Privatizing infrastructure : from theory to practice, the Colombian toll road case
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Privatizing the Saudi electricity sector
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Electricity demand in Saudi Arabia has been growing rapidly with an average peak demand growth rate of 6% over the past decade. Currently, the structure of the electricity industry is based on a monopoly framework dominated ... -
Privilege-Separating Embedded Applications using Web Assembly in the Plat FIDO2 Security Key
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Plat is a FIDO2 security key that uses privilege separation to protect the application’s private keys even if bugs are present in bug-prone parts of its codebase. Plat’s design encapsulates drivers and parsers in sandboxes ... -
The Prize Collecting Steiner Tree problem
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
PRMT5 Inhibitors in Merkel Cell Carcinoma
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-09)Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) is a rare neuroendocrineskin cancer. Treatment options are limited, and they are largely based on MCC’s similarity to other cancers, rather than original research. Many of these treatments have ... -
Pro-forma for city form
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis aims to examine impact of financial decisions on the city morphology, specifically on the current crop of new city projects undertaken in India. While there has been some existing research on impact of capital ... -
Proactive mobile wireless networks : an infrastructureless wireless network architecture for delay-sensitive applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Infrastructureless wireless networks are an important class of wireless networks that is best suited for scenarios where there is temporary and localized telecommunication demand. Such networks consist of wireless devices ... -
Proactive reduction of returns : management and metrics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Management of reverse logistics is becoming an important research area. Within this body of research, very little work has been done on proactively reducing returns. The current writing on returns management is almost ... -
Proactive secret sharing and public key cryptosystems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Proactive techniques for correct and predictable Internet routing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The Internet is composed of thousands of autonomous, competing networks that exchange reachability information using an interdomain routing protocol. Network operators must continually reconfigure the routing protocols to ... -
Probabalistic quantification of intermittently unstable dynamical systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)In this work we consider dynamical systems that are subjected to intermittent instabilities. The presence of intermittent instabilities can be identified by large amplitude spikes in the time series of the system or ... -
Probabilistic accident analysis of the Pebble Bed modular Reactor for use with risk informed regulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)One of the major challenges to the successful deployment of new nuclear plants in the United States is the regulatory process, which is largely based on water-reactor technology. While ongoing and expected efforts to license ... -
Probabilistic aerothermal design of compressor airfoils
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Despite the generally accepted notion that geometric variability is undesirable in turbomachinery airfoils, little is known in detail about its impact on aerothermal compressor performance. In this work, statistical and ... -
Probabilistic aerothermal design of gas turbine combustors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This thesis presents a probability-based framework for assessing the impact of manufacturing variability on combustor liner durability. Simplified models are used to link combustor liner life, liner temperature variability, ... -
Probabilistic analysis and design of dimensionally stable composite structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Probabilistic analysis of compression system stability using importance sampling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The probability of instability is computed via a new approach based on Importance Sampling and a dynamic compression system model. In contrast to ordinary Monte Carlo methods Importance Sampling offers reduced confidence ... -
Probabilistic analysis of divertor plate lifetime in tokamak reactors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Probabilistic analysis of ground-holding strategies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Probabilistic analysis of meanline compressor rotor performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis addresses variability in aerodynamic performance of a compressor rotor due to geometric variation. The performance of the rotor is computed using a meanline model that includes the effect of tip clearance ... -
Probabilistic analysis of route deviation bus lines
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982)
