Denitrification of anthropogenic nitrogen in groundwater : measurement and modeling using stable isotopic and mass balance approaches
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Denitrification is a microaerophilic, microbially-mediated process, by which nitrate is reduced to biologically-unavailable N2 gas; the reaction is generally coupled to the oxidation of organic carbon. We hypothesized that ...
Scalable and extensible infrastructures for distributing interoperable Geographic Information Services on the Internet
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
The explosive growth in Internet-powered services has fueled the quest for finding new killer Internet-based applications. This quest has often led to applications based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS), especially ...
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 ...
Trihalomethane formation in rural household water filtration systems in Haiti
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Evaluation of the environmental impacts and alternative technologies of deicing/anti-icing operations at airports
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Team interaction space effectiveness for globally dispersed teams : theory and case studies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Groups of geographically and/or organizationally dispersed members are increasingly being assembled to accomplish a wide range of organizational tasks using a combination of telecommunication and information technologies. ...
Modeling and detection of delaminations in laminated plates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
The main topic of this thesis is the analysis and detection of delaminations in plate-like structural systems, such as concrete walls, large diameter pipes, slabs and decks. The first three chapters deal primarily with the ...
Design and evaluation of a pneumatic caisson shaft alternative for a proposed subterranean library at MIT
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Project delivery of toll road sector in China : a study of applicable policies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Toward improved transit station access in pedestrian-unfriendly environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
The resurgence of rail transit in the United States has introduced transit stations into environments of dispersed development oriented primarily to automobile travel. In addition, alignments for new transit lines have ...
