The A+B+C+ Method : a technique for achieving optimum balance of three critical barriers to human error
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)After thirty years of commercial nuclear plant operation, the nuclear industry has achieved dramatic improvements in the safe and reliable operation of its electrical generating stations. Recent indications, however, are ... -

A-infinity algebras for Lagrangians via polyfold theory for Morse trees with holomorphic disks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)For a Lagrangian submanifold, we define a moduli space of trees of holomorphic disk maps with Morse flow lines as edges, and construct an ambient space around it which we call the quotient space of disk trees. We show that ... -
A-Posteriori bounds on linear functionals of coercive 2nd order PDEs using discontinuous Galerkin methods
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis, we extend current capabilities in producing error bounds on the exact linear functionals of linear partial differential equations in a number of ways. Unlike previous approaches, we base our method on the ... -

[a]sorted selection : improving building performance and diversity using a new form of interactive evolutionary algorithm
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)There have been numerous studies demonstrating the use of optimization in architecture, yet it has not been adopted in the field, especially in the early stages of design. As buildings become more complex, the use of ... -
Aadhaar & Blockchain : opportunities and challenges for India
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)In India, the inability to prove one's identity is one of the biggest barriers that prevents the poor from accessing benefits and subsidies. India is a country with 1.3 billion residents in over 640,000 villages. The Indian ... -
Ab initio investigations of solid electrolytes for lithium- and Sodium-ion batteries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Solid-state electrolytes have the potential to dramatically improve the safety and longevity of state-of-the-art battery technology by replacing the flammable organic electrolytes currently employed in Li-ion batteries. ... -
Ab initio modeling of complex aqueous and gaseous systems containing nitrogen
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Nitrogen chemistry is ubiquitous in everyday life, from biological processes at ambient conditions to atmospheric chemistry at low pressures and temperatures to high-temperature combustion. Understanding the chemical ... -
Ab initio prediction of thermodynamics in alkali metal-air batteries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Electric vehicles ("EVs") require high-energy-density batteries with reliable cyclability and rate capability. However, the current state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries only exhibit energy densities near ~150 Wh/kg, limiting ... -
Ab initio screening of lithium diffusion rates in transition metal oxide cathodes for lithium ion batteries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)A screening metric for diffusion limitations in lithium ion battery cathodes is derived using transition state theory and common materials properties. The metric relies on net activation barrier for lithium diffusion. ... -
Ab initio simulation and optimization of phonon drag effect for lower-temperature thermoelectric energy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)In recent years, extensive efforts have been devoted to searching for materials with high thermoelectric (TE) efficiency above room temperature for converting heat into electricity. These efforts have led to significant ... -
