A Better Bus Map: How Good Transit Map Design Can Strengthen the MBTA’s Bus System
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Greater Boston is poised to radically reimagine its bus system in the coming years. With an ongoing network redesign by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) seeking to create a dense network of high frequency ... -
A Percolation Model for Boiling and Predicting CHF
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Boiling is a ubiquitous process in numerous applications, characterized by the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and critical heat flux (CHF). Exceeding CHF can result in catastrophic failure of a system, making it an important ... -
A Theoretical Exploration of the Growth and Stability of Alveolospheres
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)An alveolosphere is a type of stem cell derived lung organoid. They have a distinct “balloon-like” structure which resembles the alveoli in human lungs. In recent years, they have become increasingly popular as model systems ... -
Abdominal vacuum lift as an aid to diagnosing abdominal adhesions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The internal organs are designed to move freely and slide over one another during normal body movement. The abdominal organs, however, have a tendency to adhere to the abdominal cavity (peritoneum) and other abdominal ... -
The absorption of nitrogen dioxide in concentrated nitric acid
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1940) -
The absorption of sulfer dioxide in milk of lime
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1944) -
Absorption studies of metastable helium atoms.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1966) -
Accelerated clustering through locality-sensitive hashing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)We obtain improved running times for two algorithms for clustering data: the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm and Lloyd's algorithm. The EM algorithm is a heuristic for finding a mixture of k normal distributions ... -
An accelerated K[subscript ISCC] test for high-strength steels in hydrogen
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Accuracy control risk management for modular submarine hull construction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
An accurate analytical framework for computing fault-tolerance thresholds using the [[7,1,3]] quantum code
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In studies of the threshold for fault-tolerant quantum error-correction, it is generally assumed that the noise channel at all levels of error-correction is the depolarizing channel. The effects of this assumption on the ... -
Achieving quality of service guarantees on frame relay using weighted round-robin queueing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
An acoustic study of the Blake transmitter
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1891) -
Acquaintances and contacts of Franklin Roosevelt : the first 86 days of 1934
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960) -
Acquisition behavior for a HDD interpolative timing recovery system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Action scheduling in humanoid conversational agents
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)This paper presents an approach to action scheduling in lifelike humanoid agents. The action scheduler constitutes a module in the agent which links the mental processes to the physical actions of the agent. It receives ... -
An active audio attenuator
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976) -
Active deformation of the Shargyn Basin, a transpressional strike-slip intersection in western Mongolia
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Intraplate faulting in central Asia is a major component of the Indo-Eurasian collision. The kinematics and mechanisms of intraplate deformation are important in understanding broad active tectonic patterns, reconstructing ... -
Activity and kinematics of low mass stars
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)We present an analysis of the magnetic activity, photometry and kinematics of approximately 70000 M dwarfs from the Sloan digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7. This new analysis explores the spatial distribution of ... -
Ad-hoc models for two-photon detectors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)
