Rationalist causes of war : mechanisms, experiments, and East Asian wars
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)This dissertation specifies and tests rationalist mechanisms of war. Why would rational states fight each other despite their incentives for peaceful bargains that would avoid the costs of war? In the rationalist theory ... -
Rationality and the limits of cognitive science
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
Rationality without representation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This dissertation is about whether and how non-representational attitudes could play a role in our theories of rationality. In Chapter 1 ('Negation, expressivism, and intentionality') I argue that the best explanation for ... -
Rationalizable economic behavior and strategic choice
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982) -
Rationalization of bathroom service sub-systems in high-rise public housing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983)Because of the increasing demand for a large quantity of public housing in Taiwan, construction productivity has become an important issue. Among those building elements, the bathroom has been accused as presenting one of ... -
The rationalization of load factors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1932) -
A rationalized building system for low-income housing as a response to the issues of flexibility and participation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)This thesis will focus on the design of a building system intending to approach the problem of low-income housing provision in developing countries.Two concepts will be proposed as a base for the development of the building ... -
Rationalized structural systems for diverse applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)Industrialized building emerged as a consequence of the need for the economical and rapid provision of healthy and safe living environments. In both Europe and developing countries, concrete panel systems were gradually ... -
Rationalizing urban land utilization : guidelines for housing developments in greater Khartoum, Sudan
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986)The housing crisis in Greater Khartoum manifests itself in a very high demand for housing and a deficient supply mechanism. This unsatisfied demand is reflected in high rents and land prices, high occupancy rates, and ... -
RattleSnake : stochastic folding for chain programmable matter
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The vision of programmable matter is to create a blob of material that can transform itself into an arbitrary form. One promising approach for achieving programmable matter is to construct a chain of identical nodes that ... -
The Ravenscar-compliant hardware run-time (Ravenhart) kernel
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Real-time embedded systems are increasingly becoming the foundation of control systems in both the aerospace and automotive worlds. This class of systems has to meet three requirements: strict timing constraints on operational ... -
Raw fabric hardware implementation and characterization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The Raw architecture is scalable, improving performance not by pushing the limits of clock frequency, but by spreading computation across numerous simple, replicated tiles. The first Raw processors fabricated have 16 RISC ... -
Raw material inventory planning in a serial system with warehouse capacity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)The thesis explores inventory management principles in the context of a storage capacity constrained warehouse. Amgen Inc. is building a new manufacturing facility in Singapore. Due to internal raw material warehouse ... -
Raw material inventory strategy for make-to-order manufacturing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)What is the appropriate raw material inventory strategy for a make-to-order manufacturing company? As companies grow in size and the business environment changes over time, many companies adapt their operating policies to ... -
Raw Material Optimization to Bend the Biopharmaceutical Cost Curve
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)Raw materials sourced from sole third-party suppliers have been identified as one of the key risks to Amgen’s operation. This project aims to reduce raw material costs through sourcing alternative materials and optimizing ... -
A Raw processor interface to an 802.11b/g RF front end
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The Raw microprocessor is a tiled architecture processor designed by the Computer Architecture Group at MIT. Raw was designed in part to be extremely good at performing streaming-type algorithms such as those found in ... -
The raw router : gigabit routing on a general-purpose microprocessor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Conventionally, high-speed routers are built using custom hardware, typically dubbed as network processors. A prominent example of such a network processor is the Intel IXP1200. Such a network processor typically takes ... -
A ray model for predicting sound attenuation by double barriers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1979) -
A ray tracing investigation of light trapping due to grooves in solar cells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The biggest problem the world faces today is finding a renewable energy source as fossil fuel reserves being depleted, and the ongoing burning of fossil fuels is destroying environments all over the world. Solar energy is ... -
Rayleigh wave scattering across step discontinuities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)
