A decision model for investment alternatives in highway systems.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972) -
Decision Support and Systems Interoperability in Global Business Management
(International Journal of Electronic Business Management, 2007)Globalization of business and volatility of financial markets has catapulted ‘cycle-time’ as a key indicator of operational efficiency in business processes. Systems automation holds the promise to augment the ability of ... -
Decision support for disruption management on high frequency transit lines
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Incidents (due to equipment failures, passenger emergencies, infrastructure problems, human errors, etc.) routinely occur in metro systems. Such incidents can cause significant disruptions in service (from slowdown to full ... -
Decision support framework for oil spill response
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986) -
Decision support framework in adaptable tunneling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984) -
A decision support model for the investment planning of the reconstruction and rehabilitation of mature water distribution systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984) -
A decision theoretic approach to model selection for structural reliability
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976) -
The decision-making process in the design of residential structures
(MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub, 2015-03)Building codes and standards have been key drivers in shifting industry towards more energy efficiency, but it is important to take a more holistic approach toward GHG mitigation and evaluate the impact of design decisions ... -
Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and organic compounds in the presence of iron and iron oxides
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Most advanced oxidation processes use the hydroxyl radical (OH) to treat pollutants found in wastewater and contaminated aquifers because OH reacts with numerous compounds at near diffusion-limited rates. OH can be made ... -
Deep penetration into frictional ductile and brittle materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
Default and renegotiation : financial structure and incentive in public-private partnership contracts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This research explores the functional relationship between financial structure and agent's cost-reducing effort in the realm of public-private-partnership (PPP) contracting. I consider a canonical contracting problem where ... -
Definitions of robust structural geometries : metrics and form finding
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Robustness varies highly between applications and consequently it is difficult to precisely quantify. However, robustness is a property of a structural system and thus can be described as a function of its form; in other ... -
Deforestation--policies toward a more sustainable tropical timber industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993) -
Delamination in reinforced concrete retrofitted with fiber reinforced plastics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)The addition of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) laminates bonded to the tension face of concrete members is becoming an attractive solution to the rehabilitation and retrofit of damaged structural systems. Flexural strength ... -
Delivery of tren urbano stations as strategic urban nodes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
The Dell operating model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Dell, Inc. is well known for its dramatic and continually improving operational performance in terms of unit cost, inventory level, production capacity, and labor efficiency. However, in late 2002, several members of Dell's ... -
Demand driven dispatch and revenue management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The focus of this thesis is on the integration of and interplay between demand driven dispatch and revenue management in a competitive airline network environment. Demand driven dispatch is the reassignment of aircraft to ... -
Demand forecasting for aircraft engine aftermarket
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In 2006, Pratt and Whitney launched the Global Material Solutions business model aiming to supply spare parts to non-OEM engines with minimum 95% on-time delivery and fill-rate. Lacking essential technical knowledge of the ... -
Demand simulation for dynamic traffic assignment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Demographics of lytic viral infection of coastal ocean vibrio
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Viral predation on bacteria in the ocean liberates carbon from the particulate fraction, where it is accessible to higher trophic levels, and redirects it to the dissolved fraction, where it supports microbial growth. ...
