Nowadays in Iran service providers, are using copper lines in access networks. They rent these lines from a governmental telecommunication company during a complicated and time consuming process. In this thesis, the most common access technologies have been analyzed in order to find an alternative solution for copper lines. Based on the studies in this thesis, it is clear that Wimax technology can be an appropriate solution comparing with Wi-Fi and 3G from the point of quality and speed. The UNIDO methodology has been used in this economical assessment (feasibility study). In this methodology, all the running and fixed costs and revenue as well, have been estimated. In the next step,... 

Regarding complexity and wide range use of distribution network structures, loss reduction is possible in case of complete knowledge and suitable approaches. Loss reduction not only can grow GDP but also can improve economic growth. It should have schedule and plan wisely. Thus, in this research, first a region called Yusef Abad in Tehran was selected then the network was assessed completely. During the assessment, the research team determines causes of energy loss and load loss and then measured amount of each one. Then, the loss share of each element of the network determined. Elements of the network consist of transformers, conductors and meters. Then possible solutions for loss reduction... 

Regarding high importance of casing pipes in oil industry also considering that they have not been producing domestically (with specific features), the main object of this research is feasibility study of establishment of a casing pipe threading plant which produces such kind of pipes. Usage of Casing PipesIs defining as a separator between wall of oil well and its core. The operation starts with driving and fixing a casing pipe to the oil well to avoid its collapsing during excavation process , then next casing pipes will be driven to the well and will be fixed to the previous pipes.

This method therefore pollution free and does not have any negative effects on the environment even a considerable amount of water which is extracted from the pulp, istreatment... 

According to authorities and statistical figures, Iran is seriously facing insufficient housing crisis. Studies show that through an increase of 1.5 million units in annual housing construction capacity, this crisis will be overcome in 5 years. Although successful execution of such a big project is not unprecedented in the world, housing experts believe fulfillment of this plan through traditional method of construction in the country is impossible. The country's capacity of industrialized construction which is known as the remedy, is only limited to 2-3% of total construction. Thus development of this approach through financial, legal, ... supports of investment in prefabrication...

Distribution network is a part of the country’s economic that its structure is affected by economic evolutions. Improper operation and irrational structure of distribution system increases the price of goods and services and creates discontent and makes unreasonable expectations in producers and consumers. In addition, it causes severe fluctuations of price, loses of resources, lack of clarity, reduction of purchasing power, turmoil in market operation, and creation of unofficial distribution networks in society. This investigation focuses on analysis of distribution part of dairy products and tends to evaluate prices and presents solutions to reform prices of distribution. This research... 

The present research aims at designing a hybrid powertrain for the urban utility vehicles whose internal combustion engines consume more fuel due to idling during most of the time of their mission in the cities. This design has considered development of a hybrid powertrain with the least changes in the vehicle together with a simultaneous lower cost. At first some experiments were conducted to examine the feasibility of using the hybrid powertrain for the urban utility vehicles. One of the results of this test was the speed of these vehicles in different times of working and we can achieved a standard drive cycle though separate methods by analyzing this result. The drive cycle is one of the... 

It seems that ship scraping industries is a part of economic of under developing countries because in this business the amount of investment and cost is little but benefit is high.Also it can be assume as an important part of marine and supplier for steel industries. The owners of ships and oil carriers save their money by scrapping the aged ships and renewing their marine transportation vehicles and the other benefit is reducing the environmental pollution. This business creating a large amount of job opportunity for workers, for environmental view it could be found that by scrapping the ships and producing scrap steel “which is the most important output of these factories” the mineral work...

For implementing these systems, there are many solutions. Selecting each one depends on conditions and potentials. Implementing integrated systems is expensive task therefore large... 

The market demand of super heavy crude oil is very low due to its determinative both physical and chemical properties. Unfortunately existing refineries in Iran are not capable to refine this kind of crude oil. Marketing issues besides great price difference with other crude oil types leads us to find economical solution for optimal use of this national possession. About 70 percent of super heavy crude oil produced from Soroush and Norouz oil fields is un-refineable materials and to refine this heavy crude oil to refinery products like gasoline or gas oil a refinery with RFCC ( Residual Fluid Catalitic Cracking) technology must be made. Super high Technology and very heavy capital cost...
