Embedded SRAM unit is recognized as an important block in the systems on chip. In recent years due to an abrupt increase in the number of such systems which often work with battery, the priority of designing of low power circuits has been increased. Furthermore, increase in the number of transistors in the SRAM and increase in leakage current of MOS transistors with technology scaling have rendered the SRAM into the main energy consumer (from both static and dynamic view).In the writing operation due to the full swing of bit line, the dynamic power forms the main chunk of the consumptive power. The static consumptive power mostly happens due to the leakage current of broken cells in an array... 

Determining the porosity, water saturation and permeability values in the reservoir rock, are major steps in the petroleum engineering and formation evaluation. Today in the oil industry, these parameters are obtained using Helium gas injection technique on core (Plug) samples. However, the coring operation is difficult and costly. In addition, there isn't the possibility of coring in some of wells, such as horizontal wells. In fact, the present research is the modelling of artificial neural networks to estimate permeability in one of the Iranian oil field reservoirs by using oil well logging data. In this research, MLP neural network has been used and for network training, the evolutionary... 

Nowadays, by integrating the Internet of Things systems into the daily life of humans, mankind has created a platform for providing numerous and diverse services through which life has become much simpler and more convenient. These systems have gradually become an integral part of today's life. They are used in many areas of production and service provision, such as healthcare, agricultural industry, supply chain, education system, transportation, and many others. Although these achievements have facilitated human life in many aspects, they are also associated with many security risks. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are methods for predicting possible damage (through security attacks such... 

The explosive growth of battery operated devices has made low-power design a priority in recent years. Moreover, embedded SRAM units have become an important block in modern SoCs. The increasing number of transistor count in the SRAM units and the surging leakage current of the MOS transistors in the scaled technologies have made the SRAM unit a power hungry block from both dynamic and static perspectives. One of the key strategies for reducing power consumption is reducing the supply voltage to near or below the threshold voltage of the transistor. However, as supply voltage decreases to tackle the power consumption, the data stability of the SRAM cells have become a major concern in recent... 

A large number of sensors are spread for monitoring of an area in a random manner. The aim is to have an efficient design for energy that can protect the coverage of the area. A number of sensor nodes that have high density and which are in the area have the duty of monitoring of the area. The aim of this process is to determine of maximum number of separate collections that they have a direct influence upon the life span of the network. The idea behind this approach is that the nodes in areas with low availability are less used as a data routing as well as nodes that have remaining energy. In order to reach this objective, the importance of each sensor node for its duty of protecting... 

Nuclear magnetic resonance is a spectroscopic method which is used to investigate characteristics of molecules with hydrogen and carbon chains. In this thesis we used, NMR spectrum extracted from 19 types of amino acids for investigating on feature generation for protein sequences. We processed NMR spectra based on Hydrogen and Carbon atoms in structure of the amino acids and after preprocessing we extracted features for each amino acid from the spectra. After that, we tried to cluster the amino acids with Fuzzy Clustering Method (FCM) then we generated feature vectors by extracting special descriptor for amino acids in sequence of proteins. In addition to NMR, we used the features of... 

Concerns like fuel cost, pollution and global warming has made it necessary to look for new energy solutions. Renewable and alternative energies have proven themselves to be helpful in this matter. Renewable energy(RE) is the energy that comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat, which are naturally replenished at a constant rate. Renewable energies are environmentally friendly, not cheap at the beginning but naturally available in a constant rate and wide spread, unlike fossil fuels that are localized in the limited places. In this thesis in order to generate environmental friendly power we consider two renewable energy resources: wind and...
