(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Uncertainty related to an adversary's tactics, techniques, and procedures is often difficult to characterize, particularly during the period immediately before a conflict, when planning for a face-to-face confrontation ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The demand for spectrum resources has increased in the past decade due to the flourishing wireless industry worldwide. This change requires Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) to establish a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Extravehicular Activity (EVA) spacesuits are a key enabling technology which allow astronauts to survive and work in the harsh environment of space. Of the entire spacesuit, the gloves may perhaps be considered the most ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)This thesis addresses problems of attribution that arise from the data integration that is exemplified by data re-use and re-distribution on the Web. We present two different perspectives. We begin with a simple definition ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This thesis will discuss a new approach to preventing the adulteration of prescription medicines in America. The primary thrust of the solution is based on research conducted at MIT's Auto-ID Center on radio frequency ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)In this paper, I examine the question of how the technology choices of automakers, responding to the regulatory obligations placed on them by policymakers, influence the trajectory of technology diffusion and the cost of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Since the early 2000's, the US Navy has endeavored to decrease the Total Ownership Cost (TOC) of their ships through a decrease in Operating and Support costs. This led to a large-scale effort by ship program managers to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Passenger car use is a major driver of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fossil fuel consumption in the United States. Vehicles continue to incorporate increasing levels of technology, these advances do not translate ...
