System identification of dynamic closed-loop cardiovascular control of total peripheral resistance by arterial and cardiopulmonary baroreceptors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Prolonged exposure to microgravity in space flight missions (days) impairs the mechanisms responsible for defense of cardiac output (CO) and arterial blood pressure (Pa) against orthostatic stress during re-entry and in ... -
System identification of submarine hydrodynamic coefficients from simple full scale trials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
System identification of the vestibular ocular reflex via visual and vestibular co-stimulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The study of eye motions involved in the vestibular ocular reflex (VOR) is a key tool for understanding the performance of the vestibular system and for the diagnosis of dysfunction. Limitations in experimental equipment ... -
System identification techniques and modeling for nonintrusive load diagnostics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)This thesis addresses the requirements of a system that can detect on/off transients and identify physical parameters of loads connected to a power distribution network. The thesis emphasizes three areas; a transient ... -
A system impact analysis of government policies and regulations concerning demand response
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)A vision of distributed energy generation, storage, electric vehicles and a "smart-grid" has been the driving force of a number of regulations and policies to promote a steady evolution of the existing & future infrastructure ... -
System improvements in valve manufacturing cell at Waters Corporation

System interface challenges in combining mature technologies with rigid architectures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This thesis examines the integration of mature technologies with rigid architectures through concepts from Systems Architecture, Systems Engineering, and Project Management. The research focuses on a project with John Deere ... -
System level assessment of uncertainty in aviation environmental policy impact analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This thesis demonstrates the assessment of uncertainty of a simulation model at the system level, which takes into account the interaction between the modules that comprise the system. Results from this system level ... -
System level design enhancements for cost effective renewable power generation by reverse electrodialysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Studies of the future competitiveness of reverse electrodialysis (RED) with other energy technologies show that the projected levelized cost of electricity realized through current stack designs is prohibitively high. ... -
A system level design for object location and identification in unstructured environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
System level dispersion analysis examining program benefits to a low-thrust interplanetary CubeSat from autonomous guidance and navigation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Ground based measurements through the Deep Space Network (DSN) are unlikely to be available as often for CubeSats as for prior deep space programs because higher priority missions will take precedence for access to the ... -
System Level Optimization of Urban Air Mobility
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)The rise of interest in urban mobility, along with trends in vehicle electrification and autonomy have led to the development of electric vertical and takeoff landing aircraft to offer Urban Air Mobility (UAM) services. ... -
A system level study of new wake turbulence separation concepts and their impact on airport capacity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)The air transportation industry continues to grow worldwide, but demand is often limited by available airspace and airport capacity. This thesis focuses on evaluating new air traffic procedures: specifically, new and ... -
