Using the urban design process as a catalyst for ongoing collaboration between communities and schools : Northside, Paterson, New Jersey
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Inner city neighborhoods and schools are inextricably linked to each other. While this fact seems obvious and irrefutable, cooperation between urban schools and the neighborhoods they are in is often either non-existent ... -
Using transactional and spatial data to determine drivers of industrial land value
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)The value of a given parcel of land is determined by a multitude of factors based on its location and physical characteristics. No two parcels are alike, making direct comparison between parcels and the study of underlying ... -
Using transfer learning, spectrogram audio classification, and MIT app inventor to facilitate machine learning understanding
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Recent advancements in deep learning have brought machine learning and its many applications to the forefront of our everyday lives. As technology has become more and more integrated into our educational curriculum, ... -
Using uncertain sea level rise projections : adaptation in Rotterdam and New York
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012) -
Using value stream mapping to improve documentation processes in the biopharmacutical industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This thesis describes how a 55% reduction in error rate and a 92% decrease in cycle-time were achieved in a batch production records process in a biotech manufacturing facility by utilization of value-stream mapping. The ... -
Using value stream mapping to improve forging processes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Value stream mapping is a technique that uses icons to map the flow of product through a manufacturing system. These icons are aided by summary statistics to further detail the specific manufacturing system. The value ... -
Using Virtual Business Systems to drive lean behavior in engineering design and support
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Virtual Business System (VBS) is a visual-based analytics and real-time information displaying system. It first started at Raytheon's Andover manufacturing facility in early 2000 with the strategic objectives of linking ... -
Using visual analytics to drive lean behavior in program management office
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Raytheon recently won a large order for one of its programs (Program X) leading to a doubling of monthly production. With a relatively larger order, Raytheon reduced the acquisition unit price to the customer. Thus, there ... -
Using VProbes for intrusion detection
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Many current intrusion detection systems (IDSes) are vulnerable to intruders because they are running under the same operating system (OS) as a potential attacker. Since an attacker will often be attempting to co-opt the ... -
Using wearable technology to gain insight into children's physical and social behaviors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Due to social and financial demands, at least 61% of households have both parents working. Parents and children spend 8 to 10 hours away from each other on a daily basis. During this time, there is very limited communication ... -
Using web graph structures to personalize search
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001) -
Utility business model innovation : a techno-economic and strategic analysis of distributed energy systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Bankable and sustainable utility business models are key to the secure and efficient functioning of critical electric power infrastructure. Due to a variety of factors, including technological progress and policy goals, ... -
Utility functions for ceteris paribus preferences
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Ceteris paribus preference statements concisely represent preferences over outcomes or goals in a way natural to human thinking. Many decision making methods require an efficient method for comparing the desirability of ... -
Utility of the flow substitution principle for high speed propulsion applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Utilization of ambient gas as a propellant for low earth orbit electric propulsion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Utilization of dependency structure matrix analysis to assess implementation of NASA's complex technical projects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002) -
Utilization of high contaminant recycled HDPE in concrete aggregate and investigation into additional industrial applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)Recycled HDPE (rHDPE) has many applications both in consumer and industrial applications. The main drawbacks of the rHDPE are 1) material property inconsistencies and 2) the difficulty of sorting out contaminants, which ... -
Utilization of information management systems for sustainable infrastructure planning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003) -
Utilization of L( - )-glucose by naturally occuring microorganisms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972)Carbon recycle by means of physicochemically synthesized carbohydrates has been proposed. These artificial sugars can be used to generate single cell protein. However, it is not known what effects the unnatural components ... -
Utilization of tetrametaphosphate anhydride for the synthesis of disubstituted tetraphosphates, terminally modified nucleoside 5'-pentaphosphates, and beyond
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)In this thesis, the use of tetrametaphosphate anhydride ([PPN]₂[P₄O₁₁]) for the synthesis of substituted tetrametaphosphates, disubstituted tetraphosphates, and [epsilon]-labelled nucleoside 5'-pentaphosphates was explored. ...
