Using the language of thought
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)In this thesis, I develop and explore two novel models of how humans might be able to acquire high-level conceputal knowledge by performing probabilistic inference over a language of thought (Fodor 1975) - a space of ... -

Using the literature in the study of emerging fields of science and technology
(Cambridge, MA : Alfred P. Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, c1991) -
Using the magnetoencephalogram to noninvasively measure magnetite in the living human brain
(Wiley, 2019-04-01)© 2018 The Authors. Human Brain Mapping published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. During the past several decades there has been much interest in the existence of magnetite particles in the human brain and their accumulation ... -
Using the method of moments and Robin Hood method to solve electromagnetic scattering problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis project was to write a program in C++ that solves electromagnetic scattering problems for arbitrarily shaped scatterers. This was implemented by using a surface integral formulation of Maxwell's equations, which ... -
Using the modified back-propagation algorithm to perform automated downlink analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Using the Monsanto software
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1998) -
Using the Neutron Excess Concept to Determine Starting Fuel Requirements for Minimum Burnup Breed-and-Burn Reactors
(Informa UK Limited, 2011-04)In a breed-and-burn (B&B) reactor, the reactor is first started with enriched uranium or other fissile material but thereafter can be refueled with natural or depleted uranium. B&B reactors have the potential to achieve ... -
Using the non-intrusive load monitor for shipboard supervisory control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Field studies have demonstrated that it is possible to evaluate the state of many shipboard systems by analyzing the power drawn by electromechanical actuators [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. One device that can perform such an ... -
Using the principles of set-based design to realize ship design process improvement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Set-based design (SBD) is a relatively new complex product development method. Its use has been well researched in the automotive and aerospace industries and, although it requires an upfront investment in resources, it ... -
Using the PUMA System
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1985-04)This document describes the operation of the Lisp Machine interface to the Unimation Puma 600 Robot Arm. The interface is evolved from a system described in an earlier paper, and much is the same. However, the under-lying ... -
Using the seven-step method to reduce defects in a polymer sheet making process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Using the shortwave infrared to image middle ear pathologies
(National Academy of Sciences (U.S.), 2016-08)Visualizing structures deep inside opaque biological tissues is one of the central challenges in biomedical imaging. Optical imaging with visible light provides high resolution and sensitivity; however, scattering and ... -
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 the variogram for vector outlier screening: application to feature-based image registration
(Springer Nature, 2018-12)Purpose: Matching points that are derived from features or landmarks in image data is a key step in some medical imaging applications. Since most robust point matching algorithms claim to be able to deal with outliers, ... -
Using the Vidisector and the Store Picture Facility
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1972-06)The stored picture facility (FAKETV) allows LISP users, and to some extent machine language users, to access a library of stored images rather than live vidisector scenes. The vidisector functions in LISP have been slightly ... -
USING THE X-RAY DUST SCATTERING HALO OF CYGNUS X-1 TO DETERMINE DISTANCE AND DUST DISTRIBUTIONS
(IOP Publishing, 2011-08)We present a detailed study of the X-ray dust scattering halo of the black hole candidate Cygnus X-1 based on two Chandra High Energy Transmission Gratings Spectrometer observations. Using 18 different dust models, including ... -
Using thermochronology to constrain exhumation in the Swiss-Italian Alps
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Twelve bedrock samples were collected from Ticino, Switzerland and Northern Italy for thermochronological studies using the (U-Th)/He technique on zircon and apatite and fission track on subset of zircons. Nine samples ... -
Using time-resolved nuclear diagnostics to probe kinetic/multi-ion physics and shock dynamics on OMEGA and the NIF
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)This thesis focuses on the development and application of time-resolved nuclear diagnostics to probe plasma evolution in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) implosions. On the OMEGA laser facility at the Laboratory for Laser ... -
Using TNT-NN to unlock the fast full spatial inversion of large magnetic microscopy data sets
(Terrapub, 2019-02)Modern magnetic microscopy (MM) provides high-resolution, ultra-high-sensitivity moment magnetometry, with the ability to measure at spatial resolutions better than 10⁻⁴ m and to detect magnetic moments weaker than 10⁻¹⁵ ...
