Using "teacher moments" as an online practice space for parent-teacher conference simulation in preservice teacher education
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
The aim of this thesis is to investigate and improve the suitability of Teacher Moments as an online practice space for parent-teacher conference simulation in preservice teacher education. We evaluate Teacher Moments by ...
Modelling the prospects and impacts of methanol use in transportation in China at computable general equilibrium
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
The use of methanol as a transportation fuel is not a new phenomenon. However, factors such as price fluctuations, resistance to widespread introduction by special interest groups, and governmental policies have stood in ...
Functional compression : theory and application
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
We consider the problem of functional compression. The objective is to separately compress possibly correlated discrete sources such that an arbitrary deterministic function of those sources can be computed given the ...
Distribution network use-of-system charges under high penetration of distributed energy resources
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Growing integration of distributed energy resources (DER) presents the electric power sector with the potential for signicant changes to technical operations, business models, and industry structure. New physical components, ...
Large-scale consensus clustering and data ownership considerations for medical applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
An intersection of events has led to a massive increase in the amount of medical data being collected from patients inside and outside the hospital. These events include the development of new sensors, the continuous ...
Tragedy of the routing table : an analysis of collective action amongst Internet network operators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
This thesis analyzes and discusses the effectiveness of social efforts to achieve collective action amongst Internet network operators in order to manage the growth of the Internet routing table. The size and rate of growth ...
The impact of distributed energy resources (DERs) in integrated gas-electricity energy systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Our gas and power energy systems are interconnected, which makes the decision to provide energy a non-trivial one for consumers and the system as a whole. The focus of this thesis is on the long-term planning of integrated ...
The economics of cryptographic trust : understanding certificate authorities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Certificate Authorities (CAs) play a crucial role in HTTPS, the mechanism that secures all of the web's most important communication; if it has a log-in page, it must use HTTPS. However, recent history is littered with ...
