HAPHAZARD REALITY
(2021-03-20)HAPHAZARD REALITY is a borrowed title from the autobiography of Hendrik Brugt Gerhard Casimir. Ideas discussed in this collection of amorphous thoughts were once paradoxes which may become paradigms (borrowed phrase from ... -
Harmonization of aviation user charges in the North Atlantic airspace
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The purpose of this thesis is to explore various harmonization scenarios for North Atlantic en route user charges. The current charging system involves eight countries, each with their own method for computing user charges. ... -
The Hawaii carbon dioxide ocean sequestration field experiment : a case study in public perceptions and institutional effectiveness
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)In December 1997, an international project agreement was signed in Kyoto for a collaborative study of the direct injection of carbon dioxide into the deep ocean. After a detailed international site selection process, the ... -

Headcut retreat resulting from plunge pool erosion in a 3D landscape evolution model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Headcut retreat produced by plunge pools is represented using existing concepts about this type of erosion. The model estimates retreat rates, given flow, height of the headcut, upstream slope and Manning's roughness, and ... -
Health and water quality monitoring of Pure Home Water's ceramic filter dissemination in the northern region of Ghana
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Pure Home Water (PHW) is a social enterprise that promotes and disseminates household drinking water technologies in the Northern Region of Ghana. Currently their main product is a pot-shaped Potters for Peace-type ceramic ... -
Healthcare and Medical IoT
(2017-04-06)Detection of analytes in the context of nano-diagnostics for preventive medicine and global public health may be within our grasp. But, it appears to be far removed from the reality of the world where 80% of the people ... -
Heating effects on magnetorheological dampers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Over the past decades, scientists and engineers have tried to develop and improve various devices and control systems in order to mitigate and prevent civil structures against external dynamic forces such as strong wind ... -
Hemispheric ceramic pot filter evaluation and quality assurance program in Northern Ghana
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Pure Home Water (PHW) is a non-profit based in Ghana that seeks to bring safe drinking water to those most in need in Northern Ghana through the production, sale, and distribution of ceramic pot filters (CPF) and other ... -
