Labor risk sharing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)In this paper we aim to test the extent of labor risk sharing exists in thai village economies. Specifically we test the null hypothesis of full risk sharing at the village level. We outline a simple planner's problem that ... -
Laboratory assignments for teaching introductory signal processing concepts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)This thesis proposes labs for a new, applications-based signal processing class. These labs span topics in audio, image, and video processing and will combine signal processing techniques with computational tools. The goal ... -
A laboratory building for research and development.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1965) -
Laboratory Characterization of Mars In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) using the Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment (MOXIE) FlatSat Testbed
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) is a payload onboard NASA’s Perseverance Rover demonstrating the production of oxygen through solid oxide electrolysis of carbon dioxide in the Martian ... -
Laboratory compaction of a silty clay to simulate field density curves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1956) -
Laboratory evaluation of the constant rate of strain and constant head techniques for measurement of the hydraulic conductivity of fine grained soils
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis evaluates the constant rate of strain and constant head techniques for measurement of the hydraulic conductivity of fine grained soils. A laboratory program compares hydraulic conductivity measurements made ... -
Laboratory experiments for a wireless communications course
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002) -
Laboratory Experiments of High-Energy-Density Shocks in Magnetized Supersonic Plasma Flows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-02)Magnetized shocks are of interest in many astrophysical environments, in which high Mach number flows interact with ambient media, planetary obstacles, and/or spacecraft to generate strongly radiating shocks. Some examples ... -
Laboratory investigations of a chaotic flow using braid theory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Describing transport in fluid flows has been a long-standing challenge in dynamical systems theory, with applications to industrial and natural flows. The detection of Lagrangian structures that stay coherent over time ... -
Laboratory simulation of subsurface airflow beneath a building
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Vapor intrusion is the vapor-phase migration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into buildings due to subsurface soil or groundwater contamination. Oxygen replenishment rates beneath a building are significant for ... -
Laboratory study of the atmospheric heterogeneous oxidation of benzo[a]pyrene
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of chemical pollutants found ubiquitously in the environment. PAHs are carcinogenic and mutagenic, and the reaction of PAHs in the atmosphere can significantly alter their ... -
Laboratory study of the effect of sea walls on beach erosion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
A laboratory study of three-dimensional breaking waves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Laborlandschaft : redesigning the industrial laboratory module
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis proposes to redesign the industrial pharmaceutical laboratory typology by rethinking the composition of the laboratory module; the smallest functional sub-unit of the laboratory type. The design for this thesis ... -
Labyrinthos
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982)Composition, in time and space is discussed as a general problem in graphics, music, film/video, landscape architecture and architecture. This discussion serves to introduce the primary sources which motivate the design ... -
A lack of security or a lack of capital? : acculturative conservatism in immigrant naming
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Recent research on immigrant naming demonstrates a market tendency towards "acculturative conservatism," whereby immigrants select given names for their children that were highly popular in an earlier generation of the ... -
The ladder divide : a look into leadership from both the individual contributor and manager perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)There is a common misconception that equates management to leadership. There is also a common school of thought that believes in order to lead one has to traverse the corporate ladder from individual contributor to the ... -
