Strategic decision analysis for transportation systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
This thesis examines decision analysis methods of capital investment in transportation systems. The transportation system is a fundamental infrastructure, and requires strategic thinking in making decisions on its projects. ...
Capital project development in biotechnology industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
The biotechnology industry has experienced fast growth during the first 30 years of its existence but is now reaching a stage of maturity. Companies are being challenged by weak pipelines and patent expirations, as well ...
The effect of the packing density on the indentation hardness of cohesive-frictional porous materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Natural composites in general and sedimentary rocks in particular are highly heterogeneous materials which defy a straightforward implementation of the materials science paradigm of microstructure-properties-performance ...
Experimental investigation of tearing fracture in sheets under quasi-static loading
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Although there has been interest in the behavior of metal plates under blast and projectile loading for many years, definitive open-source analysis has only been recently forthcoming. This analysis is most often in the ...
Analytical methods to interpret ground deformations due to soft ground tunneling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Use of automatically collected data to improve transit line performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Singapore's public and private transport modes : an economic comparison and policy implications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Frequently, public decisions on transportation are based on cost benefit analyses that do not take into account the costs that private individuals are eventually led to spend in order to use these systems, even though these ...
Design for recycling : influencing product design using the Recyclability Index
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Economic modeling of urban pollution and climate policy interactions
