Advances in palladium-catalyzed carbon-nitrogen bond forming processes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Chapter 1. Microwave-assisted, palladium-catalyzed C-N bond-forming reactions with aryl/heteroaryl nonaflates/halides and amines using the soluble amine bases DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene) or MTBD (7-methyl-1, ... -
Aerodynamic optimization of a solar powered race vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Aerodynamic optimization was performed on Tesseract, the MIT Solar Electric Vehicle Team's 2003-2005 solar car using Wind Tunnel 8 at Jacobs/Sverdrup Drivability Test Facility in Allen Park, MI. These tests include angle ... -
AFDC in Massachusetts.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1973) -
The affects of warfare upon trade : economic growth in a war-torn world, Northern Europe 1000-1700 by Vincent John Kindfuller.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Theories abound to describe how and why Europe was able to become the economic hegemon of the world between the 18th and 20th centuries. One of these theories is the competition argument, which argues that competition ... -
After treatment and turbocharger effects on emissions of a diesel engine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)An experimental study on the effects of after treatments and a turbocharger on emissions of a single cylinder diesel engine. The study measured the concentration of CO, CO2, HC, NO, NO2, and NOx. Tests on the engine were ... -
Aging of polymeric composites : a literature review
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Due to their increased use in today's society, an extensive survey was undertaken in this report to condense what's been, thus far, discovered as to the effects of aging on polymeric composites. Special emphasis was placed ... -
Aids for the design, acquisition, and use of large speech databases
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986) -
Air quality applications of extreme value theory : return levels of extreme ozone events in Chicago and surrounding areas
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)To quantify the effects of the NO, SIP call in urban and rural locales, surface ozone data from the Air Quality System is analyzed. Methods from extreme value theory are applied to calculate and compare 20-year return ... -
An air-levitated festooning system for the human mobility laboratory.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977) -
Aircraft interior acoustic noise control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)An experimental study was perfonned to determine which materials are best suited for internal aircraft noise reduction. An impedance tube with dimensions of a scaled aircraft was constructed and evaluated, and eleven ... -
Alcator C-Mod soft X-ray pulse height analysis system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)A pulse height analysis (PHA) system has been installed on the Alcator C-Mod magnetic confinement fusion experiment. The PHA utilizes a Si(Li) detector to measure soft X-rays in the 1-30 keV range with an energy resolution ... -
Alfvén wing electric fields generated by a conducting object moving through a magnetized plasma
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985) -
The algebra of spinors and its applications to quantum mechanics.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978) -
An algorithm for incremental anti-aliased lines and curves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988) -
An algorithm for rapid measurement of aberrations in pairs of out-of-focus images
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In this thesis, I present a new technique for measuring the optical aberrations produced by a telescope, with an eye towards future use of these aberration measurements to align wide-field telescopes. This method determines ... -
An algorithm for rate allocation in a packet-switching network with feedback
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Algorithms for autonomous urban navigation with formal specifications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis addresses problems in planning and control of autonomous agents. The central theme of this work is that integration of "low-level control synthesis" and "high-level decision making" is essential to devise robust ... -
Alignment device for A/K prosthesis utilizing a thermoplastic adhesive
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987) -
All printed bistable reflective displays : printable electrophoretic ink and all printed metal-insulator-metal diodes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
All that is worth remembering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In the December of my Senior year, my old piano teacher died. Old not in the sense of age, because he was really quite young (in general, but specifically to die), but in the sense that I took lessons from him when I was ...
