Overview of Non-Fungible Tokens: Key Features, Opportunities, Challenges, and Business Use Cases
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) gradually move into public awareness before exploding into mainstream adoption at the beginning of 2021. Although the cryptocurrency market experienced a downturn in 2022, the total volume of NFT ... -
An overview of potential financial bubbles in the US financial markets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Financial bubbles have presented a challenge for the financial markets for a long time and caused steep losses for many investors. This thesis has two main goals relating to financial bubbles. The first is to try to determine ... -
An overview of progressive collapse in structural systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)It has become evident recently that abnormal loads need to be considered in the design of structures so that progressive collapse can be prevented. Building collapses such as the Ronan Point, Alfred P. Murrah, and World ... -
An overview of the volcano-tectonic hazards of Portland, Oregon, and an assessment of emergency preparedness
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Portland, Oregon, lies within an active tectonic margin, which puts the city at risk to hazards from earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The young Juan de Fuca microplate is subducting under North America, introducing not ... -
The owner building system, a case study and model of amateur homebuilding.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972) -
The owner's role in inter-firm collaboration for innovation development and implementation in building construction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Innovation, which is characterized as a significant improvement to an existing product, process, or system, often results in changes to several aspects of a project. Consequently, the development and implementation of an ... -

Oxidation of atmospheric organic carbon : interconnecting volatile organic compounds, intermediate-volatility organic compounds, and organic aerosol
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015).Organic molecules have many important roles in the atmosphere, acting as climate and biogeochemical forcers, and in some cases as toxic pollutants. The lifecycle of atmospheric organic carbon is extremely complex, with ... -
Oxidation of benzene in supercritical water : experimental measurements and development of an elementary reaction mechanism
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) typically refers to a waste treatment or remediation process and derives its effectiveness from the unique solvent properties of water above its critical point. When organic compounds ... -
