  • Bioenergy and its use to mitigate the climate impact of aviation 
    Staples, Mark Douglas (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    The use of modern bioenergy presents an opportunity to mitigate CO2 emissions contributing to anthropogenic climate change by offsetting fossil fuel use, and the work presented in this thesis contributes to the literature ...
  • Locating the source of large scale outbreaks of foodborne disease 
    Horn, Abigail Lauren (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
    Foodborne illness outbreaks impose enormous health and economic burdens in the US. Identifying the origin of the contaminated food causing an outbreak is a challenging problem due to the complexity of the food supply and ...
  • Combining tradespace exploration with system dynamics to explore future space architectures 
    La Tour, Paul A. (Paul Alexis) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
    This work proposes a merger of Tradespace Exploration with System Dynamics modeling techniques in a complementary approach. It tests the value of this mixed method for modeling the multiplicity of inputs and complexity of ...
  • Modeling human attention and performance in automated environments with low task loading 
    Gao, Fei, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
    Automation has the benefit of reducing human operators' workload. By leveraging the power of computers and information technology, the work of human operators is becoming easier. However, when the workload is too low but ...
  • Accounting for non-hazardous industrial waste in the United States 
    Krones, Jonathan Seth (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
    This dissertation presents a method for estimating the tonnage and composition of non-hazardous industrial waste (NHIW) flows in the United States. For thirty years, it has been an accepted fact that NHIW is generated at ...
