I Come Home to Myself
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)I Come Home to Myself is a documentary film following Marglucy and Faduma, presenting a portrait of their individual relationships to beauty and beauty work. The documentary contrasts the varied experiences that have shaped ... -
I go to encounter for the millionth time : the role of revision in Joyce's exploration of identity by Erin M. Fitzgerald.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Introduction: James Joyce is perhaps the most talked about and least read major writer in the English language. Virtually every modernist class and every book or article on Joyce eventually reaches a point where the professor ... -
I remember Placement : participating in the Indian Student Placement program of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
I/O automaton based simulation of selected distributed algorithms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990) -
The Icarus Machine : a kinetic sculpture that demonstrates gyroscopic precision
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Inspired by the desire to unite aspects of art and engineering into a comprehensive whole, I have designed and manufactured a kinetic sculpture that demonstrates gyroscopic precession. The aim of this project is to explore ... -
Ice and abrasive particles : an alternative CMP polishing technique
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Ice and the apparent variation of GPS station positions for Alaska
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Most GPS stations in Alaska show apparent seasonal variations on the order of one centimeter. The majority of these stations move downwards throughout the winter, a motion which is in phase with regional snowfall and has ... -
Ice-rafted debris in the Southern Ocean : potential uses and limitations of ²³⁰Th-normalized fluxes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)We measured IRD fluxes from 22-5 ka BP in two sediment cores from the Scotia Sea using two different methods. The first, commonly used method, uses the linear sedimentation rate (LSR), dry bulk density, and weight percent ... -
Ideation in product design : case study of observed themes and patterns prevalent in the generation of design concepts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This study sought to determine whether there exist identifiable patterns for how ideas are generated using rapid prototyping and sketching tools during a talk-aloud protocol. Three designers' work, as they engaged in a ... -
Identification and evaluation of techniques for quality control of low-cost xylem filters
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)2.1 billion people worldwide, majority of whom are of the poorest income quintile, lack access to safe, readily available water in their homes. The need for affordable, decentralized methods of water filtration led to the ... -
Identification and resolution of problems with methodology used in selection of technological concepts for R&D support
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)How to better evaluate the merits of competing technological concepts. This project is concerned with evaluation of the merits of competing technological concepts and managing the R&D investments needed to bring them to ... -
The identification and validation of case hardening for extending charcoal briquette extruder lifespan
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Appropriate Energy Saving Technologies Ltd. (AEST) located in Soroti, Uganda aims to reduce deforestation and indoor air pollution through their sustainable charcoal briquettes. However, the charcoal mixture causes extreme ... -
Identification of ship hydrodynamic coefficients from simple trial maneuvers during regular ship operations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984) -
Identifying binary central stars of planetary nebulae with Kepler K2 campaign 11 photometric data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)A large majority of planetary nebulae (PNe) are non-spherical, and many have complex structures; these are unlikely to be created trivially by a single central star. The Binary Hypothesis proposes that the complex morphologies ... -
Identifying boosted objects with N-subjettiness and linear k-means clustering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In this thesis, I explore aspects of a new jet shape - N-subjettiness - designed to identify boosted hadronically-decaying objects (with a particular focus on tagging top quarks) at particle accelerators such as the Large ... -
Identifying multiscale statistical models using the wavelet transform
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
Identifying the optimal highway driving conditions for the integration of manned and autonomous vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)This thesis investigates the effect that the implementation of autonomous vehicles may have on the vehicle fleet through the design of a simulator in MATLAB that models human-driven and autonomous vehicles. The manned ... -
Identifying the requirements of an agricultural robot for sensing and adjusting soil nutrient and pH levels
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The nutrient requirements of soils using in agriculture for crop production were examined to determine the needs of a robotic system used to detect and regulate the nutrition levels of the soil. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and ... -
