(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The need to address climate change has gained political momentum, and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a technology that is seen as being feasible for the mitigation of carbon dioxide emissions. However, there is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Every climate change policy issue is inherently limited by two questions: what are exactly the consequences of climate change for our lives? How much will it cost to deal with them? Almost twelve years after the parties ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This research demonstrates that sustainable development is a multidimensional concept that should be approached in a transdisciplinary manner. Its objective has been to synthesize and integrate disparate and currently ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Today, the design of business enterprises is much more art than science. The complex structure and behavior of enterprises makes it difficult to untangle cause and effect amidst its components and their relationships. In ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Development of new aerostructure designs frequently occurs through a complex process that is difficult to understand and control. Tight requirements for weight, cost, strength, and aerodynamic behavior create many ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Today, stakeholders expect organizations to be able to endure external shocks. Hence, the real potential of an avian flu pandemic has many corporations developing business continuity plans for the disruptions that a pandemic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Deregulation shaping the Electricity industry across the world is a systems challenge cutting across interdisciplinary fields of technology, economics, public policy, environment and sociology. Decision makers that shape ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Traffic congestion is becoming a serious problem. As a solution, advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) mitigate traffic congestion by providing real-time traffic information to travelers. ATIS includes various ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis aims to show that with proper resource management, cross-functional communication, and organizational structure manufacturing and supply chain organizations can minimize the adverse impacts of organizational ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Significant energy challenges today come from security of supply and environmental concerns. Those surpass the quest for economic efficiency that has been the primary objective until recent times. In an intensive fossil-fuel ...
-
Understanding the performance of broadband networks through the statistical analysis of speed tests (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In this thesis we performed the statistical analysis of a dataset containing raw data captured through user-initiated Internet speed tests. The NDT dataset represents the largest publicly available source of raw measurements ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This research focuses on improving the performance of spoken dialog systems (SDS) in the domain of assistive technology for people with disabilities. Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has compelling potential applications ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In order to strengthen the current non-proliferation regime it is necessary to guarantee high standards of security for the sites that use, store, produce, or reprocess special nuclear materials (SNM). The current surge ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The U.S. government doubled NIH appropriations between 1998 and 2003, aiming to significantly foster research activities in biomedicine. However, several indicators demonstrate not only that the impact of the budget increase ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The federal surface transportation program in the United States stands at a crossroads. Short on money and lacking vision, the program is in need of reevaluation and reform. This thesis attempts to illustrate the current ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In comparison with conventional and other conceived approaches, hopper spacecraft offer unique advantages in exploring Solar System objects beyond Earth. The present work began with a survey - based on documents from the ...
