The oedometer.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1969) -
Of airports and architecture : exercises in public form
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Airports as an architectural and urban typology typically lack physical and spatial integration with their urban context. Contrary to the city, airports have evolved into semi-autonomous spaces and products of political ... -
Of energy and the economy : theory and evidence for their functional relationship
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This paper offers a set of explicit functional relationships that link energy and the economy. Despite the reliance on energy permeating the whole economy, no such complete relationships had been presented before. How ... -
Of frames, scripts, and stories
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990) -
Of intent and action : implementing personality traits for storytelling through concept patterns
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Personality traits such as "kind," "aggressive," and "brave" are integral to storytelling because they impart succinct descriptors of character personalities. Authors apply traits to characters, readers infer characters' ... -
Of man and nature : drivers and barriers within Malaysia's carbon mitigation policy ecosystem
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Since 2000, Malaysia's GDP has risen by 264.4% and its population by 30.4%. The government has strongly pushed economic growth and development and aims to reach high-income status by 2020. At the same time, Malaysia has ... -
Of pigeons, and mud, and streets, and clouds
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Attending to nonhumans--the innumerable trees, rats, cows, copper, smog, clouds, bricks, oil, shade, doors, speed bumps, and others who must be omitted for the requisite brevity of an 'abstract'--orients the ecological ... -
Of squatters and schemes : considering city-level strategies for housing the poor in India
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This thesis examines two approaches to housing the urban poor in the city of Ahmedabad in the Indian state of Gujarat - the Slum Networking Project, an attempt to institutionalize slum upgrading at the city-level and the ... -
Off peak cooling using an ice storage system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)The electric utilities in the United States have entered a period of slow growth due to a combination of increased capital costs and a staggering rise in the costs for fuel. In addition to this, the rise in peak power ... -
Off the page : object-oriented representations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)The intention of this thesis is to investigate methods in which deficiencies in construction documents can be addressed through the application of digital technology. These deficiencies take two forms. The first form relates ... -
An off-lattice kinetic Monte Carlo method for the investigation of grain boundary kinetic processes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Kinetic Monte Carlo (Kc) methods have the potential to extend the accessible timescales of off-lattice atomistic simulations beyond the limits of molecular dynamics by making use of transition state theory and parallelization. ... -
Off-line calibration of Dynamic Traffic Assignment models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Advances in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have resulted in the deployment of surveillance systems that automatically collect and store extensive network-wide traffic data. Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) models ... -
Off-peak cooling using phase change material
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1979)The electric utilities in the United States are faced with continued rapid growth in electrical demand. The traditional response to growth in demand has been the expansion of generating capacity. However, economic, ... -
Off-resonance and detuned surface coils for B₁ inhomogeneity in 7-Tesla MRI
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)A problem with high-field MRI is the lack of B1 homogeneity, particularly signal cancellation in the outer parts of the head. Here we attempt to correct this by adding surface coils. To adjust the mutual coupling, we vary ... -
The office : an analysis of the evolution of a workplace
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982)Much of the historical discussion concerning the office building has operated at the level of image . In this reading architects, faced with specific program requirements and technical possibilities, adopt a language for ... -
An office building erected by a rail-way corporation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1892) -
An office building in Park Square
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1963) -
Office development linkage in San Francisco : exacting the social costs of growth
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
Office employment growth analysis in the Boston metropolitan area, focusing on differences among industries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Office expansion in Fort Point--a case study of adaptive reuse in an industrial district
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987)
