A wage payment plan for the gorton-pew fisheries company
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1947) -
Wages and diversity : evidence from minority MBA job officers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)In this thesis, I develop a model for the economic impact of corporate ethnic diversity, and for the relationship between firm diversity and compensation offered to minority workers. I construct a sample of information ... -
The WALL-E suitcase : an exploration of translating a character into a functional, aesthetic, and structurally sound product
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis presents a product design case study that effectively translates a well-known character into a well-loved product. Character merchandising is not often a topic discussed in design curriculum, though it is a ... -
The Wall-Mill : the design of a flexible machine for the in-situ architectural machining of surfaces
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Water-like wave patterns on surfaces are seen in the walls of the Glaphyros Apartment in Paris, France and in the Frankfurt Nightclub in Frankfurt, Germany (designed by Mark Goulthorpe). These 3-D surfaces were created by ... -
Walter Gropius and the ideas of modern German architecture 1910-1928.
(MIT,ms.Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1964) -
War in present tense : filming children of Agent Orange rehabilitation villages in Vietnam and the danger of misrepresentation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)We represent the Vietnam War as a concluded event in the past; however, the Agent- Orange-affected population in Vietnam shows that war is contemporary. This population remains relatively unknown to the world - especially ... -
Waste heat recovery in automobile engines : potential solutions and benefits
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Less than 30% of the energy in a gallon of gasoline reaches the wheels of a typical car; most of the remaining energy is lost as heat. Since most of the energy consumed by an internal combustion engine is wasted, capturing ... -
Water and carbon flux responses to soil moisture pulses in the Western United States
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)In this study, the relationships among plant water and carbon flux responses to soil moisture resource pulses in semi-arid lands of the Western United States were diagnosed. Measurements from twelve AmeriFlux tower (in ... -
Water borne transport of high level nuclear waste in very deep borehole disposal of high level nuclear waste
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The purpose of this report is to examine the feasibility of the very deep borehole experiment and to determine if it is a reasonable method of storing high level nuclear waste for an extended period of time. The objective ... -
Water distillation using waste engine heat from an internal combustion engine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)To meet the needs of forward deployed soldiers and disaster relief personnel, a mobile water distillation system was designed and tested. This system uses waste engine heat from the exhaust flow of an internal combustion ... -
Water modeling the solid oxide membrane electrolysis with rotating cathode process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The Kroll process for refining titanium is an expensive batch process which produces a final product that still requires intensive post processing to create usable titanium. A new process, Solid Oxide Membrane Electrolysis ... -
Water waste - its cause, detection and prevention
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1890) -
Water waste in cities and means of prevention
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1908) -
Waterscape
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Water plays an integral role in mediating the natural environment, ecosystems and habitats, and in shaping our natural landscapes. Using water as a tool for form-finding in landscape design fosters a sense of awareness of ... -
Waugh revisited : destabilizing language and structure in Vile bodies, A handful of dust, and Brideshead revisited by Jabe Ziino.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Introduction: Last Fall semester I had only a very vague idea of a thesis topic: with a broad interest in the conflict between romantic love and religion inspired in part by a summertime reading of Brideshead Revisited, I ... -
Wave propagation in finite element and mass-spring-dashpot lattice models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Numerical efficiency comparisons of a four-node finite element model (FEM), a mass-spring lattice model (MSLM), and a mass-spring-dashpot lattice model (MSDLM) are investigated. Specifically, the error in the ultrasonic ... -
Wave scattering from cylindrical fluid inclusions in an elastic medium and determination of effective medium properties
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Wave-induced vibrations in fixed offshore structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1962) -
Wavelength partitioning in WDM ring networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
A waypoint-driven gradient descent solution for a parallel robot
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)This project aims to introduce a more robust navigation architecture for the Triple Scissor Extender Robot Arm (TSERA) at the d'Arbeloff Laboratory for Information Systems and Technology. TSERA was developed to access a ...
