L.A. Micro-Publics : expanding the seams of the transportation system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The global city is the privileged site of "repositioning ... citizenship in practice," where traditional notions of identity and citizenship are being radically reconstructed. This thesis examines contemporary Los Angeles ... -
La Casita -- housing designed for Latinos : two cases from Southern California
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)As the nation's fastest growing minority group, Latinos are expected to be the main engine of household growth over the next decade. This demographic trend is most apparent in Southern California. While much attention has ... -
Lab experiences for teaching undergraduate dynamics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This thesis describes several projects developed to teach undergraduate dynamics and controls. The materials were developed primarily for the class 2.003 Modeling Dynamics and Control I. These include (1) a set of ActivLab ... -
Labor and development in Latin America
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1956) -
Labor contracts, unemployment insurance, and efficiency
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983) -
Labor market adjustment to globalization, automation, and institutional reform
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)This thesis analyzes how national and local labor markets re equilibrate after shocks to labor market institutions (Chapter I), demand (II-III), and supply (IV). Chapter I analyzes Germany's 2005 Hartz IV reform, which ... -
Labor market effects of employment-based health insurance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993) -
Labor market rigidities and unemployment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Labor risk sharing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)In this paper we aim to test the extent of labor risk sharing exists in thai village economies. Specifically we test the null hypothesis of full risk sharing at the village level. We outline a simple planner's problem that ... -
Labor supply, taxation and unemployment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Laboratory analysis of restrenghtening on simulated faults
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Seismic data show that stress drop increases with the logarithm of earthquake recurrence interval (1-5 MPa per decade time). If stress drop is taken as a proxy for fault strength, then the data suggest that faults restrengthen ... -
Laboratory and field-based investigations of subsurface geochemical processes in seafloor hydrothermal systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This thesis presents the results of four discrete investigations into processes governing the organic and inorganic chemical composition of seafloor hydrothermal fluids in a variety of geologic settings. Though Chapters 2 ... -
Laboratory and Mechanistic Studies of Volatile Organic Carbon Oxidation Systems in the Atmosphere
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-02)Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) oxidize in the troposphere and significantly influence the formation of pollutants including ground-level ozone, CO2, and particulate matter (PM). Ozone and PM negatively impact human ... -
Laboratory evaluation of the constant rate of strain and constant head techniques for measurement of the hydraulic conductivity of fine grained soils
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis evaluates the constant rate of strain and constant head techniques for measurement of the hydraulic conductivity of fine grained soils. A laboratory program compares hydraulic conductivity measurements made ... -
Laboratory investigations of heterogeneous chemistry important to ozone depletion in the stratosphere
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Laboratory measurements and modeling of trace atmospheric species
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Trace species play a major role in many physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere. Improving our understanding of the impact of each species requires a combination of laboratory exper- imentation, field measurements, ... -
Laboratory measurements of deep water breaking waves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986) -
Laboratory study of the effect of sea walls on beach erosion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
The ladder divide : a look into leadership from both the individual contributor and manager perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)There is a common misconception that equates management to leadership. There is also a common school of thought that believes in order to lead one has to traverse the corporate ladder from individual contributor to the ... -
Lagrangian computations of radiating fire plumes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
