    Search for Supersymmetry in Like Sign Dilepton Events in 2010 GMS Data

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Bakhshiansohi, Hamed (Author) ; Ardalan, Farhad (Supervisor) ; Pape, Luc (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    We search for supersymmetry in the same-sign dilepton final state in the first 35 pb1 of data collected by the CMS detector and find no evidence of new physics at this point. Since true same-sign physics backgrounds, such asWWjj, are negligible for this amount of integrated luminosity, we focus our attention on data-driven estimations of the backgrounds where one (W+jets and tt backgrounds) or both of the leptons (QCD background) are fake. We use the generalized fake ratio method documented to estimate the rates for these fake backgrounds. Another source of backgrounds in the case of electrons is the charge-flip, where the charge of one of the electrons in an opposite-sign di-electron pair... 

    Fault effect analysis of the exhaust manifold leakage for a turbocharged spark ignition engine

    , Article Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering ; Vol. 228, issue. 8 , 2014 , pp. 970-984 ; ISSN: 09544070 Salehi, R ; Vossoughi, G ; Alasty, A ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Fault monitoring in internal-combustion engines is crucial for keeping the vehicle performance within the acceptable standards of emission levels and drivers' demands. This paper analyses how a vehicle's performance and engine variables are affected by a leakage fault in the exhaust manifold. The threshold leakage that causes the vehicle to exceed the emission standards is determined for a class M1 vehicle tested on a chassis dynamometer over the New European Driving Cycle. It is shown that, when a leakage of 6 mm diameter on the exhaust manifold is introduced, the vehicle emissions exceed those specified in the European 2013 on-board diagnostics standard. In addition, the effects of the... 

    Optimisation of full-toroidal continuously variable transmission in conjunction with fixed ratio mechanism using particle swarm optimisation

    , Article Vehicle System Dynamics ; Volume 51, Issue 5 , Feb , 2013 , Pages 671-683 ; 00423114 (ISSN) Delkhosh, M ; Foumani, M. S ; Sharif University of Technology
    2013
    Abstract
    The aim of this research is the optimisation of full-toroidal continuously variable transmission (CVT) in conjunction with the fixed ratio (FR) mechanism, while the optimisation objective is to minimise fuel consumption (FC) of the vehicle in the new European driving cycle. After the dynamic analysis of the power train, a computer model is developed to simulate contact between CVT elements and consequently calculate its efficiency. Then an algorithm is presented to calculate FC of the vehicle in the driving cycle. Then, an optimisation using particle swarm optimisation on the CVT geometry and FR mechanism (which is embedded between CVT and final drive) is carried out to minimise FC. It is... 

    Balancing management of strategic aggregators using non-cooperative game theory

    , Article Electric Power Systems Research ; Volume 184 , 2020 Rayati, M ; Bozorg, M ; Ranjbar, A. M ; Cherkaoui, R ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier Ltd  2020
    Abstract
    The aggregators are intermediary players at the distribution system level. They manage the financial transactions of resources such as micro-turbines (MTs), photo-voltaic (PV) production systems, flexible demands (FDs), and must-run demands (MDs) in the energy market. Based on the regulation of many transmission system operators (TSOs) in European countries, an aggregator is obliged to be assigned to a balancing group (BG) represented by a balancing group manager (BGM). The TSO measures the energy imbalances at the BG level. Meanwhile, the BGM is responsible for the management of financial transactions between the aggregators and the TSO. The strategic aggregators can establish a common BG...

    Abstract
    3g wireless communication is the next version of mobile networks. Load balancing in networks causes efficient using of network resources. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for load balancing of Radio Network Controllers (RNCs) in Radio Access Networks (RANs). As the characteristics of connections between RNCs and BTSs in a RAN are similar to those of graphs, we make use of graphs to solve our problem. The algorithm is based on the finding a path by which the RNCs could exchange their overloads. By using these paths the algorithm load balances the RNCs in an efficient and fast way. By testing our algorithm on networks with different topology and comparing the results, the...

    Measurement of the B-Tagging Efficiency in the CMS Experiment with the First LHC Collisions

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Jafari, Abideh (Author) ; Ardalan, Farhad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Jets originating from bottom (b) quarks, play an important role in the study of Standard Model processes together with the search for new physics. In the CMS experiment a considerable e?ort is dedicated to the development and the performance study of so-called b-tagging algorithms. On the other hand, the top quark which is produced in pair (tt¯) with a high rate at the LHC, decays near 99% of the time to a b-quark. Hence it provides a rich source of b-quark jets, suitable for b-jet identi?cation studies. In this thesis, a fully data-driven method to measure the b-tagging e?ciency, using top quark events in its semi-electron ?nal state, is developed. The results of the application of the...

    Combined model of mass-transfer coefficients for clean and contaminated liquid-liquid systems

    , Article Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research ; Volume 50, Issue 8 , 2011 , Pages 4608-4617 ; 08885885 (ISSN) Haghdoost, A ; Dehkordi, A. M ; Darbandi, M ; Shahalami, M ; Saien, J ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Mass-transfer rates to and from drops in liquid-liquid extraction processes are often reduced by the presence of contaminants. To design an industrial extractor, it is essential to consider this contamination effect in a quantitative manner. To achieve this goal, an experimental investigation was conducted on the mass transfer into single drops for n-butanol-succinic acid-water, as the recommended test system by the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE). The effects of anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS), cationic (dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, DTMAC), and nonionic (octylphenol decaethylene glycol ether, Triton X-100) surfactants on the hydrodynamic and mass-transfer...

    Abstract
    Emission factors (EFs) are fundamental, necessary data for air pollution research and scenario implementation. With the vision of generating national EFs of the Iranian transportation system, a portable emission measurement system (PEMS) was used to develop the basic EFs for a statistically significant sample of Iranian gasoline-fueled privately owned light duty vehicles (LDVs) operated in Tehran. A smaller sample size of the same fleet was examined by chassis dynamometer (CD) bag emission measurement tests to quantify the systematic differences between the PEMS and CD methods. The selected fleet was tested over four different routes of uphill highways, flat highways, uphill urban streets,...

    , Article Environmental Science and Technology ; Volume 51, Issue 15 , 2017 , Pages 8481-8490 ; 0013936X (ISSN) Amini, H ; Schindler, C ; Hosseini, V ; Yunesian, M ; Künzli, N ; Sharif University of Technology
    American Chemical Society  2017
    Abstract
    Land use regression (LUR) has not been applied thus far to ambient alkylbenzenes in highly polluted megacities. We advanced LUR models for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, p-xylene, m-xylene, o-xylene (BTEX), and total BTEX using measurement based estimates of annual means at 179 sites in Tehran megacity, Iran. Overall, 520 predictors were evaluated, such as The Weather Research and Forecasting Model meteorology predictions, emission inventory, and several new others. The final models with R2 values ranging from 0.64 for p-xylene to 0.70 for benzene were mainly driven by traffic-related variables but the proximity to sewage treatment plants was present in all models indicating a major local...
