Benefits and incentives for ADS-B equipage in the National Airspace System
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Automatic Dependent Surveillance -- Broadcast (ADS-B) is a technology that can replace secondary surveillance radars and enhance cockpit situational awareness. It also has the potential to enable procedures not possible ... -
The benefits of 4WD drive for a high-performance FSAE electric racecar
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)This thesis explores the performance of Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) FSAE Electric racecars with regards to acceleration and regenerative braking. The benefits of a 4WD architecture are presented along ... -
Benefits of battery-uItracapacitor hybrid energy storage systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis explores the benefits of battery and battery-ultracapacitor hybrid energy storage systems (ESSs) in pulsed-load applications. It investigates and quantifies the benefits of the hybrid ESS over its battery-only ... -
Benefits of branches in sparsely connected networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-02)Artificial neural networks are most commonly implemented in computer software; however, real time processing and energy efficiency demands require faster and lower power alternatives. Neuromorphic engineering promises speed ... -
Benefits of emerging transportation technologies : simulation analysis and policy issues
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This thesis explores the quantification of transportation technology benefits, through simultaneous consideration of technical and policy issues. Benefits are first defined and identified based on current literature and ... -
Benefits of opportunistic routing, implicit acknowledgments, and network coding on a linear broadcast network
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This thesis studies the benefits of using opportunistic routing, implicit acknowledgments, and network coding on a linear broadcast packet network. Nodes are arranged in a line, and the first node wishes to communicate ... -
Benefits of postponement for fashion products with forecast updates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis examines the benefit of postponement of fashion products by considering the overage cost of the intermediate product and the correlation between the demand for each end products produced from it. The benefit ... -

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The U.S. Coast Guard performs a diverse array of missions ensuring the maritime safety and security of America as well as the stewardship of her maritime resources. It efficiently and competently performs these missions ... -
Beneth corporate codes of conduct : what drives compliance in two Mexican garment factories
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis addresses the question: under what conditions do corporate codes of conduct work? To answer this question, I develop two case studies of subcontracting factories that are subject to a multinational company's ... -
Bergman kernel and stability of holomorphic vector bundles with sections
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)In this thesis, we introduce a notion of asymptotic stability for a holomorphic vector bundle with a global holomorphic section on a projective manifold. We prove that the special metric on the bundle studied by Bradlow ... -
Bernini Started It
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-02)Bernini’s altar at St. Peter’s Basilica is a sacred focal point and manifestation of divine power and glory - the Church at the height of its power and an authoritative flaunting of papal infallibility. The altar rests ... -
