different decisions when faced with the same problem. This variation arises naturally in decision-making processes due to differences in agent-specific factors, such as training, personal preference, ... -
Identifying interface-dominated behavior and cell configuration effects on the electrochemistry of calcium foil anodes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)Fundamental research and practical assembly of rechargeable calcium (Ca)-based batteries will benefit from the ability to use Ca metal anodes to provide a sufficient Ca²⁺ reservoir for full cell electrochemistry. When Ca ... -
Identifying internal best practices and propagating standard work
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Standard work is commonly used in manufacturing and assembly operations to minimize process variation by providing detailed instruction to operators. Internal best practices are processes within the firm that achieve a ... -
Identifying inventory excess and service risk in medical devices : a simulation approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Medical devices companies struggle to balance between inventory and service performance, as the products are non-interchangeable and inventory investment is expensive. To find the right level of inventory, we first used ... -
Identifying investors with sentiment-based investment strategies and predicting their trading
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)To the best of our knowledge, there are no algorithms that distinguish different types of investors or predict how investors react to market or non-market events. In this study, we develop a computational approach to ... -
Identifying lean practices for deriving software requirements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Lean principles focus on employing value added activities to reduce product development cycle time, increase quality, and reduce cost. Lean originated in the automotive industry and has since been centered in the manufacturing ... -
Identifying mode confusion potential in software design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
Identifying multiscale statistical models using the wavelet transform
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
Identifying Objects’ Inertial Parameters with Robotic Manipulation to Create Simulation-Ready Assets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Real2Sim is the problem of simulating objects and scenes via real world data, allowing a robot to imagine future interactions with its environment. However, many existing approaches either do not consider the dynamics of ... -
Identifying opportunities for flexible design of infrastructure : case studies of a space launch complex and LNG for Sardinia
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)This thesis presents an approach for the identification of opportunities to improve the value of new infrastructures through flexibility. This approach applies to the very early design phase of a new system, where architectural ... -
Identifying opportunities to reduce emergency service calls in hematology manufacturing using statistical methods
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The main goal of this project is to identify opportunities to improve the reliability of the DxHTM product line, an automated hematology instrument for analyzing patient blood samples. The product was developed by Beckman ...
