Obtaining performance and programmability using reconfigurable hardware for media processing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)An imperative requirement in the design of a reconfigurable computing system or in the development of a new application on such a system is performance gains. However, such developments suffer from long-and-difficult ... -
OCA : a device interconnection platform for context-aware transformable environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)It is inevitable that personal architectural environments in the future will contain dozens, if not hundreds, of connected devices that will require human control. Currently, most interactions involve standalone devices, ... -
Occasions for design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976) -
Occultation astronomy and instrumentation : studies of the Uranian upper atmosphere
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
Occultation studies of Neptune
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984) -
Occupational change : automation and reskilling risks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)We derive a novel occupation-industry level panel of skill demands from the near-universe of tagged online job postings in the US for the last decade (2010-2018). We use this data to study how the skill demands of occupations ... -
Occupational invocation : managing experts through occupational norms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Using data from a 16-month ethnographic study of a pharmaceutical company research unit, I examine how managers can successfully manage expert contractors. These expert scientists perform essential work in advancing drug ... -
Occupational skill mismatch and the consequences to employment outcomes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)An increase in the stock of high skilled workers boosts labor productivity, though economic theory suggests some of the effect may be attenuated by skill mismatch. This research begins to identify and quantify the mechanisms ... -
The occurrence of the alkali metals in some modern sediments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1952) -
Ocean acoustic uncertainty for submarine applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The focus of this research is to study the uncertainties forecast by multi-resolution ocean models and quantify how those uncertainties affect the pressure fields estimated by coupled ocean models. The quantified uncertainty ... -
Ocean bottom seismic scattering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990) -
Ocean circulation and dynamics on the west Antarctic Peninsula continental shelf
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Observations of current velocity, temperature, salinity and pressure from a 2-year moored array deployment and four hydrographic cruises conducted by the United States Southern Ocean GLOBEC program on the western Antarctic ... -
Ocean fertilization : ecological cure or calamity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The late John Martin demonstrated the paramount importance of iron for microscopic plant growth in large areas of the world's oceans. Iron, he hypothesized, was the nutrient that limited green life in seawater. Over twenty ... -
Ocean outfall modeling--interfacing near and far field models with particle tracking method
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
The ocean's effect on hurricane intensity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Ocean, platform, and signal processing effects on synthetic aperture sonar performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
An ocean-atmosphere energy climate model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Oceanic Ambient Noise in the Arctic on the Chukchi Shelf: Broadband Characteristics and Environmental Drivers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-09)This thesis encompasses an analysis of underwater ambient noise collected by the yearlong Canada Basin Acoustic Propagation Experiment (CANAPE) on the Chukchi Shelf of the Arctic. This location contained the Beaufort Duct, ... -
Oceanic control of the sea ice edge and multiple equilibria in the climate system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)I study fundamental mechanisms of atmosphere-ocean-sea ice interaction. Hierarchies of idealized models are invoked to argue that multiple equilibria and abrupt change are robust features of the climate system. The main ... -
Oceanic fluxes of mass, heat, and freshwater : a global estimate and perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
