(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Greenhouse gases are being emitted at an increasing rate, which may cause irreversible damage to the earth's climate. Considering the magnitude of CO₂ emissions from industrial facilities and power plants, carbon capture ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This research identifies and describes the impact of customer experience on the adoption of information technology products. The research findings are applied to the business case of a global technology firm entering into ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)An increasing awareness of the operational challenges created by intermittent generation of electricity from policy-mandated renewable resources, such as wind and solar, has led to increased scrutiny of the public policies ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This thesis analyzes pathways to directly use natural gas, as compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG), in the transportation sector. The thesis focuses on identifying opportunities to reduce market ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis aims to understand the role that organizational culture plays in creating secure and resilient supply chains. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the government's subsequent response, propelled ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Not-for-profit funding from wealthy individuals and their foundations is widely used to support science and engineering research within the university, but is not currently being used to fund the translation of those ideas ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Infrastructure systems are central to quality of life and economic competitiveness in nations worldwide, but daunting challenges stand in the way of providing systems capable of delivering needed infrastructure services. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Wind generation has been growing fast, with onshore wind having a 27% average annual growth rate over the past decade. Motivated by this growth, a comprehensive analysis of both the economic and engineering implications ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Synthetic biology is an emerging field, with a rapidly developing academic-industrial base and the promise of extensive product launches over the next few years. An intense debate over the risks and benefits of synthetic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)As companies become more global and begin to outsource manufacturing and other services, the uncertainty in the supply resource increases. Demand uncertainties increase as these same companies expand into new countries to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)With the growing demand for air transportation and the limited ability to increase capacity at some key points in the air transportation system, there are concerns that in the future the system will not scale to meet demand. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Many real, complex networks have been shown to be scale-free. Scale-free in networks mean that their degree distribution is independent of the network size, have short path lengths and are highly clustered. We identify the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Many of the nation's largest airports, including Los Angeles International Airport, the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Chicago O'Hare International Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport are ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen has critical implications for all life on earth. The Haber-Bosch process (1909) paved the way for the industrial fixation of NH3 from unreactive atmospheric dinitrogen, a phenomenon ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Large-scale, complex engineering systems, as for automotive manufacturing, often require significant capital investment and resources for systems configuration. Furthermore, these systems operate in environments that are ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Network security ensures the consistency, integrity, and reliability of telecommunications systems. Authorized network access prevents fraudulent communications and maintains the availability of the systems. However, limited ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Emergency Departments have been referred to as the "Safety Net" of our Healthcare system. This is because of their ability to catch all patients who would otherwise slip through the system, due to lack of funds, insurance, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Over the past several years, the world has been inundated with stories which, when connected, describe an informal and disorganized race by many nations to establish a leadership position in capturing the economic rewards ...
