Pedestal structure and stability in high-performance plasmas on Alcator C-Mod
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)High-performance operation in tokamaks is characterized by the formation of a pedestal, a region of suppressed transport and steep gradients in density, temperature, and pressure near the plasma edge. The pedestal height ... -
Pedestrian detection and tracking for mobility on demand
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This paper presents a pedestrian detection and tracking system to be used aboard mobility on demand systems. Mobility on demand is a transportation paradigm in which a fleet of vehicles is shared among a community, with ... -
Pedestrian environment as an urban indicator : developing a GIS model for measuring pedestrian friendliness
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Recently, the pedestrian environment has been recognized as an important factor for sustainable urban development movements such as the New Urbanism (NU) movement and Transit Oriented Development (TOD). Consequently, many ... -
