An approach to the preliminary design of controlled structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
An approach to the sublime of death
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Death is an unknown and it is final. This makes it sublime. The sublime as an aesthetic category is experienced emotionally as the moral certitude of having embraced the absolute. In that sense, the nervous system is capable ... -
An approach to the technetium labelling of proteins
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984) -
An approach to the two dimensional irregular cutting stock problem.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1966) -
An approach to the use of neural network in the analysis of a class of flight vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
An approach to traffic management in a navigational channel
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
An approach towards the redevelopment of the downtown shopping district of Boston
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1958) -
Approaches for assessing the presence and impact of thyroid hormone disrupting chemicals in Delphinid cetaceans
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Cetacean blubber is a primary site for lipid storage, which the animal utilizes during periods of energetic stress. It is important to understand how the blubber responds to factors such as ontogeny, water temperature, ... -
Approaches for chatter reduction in deep cavity and intricate surface milling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)The goal of the project was to increase the metal removal rate or improve the surface quality of an intricate surface cut by a long overhang tool. The results of the metal cutting tests show that the surface quality of a ... -
Approaches for identifying consumer preferences for the design of technology products : a case study of residential solar panels
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis investigates ways to obtain consumer preferences for technology products to help designers identify the key attributes that contribute to a product's market success. A case study of residential solar PV panels ... -
Approaches for the total synthesis of miroestrol.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976) -
Approaches to airport site location through standard methodologies and applied decision analysis.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972) -
Approaches to carbohydrate-based chemical libraries : the evolution of glycotides
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Approaches to customer information for public transportation : application to the San Juan Metropolitan Area
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)This thesis considers inadequate customer information as a factor contributing to poor public transportation utilization. The goal is to identify what issues transit decision-makers should consider in identifying weaknesses ... -
Approaches to determining the three-dimensional structure and dynamics of bacterial chromosomes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The information in genomes is only partially contained in the linear sequence of their nucleotides. Their folding into dynamic three-dimensional structures creates spatial relationships between loci that likely play important ... -
Approaches to education market design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This thesis consists of essays about how to improve education markets through analyzing data generated by such markets. In chapter 1, I start with looking at how families decide which school to attend in a school choice ... -
Approaches to enhance driver situational assessment aids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Collision warning systems encounter a fundamental trade-off between providing the driver more time in which to respond and alerting the driver unnecessarily. The probability that a driver successfully avoids a hazard ... -
Approaches to incorporating robustness into airline scheduling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)The airline scheduling process used by major airlines today aims to develop optimal schedules which maximize revenue. However, these schedules are often far from "optimal" once deployed in the real world because they do ... -
Approaches to investigating antibiotic efficacy and discovery of treatment strategies against antibiotic tolerance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)While it is widely understood that antibiotic resistance is challenging the efficacy of our antibiotic therapies, there is a growing appreciation for the clinical importance of other ways that bacteria can survive antibiotic ... -
Approaches to mechanism design with boundedly rational agents
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This dissertation ties together three papers on mechanism design with boundedly rational agents. These papers explore theoretically whether, and to what extent, limitations on agents' ability to strategically misrepresent ...
