Design of web services and mobile device applications for integrated health information system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Evaluating solar disinfection for point-of-use water treatment in non-tropical climates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Bus supervision deployment strategies for improved bus service reliability
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Bus service reliability has always been a top concern for transit agencies and their customers. Unfortunately, there are several factors detrimental to reliable bus service. Outside influences such as weather, traffic, and ...
The impact of high frequency/low energy seismic waves on unreinforced masonry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Traditionally, the high frequency components of earthquake loading are disregarded as a source of structural damage because of their small energy content and because their frequency is too high to resonate with the natural ...
Airline revenue management based on dynamic programming incorporating passenger sell-up behavior
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Low-fare carriers with simplified and unrestricted fare structures have rapidly grown and captured an important share of demand in the markets they enter, forcing legacy carriers to inevitably simplify their fare structures ...
Normalized mechanical properties of resedimented Gulf of Mexico clay from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition Leg 308
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
During Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition Leg 308, many Whole Core Samples were recovered from the Ursa Basin in the Gulf of Mexico. Post-cruise geotechnical testing found these samples to be highly disturbed ...
Frequency-based response of damped outrigger systems for tall buildings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
The outrigger structural system for tall buildings is known to be effective in reducing lateral drift under quasi-static wind loading. Although keeping lateral deflection below the required value is certainly important, ...
Understanding current environmental issues and their impact on ship design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
This thesis is intended to provide recommendations for ship owners and operators on how to prepare for new engine emissions regulations that will be progressively more stringent than current regulations. To provide these ...
The role of topography in the emergence of African savannas
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
The coexistence of trees and grasses in savannas are not well understood even though savannas occupy a wide area of West Africa. In this study, a hypothesis is proposed to investigate the question of how trees and grasses ...
The role of biosphere-atmosphere-ocean interactions in the climate of West Africa during the Middle Holocene
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
In previous studies, a zonally symmetric, synchronously coupled biosphere-atmosphere model (ZonaIBAM), which includes explicit representation of ecosystem dynamics, has been developed and validated based on current forcings ...
