The short run demand for employment.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1968) -
Short sea shipping : barriers, incentives and feasibility of truck ferry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Many problems plague the United States' transportation infrastructure: congestion, poor roadway conditions, obsolescence, and maintenance cost not the least among these. In recent years, the Department of Transportation, ... -
Short tandem repeat (STR) profile authentication via machine learning techniques
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Short tandem repeat (STR) DNA profiles have multiple uses in forensic analysis, kinship identification, and human biometrics. However, as biotechnology progresses, there is a growing concern that STR profiles can be created ... -
Short term price behavior on the commodities futures market,
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1974) -
Short wavelength laser gain studies in plasmas produced by a small ND:glass slab laser
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
A short-range forecasting and inventory strategy for new product launches
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Companies like Procter & Gamble that operate on a make-to-stock strategy use forecasts to drive their manufacturing, selling, and buying processes. Because forecasting future demand is not an exact science, inventory ... -
Short-run and long-run cost functions for primary aliuminum
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1962) -
Short-term precipitation nowcasting for composite radar rainfall fields
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Precipitation nowcasting at very short lead times is a difficult and important earth science goal. The implications of nowcasting extend into aviation, flood forecasting and other areas. Using correlation analysis for the ... -
Short-term rainfall prediction using a multifractal model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This study develops a method to predict multifractal measure of temporal rainfall intensity by using Kalman filter, and gives some examples of prediction for generated rainfall. The model for the rainfall generation proposed ... -
Short-term recall of sentences : conceptual representation or plausible reconstruction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
Short-term supply chain management in upstream natural gas systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Natural gas supply chain planning and optimization is important to ensure security and reliability of natural gas supply. However, it is challenging due to the distinctive features of natural gas supply chains. These ... -
Short-term traffic forecasting for a smart satellite communications system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Satellite communications systems are undergoing a modernization to efficient capacity allocation from a traditional "bent pipe" or static allocation. One challenge to address with a more precise usage of satellite resources ... -
Short-to-medium term dengue forecast in Singapore
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Dengue fever is currently the fastest spreading mosquito-borne disease in the world, and a substantial public health problem due to its geographic spread, intensity, and resulting economic impact. The disease is endemic ... -
The short-turn as a real time transit operating strategy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990) -
Shortest paths, Markov chains, matrix scaling and beyond : improved algorithms through the lens of continuous optimization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)In this thesis, we build connections between classic methods from convex optimization and the modern toolkit from the fast Laplacian solver literature, in order to make progress on a number of fundamental algorithmic ... -
Shorting opaque signals
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This study uses short interest data to show that quantitative equity investors devote more capital to firm-specific arbitrage strategies in stocks with more opaque earnings. There are also higher strategy returns in stocks ... -
Shortwave infrared imaging and its translation to clinically-relevant designs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Visualizing structures deep within biological tissue is a central challenge in biomedical imaging, with both preclinical implications and clinical relevance. Using shortwave infrared (SWIR) light enables imaging with high ... -
Should I stay or should i go? : residential mobility in ethnic enclaves in Lawrence, Massachusetts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Spatial assimilation theory presents a dilemma for community-based organizations (CBOs) in ethnic enclaves, especially those CBOs that assist enclavers--residents of ethnic enclaves-in building assets such as increased ... -
Should India open foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail : a case study using the Wal-Mart effect
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)As India grows, driven by its success in information technology and services, there is another revolution waiting to happen in the Retail sector dependent on whether the Government of India can unshackle the various ... -
Should we fertilize the oceans? : examining the science, economics and policy of the iron hypothesis & ocean fertilization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)John Martin's 'iron hypothesis' (Martin, 1990), and the subsequent ground-breaking IRONEX experiments (Martin 1994, Coale 1996) have stimulated wide spread speculation about the concept of fertilizing the oceans. It has ...
