Evaluation of outbound operations improvement projects for distribution centers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Improving the operations within a distribution center by reducing waste can result in significant cost savings. One area with a large potential for improvement is outbound order packaging. With a limited number of box sizes ... -
Evaluation of partial melting models of the origin of some Australian basalts : trace element evidence.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975) -
Evaluation of phase change material thermal control architectures for a WaferSatellite using integrated design and optimization techniques
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Small satellites such as CubeSats are changing the satellite industry by offering low-cost access to space. The concept of WaferSat - a satellite consisting of only a single silicon wafer - seeks to take this paradigm one ... -
Evaluation of phase change materials for reconfigurable interconnects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The possible use of programmable integrated circuit interconnect vias using an indirectly heated phase change material is evaluated. Process development and materials investigations are examined. Devices capable of multiple ... -
Evaluation of polyelectrolyte multilayer thin-film coated microneedle arrays for transcutaneous vaccine delivery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The skin is an ideal organ for the safe and convenient delivery of vaccines, small molecules, and other biologics. Members of the Irvine and Hammond groups have developed a polyelectrolyte multilayer thin film-coated ... -
Evaluation of possibilities of urban aided self-help housing for Indonesia
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1958) -
Evaluation of postponement in the Drug Product supply chain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)This thesis evaluates the use of postponement in the Drug Product (DP) supply chain at Amgen, which is characterized by highly variable production lead times. The motivation for the use of postponement in the DP supply ... -
Evaluation of potential applications for templated arrays of heterostructural semiconductor nanowires as light emitting devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)While light emitting devices, such as laser diodes (LDs) and light emitting diodes (LEDs), were first introduced decades ago, they have been the subject of continuing research and improvements due to their relatively poor ... -
Evaluation of power generation system architectures for manned Mars missions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)This work applies a systems approach to architectural definition, development and selection of power generating concepts capable of supporting a 20 crewmember Mars mission by the year 2040. The thesis confirms that current ... -
Evaluation of pre-packaged agricultural drip irrigation kits
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The purpose of this thesis is to conduct user testing and performance evaluation of two different agricultural pre-packaged drip irrigation kit (PDIK) systems: Chapin Bucket Kit and International Design Enterprises (IDE) ... -
Evaluation of predictive computational modelling in biologic formulation development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Computational modelling has completely redefined the experimentation process in many industries, allowing large sets of design concepts to be tested quickly and cheaply very early in the innovation process. Harnessing the ... -
Evaluation of present and emerging MSW landfill technology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001) -
Evaluation of primary flight display enhancements for improving general aviation safety
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The information architecture of general aviation cockpits is shifting from one of independent mechanical instruments to one of digital sensors, common databuses, and liquid crystal displays. This integrated architecture ... -
Evaluation of probabilistic underspecification as a method for incorporating uncertainty into comparative life cycle assessments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Life cycle assessments are quickly becoming a crucial method through which the environmental impacts of products or processes are evaluated. A concern with current practice, however, is that the use of deterministic values ... -
Evaluation of process systems operating envelopes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)This thesis addresses the problem of worst-case steady-state design of process systems under uncertainty, also known as robust design. Designing for the worst case is of great importance when considering systems for ... -
Evaluation of propulsor aerodynamic performance for powered aircraft wind tunnel experiments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)This thesis describes a methodology to convert electrical power measurements to propulsor mechanical ow power for a 1:11-scale, powered wind tunnel model of an advanced civil aircraft utilizing boundary layer ingestion ... -
Evaluation of QUIC on web page performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This work presents the first study of a new protocol, QUIC, on Web page performance. Our experiments test the HTTP/1.1, SPDY, and QUIC multiplexing protocols on the Alexa U.S. Top 500 websites, across 100+ network ... -
