CoMo : a whiteboard that converses about code
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Software engineers routinely solve problems by brainstorming at whiteboards. Among other modes, they communicate with speech and sketch. Unfortunately, the whiteboard plays the role of a passive medium. It serves only as ... -
Compact and low-power computational 3D sensors for gestural input
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Mobile devices have evolved into powerful computing platforms. As computing capabilities grow and size shrinks, the most pronounced limitation with mobile devices is display size. With the adoption of touch as the de facto ... -
Compact high-g, efficient folding wing for a cannon-launched reconaissance vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
A compact high-intensity source of 14-MEV neutrons
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1955) -
Compact laser-driven electron acceleration, bunch compression and coherent nonlinear Thomson scattering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Coherent hard x-rays have many medical, commercial and academic research applications. To facilitate the design of a table-top coherent hard x-ray source, this thesis studies the linear acceleration of electrons by optical ... -
Compact modeling of circuits and devices in Verilog-A
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The compact model of a circuit or device is a system of linear and/or nonlinear differential equations that effectively models the behavior of the circuit or device. Compact modeling plays a critical role in circuit ... -
A compact moduli space for Cohen-Macaulay curves in projective space
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)We define a moduli functor parametrizing finite maps from a projective (locally) Cohen-Macaulay curve to a fixed projective space. The definition of the functor includes a number of technical conditions, but the most ... -
Compact neutron sources for zero knowledge warhead verification via epithermal neutron transmission analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)In anarchic international environments, verification methods improve the viability of arms control agreements and disarmament measures by allowing party states to escape the security dilemma. However, warhead verification ... -
Compact parametric models for efficient sequential decision making in high-dimensional, uncertain domains
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Within artificial intelligence and robotics there is considerable interest in how a single agent can autonomously make sequential decisions in large, high-dimensional, uncertain domains. This thesis presents decision-making ... -
Compact representations for fast nonrigid registration of medical images
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)We develop efficient techniques for the non-rigid registration of medical images by using representations that adapt to the anatomy found in such images. Images of anatomical structures typically have uniform intensity ... -
Compact tomographic X-ray phase-contrast imaging of breast cancer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Non-invasive imaging plays an important role throughout the clinical diagnosis and management process of breast cancer. Unfortunately, existing imaging methods lack the combination of spatial resolution and soft-tissue ... -
A compact transport and charge model for GaN-based high electron mobility transistors for RF applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are rapidly emerging as front-runners in high-power mm-wave circuit applications. For circuit design with current devices and to allow sensible future ... -
A compact windowing system for the Curl environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)Curl is a programming language for creating web content. It is capable of running under a Linux operating system using X windows for a graphics interface. There are applications of Curl which do not need such a large and ... -
CompactCities : analyzing the urban spatial structure in cities with growth restrictions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A compact city form is one that espouses high intensity development within a restrictive geographic area. Its perceived benefits include (a) saving agricultural land (b) inducing shorter commute trips, thus less consumption ... -
Compactified Jacobians of integral curves with double points
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Compactness results for pseudo-holomorphic curves in symplectic cobordisms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
Companding techniques for high dynamic range audio CODEC receiver path
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In this thesis, an audio CODEC receiver path has been modified by the addition of companding techniques. Companding compresses the input signal and expands the output signal according to the input power strength such that ... -
Comparative analyses of aryl hydrocarbon receptor structure, function, and evolution in marine mammals
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Marine mammals possess high body burdens of persistent organic pollutants, including PCBs and dioxin-like compounds (DLC). Chronic environmental or dietary exposure to these chemicals can disrupt the function of reproductive ... -
A comparative analysis of age-dependent and birth year cohort-specific cancer mortality data between Japan and the United States
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
A comparative analysis of alliances in the enterprise storage market
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Alliances have been increasingly used in many industries as a way of obtaining competitive advantage. The enterprise storage marketplace is one in which alliances have been frequently used by many big players. In this ...
