Inventory planning for low demand items in online retailing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
A large online retailer strategically stocks inventory for SKUs with low demand. The motivations are to provide a wide range of selections and faster customer fulfillment service. We assume the online retailer has the ...
Identification of toxoplasma gondii genes involved in the strain-specific modulation of IL-12 cytokine secretion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular pathogen that causes life-threatening toxoplasmosis in developing fetuses and immune-compromised individuals. An immune response to a Toxoplasma infection is characterized by the ...
High-speed modulation of resonant CMOS photonic modulators in deep-submicron bulk-CMOS
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Processor manufacturers have turned to parallelism to continue to improve processor performance, and the bandwidth demands of these systems have risen. Silicon photonics can lower the energy-per-bit of core-to-core and ...
Faster generation of random spanning trees
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
In this thesis, we set forth a new algorithm for generating approximately uniformly random spanning trees in undirected graphs. We show how to sample from a distribution that is within a multiplicative (1+6) of uniform in ...
An optical data receiver for integrated photonic interconnects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
The throughput bounds of traditional interconnect networks in microprocessors are being pushed to their limits. In past single-core processors, the number of long global wires constituted only a small fraction of the total. ...
Architectural disruption in aerospace
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Distinctive technology and customer / supplier relationships are currently the primary sources of competitive advantage in the Aerospace industry. Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) requirements represent a significant ...
Insurgent strategies for creating inimitability within mature digital ecosystems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Rich software application functionality once constrained to the desktop is now available via the World Wide Web (WWW) with the introduction of emergent Web2.0 technologies. Leveraging the Softwareas- a-service (SaaS) model, ...
Enhancing the systems decision process with flexibility analysis for optimal unmanned aircraft system selection
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Systems Engineers often conduct decision analysis in order to provide decision makers with a quantifiable means to make decisions. However, the field of Systems Engineering is often criticized for focusing on processes and ...
System development & validation process for emerging growing organizations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
This thesis has the main purpose of presenting the Development and Validation phase of the product development system from the point of view of an emerging and growing product development organization, denoting the obstacles ...
Integrating environmental impact assessment into product design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
