Fabrication of a planar optical add/drop channel filter in silicon oxynitride
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
A peer-to-peer anonymizing network layer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Coding in the fusiform face area of the human brain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Synchronization on nulticore architectures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
The rise of multicore computing has made synchronization necessary to overcome the challenge of sharing data between multiple threads. Locks are critical synchronization primitives for maintaining data integrity and ...
Measuring the performance of a Distributed Quota Enforcement system for spam control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
In this thesis, I evaluate Distributed Quota Enforcement (DQE), a system for enforcing quotas on e-mail use as a spam control mechanism. I briefly describe the design and implementation of DQE, and then evaluate the ...
Riffle : an efficient communication system with strong anonymity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Anonymous communication is an important part of democratic societies and freedom of speech. Whistleblowers, protest organizers, and, more broadly, anyone with controversial viewpoints have been using the limited form of ...
Spoken language understanding in a nutrition dialogue system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Existing approaches for the prevention and treatment of obesity are hampered by the lack of accurate, low-burden methods for self-assessment of food intake, especially for hard-to-reach, low-literate populations. For this ...
Numerical field simulation for parallel transmission in MRI at 7 tesla
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
Parallel transmission (pTx) is a promising improvement to coil design that has been demonstrated to mitigate B1* inhomogeneity, manifest as center brightening, for high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Parallel ...
Observational learning with finite memory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
We study a model of sequential decision making under uncertainty by a population of agents. Each agent prior to making a decision receives a private signal regarding a binary underlying state of the world. Moreover she ...
An analysis of incentive strategies for single-source suppliers to drive cost reduction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
An organization's decision on which aspects of its operations to outsource represents a key, strategic issue that should be based on maximizing performance throughout the entire value chain. In certain instances strategic ...
