Abstract:

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2006.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaf 46).<br>Recent research has suggested that under certain conditions, adaptive one-factor-at-a-time (aOFAT) methods outperform more commonly used fractional factorial methods. This study sought to corroborate these claims by analyzing a case study of a real-life experiment. A full factorial experiment was conducted to collect data for simulations of fractional factorial and adaptive one-factor-at-a-time experiments. The experiment used a reconfigurable paper

Abstract:

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a two-step verification process that aims to provide an additional layer of security by requiring the user to authenticate himself/herself using a secondary means (ownership factor or inheritance factor). Without the use of 2FA, an attacker could gain access to a person’s devices or accounts solely by knowing the victim’s password, while with 2FA knowing only this password is insufficient to pass the authentication check. In this project, we analyze different methods in which 2FA could be implemented by a Digital Assessment Platform. These platforms allow tes

Abstract:

In the last three decades, seismic performance assessment of buried structures has evolved through the following stages : i) buried structures are not prone to seismically-induced damages, thus no need for detailed investigations, ii) eliminating soil-structure-earthquake interaction and use of seismically-induced free field ground deformations directly as the basis for seismic demand, thus producing conservative results, and finally iii) soil-structure and earthquake interaction models incorporating both kinematic and inertial interactions. As part of soil-structure and earthquake interacting

Abstract:

In steel megastructures welding is a widely used and accepted joining technique. However, welds are geometrical discontinuities, resulting in severe local stress gradients, which strongly affect the fatigue strength of components. Advanced fatigue assessments are usually based on the local stress and strain state in the close neighborhood of such stress raisers. Despite this, current standards are lacking in giving a real guidance on how to perform a reliable fatigue assessment. Still, most of them do not refer to any local concept and lead to the nominal stress method. Even so, no recommendat

However, because of the different cultural and language settings of different countries, these international tests may not be functioning as expected across all the countries.

Abstract:

Context: The newest standard in video coding High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) should have an appropriate coder to fully use its potential. There are a lot of video quality assessment methods. These methods are necessary to establish the quality of the video. Objectives: This thesis is a comparison of video quality assessment methods. Objective is to find out which objective method is the most similar to the subjective method. Videos used in tests are encoded in the H.265/HEVC standard. Methods: For testing MSE, PSNR, SSIM methods there is special software created in MATLAB. For VQM method d

Abstract:

Groundwater vulnerability maps are considered as an essential component for sustainable environmental planning and management. Statistical methods are increasingly being used to produce scientifically defensible groundwater vulnerability maps which meaningfulness and reliability however must be carefully evaluated before being distributed. The Weigth of Evidence method (WofE) was used for assessing groundwater vulnerability to nitrate contamination of two different aquifers with the aim of testing its robustness as exploratory and predictive tool and addressing more general issues related to

Abstract:

Position weight matrices (PWMs) have become a tool of choice for the identification of transcription factor binding sites in DNA sequences. PWMs are compiled from experimentally verified and aligned binding sequences. PWMs are then used to computationally discover novel putative binding sites for a given protein. DNA-binding proteins often show degeneracy in their binding requirement, the overall binding specificity of many proteins is unknown and remains an active area of research. Although PWMs are more reliable predictors than consensus string matching, they generally result in a high numb

Abstract:

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD<br>Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) converts chemical energy from the electrochemical reaction of oxygen and hydrogen into electrical while emitting heat, oxygen depleted air (ODA) and water as by-products. The by-products have useful functions in aircrafts, such as heat that can be used for ice prevention, deoxygenated air for fire retardation and drinkable water for use on board. Consequently, the PEMFC is also studied to optimize recovery of the useful products. Despite the progress made, durability and reliability remain key challenges to the fuel cell

Abstract:

An extensive review of probabilistic techniques in fatigue analysis indicates that there is a need for new microstructure-sensitive methods in describing the effects of notches on the fatigue life reduction in cyclically loaded components. Of special interest are notched components made from polycrystalline nickel-base superalloys, which are used for high temperature applications in aircraft gas turbine engine disks. Microstructure-sensitive computational crystal plasticity is combined with novel probabilistic techniques to determine the probability of failure of notched components based on th
