W boson cross sections and single spin asymmetries in polarized proton-proton collisions at [square root of] s =500 GeV at STAR
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Understanding the structure of the proton is an ongoing effort in the particle physics community. Existing in the region of nonperturbative QCD, the various models for proton structure must be informed and constrained by ... -
W cross section measurement in the electron channel in pp collisions at [the square root of sigma]= 7 TeV
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)From March until November 2010 the Compact Muon Solenoid 36 pb-1 of pp collisions at [the square root of sigma]= 7 TeV. One of the first precision Model that can be performed with this data is the measurement cross section ... -
W-SPSA : an Efficient Stochastic Approximation Algorithm for the off-line calibration of Dynamic Traffic Assignment models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)The off-line calibration is a crucial step for the successful application of Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) models in transportation planning and real time traffic management. While traditional approaches focus on the ... -
WaaZam! : supporting creative play at a distance in customized video environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis presents the design, implementation and evaluation of WaaZam, a telepresence system for families that supports social engagement through creative play in a unified video space. The goal of the project is to ... -
WACO: Learning workload-aware co-optimization of the format and schedule of a sparse tensor program
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)Leveraging the existence of the large number of zeros in sparse tensors offer a powerful way to solve complex problems efficiently in many applications. However, optimizing the performance of those applications poses a ... -
Waddle : a proven interpreter and test framework for a subset of the Go semantics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Goose is a tool for importing programs written in a subset of Go into Coq. Proving properties in Coq about a translated Go program implies that these properties hold for the original Go program, assuming that Goose is ... -
Wafer bonding : mechanics-based models and experiments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Direct wafer bonding has emerged as an important technology in the manufacture of silicon-on-insulator substrates (SOI), microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D IC's). While the ... -
Wafer bonding for monolithic integration of Si CMOS VLSI electronics with III-V optoelectronic devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)GaAs-on-silicon epitaxy techniques as well as wafer bonding GaAs to Si, have been developed to overcome lattice mismatch in order to integrate optoelectronic and Si devices. However, the thermal expansion differences between ... -
Wafer bonding of processed Si CMOS VLSI and GaAs for mixed technology integration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)The successful bonding of bare thinned Si SOI wafers to bare GaAs wafers in previous research has proven to be an important first step in achieving integration of Si electronics with GaAs optoelectronic devices. The thinning ... -
Wafer defect prediction with statistical machine learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In the semiconductor industry where the technology continues to grow in complexity while also striving to achieve lower manufacturing costs, it is becoming increasingly important to drive cost savings by screening out ... -
Wafer surface cleaning for silicon homoepitaxy with and without ECR hydrogen plasma exposure
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Wafer-scale integrated active silicon photonics for manipulation and conversion of light
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Silicon photonics is an emerging platform that promises to revolutionize integrated optics. This is expected to happen by inheriting the cost-effective, very large scale integration capabilities from complementary ... -
