Representing agent contracts with exceptions and business process description
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002) -
Representing and analyzing temporal complexity in children's story books
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In this thesis, the temporal complexity in children's stories is analyzed to better understand the development of children's perception of time. The temporal complexity increases both in greater deviations from a chronological ... -
Representing and manipulating spatial data in interoperable systems and its industrial applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Introduction: The amount of information available nowadays is staggering and increases exponentially. Making sense of this data has become increasingly difficult because of the two factors: · The sheer volume of data · The ... -
Representing and querying regression models in a relational database management system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Curve fitting is a widely employed, useful modeling tool in several financial, scientific, engineering and data mining applications, and in applications like sensor networks that need to tolerate missing or noisy data. ... -
Representing and reasoning about semantic conflicts in heterogeneous information systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Representing information flow and knowledge management in product design using the design structure matrix
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)The design of complicated products such as automobiles requires timely coordination of many departments in an organization in order to win the time-to-market competition globally. Ford approaches this challenge with the ... -
Representing Knowledge for Data-Driven Design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Data-driven models have proven to be a transformative alternative to rule-based methods of the past. A data-driven transformation of design is necessary to guide engineers through complexity to develop next-generation ... -
Representing liquid-vapor equilibria of Ternary systems using neural networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)We develop a method based on neural networks for efficiently interpolating equations of state (EOS) for liquid-vapor equilibria of ternary mixtures. We investigate the performance of neural networks both when experimental ... -
Representing musical knowledge
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Representing settlement for soft ground tunneling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Representing shapes as graphs : a feasible approach for the computer implementation of parametric visual calculating
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Computational design tools in architecture currently fall into two broad categories: Tools for representation and tools for generative design, including scripting. However, both categories address only relatively methodical ... -
Representing shapes for visual recongnition
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983) -
Representing systems through object-process methodology and axiomatic design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Object-Process Methodology and Axiomatic Design are presented as two fundamentally different methods for representing systems. Strengths of the two methods are discussed and synergies are identified. The methods are shown ... -
Representing troubleshooting information for a high-volume production line
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Representing Unstructured Environments for Robotic Manipulation: Toward Generalization, Dexterity and Robustness
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-09)We would like to have highly useful robot manipulators that can handle a diversity of objects/environments, perform challenging manipulation tasks while being sufficiently robust such that deployment at scale is feasible. ... -
Reproducibility and pseudo-determinism in log-space
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)A curious property of randomized log-space search algorithms is that their outputs are often longer than their workspace. This leads to the question: how can we reproduce the results of a randomized log space computation ... -
A reproducible and low-cost piezoelectric droplet generator
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis presents the design for a piezoelectric droplet generator capable of producing highly repeatable droplets ranging from 0.60 mm to 1.60 mm in diameter. The generator is low cost, simple to fabricate, and easily ... -
Reproducing pictures with non-reproducible colors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978) -
Reproductive traits of pioneer gastropod species colonizing deep-see hydrothermal vents after an eruption
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The colonization dynamics and life histories of pioneer species are vital components in understanding the early succession of nascent hydrothermal vents. The reproductive ecology of pioneer species at deep-sea hydrothermal ... -
Reprogramming alkaloid biosynthesis in Catharanthus roseus : synthetic biology in plants
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The medicinal plant Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) produces over 130 monoterpene indole alkaloid (MIA) natural products. Many of these compounds have pharmaceutical value, such as the anticancer agents vinblastine ...
