Reason and rationality in nuclear deterrence : implementing an approach to nuclear crisis resolution using meta-game theory
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-08)Nuclear deterrence has been an important political goal for decades. It involves a strategy, cooperation and an understanding of the options and rationale of all parties involved. Simulations of these scenarios are very ... -
Rebirth analysis for sustainable design : a theory, method, and tool
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-05) -
Receiver willingness to participate in off-hour service trip programs
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-08)Freight and service trips have significant impacts on parking and congestion in urban areas. Although service trips are less frequent than freight trips, they often take longer and thus have disproportionate negative ... -
Recent applications of Nash equilibria.
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-12) -
Recent changes in industrial structure : copper, lead, zinc, and iron and steel
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1986-08)All four minerals have seen a breakdown of the domestic oligopolies to more competitive price structures. This is due to world oversupply and slow growth of demand. The oversupply can be attributed to the increase in the ... -
Recent trends of polychlorinated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in the Hudson river basin

Recollecting La Technique : industrial heritage sites and the rhetoric of technology
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-08)Industrial heritage sites are locations that exemplify both public memory and the rhetoric of technology. In this dissertation, I interpret three examples of industrial heritage sites to identify and characterize their ... -
Recombination dynamics in Si-doped AlGaN and ultraviolet light-emitting diodes grown on sapphire and bulk AlN substrates by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-12) -
Reconsidering the fringe : housing development strategies
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-08) -
Reconstructing paleoenvironments in the paleogene: microfossils on the paleocontinental coastal plain
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)Since 66.05 million years ago (i.e., the start of the Paleogene; 66.05-23 Myr), the Earth has undergone significant development. As such, the latest Paleocene to Eocene (~56-37 Myr) greenhouse world is the focus of this ... -
Reconstructing past ocean circulation and chemistry using benthic foraminifera : traditional and novel approaches
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-08)Benthic foraminiferal stable oxygen and carbon isotopes (δ18Obf and δ13Cbf) are tools used to investigate paleocirculation changes. In Chapters One and Two, δ18Obf and δ13Cbf are utilized to study the changes in ocean ... -
Reconstruction of tomographic images corrupted by a slice sensitivity profile with applications to the inspection of manufactured items
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-05) -
Recovery of crystalline and optoelectronic properties in Si(100) after focused ion beam implantation of Ga+ and annealing

Reduced order constrained optimization : application to IMRT planning
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)The major drawback of the method continues to be the time-consuming process of generating treatment plans, which increases when dealing with complex treatment sites such as the lung or head-and-neck. At RPI, a novel method ...
