Performance evaluation of fault-tolerant systems using transient Markov models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985) -
Performance evaluation of innovative toggle brace damper for flexible structure seismic upgrade
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Amplifying the motion of viscous dampers has been recognized as an effective solution to mitigate structural response to wind and seismic excitation. Motion amplification devices are designed to amplify a small interstory ... -
Performance evaluation of spanning systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)The design of spanning systems is a common task that structural engineers perform, and beam theory is one of the first things taught in a mechanics course. This thesis studies a range of spanning systems, and evaluates ... -
Performance evaluation of transmit diversity techniques in the CDMA 2000 standard
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis evaluates the performance of two forward-link transmit diversity techniques in the CDMA2000 standard: Space-Time Spreading (STS) and Phase-Sweep Transmit Diversity (PSTD). For each technique, the evaluation ... -
Performance impact of ion sources in Inertial Electrostatic Confinement devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)In order to improve the performance of Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) based fusion devices, so as to improve their effectiveness as low cost, portable neutron sources, a novel use of ion sources is proposed as a ... -
Performance implications of corporate real estate strategic orientation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993)A central concept in strategic management is that congruence between organizational resources and environmental conditions is critical to performance. There are three basic types of organizational resources: human, monetary, ... -
Performance indicators to evaluate the effectiveness of structural reform of the Chicago public transportation system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis anticipates the need for structural change within public transportation systems and the need for clear goals and indicators relating to structural reform to provide real time course correction and periodic ... -

Performance limits for colloidal quantum dot and emerging thin-film solar cells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Emerging thin-film solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies can be made lightweight and flexible with simple manufacturing methods, allowing rapid scale-up and ubiquitous deployment of solar power. However, for most emerging ... -
Performance limits of axial turbomachine stages
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis assesses the limits of stage efficiency for axial compressor and turbine stages. A stage model is developed, consisting of a specified geometry and a surface velocity distribution with turbulent boundary layers. ... -
Performance limits of RF power CMOS
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Wireless and mobile communication systems have become ubiquitous in our daily life. The need for higher bandwidth and thus higher speed and data rates in wireless communications has prompted the exploration of millimeter-wave ... -
Performance limits of silicon solar cells due to structural defects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)To minimize the risk of catastrophic climate change, about ten terawatts of photovoltaics must be deployed in the next fifteen years. Reaching this target will require dramatic reductions in the cost and capital intensity ... -
Performance limits on chemical computation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)A class of novel computers uses solute concentrations of distinct chemical species as logic signals and diffusion for signal transport. I establish a bound on the speed, density, and error rate of such computers from first ... -
A performance measure of page mode dram as a second level cache in microprocessors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
Performance measurement and signaling in the humanitarian marketplace
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)This thesis considers ways in which humanitarian organizations can evaluate their performance internally, signal their performance to others, and what this might mean for the humanitarian relief community as a whole. Part ... -
Performance measurement for bond portfolios
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978) -
Performance measurement system design for supply chain organizations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis proposes a methodology to create an effective performance measurement system for an interconnected organization. The performance measurement system is composed of three components: a metrics set, a metrics ...
