Edge stabilized ribbon growth : a new method for the manufacture of photovoltaic substrates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983) -
Edge transport barrier studies on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Edge transport barriers (ETBs) in tokamak plasmas accompany transitions from low confinement (L-mode) to high confinement (H-mode) and exhibit large density and temperature gradients in a narrow pedestal region near the ... -
Edge tunneling and transport in non-abelian fractional quantum Hall systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Several aspects of tunneling at the edge of a fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state are studied. Most examples are given for the non- abelian filling fraction ? = 5 2 Moore-Read Pfaffian state. For tunneling between opposite ... -
Edge-defined film-fed growth of single-crystal piezoelectrics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Many transducer technologies would benefit tremendously from the development of shaped, oriented single-crystals, of a high-strain, piezoelectric material. Recently, unusually high electrostrictive and piezoelectric actuation ... -
Edge-lit holographic stereograms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
Edge-unfolding almost-flat convex polyhedral terrains
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)In this thesis we consider the centuries-old question of edge-unfolding convex polyhedra, focusing specifically on edge-unfoldability of convex polyhedral terrain which are "almost at" in that they have very small height. ... -
Edgelit holography : extending size and color
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)This thesis provides details of research undertaken to determine practical methods of increasing the size and color capabilities of the edgelit hologram. Primary emphasis lies in the application of the edgelit hologram for ... -
Edges and linearization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis is concerned with how grammar determines the phonological consequence of syntactic dislocation. It centers on a hypothesis regarding the linearization of movement chains - the Edge Condition on Copy Deletion, ... -
Edgeways : the design of mediating zones along public paths
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)Our society places greater value on individualism and privacy than on sharing and public use of space. This attitude is apparent in the form of our physical environment. Given the need for spontaneous, informal bonds of ... -
Edgeworth price cycles in retail gasoline markets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)In this dissertation, I present three essays that are motivated by the interesting and dynamic price-setting behavior of firms in Canadian retail gasoline markets. In the first essay, I examine behavior at the market level ... -
Edible photonic crystals tunable within the visible regime
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)An experimental study was performed to design and fabricate an edible photonic crystal made of alternating layers of food grade titanium dioxide and agar that is able to selectively reflect wavelengths of light within the ... -
Edited trajectories
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In every art and every discovery, experience has always preceded precepts. In the course of time, a method has been assigned to the practice of invention. Carlo Goldoni Edited Trajectories is an exploration into the ... -
Editing Conditional Radiance Fields
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)A neural radiance field (NeRF) is a scene model supporting high-quality view synthesis, optimized per scene. In this thesis, we explore enabling user editing of a category-level NeRF – also known as a conditional radiance ... -
Editing reality made easy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)The Reality Editor is a system based around the concept that physical objects may serve augmented reality web interfaces while communicating information about their state to the local environment. Its combination of an ... -
EDTA-enhanced metal contaminant removal from soils by electric fields
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Edu - Plant : new interdisciplinary education space for teenagers in South Korea
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Edu-Plant is about the next education typology for teenagers from elementary school to high school in Seoul, South Korea, by criticizing the dominant existing two poles - public school and private institution. In 201, ... -
EduCase : an automated lecture video recording, post-processing, and viewing system that utilizes multimodal inputs to provide a dynamic student experience
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)This thesis describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of EduCase: an inexpensive automated lecture video recording, post-processing, and viewing system. The EduCase recording system consists of three devices, ... -
Educating engineers for the 21st century : a framework for skill development through co-curricular and extracurricular involvement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)As the global marketplace becomes increasingly interconnected and multidisciplinary, graduates of undergraduate engineering programs face new challenges in communication, creative thinking, and teamwork as they enter the ... -
Educating high school students about their urban environment.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975) -
Education and health care in developing countries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis is a collection of three essays on education and health in developing countries. Chapter 1 shows that increasing perceived returns to education strengthens incentives for schooling when agents underestimate the ...
