Scaling the Maternal and Neonatal Survival Initiatives (MANSI) program in low resource settings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) are very high in parts of rural India when compared to other developing and developed countries. To address these high rates the World Health Organization ... -
Skin perfusion photography
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-05)The separation of global and direct light components of a scene is highly useful for scene analysis, as each component offers different information about illumination-scene-detector interactions. Relying on ray optics, the ... -
Strategies for the introduction of alternative fuel vehicles in India
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Rapid growth in population and increase in disposable income has led to a robust increase in automotive sales in India. As in many parts of the world, the internal combustion engines are the dominant vehicle power train ... -
System model of small-scale gas-to-methanol conversion by engine reformers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)As global energy demands grow and environmental concerns over resource extraction methods intensify, high impact solutions are becoming increasingly essential. Venting and flaring of associated natural gas represents ... -
Toward accessible evaluation of the electrophysiology of human vision
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)As photoreceptors in our retinas capture discrete photons, that energy is converted into an electrochemical signal which shoots back through the optic nerve and into our visual cortex. We can sample that signal as it's ... -
Towards a transdisciplinary approach to rural electrification planning for universal access in India
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Around 30% of India's roughly 1.2 billion people lack access to electricity, largely in rural areas. National and state rural electrification efforts are predominantly focused on grid extension, but interest in off-grid ... -
Tracing public space : a participatory approach to transform public spaces in low-income communities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Rapid urban growth has challenged our traditional planning methods. It has been a driver for the increase of overcrowded informal settlements in major cities of the developing world, which shelter one third of the world ... -
Valorization of boiler ash in alkali activated material
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)For centuries the clay fired brick has been the most popular building material in India due to its local availability and low cost. Despite the growing demand for bricks, some negative environmental and social impacts ... -
The Williston time capsule
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)This project is a time capsule of the oil economy, created by entombing everyday objects made from and powered by petroleum into a landscape that spatially recreates the processes of drilling and fracking a contemporary ...
