An object oriented approach to matrix analysis of structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002) -
Observability of Origin-Destination matrices for Dynamic Traffic Assignment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The estimation of dynamic Origin-Destination (O-D) matrices from aggregated sensor counts is one of the most important and well-researched problems in Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) systems. In practice, more often than ... -
Observational analysis of twentieth century summer climate over North America
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)How did the climate of the central United States change over the course of the twentieth century? In this study, multiple complementary statistical analyses were carried out on weather and agricultural production data in ... -
Observations and mechanistic modelling of the role of Aedes mosquitoes in dengue transmission in Singapore
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Dengue is the most prevalent human arboviral disease in the world with an estimate of 390 million cases per year. The disease is mainly transmitted by two mosquitoes: Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus. Despite the continuous ... -
Observations of a particle capture on a cylindrical collector : implications for particle accumulation and removal in aquatic systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Capture of suspended particles by cylindrical collectors is an important mechanism in many aquatic processes, such as larval settlement, suspension feeding, and vegetative filtration. The collector Reynolds number (Rec), ... -
Observing microbial processes at the microscale with In Situ technology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Although seawater appears uniform at scales that humans often interact with and sample, the world that marine microbes inhabit can be highly heterogeneous, with numerous biological and physical processes giving rise to ... -
An observing system simulation experiment for soil moisture measurements from the SMAP radiometer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite, to be launched in 2013, will use both radiometer and radar data to estimate soil moisture. Improved soil moisture knowledge has many applications in hydroclimatology, ... -
Ocean outfall modeling--interfacing near and far field models with particle tracking method
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
The oedometer.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1969) -
Off-line calibration of Dynamic Traffic Assignment models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Advances in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have resulted in the deployment of surveillance systems that automatically collect and store extensive network-wide traffic data. Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) models ... -
Offshoring is not the panacea : ensuring sustainable employment in the US manufacturing industry by leveraging demand proximity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This thesis investigates the theme of "manufacturing offshoring" that became a political issue during the 2004 U.S. presidential election. As during previous elections, employment became a key focus on the home front. ... -
Oil reservoir characterization using ensemble data assimilation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Increasing world energy demand combined with decreasing discoveries of new and accessible hydrocarbon reserves are necessitating optimal recovery from the world's current hydrocarbon resources. Advances in drilling and ... -
Older adult perceptions of transit security and their utilization of public transportation : ridership strategies for the elderly on Tren Urbano
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
On higher-order mixed-interpolated general shell finite elements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
On long nonlinear internal waves over bottom topography
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985) -
On projects, transportation projects and the Mendoza (Argentina)--Los Andes (Chile) transportation corridor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
On rainfall-induced landslides : a deterministic approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
On slowly varying Stokes waves.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1970) -
On the design of a kinetic adaptive structural surface with reference to nature, form and simplicity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The central thrust of this thesis is that there is much to learn from Nature. What surrounds us, and has been with us from the beginning of time, still has many insights to offer, if we are only willing to look. In Nature, ... -
On the determination of stochastic reservoir operating strategies incorporating short and long term information in real time.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977)
