Monte Carlo event reconstruction implemented with artificial neural networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)I implemented event reconstruction of a Monte Carlo simulation using neural networks. The OLYMPUS Collaboration is using a Monte Carlo simulation of the OLYMPUS particle detector to evaluate systematics and reconstruct ... -
Monte Carlo methods for lattice fields
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
Monte Carlo methods for parallel processing of diffusion equations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)A Monte Carlo algorithm for solving simple linear systems using a random walk is demonstrated and analyzed. The described algorithm solves for each element in the solution vector independently. Furthermore, it is demonstrated ... -
Monte Carlo simulation of neutron shielding for proton therapy facilities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)A study was performed to develop a Monte Carlo method of modeling neutron shielding of proton therapy facilities in a complex, realistic environment. The bulk neutron shielding of the Northeast Proton Therapy Center ... -
Monte Carlo simulation of the nuclear to quark matter deconfinement transition of three quark nucleons
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986) -
Monte Carlo study of pebble bed reactor fuel reactivity and isotopics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This thesis sets the groundwork for a numerical benchmark of the VSOP code suite, which has the potential of being an integral part of the design and licensing of future modular high temperature gas reactor designs. The ... -
Monte Carol simulation of the OLYMPUS experiment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The OLYMPUS experiment seeks to measure the ratio of the cross sections for e--p and e+-p scattering in order to determine the magnitude of two photon interactions in lepton nucleon scattering. Measuring this observable ... -
Mooring line damping in very large water depths
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Moratoria on development in Massachusetts.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975) -
A more comprehensive life cycle cost analysis of pavement materials alternatives
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is a commonly used tool in analyzing the economic viability of highway construction investments. The initial and life-cycle materials costs associated with highway construction involve a ... -
More than pulp : science fiction and the problem of literary value
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960) -
More than words : a biography of Daniel Francis Burns
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Daniel Francis Burns was born in Ireland in 1888 and immigrated to the United States in 1912. He married Mary O'Neill in 1923 and had a family of seven children. He worked as a police officer in the Boston Police Department ... -
Morpho : a self-deformable modular robot inspired by cellular structure
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In this paper, we present a modular robot design inspired by the creation of complex structures and functions in biology via deformation. Our design is based on the Tensegrity model of cellular structure, where active ... -
Motion tracking with computer vision
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In the Mechatronics laboratory, work is being done to develop methods for robot collision avoidance. A vital component of the project is motion detection and tracking. Currently, 3d-imaging software and hardware are employed, ... -
Motion-reversal in colloidal walkers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)In this research, the manipulation of colloidal systems composed of superparamagnetic particles in water is studied by a simulation method. In response to an external magnetic field, the dipoles drive the beads to self-assemble ... -
Motional state engineering for continuous-variable quantum computation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)The standard approach to quantum computation uses qubits, which are well-described as a two-level system. An alternative approach to quantum computation is continuous-variable quantum computation (CVQC), which uses physical ... -
Motions of a cylinder in waves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
Mouse models of osteoarthritis and joint injury
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Nearly 21 million Americans are affected by osteoarthritis, a complex disease characterized by degenerative lesions to the articular cartilage and subchondral bone in the joints. The complexity of the disease makes the use ... -
MUD, a networked, multi-user database service
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990) -
Multi-attribute decision making analysis with evolutionary programming applied to Large Scale Vehicle II
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)Ship and submarine design is a very complicated process that requires many trade-offs in design parameters in order to obtain the optimal vehicle effectiveness at the best cost. The number of potential designs is infinite, ...
