Accerlated curing of concrete with microwave energy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
A nonlinear river meandering model and its incorporation in a landscape evolution model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
A topographic steering river meandering (TSRM) model based on continuity of a simplified flow field through bends is developed. The equilibrium coupling between helical flow and sediment transport, as in Ikeda [1989] ...
Reduced rank filtering in chaotic systems with application in geophysical sciences
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Recent technological advancements have enabled us to collect large volumes of geophysical noisy measurements that need to be combined with the model forecasts, which capture all of the known properties of the underlying ...
Agency and incentive contract in private investment of transport project : an exploration of fundamental relationships
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
This thesis codifies and relates critical incentive-design and financial-contracting issue to the unique principal-agent circumstances generated from private investment of transport infrastructure and provides a framework ...
Strategic indicators for characterization of water system infrastructure and management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Shifts in the US water industry are characteristic of the flux found across all infrastructure sectors. Economic, environmental, market, regulatory and systemic forces are pushing the industry toward a different future ...
Traffic engineering for hybrid optical and electronic switching networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Quality of Service (QoS) over the Internet is receiving increasing attention with growing need to support upcoming multimedia applications. Many of these applications including real-time video and audio traffic require a ...
Experimental study and analytical modelling of compressive fracture in brittle materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
Probabilistic Traveling Salesman Problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985)
Hillslope and climatic controls on hydrologic fluxes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
Effects of dynamic vegetation and topography on hydrological processes in semi-arid areas
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Ecosystems of dry climates represent a particularly interesting object for ecohydrological studies, as water is generally considered to be the key limiting resource. This work focuses on vegetation-water-energy dynamics ...
