(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The hydrology of a semiarid broadleaf forest in Dhofar (Oman) is investigated by performing a field experiment and a modeling study. Based on the results of the field experiment, the ecosystem in Dhofar is classified, for ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Extensive genetic diversity has been discovered in the microbial world, yet mechanisms that shape and maintain this diversity remain poorly understood. This thesis investigates to what extent populations of the ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The use of grid shell structures in architecture and structural engineering has risen in the past decade, yet fundamental research on the mechanics of such structures is lacking. Grid shells are long span structures comprised ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Widespread arsenic contamination of groundwater has become a major concern in Bangladesh since the water supply, particularly in rural areas, is heavily dependent on groundwater. However, relative to the extent of research ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) retrofit systems for reinforced concrete (RC) structures have been widely used in the past 10 years, and numerous studies on its short-term debonding behavior have been conducted extensively. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Sample disturbance has always been a particularly challenging topic in Geotechnical Engineering exercise. The effect and importance of disturbance on stress-strain history and undrained shear strength of soft clays are ...

The effects of temperature, crosslinking and pre-orientation on the surface work of glassy polymers (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1963)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)We elucidate the tensile failure mechanism of amorphous silica and the effects of water on the process, combining: (a) atomic force microscope (AFM) bending tests, (b) molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and (c) molecular ...
