Design trade studies and assessment for advanced quiet aircraft concepts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
(cont.) designed for 4,000nm range, 25,000 to 35,000ft cruise altitude, Mach 0.8 at cruise, and 10,000 to 14,000ft takeoff field length. By identifying the main high-level design drivers of an aircraft design, the mission ...
The corporate culture in a Japanese bank : study of the changing organizational world
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The environment surrounding companies is constantly changing. and that change forces companies into paradigm shifts. If a company cannot cope with change, it faces the distinct possibility of being be weeded out of the ...
An experimental study of unsteady separation in a two-dimensional flow
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
An experimental study of flow separation in an incompressible two-dimensional unsteady flow was undertaken with the aim of validating recently developed flow separation criteria, which are based on kinematic principles. ...
Inference in sensor networks : graphical models and particle methods
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Sensor networks have quickly risen in importance over the last several years to become an active field of research, full of difficult problems and applications. At the same time, graphical models have shown themselves to ...
The use of Bluetooth in Linux and location aware computing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The Bluetooth specification describes a robust and powerful technology for short-range wireless communication. Unfortunately, the specification is immense and complicated, presenting a formidable challenge for novice ...
An operator-customized wavelet-finite element approach for the adaptive solution of second-order partial differential equations on unstructured meshes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a widely popular method for the numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations (PDE), on multi-dimensional unstructured meshes. Lagrangian finite elements, which preserve C⁰ continuity ...
SMPL : a network architecture for collaborative distributed services
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
This thesis proposes a network architecture, called SMPL, for the design and development of collaboration-oriented, distributed applications over the Internet. The goal of SMPL is to enable the development of applications ...
Accessorizing with networks : the possibilities of building with computational textiles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
What is a conversation like between a handbag and a scarf? How can you mediate their conversation and when is your skirt allowed in on the discussion? As a woman is about to leave her house, her handbag may solicit the ...
Interaction harvesting for document retrieval
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Despite advances in search technology, few software systems have been developed which accurately categorize multimedia files. The most successful systems for searching images, sounds, or movies rely on keyword annotation ...
SoundBlocks and SoundScratch : tangible and virtual digital sound programming and manipulation for children
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Creative Digital sound manipulation is a powerful means of personal expression. However, it remains explored by only a small number of engineers, mathematicians, and avant-garde musicians and composers. Others find the ...
