The role of topography in the emergence of African savannas
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
The coexistence of trees and grasses in savannas are not well understood even though savannas occupy a wide area of West Africa. In this study, a hypothesis is proposed to investigate the question of how trees and grasses ...
Transit preferential treatment : a public policy-making perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Buses and in general at-grade public transportation remain the most important component of transit services in all the urban areas, whether they are feeder to a heavy rail system or an independent network. However, the ...
The application of "Decision Aids for Tunneling (DAT)" to the Sucheon tunnel in Korea
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
The Decision Aids for Tunneling (DAT) allow engineers to simulate tunnel construction considering uncertainties in geology and construction processes for a given tunnel project and to obtain, as a result, distributions of ...
Evaluation framework of construction alternative dispute resolution methods through an integrated model of real options, probabilistic analysis and system dynamics

Airline revenue management under alternative fare structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Airline revenue maximization consists of two main components: pricing and revenue management. Revenue management systems are used to control seat inventory given a forecasted demand to maximize revenues. Fare structures ...
