The evaluation of regional water balances using different hydrometeorological datasets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Design trends of tall building in Hong Kong
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Hong Kong, located at the southern tip of China, is well known as one of the important financial capitals in Asia. As a result, high demand of space is required. With improving building technology, buildings in Hong Kong ...
Short-term rainfall prediction using a multifractal model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
This study develops a method to predict multifractal measure of temporal rainfall intensity by using Kalman filter, and gives some examples of prediction for generated rainfall. The model for the rainfall generation proposed ...
Modeling airline passenger choice : passenger preference for schedule in the passenger origin-destination simulator (PODS)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
This thesis examines how to model the choice of individual travelers among various possible travel alternatives in the airline industry. A review of the models used to represent that choice situation in the Passenger ...
Evaluation of coordinated and local ramp metering algorithm using microscopic traffic simulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Ramp meters are special traffic signals at the end of a freeway on-ramp that regulate the flow of traffic onto the mainline. The main purpose of ramp meters is to keep the mainline of the freeway from becoming overly ...
Chemomechanics of calcium leaching of cement-based materials at different scales : the role of CH-dissolution and C-S-H degradation on strength and durability performance of materials and structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Calcium leaching is a durability threat for cement-based materials employed in critical infrastructures, such as Nuclear Waste Storage Systems. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the material and structural ...
Stochastic analysis of dense nonaqueous phase liquid dissolution in naturally heterogeneous subsurface systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Field-scale Dense Nonaqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) dissolution in three-dimensional heterogeneous subsurface systems is investigated using a stochastic approach that treats the variability of flow properties as three-dimensional ...
Uncertainty and sensitivity in regional earthquake loss estimation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Effects of detergent use on water quality in Kathmandu, Nepal
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
The impact of high-mix, low volume products in semiconductor manufacturing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
