Two investigations of compressor stability : spike stall inception and transient heat transfer effects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Two investigations of current problems in the field of compressor stability are presented. The first is of the formation of spike-type rotating stall precursors. Recently, high fidelity computations have attributed pre-cursor ... -
Two methods for separating higher modes of seismic surface waves.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1966) -
Two new approaches for learning Hidden Markov Models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are ubiquitously used in applications such as speech recognition and gene prediction that involve inferring latent variables given observations. For the past few decades, the predominant technique ... -
Two phase flow splitting in piping branches
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)The objectives of this research are to evaluate the performance of a flow-splitting tripod, discover the factors which most affect the flow distribution; and quantify the effects of geometry, quality and flow rate on the ... -
Two responses of a uniformly stratified flow over a sloping bottom to a spatially varying downwelling favorable wind
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The work was motivated by studies of Austin and Lentz (2002) and Pedlosky (2007). The above mentioned works considered two different responses of the stratified flow to a downwelling favorable wind forcing. The first study ... -
Two Studies of Constraints in High Dimensions: Entropy Inequalities and the Randomized Symmetric Binary Perceptron
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-02)We study two constrained problems in high dimensions. We study a high dimensional inequality for the binary entropy. The perceptron is a natural model in high-dimensional probability, and a toy shallow neural network which ... -
Two studies of Japan-REIT performance : modeling risk and tracking property-level performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This paper is intended to recognize the performance of REITs in Japan (J-REITs) by conducting two kinds of studies in a REIT-level and an underlying property-level: first, to do "factor loadings" that identify systematic ... -
Two urban corners : a design exploration for the Holloway block
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982)This thesis explores built possibilities for two public street corners at the Holloway Block in Burlington, Vermont The site is at the historic commercial center of the town, and consisted until recently of abandoned ... -
Two-Color interferometry as a fluctuation diagnostic on Alcator C-Mod
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)The two-color interferometer diagnostic on Alcator C-Mod has been upgraded to measure line-integrated electron density fluctuations for turbulence and transport studies. Heterodyne signals from ten vertical-viewing CO2 ... -
Two-dimensional analysis of rotor suction and the impact on rotor-stator interaction noise
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
A two-dimensional design method for highly-loaded blades in turbomachines
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983) -
A two-dimensional fluid-structure coupling algorithm for the interaction of high-speed flows with open shells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The design of future light aerospace structures will require numerical tools to accurately describe the strongly coupled dynamics of the interactions between a light structure and a flow surrounding it. Specific examples ... -
A two-dimensional global dispersion model applied to several halocarbons
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983) -
Two-dimensional hybrid particle-in-cell modeling of Hall thrusters
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Two-dimensional material based layer transfer of thin film devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)The semiconductor industry has mainly centered around silicon-based technology due to its associated cost advantage stemming from the abundance of the element and well-established fabrication infrastructures. However, there ... -
Two-dimensional materials for ubiquitous electronics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Ubiquitous electronics will be a very important component of future electronics. However, today's approaches to large area, low cost, potentially ubiquitous electronic devices are currently dominated by the low mobility ... -
Two-dimensional photonic crystals as selective emitters for thermophotovoltaic power conversion applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This research investigates the use of two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PhC) as selective emitters and means of achieving higher efficiencies in combustion-driven thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems intended as auxiliary ... -
Two-dimensional quench propagation model for a three-dimensional "high-temperature" superconducting coil
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)Quenching is a thermal failure mechanism encountered with superconducting magnets. When a section of conductor is driven normal by an external heat input, the magnet transport current flows through a resistance, causing ... -
