Dahl friction modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The drive behind improved friction models has been better prediction and control of dynamic systems. The earliest model was of classical Coulomb friction; however, the discontinuity during force reversal of the Coulomb ... -
Damage analysis of internal faults in flux concentrating permanent magnet motors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Damped arm restraint for tremor patients
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982) -
A damped joystick : evaluation and testing using a two dimensional tracking task
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981) -
Damping mechanisms and their effects on the whipping response of a submerged submarine subjected to an underwater explosion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Dark energy and CMB anisotropy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)According to the WMAP and earlier COBE observations, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy power on large angular scales appears to be significantly lower than predicted by the standard model of cosmology. We ... -
Dark matter dynamics in the early universe
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)We study a new form of dark matter interaction which may significantly affect the thermal relic abundance of dark matter. This new interaction takes the form C+D --> C+[phi], where D is the dark matter species present ... -
Dark noise calibration of the Super-Kamiokande outer detector
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The process for calculating the single photoelectron gain in the Super-Kamiokande outer detector has been streamlined. The original technique used optic fibers to expose the detector's photomultiplier tubes to known amounts ... -
The DarkLight experiment : searching for the dark photon
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)We describe a setup to search for the existence of a massive gauge boson A', the "dark photon," mediating dark matter interactions with coupling strength [alpha]'. In certain models, the A' decays promptly but invisibly ... -
Data analysis to understand coordination and topological environments in oxides
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Local coordination and topology of ions determine several important properties of materials, including electronic structure, migration barrier, and diffusivity. In this thesis, we employ the Materials Project Database to ... -
A data collection and analysis system for Yenta
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Data connectivity for the composite information system/tool kit
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
Data manipulation services in the Haystack IR system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
A data model for the Haystack document management system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Data processing and inference methods for zero knowledge nuclear disarmament
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)It is hoped that future nuclear arms control treaties will call for the dismantlement of stored nuclear warheads. To make the authenticated decommissioning of nuclear weapons agreeable, methods must be developed to validate ... -
Data warehousing, OLAP, and data mining : an integrated strategy for use at FAA
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Database maintenance for a video editing system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986) -
A database of computer attacks for the evaluation of intrusion detection systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)The 1998 DARPA intrusion detection evaluation created the first standard corpus for evaluating computer intrusion detection systems. This corpus was designed to evaluate both false alarm rates and detection rates of intrusion ... -
DATE : a framework for supporting design artifact tracking and evolution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Daughters of Eve : violence against women in Pakistan
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The purpose of this study was to conduct extensive research on domestic violence against women in Pakistan and to present the results in a comprehensive document. Some of the issues investigated through fieldwork and covered ...
