The quadratic Zeeman effect in hydrogen
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1952) -
Qualification of miniature canned rotor pumps for PWR in-pile loop service
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990) -
Quantification of Aggregate Formation in Prochlorococcus
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Prochlorococcus, a unicellular cyanobacterium, is the smallest and the numerically dominant phytoplankton found in the oligotrophic ocean. Despite being one of the most important primary producers in the ocean, there are ... -
Quantification of extreme event statistics in ship design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Increased operational demands on Navy vessels extend time at sea and service life, making the accurate prediction of catastrophic failures increasingly challenging. The high value of these capital assets puts great pressure ... -
The quantification of workarounds and ways to utilize these ramifications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)User innovation is steadily becoming an irreplaceable factor in product development. Thus it is necessary to find ways to measure these workarounds and ways to utilize these figures. I selected three (3) particular styles ... -
Quantifying ballet technique through turn kinematics for injury assessment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The most common turns in ballet, pirouettes and fouettés require precise movement to match proper technique and prevent injury. Variation in knee angle of a dancer's supporting leg during pirouettes of 1-5 rotations was ... -
Quantifying coordination of human gait : fall risk and effects of aging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Falls have become an immense source of physical, social, and economic hardship among older adults. Compromised coordination, defined as a decrease in the ability to properly time the motion of body segments with one another, ... -
Quantifying measurement uncertainties of MIT Research Reactor's new digital nuclear safety system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Accurate measurement of reactor power is one of the most important requirements in order to ensure the reliable and safe operation of a nuclear reactor. The MIT research reactor, (MITR-II), currently has outdated analog ... -
Quantifying the fouling resistance of Accident-Tolerant Fuel (ATF) cladding coatings with force spectroscopy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)CRUD (Chalk River Unidentified Deposits) is buildup of metal oxides on the interior of nuclear reactors. This is caused by corrosion in reactor internals, leading to problems such as coolant contamination in porous deposits ... -
Quantifying the role of the electronics industry in managing conflict minerals using printers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)The electronics manufacturing industry has been experiencing a fast-changing landscape with recent legislations targeting the supply chains for the 3TG minerals: tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold mined from the Democratic ... -
Quantitative analysis of 200 meter track times
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Using male, varsity, division 3 collegiate track and field results from the past decade, critical coaching decisions such as optimizing meet scheduling, targeting efficient training programs to mimic, and identifying ... -
Quantitative analysis of intro-operative magnetic resonance images and tissue survival for laserthermia of 9L gliosarcoma
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
A quantitative methodology for mapping project costs to engineering decisions in naval ship design and procurement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Alternative methods for cost estimation are important in the early conceptual stages of a design when there is not enough detail to allow for a traditional quantity takeoff estimate to be performed. Much of the budgeting ... -
Quantitative phonetic and frequency domain characterization of vocal blend for sung vowels
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Choral performance focuses on achieving the illusion of many voices singing as one smooth, cohesive tone, known as vocal blending. Choral pedagogy includes instructions on how to blend, but there is little information in ... -
Quantitative prediction of high-speed erosion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
The quantitative risk of oil tanker groundings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
A quantitative study of some predetermined elemental time standard systems
