(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Solute transport models are essential tools for understanding and forecasting chemical concentrations in groundwater. Advection-dispersion based models can adequately predict spatial averages of conservative solute ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Recommender systems, also known as personalization systems, are a popular technique for reducing information overload and finding items that are of interest to the user. Increasingly, people are turning to these systems ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis, we present methods for using linguistically motivated information to enhance the performance of statistical machine translation (SMT). One of the advantages of the statistical approach to machine translation ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOCs) are a class of environmental contaminants responsible for numerous acute and chronic health effects in humans and wildlife. This thesis illustrates three applications of polyethylene ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which were a widely used group of chemicals before their manufacture was banned in 1979 in the United States, still contaminate numerous aquatic systems. Although there are ongoing efforts ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Soil moisture plays a major role in the global hydrologic cycle. Most importantly, soil moisture controls the partitioning of available energy at the land surface into latent and sensible heat fluxes. We investigate the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)One of the fundamental components of Earth system science is understanding coupled land-atmosphere processes. The land plays an especially important role in the climate system principally via the regulation of surface ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Irrigated agriculture is an essential component of global food production. In many regions of the world, and Asia in particular, groundwater is a major source of irrigation water. Over-pumping of groundwater aquifers has ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)The bioretention basin is a form of stormwater best management practice that originated in temperate regions and is becoming increasingly popular in tropical regions. Nevertheless, it is a poorly evaluated system in the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Coastal erosion and, more generally, evolution of the beach morphology are major coastal engineering problems. Changes in beach morphology mostly occur in the nearshore region, or surf zone. They are caused by the local ...
