Data Stream Classification in Presence of Concept Drift Using Ensemble Learning
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Beigy, Hamid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Traditional classification techniques of machine learning assume that data have stationary distributions. This assumption for recent challenges where tremendous amount of data are generated at unprecedented rates with evolving patterns, is not true anymore. Classification of data streams has become an important area of machine learning, as the number of applications facing these challenges increases. Examples of such data streams applications include text streams, surveillance video streams, credit card fraud detection, market basket analysis, information filtering, computer security, etc. An appropriate method for such problems should adapt to drifting concepts by revising and refining the...
Scientific and Philosophical Foundations of “Multiverse” Idea
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Golshani, Mehdi (Supervisor)
Abstract
Isn’t our universe ,which includes everything that is causally connected to us, a tiny and negligible part of wider and diverse “multiple universes”? Although the multiverse idea has been considered by scientists recently, it had been discussed by philosophers and theologians in the past.
Many of our physical theories,whether being accepted like General Relativity, or speculative like string theory, lead naturally to the multiverse idea .The idea of multiverse is also brought forth to take care of the fine tuning observed in cosmology, in connection with the so – called anthropic principle.
This idea appeared in order to answer to some problems of quantum mechanics, string theory...

New drift detection method for data streams
, Article Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics) ; Volume 6943 LNAI , 2011 , Pages 88-97 ; 03029743 (ISSN) ; 9783642238567 (ISBN) ; Beigy, H ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Correctly detecting the position where a concept begins to drift is important in mining data streams. In this paper, we propose a new method for detecting concept drift. The proposed method, which can detect different types of drift, is based on processing data chunk by chunk and measuring differences between two consecutive batches, as drift indicator. In order to evaluate the proposed method we measure its performance on a set of artificial datasets with different levels of severity and speed of drift. The experimental results show that the proposed method is capable to detect drifts and can approximately find concept drift locations

Energy-aware Task Mapping and Scheduling in Mixed-criticality Multi-core Embedded Systems
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hessabi, Shaahin (Supervisor)
Abstract
Mixed-criticality embedded systems, as the next-generation of safety-critical systems, are increasingly employed in industry due to consolidating functionalities with varying criticality levels onto the same computing platform. Also, cost reduction and performance improvement encourage adoption of multicore platforms in these systems. Technology scaling, battery-supplied design and heavy computation in mixed-criticality systems necessitates employing energy management techniques. Due to the degrading effects of these techniques on the system’s reliability, reducing energy consumption without sacrificing the reliability requirement is a vital challenge in mixed-criticality systems, in...

Abstract
This paper addresses the phase transformations and mechanical performance of dissimilar resistance spot welds between 2304 duplex stainless steel (DSS) and 1.2-GPa martensitic (MS) advanced high-strength steel (AHSS). The solidification mode and transformation path of the fusion zone (FZ) were analyzed. The key metallurgical feature of the FZ was the formation of a duplex microstructure consisting of delta ferrite and martensite. The FZ size at the sheet/sheet interface was the critical factor controlling the fraction of pullout failure during the partial thickness-partial pullout mode, the load-bearing capacity, and the energy absorption capability of the DSS/MS dissimilar resistance spot...
Increasing Operating Range of Wideband Reconnaissance Receivers, by Using Antenna Arrays
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Behnia, Fereidoon (Supervisor)
Abstract
Passive wideband reconnaissance receivers, listen to the radio and radar signals in the environment and estimate their important parameters such as direction of arrival (DOA). The wideband attribute for these receivers is to refer to their ability to receive wideband signals.Due to the use of processing gain, LPI radars reduce their transmitted signal power to see and not to be seen. On the other hand reconnaissance receivers can not have much processing gain, because they do not know the nature of the transmitted signal; Therefore, to increase the operational range of these systems, it is necessary to increase the signal to noise power ratio (SNR). This thesis examines the use of antenna...

Abstract
In this paper, the effect of silica nanoparticles on oil production due to the spontaneous imbibition of brine into oil-wet sandstones has been studied. The imbibed fluids were NaCl 3 wt. % solutions containing various concentrations of nanoparticles and the recovered oil for each solution was compared. The results revealed that nanoparticles yielded more oil recovery. Nanofluid was used after brine imbibition, and the oil recovery increased from 17.8% to 40% while in the case of using the same nanofluid as the first imbibed fluid the oil recovery was 53%. Also, the results indicated that the oil recovery depends on nanoparticle concentrations. © 2019, © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC

Abstract
We have reported a new and efficient synthesis of tetrahydrothiopyrano [2,3-b]indole skeletons via unique tandem reaction of indoline-2-thiones to Baylis-Hillman adduct acetates. This protocol is a very mild and simple method for construction heterocycles in a one-step process. This is a convenient and diastereoselective synthesis of methyl 4-aryl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydrothiopyrano[2,3-b]indole-3-carboxylate systems in the presence of K2CO3 in acetonitrile. The major benefits of the current study are the one-pot procedure, high yields and diastereoselectivity, short reaction times and the similarity of the products to the biologically active moieties.

Ranking of hazardous road locations in two-lane two-way Rural roads with no crash record
, Article ATRF 2011 - 34th Australasian Transport Research Forum ; 2014 ; Mesbah, M ; Sobhani, A ; Sharif University of Technology
2014
Abstract
Crash data availability is a significant requirement for identifying hazardous roads. However, for roads with poor data sets or no crash record, a method is needed to find and rank road segments independent of the crash records. In this paper, an auditing based methodology is proposed to determine the hazardous locations. A Rural road is investigated by decomposing it first into six elements, and then into safety factors corresponding to each element. The elements are: straight segments, horizontal and vertical curves, bridges, tunnels, merges and intersections, and side road land use. The relative contribution of the elements to the safety of a road segment is determined using the...
Pupil Detection and Eye Tracking
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Babaie Zadeh, Massoud (Supervisor)
Abstract
About a century, “Eye Tracking” has been studied, and it has two definitions: • The process of measuring the point of gaze (where one is looking). • The process of measuring the motion of an eye relative to the head. Eye tracking technology has been used in many fields such as psychology. However, applications of this technology has been recently considered in marketing, computer interfacing, entertainment, training and so forth. Since pupil is a distinc area in eye images, pupil detection is one of the effective solutions of eye tracking. In most of the pupil detection approaches, the edge points of the pupil contour are detected firstly, and then the optimal ellipse is fitted to them....

Abstract
In this paper a new method for generating twisted terahertz radiation is proposed. The generation of twisted terahertz radiation in a plasma vortex, where the plasma density profile has helical structure, is investigated. The method is described on the basis of angular momentum exchange between plasma vortex and laser beam. The interaction of the vortex plasma and photons causes the laser angular momentum to change. Twisted terahertz radiation is produced at the beat frequency of laser and electron plasma waves. In this process, for Gaussian laser modes, the angular momentum of terahertz wave derives from the plasma vortex, while for the Laguerre-Gaussian it originates in the difference in...

Abstract
In this paper, the pump depletion and cross-focusing effects on the generation of twisted terahertz radiation are investigated. Based on the beating of two Laguerre-Gaussian lasers in a radial plasma channel, a twisted terahertz radiation can be produced. In the presence of pump depletion, the lasers power is consumed. So, the ponderomotive force nonlinearity decreases and the output terahertz field approaches to a saturation value. Under competition between the diffraction and nonlinearity effects, the amplitude of laser beam width oscillation grows. When the incident laser beams have non-similar topological charge numbers, the normalized generated terahertz amplitude is low and the pump...

An integrated two-level demand-side management game applied to smart energy hubs with storage
, Article Energy ; Volume 206 , 2020 ; Sheykhha, S ; Madlener, R ; Sharif University of Technology
Elsevier Ltd
2020
Abstract
Energy hubs, an important component of future energy networks employing distributed demand-side management, can play a key role in enhancing the efficiency and reliability of power grids. In power grids, energy hub operators need to optimally schedule the consumption, conversion, and storage of available resources based on their own utility functions. In sufficiently large networks, scheduling an individual hub can affect the utility of the other energy hubs. In this paper, the interaction between energy hubs is modeled as a congestion game. Each energy hub operator (player) participates in a dynamic energy pricing market and tries to maximize his/her own payoff when satisfying energy...
On the star arboricity of hypercubes
, Article Australasian Journal of Combinatorics ; Vol. 59, Issue. 2 , 2014 , pp. 282-292 ; ISSN: 1034-4942 ; Mahmoodian, E. S ; Sobhani, N. K ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
A hypercube Qn is a graph in which the vertices are all binary vectors of length n, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their components differ in exactly one place. A galaxy or a star forest is a union of vertex disjoint stars. The star arboricity of a graph G, sa(G), is the minimum number of galaxies which partition the edge set of G. In this paper among other results, we determine the exact values of sa(Qn) for n ∈ {2k - 3, 2k + 1, 2k + 2, 2i + 2j - 4}, i ≥ j ≥ 2. We also improve the last known upper bound of sa(Qn) and show the relation between sa(G) and square coloring

Abstract
In the present study, titanium nano-particles have been synthesized using chemical vapor condensation (CVC) process. Reaction of sodium and titanium tetrachloride vapors in the tube furnace resulted in the production of titanium nano-particles that were encapsulated in sodium chloride. Dried Argon gas was employed as a carrying agent. Titanium nano-particles were contained in an ethanol bath. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) were employed for analysis and characterization of nano-particles. The size of primary particles was smaller than 100 nm and secondary particles were submicron agglomerations
