Abstract:

As a contribution to the history of Town and Country Planning this work shows how the Cambridge Preservation Society came to be instrumental in the formulation of a policy of containment for the city which led to the creation of the city's green belt. In doing so it describes how the Town Planning system developed in the 1930s and 1940s in relation to an historic town and how that system was manipulated by a private but influential group of individuals who had come together to preserve their local environment. The origins of the society are traced from the individuals who had campaigned for the drawing up of a regional plan to control indiscriminate building development on the fringes of the town (as it then was). The society was formed in 1928 with an Executive Committee drawn from leading members of Cambridge University and from the town. The work of the society is described, beginning with the purchase of open land on the outskirts of Cambridge to preserve it from building development and the purchase of restrictive covenants ("sterilisation") from the owners of other land nearby to the same end. The evolution of each of the milestones in the history of the planning of Cambridge and its hinterland is described, beginning with the Cambridgeshire Regional Planning Report (the "Davidge Report") of 1934 and including the pre-Second World War Cambridge & District Town Planning Scheme, the 1950 Holford Report on Cambridge and the first Cambridgeshire Development Plan of 1952. The society took part in each of these, consistently promoting the preservation of the character and setting of Cambridge as the 'only true university town in England.' The main aim of the society was achieved with the establishment of the Cambridge Green Belt, first proposed in 1958 but not formally approved until 1992. The development of that green belt over that period is described. The circumstances of the purchase by the society of the Wandlebury Estate on the summit of the Gog Magog Hills south east of Cambridge are described. The estate is now maintained by the society as a public country park.

Abstract:

Thesis (M.Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2002. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 43-44). When architects talk of 'smart buildings' they are usually referring to the same old ones with the addition of simple prosthetics such as light sensors and small electric motors. Their smartness is invariably limited to the smartness of the trickster. I have sought to develop a strategy which traces a line between the ideal and the pragmatic; it points towards an alternative morphology where the result is not necessarily a discrete zoning of functions, nor prescription of form, but would allow for and support a flexible, dynamic organization that is responsive to the fluctuating energies of technology in space. The complex is motivated by the need to install into the American landscape new attitudes towards study, leisure, and nature. It provides to both the student and the community with spaces that are optimized for disseminating information; these shifting interior landscapes act as parallel horizons, allowing flexible walls, spaces, and rooms to be formed and transformed by different media, as well as the space's intended function. The architectural possibility is achieved by the use of gantries, ramps, and an open plan, all structured through activities that are not restricted by past programmatic conventions. by Paul Hyun Kim.

Full text

Abstract:

Assessments of the influence of the Cambridge Platonists have tended to focus on later writers who explicitly adopted some of their ideas, or have suggested more vaguely that their ideas resulted in liberal theology sometimes verging towards heterodoxy. This thesis attempts to explore the 'educational influence' of Henry More and Ralph Cudworth on a group of Cambridge students who have been selected on clear and consistent principles. It presents a prosopographical study of undergraduates at Christ's College, Cambridge, between 1641, when Henry More became a fellow, and 1688, when the Master Ralph Cudworth died. Thirty-one students - whose tutors' names are known, who were at Christ's throughout their undergraduate careers, who graduated BA, who published works showing original thinking, and who could be identified with certainty - have been arranged into three tutorial 'families': Cudworth and More's circle, the intruded Puritan fellows' group and Ralph Widdrington's party. Beyond the study of tutorial relationships, this thesis also explores the friendship and patronage networks of tutors and students in their careers. The personalities, careers and writings of tutors and students have been studied with three objectives. First, an attempt has been made to assess the influence of tutors on students, especially as evidenced in their writings, although a lack of published or manuscript writings by some tutors presents acknowledged difficulties. Second, the possibility of discovering the corporate, if complex, intellectual 'personality' of each group has been explored. Third, the specific influence of Cudworth and More on individual students has been assessed; while this was greatest in their own tutorial circle, there is also evidence of intellectual influence and practical assistance III the other tutorial 'families'. The thesis represents an unprecedented attempt to examine Oxbridge tutorial influence, using a new methodology which could potentially be applied to the students of other major thinkers

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the relationship between a town and its region in the late medieval period. The population, wealth, trade, and markets of Cambridge and its region are studied, as are the nature and extent of changes which occurred between 1450 and 1560, a period traditionally viewed as one of economic and social transition. Taxation records of the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries are used to analyse the population and wealth of Cambridge and its region. Rates of growth varied noticeably between different towns, sub-regions and parishes within the county. The trade of the town and its hinterland is shown through the purchases made by the Cambridge colleges and other institutions. The university expanded considerably during the fifteenth century and a number of new colleges were founded. Patterns of credit highlight the extent of London marketing networks, and demand from the capital appears to have stimulated the development of the malt barley and saffron trades in the region during the later fifteenth century. The markets and fairs of Cambridge and its region are explored, including the location of surviving markets and the regulation of marketing activity. Stourbridge fair, a major trading event held on the outskirts of Cambridge, grew significantly in this period, and the buyers and sellers who used this fair are examined. The purchases of King’s Hall and King’s College show the supply of food and fuel to the town, revealing the area of supply, the status and wealth of suppliers, and the prices of wheat over the period. Finally, the land and labour markets in the town are explored briefly, focusing on the property owned by Cambridge Corporation, and the impact of college building projects. This work concludes by highlighting particular factors which influenced the development of Cambridge and its region, including the university’s expansion, Stourbridge fair, and London trading links, while pointing to the limited extent of economic development generally over the 1450-1560 period.

Full text

Abstract:

The Cambridge Infrared Panoramic Survey Spectrograph, CIRPASS, is an infrared spectrograph that operates in the 0.9 to 1.8 mm wavelength region. CIRPASS was developed entirely at the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge, and the design, construction and performance of CIRPASS are presented in this thesis. CIRPASS provides integral field spectroscopy (IFS). Spectra are simultaneously obtained from 499 contiguous spatial elements in a two-dimensional area of sky using an integral field unit (IFU). The construction of the IFU, which used a lenslet array and fibre optic bundle, is presented, as well as a review of IFS techniques. The sensitivity of CIRPASS has been maximised by ensuring the background signal detected by the instrument is reduced to an absolute minimum. CIRPASS has the capability to remove, both in hardware and software, the dominant infrared sky background from OH emission in the upper atmosphere. The advantages that this offers, and the benefits of both suppression techniques are presented. The thermal background of CIRPASS was reduced by cooling the entire spectrograph to -40°C. The instrument was cooled using a conventional industrial refrigeration system and resulted in significant improvements to the instrument's performance. The characteristics of the HAWAII infrared detector array used were measured, to determine their impact on the instrument's sensitivity, and found to be within specification. Software was written to reduce CIRPASS data that is applicable to any IFS instrument producing data in the Euro 3D format. A data reduction pipeline, that can be used for rapid data reduction at the telescope and for more detailed analysis afterwards, was implemented. The pipeline implementation and the techniques adopted for reducing closely packed spectral data on an infrared detector are discussed. The performance of CIRPASS was quantified by observing the Cambridge night sky with CIRPASS attached to a small telescope. The results provide an accurate measure of the instrument's performance on a larger telescope and are detailed. The expected limiting magnitudes for 3 hour observations of a point source, on an 8 m telescope, resulting in a signal-to-noise ratio of 5 are J=21.3 and H=19.3. The equivalent limiting line fluxes are J=4.4x10-18 ergs/s/cm2 and H=9.0x10-8 ergs/s/cm2.

Full text

Abstract:

The Cambridge Optical Aperture Synthesis Telescope, or COAST, was conceived by Baldwin and co-workers at the Cavendish Laboratory in 1987 as the simplest possible separated element array for optical closure phase imaging. At the outset if was not clear that the technical difficulties associated with co-phasing the multiple elements simultaneously could be overcome. In this dissertation I describe work which spans the transition between the "engineering and construction" phase and the "astronomical" phase of the COAST project. The contents of each Chapter are as follows: • In Chapter 2 we begin by considering the analysis of visibility-amplitude and closure-phase measurements, concentrating in particular upon the problem of model comparison. We develop a Bayesian framework for the problem, which we then use consistently throughout the remainder of the dissertation. • Chapter 3 is primarily concerned with the design and construction of the array and is therefore mainly a review. Also considered are the range of array configurations presenting available and the throughput of the optical beam-combination system. • Chapter 4 describes the practicalities of data acquisition at COAST and also discusses the estimation of visibility amplitudes and closure-phases from the raw data. The first angular diameter measurements from the array illustrate the quality of visibility amplitude data. • Chapter 5 is by far the most important in this work: the first true images from any separated-element optical array are presented. These represent the first proof that closure-phase imaging using a long-baseline optical interferometer is possible. • In Chapter 6 we consider observations of Betelgeuse which are important both technically and astrophysically. • Chapter 7 is concerned with observations of the Mira-type variable star R Leo. These revealed a pulsation-phase coherent variation in angular diameter at four wavelengths across two periods during 1996 and 1997.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the circulation of physics between Australia and Cambridge from 1850 to 1950, arguing that scientific knowledge was produced through this very process of circulation. Four aspects of the circulation of knowledge are investigated; technology, scientific roles, public science and scientific discovery. The thesis begins with a discussion of telegraphy as a technology of settlement in relation to the Overland Telegraph between Adelaide and Darwin, completed under Charles Todd’s leadership in 1872. This offers a new perspective on telegraphy and Empire: the cross-cultural context of the Overland Telegraph suggests how central Australia was colonised through accumulation and exchange of knowledge and how the limit of telegraphic coordination were reached. New attempt at coordination through the development of electrical technology and theory are then discussed in the case of the rural hermitage of Tasmanian mathematical physicist, Alexander McAulay. The concept of technological settlement is extended to the discussion of early twentieth century hydroelectrification that created naturalistic landscapes while transforming land use. This created overlapping spaces for physics that encapsulated competing environmental and industrial values. From this hermetic landscape McAulay challenged Cambridge mathematical physics to adopt his preferred form of vector calculus, quaternions, previously rejected during his undergraduate years in Cambridge in the early 1880s. Imperial circulation created new spaces for the acceptance of new knowledge. The travels of the New South Wales experimental physicist, Richard Threlfall, shaped a new identity for experimental physics in Australia and prepared Cambridge physics for the reception of this persona. Between 1884 and 1897 Cambridge seemed transiently bereft of personnel who were able convincingly to perform the new physics that head of the Cavendish Physical Laboratory, JJ Thomson, tried to make routine. Threlfall combined the requisite performances in chemistry and physics, demonstration and measurement, into a professional framework. He Anglicized German research models for a New South Wales audience and conducted institutional development to this end when Australasia was becoming pivotal to projects in imperial defence and to Cambridge science. The institutionalisation of Australasian career models in Cambridge physics is then discussed through the careers of Ernest Rutherford and Thomas Laby. Adept in the crossing of boundaries, the pair contributed to the reform of Cambridge physics through their definition of heroic and routine career models emulated throughout the Empire. These models were deployed to realise Thomson’s experimental program.

Abstract:

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2012. This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections. Page 84 blank. Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (p. 82-83). This study explores how the forms of urban landscapes influence and reflect physical and metaphorical journeys through a city. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the artist and researcher investigates the diverse landscapes of her native Cambridge, Massachusetts: from her own backyard to the Minuteman Bikeway. Places such as public parks once felt physically infinite and natural in childhood, but are revealed as man-made and enclosed by the inorganic frameworks of the city. The level of fragmentation in landscapes experienced increases along the timeline of life, reflecting increased pace and complexity further away from home. These energetic forms lead to city exits such as highways, where one-point perspective reintroduces the notion of infinity. Methods of research include site studies, a literature review, and the development of a form generation process leading to the production of an exhibition of paintings. While at first glance some of the featured landscapes appear natural, their artificiality is revealed by the geometries of elements such as fences, pavement, and bridges. The compositions were developed iteratively using digital photography and tracing to find the most dynamic forms and rhythms. Site photos were deconstructed literally into two different layers: inorganic and organic. The final paintings subtract the inorganic layers from the organic layers, resulting in a distinctly modern, urban aesthetic. by Leah B. Brunetto. S.B.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the construct validity of the eight subscales of the Cambridge Cognitive Examination (CAMCOG). A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to determine if the subscales of the CAMCOG, as proposed by its authors (Roth et al., 1986), were able to adequately describe the total set of relations among the set of individual scale items.The subjects consisted of 224 male and female individuals obtained through a study to examine the validity of the CAMCOG on a United States population. The subjects were divided into two separate groups: those diagnosed as having a dementing illness and a normal comparison group. The CAMCOG was administered to each subject as a measure of neuropsychological functioning by a trained professional or paraprofessional.Two models were established a priori for the confirmatory factor analysis. The first model was based on the theory of Roth et al. (1986) which suggested there are eight factors within the CAMCOG. The second model was developed as a one-factor solution and was based on the present author's theory that the CAMCOG is a general measure of brain impairment and that all data would be best explained by one common factor. Maximum likelihood estimates were calculated using LISREL VII (Joreskog & Sorbom, 1989).The results of the study suggest that the eight-factor model of the CAMCOG proposed by its authors (Roth et al., 1986) provided a significantly better explanation of the data than did the one factor model proposed by the author of this study. However, neither one of the models postulated was found to adequately describe the covariance of the obtained data. Accordingly, the validity of the constructs of the CAMCOG as proposed by Roth et al. (1986) is considered to be questionable. Suggestions for further research are presented.

Abstract:

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2013. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (p. 99-104). Parking is regulated today by cities to achieve a variety of goals including traffic reduction, air quality improvement, urban densification, and climate change mitigation. In the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts, parking regulation has proven to be a highly contentious dimension of local development politics. In 1973, the US EPA promulgated a cap on non-residential parking supply in Cambridge as part of efforts to bring the Boston metropolitan area into compliance with Clear Air Act ambient air quality standards. Until 1997 the City of Cambridge administered the highly controversial parking "freeze," which garnered opposition from developers, businesses, and their allies within city government, as well as strong support from neighborhood activists who hoped the freeze would limit development. Debate over the parking freeze led to efforts by Cambridge planning and transportation staff to recast the parking freeze as a suite of policies targeting demand for driving, particularly among employee commuters. Cambridge has grown significantly over the past two decades and is poised to grow further, providing the impetus for research into the city's experience with parking regulations and travel demand management policies. Analysis of the history, implementation, and effects of Cambridge's parking policies yields several key conclusions. First, the City developed its parking policies in response to a series of external federal, state and local mandates in the form of regulations, lawsuits, and petitions. These events precipitated debates over the role that parking policies should play between groups that in this thesis are called the local "growth coalition," or development interests, neighborhood "limited growth" activists, and govemment "planned density" bureaucrats. Debates between these three groups dramatically shaped the form that Cambridge's policies now take. Second, past and current parking policies have facilitated the existence of many underused parking spaces in the city, which undermine the effectiveness of City policies that target commuter driving. Finally, although concerns about the impacts of parking policies on economic development still exist in Cambridge, anticipated growth presents an opportunity for the City to revisit its parking policies. Revised policies could more effectively enable the shared use of existing parking spaces, increase employee awareness of commuter benefits, and make the costs of parking more transparent and representative of their physical, social, and environmental impacts. by Cara Elizabeth Ferrentino.

Abstract:

Atkinson's virtual self-preparation for Cambridge is described and discussed, noting the importance of respons-· ible patronage. His objective was university study, a Fellowship, and the Bar, leading to public life. Cambridge's social and academic scene is viewed in the light of Atkinson's 1825 account of his experience, attention being directed to its 'alternative society', and the major change in Mathematics associated with the Analytical Society, betweeen 1817 and 1821, in which year he was Senior Wrangler. Note is taken of criticism, also published in 1825, by Cowling, Senior Wrangler in 1824. Particular consideration is given to Atkinson's assessment of what an University ought to offer, and his claims as to Cambridge's failure; to his not getting a Fellowship, and consequent difficulties when reading for the Bar. His Letters to Huskisson, 1826, are interpreted as a vain bid for the attention of the shipping interest, whose patronage might further his entry to 'the arena of public life'. He expounded the likely effects of repeal of the Navigation Acts, particularly in the light of his recent visit to America. Called to the Bar in 1827, he devoted his life thereafter to the Law, as conveyancer and equity draftsman, but, especially, as author of legal books for practitioners. His earliest work, 1829, was intended to caution the Real Property Commission, set up under Benthamite influence. His last, 1853, surveyed and offered solutions to some problems of the Profession in mid-century, especially those deriving from the 1846 Act, reviving the County Courts, and of which, unlike most of the Bar, he had been a supporter. Here, He. drew again on what he had found in Canada and the United States during an extended visit in 1836.

Abstract:

As Local Area Networks gain momentum in recent Computer Science research, implementation is generally characterized by various factors such as efficiency, reliability, error recovery, and synchronism; however, how well the above issues can be achieved is heavily dependent on the facilities available in an implementation environment. Due to the recent popularity of message passing and concurrent processes, the UNIX 4.2bsd operating system with its interprocess communication facility is chosen to be the implementation environment for the Cambridge Ring's Basic Block and Byte Stream Protocols. Basic Block Protocol, implemented as a device driver in the system kernel, is the lowest level protocol which provides an unreliable datagram service, while the Byte Stream Protocol, implemented using multi-concurrent processes in the user space, provides a reliable, full-duplex virtual circuit service based on the service provided by the Basic Block Protocol. This thesis describes the protocol implementation on a 68000 based SUN workstation, and discusses results learnt from the experiment. The multi-concurrent processes approach is found to work adequately well for a small number of clients, but incur high overhead when the number of clients is large.

Abstract:

The following report gives an overview of my internship completed with HEB Construction Limited on the tender for Tamahere to Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway. The focus of the internship was on quantity surveying and the process of tendering. An emphasis was also put on investigating and understanding aspects of tendering related to the New Zealand Transport Authority. After analysing the work completed during the internship, the main finding was that efficiency during the early stages of quantity surveying can be increased. In the future, this will be achieved through replacing scale rulers with computer software which simplify many of the time consuming processes currently used to capture the information on design drawings.

Abstract:

Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2012. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (p. 77). The Grand Junction railroad lies at the heart of East Cambridge adjacent to the Kendall Square business district and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus. Over the last one hundred years the railroad has gone through substantial changes - from an important freight corridor to having just a few train movements per day. The recent purchase of the railroad by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, planned relocations of existing freight yards, and future corridor improvements have made it possible to consider the addition of passenger services on the Grand Junction. Rising employment, population, and the congestion of the existing commuter rail facilities necessitate exploration of existing means to alleviate capacity. This study is part of larger study that explores the addition of passenger transit services on the Grand Junction with the goal of increasing frequency and capacity to the west along the Worcester/Framingham main line. The topics of this paper are service alternatives, scheduling, cost and performance. The study outlines all possible alternatives that are then screened for final analysis. Commuter rail and diesel multiple unit (DMU) services are the alternatives quantitatively analyzed. A schedule model estimates the maximum frequency, based on existing constraints, to be five trains per hour. Marginal cost modeling shows that based on estimated demand levels, DMU trains may be a more financially viable option for Grand Junction service. This conclusion is backed up by performance comparison of DMUs and commuter trains, showing that DMUs in the configurations proposed are quieter, more fuel efficient, and would likely have a smaller traffic impact along the densely populated Grand Junction corridor. A substantial and detailed study of DMU service along the Grand Junction is recommended. by Jesus Iglesias Cuervo. M.Eng.

Abstract:

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2002. Includes bibliographical references (leaf 62). The condominium has become a popular form of ownership in Cambridge as it provides attractive benefits of homeownership without the physical responsibilities of maintaining a detached single-family home. Furthermore, as it is often a less expensive form of homeownership than single-family housing, it enables moderate income, first-time home buyers to have comparatively easier access to homeownership. During the time when much of the rental housing was under the rent control, condominium conversions were a means of releasing housing from the controls. Many of the landlords sought to convert their housing to condominium units even after strict ordinances were passed to limit the sales of such condominiums. This study seeks to investigate and explain the condominium conversion market after the termination of rent control, during the years of 1995 through 1998. The first objective of this study is to investigate the spatial pattern of Cambridge and its neighborhoods with regard to distributions of rentcontrolled housing, converted condominium units, rent-controlled units that were converted to condominiums and the median sales prices of condominium units. The second objective is to examine further the neighborhoods and better understand the condominium market of each neighborhood. Using the data on rent controlled residential units in 1994 and residential condominium units assessed for the fiscal year 2000, we employed Geographic Information System to visually present the spatial housing patterns in Cambridge. Most importantly, we analyzed the phenomenon of condominium conversions after rent deregulation and the findings indicate that less than 2 percent of the rent controlled units in 1994 were converted to condominiums during the period of 1995 through 1998. Most of the conversions and new construction of condominiums were in five of the neighborhoods whose residents have relatively high income levels, and in which there are greater number of non-family households, young professionals, and owner-occupied dwellings. The pattern of sales price by neighborhood is also examined during the 1995-1998 period. by Yoon-jung Kim. S.M.

Abstract:

Thesis (S.M. in Real Estate Development)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2007. "September 2007." Includes bibliographical references (leaf 86). A hotel economic feasibility study was carried out for an assemblage of four (4) parcels located on Monsignor O'Brien Highway in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The primary objective of this economic feasibility study was to assess the supply and demand factors affecting the market for transient accommodations in the East Cambridge area for the purpose of recommending the size and type of hotel which is most logical for this assembled site. Once these perimeters were determined, an economic feasibility study was performed to evaluate the anticipated economic benefits and probable total project cost. The financial analysis undertaken was utilized to determine whether the return on investment makes the proposed project economically feasible. It was determined in the initial stages of the study that the assemblage of parcels was flawed. After reconfiguring the assembled site, further analysis continued. In the end, the study validated the economic feasibility of a 250 key lifestyle brand type hotel. The hotel is conceived to be in operation as of January 1, 2011. The planning and entitlement process is expected to last approximately sixteen months. Construction is scheduled to take an additional two years time. The development will be have both mortgage and equity components. The internal rate of return based on the economic valuation of the property value of $68,431,191 is 8.37%. The mortgage component of $55,622,501 represents an IRR of 7%. The equity component is valued at $12,808,690 which represents an IRR of 12.4% by Mark P. Rogers. S.M.in Real Estate Development

Abstract:

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2009. Includes bibliographical references (p. 89-90). In recent years, many cities have been looking for alternative urban transportation tools due to the high cost of energy and the global climate change. As one of the clean transportation types, cycling has become gradually noticed by many American cities. The cities of Boston and Cambridge have been promoting cycling for years and have started to lay more emphasis on it recently. This paper will propose a possible cycling network for the two cities to illustrate in general how to design a cycling network within an already built city. Firstly, the thesis briefly goes over the history of cycling, addressing the unpopular role of utilitarian cycling in American cities. Secondly, the thesis will review previous cycling planning theories and discuss different models of bicycle planning. In this part, it will also take the city of Davis, California as a case study, discussing the planning strategy of how to implement cycling in American cities. Thirdly, the thesis proposes a cycling network at three different scales: the urban scale, the community scale and the street scale. Conclusions of the design proposals and future suggestions are included in the last chapter. by Ruifeng Tian. S.M.
