Virus-driven evolution of marine Vibrio
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Microorganisms are the most numerous and diverse organisms on the planet and occupy virtually every known habitat. For these microbes, genotypic diversity is intimately linked to their ecology. As one of the main predators ...
Estimating train passenger load from automated data systems : application to London Underground
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
The purpose of this thesis is to assess the feasibility of identifying which trains individual passengers take to get from their origin to destination while travelling in a high frequency urban rail transportation system. ...
Hierarchical and size dependent mechanical properties of silica and silicon nanostructures inspired by diatom algae
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Biology implements fundamental principles that allow for attractive mechanical properties, as observed in biomineralized structures. For example, diatom algae contain nanoporous hierarchical silicified shells that provide ...
Autonomous planning and resource allocation in reconfigurable smart sensing networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Structural health monitoring (SHM) uses sensor data to quantitatively assess the integrity and performance of infrastructure, as a basis for extending the lifespan of aging systems. Wireless sensor networks promise to ...
On traffic disruptions : event detection from visual data and Bayesian congestion games
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Road traffic is often subject to random disturbances due to weather, incidents, or special events. Effectively detecting and disseminating information about disturbances is a key goal of modern, "smart" infrastructure. ...
