Ecohydrology of a seasonal cloud forest in Dhofar
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The hydrology of a semiarid broadleaf forest in Dhofar (Oman) is investigated by performing a field experiment and a modeling study. Based on the results of the field experiment, the ecosystem in Dhofar is classified, for ...
Optimizing the sequenced production schedule by managing the internal supply chain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Many manufacturing companies wrestle with managing in-house manufactured inventories especially in the climate of Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing and with constant pressure to reduce inventory levels. One popular self-managing ...

Novartis is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, with their research headquarters (Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research) located in Cambridge MA. In this thesis, I explore Novartis's process for ...
Carbon and electron flow via methanogenesis, So₄²⁻, NO₃⁻ and Fe³⁺ reduction in the anoxic hypolimnia of upper Mystic Lake
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The profiles of CH₄ and CO₂ obtained by the use of a novel sampler, along with the profiles for nitrate (NO₃⁻), sulfate (So₄³⁻)and iron (Fe²⁺) were used to estimate the rates of the various anaerobic decomposition reactions ...
Material invariant properties and reconstruction of microstructure of sandstones by nanoindentation and microporoelastic analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The diversity of sandstones and sandstone properties that exist in nature pose a significant problem for engineers who deal with these materials, whether in oil well exploration and exploitation or art and architectural ...
