(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 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)High-technology manufacturing companies often face rapid price decline and capacity constraints. Especially in the retail side of the business where the supply chain is much longer and revenue is sometimes not recognized ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)With the advent of the World Wide Web, the amount of digital information in the world has increased exponentially. The ability to organize this deluge of data, retrieve it, and combine it with other data would bring numerous ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis considers the problem of achieving better system performance through adaptive experiments. For the case of discrete design space, I propose an adaptive One-Factor-at-A-Time (OFAT) experimental design, study its ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The sixteen-bit well-known port number is often overlooked as a network identifier in Internet communications. Its purpose at the most fundamental level is only to demultiplex flows of traffic. Several unintended uses of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The significance of the service platform is increasing, while studies on this phenomenon remain scarce and insufficient. Most of the researches focus on products, market segmentation and how platform triggers innovation ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Environmental regulations are typically portrayed as an outside force stimulating development of environmental technologies in regulated industries. In reality, firms influence regulation by communicating their technological ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The anthrax mailings of 2001 increased public and government awareness to the threat of bio-terrorism. Particularly vulnerable to a bio-terrorist event are large indoor facilities such as convention centers, office buildings, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This work developed a simulation model that is intended to be used for strategic investment decisions by a company that operates in a wide range of activities in the agriculture business in Brazil. Mostly, it is a tool ...
