    Effects of Temporal Correlations on Co-infection

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Sajjadi, Ebrahim (Author) ; Ejtehadi, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor) ; Ghanbarnejad, Fakhteh (Co-Supervisor)
    Abstract
    SIS and SIR are common models for describing and predicting the epidemics of the contagious diseases. But these models fail to predict patterns of spreading dynamics in the case of co-infective diseases, i.e. getting infected by one disease, alters the chance of getting infected by the other one. Coinfection has been studied in the mean field approximation and on complex networks with different topologies. Another study shows temporal correlations of the underlying transmission network, play role on co-infection dynamics.In this research we investigate the effects of various temporal correlation on epidemic order parameters of independent infection and co-infection.For this purpose, we... 

    Critical-Item Supply-Chain Using Agent-Based Modelling

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Malaek, Mohammad Matin (Author) ; Haji, Alireza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    One of the crucial matters in the area of Supply Chain Management is the ability of a supply chain to act and react under different circumstances. A helpful tool to understand the supply chain is simulation modeling. With the help of simulation modeling, we can provide the opportunity for the agents in a model to perform based on the defined environment.In the current research, a complete literature review is performed on the topics of supply chain planning and various distribution models and algorithms. With the focus on the vaccine as a critical item, we propose a model to distribute vaccines based on the degree of agents, and we realize that vaccine distribution, while facing huge demand...
