Recent Submissions

  • Risks and decision making in development of new power plant projects 
    Kristinsdottir, Asbjorg (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    Power plant development projects are typically capital intensive and subject to a complex network of interconnected risks that impact development's performance. Failure to develop a power plant to meet performance constraints ...
  • Nanomechanical coupling of mechanomutable polyelectrolytes 
    Cranford, Steven W (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    Nanotechnology has advanced to the point where almost any molecular functional group can be introduced into a composite material system. However, emergent properties attained via the combination of arbitrary components - ...
  • Analytical and experimental studies of plant-flow interaction at multiple scales 
    Luhar, Mitul (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    Across scales ranging from individual blades to river reaches, the interaction between water flow and vegetation has important ecological and engineering implications. At the reach-scale, vegetation is often the largest ...
  • Seawater circulation in coastal aquifers : processes and impacts 
    Karam, Hanan Nadim (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    This thesis explores the subterranean domain of chemical cycling in coastal oceans abutting permeable aquifers, where transport through sediments is dominated by advection, rather than diffusion. We investigate the mechanisms ...
  • Automated security analysis of payment protocols 
    Huang, Enyang (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    Formal analyses have been used for payment protocol design and verification but, despite developments in semantics and expressiveness, previous literature has placed little emphasis on the automation aspects of the proof ...
