This thesis studies the possible solution to the H0 tension via a dynamical systems approach. The early dark energy (IDE) scenario can somewhat alleviate the Hubble constant tension. On the other hand, postulating a new subdominant EDE in the pre – recombination Universe can also resolve the H0 tension. We introduce a novel model to interweave the early dark energy(EDE) and interacting dark energy-dark matter (IDE) scenarios. In this scenario, the early dark energy emerges naturally by changing the topological class of the phase portrait of the universe dynamics. In particular, an EDE component contributing only 10% of the matter density of the Universe—preferably in the vicinity of the... 

Austenitic stainless steels are the most common kinds of stainless steels. Although these alloys are generally very weldable, there are some problems in join- ing of them using fusion welding. Solidification and liquation cracking or corrosion at grain bound- aries in the heat-affected zone are examples of these problems. Transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding is an important variation of diffusion bonding that has the potential to overcome this problems. Two-step TLP bonding is an ingenious development to form non-planar interface. This method consists of a short-time high temperature heating to melt interlayer followed by isothermal solidification of liquid phase at a lower temperature. In... 

Temerature fluctuation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is one of the key observebles of the modern cosmology. Today, it is widely believed that quantum fluctuation that are stretched to horizon scales during a period of acceleration expansion -- at the onset of evolution of the universe-- are responsible for these perturbations. In the simplest scenarios of the inflation, a scalar field is responsible for both nearly expansional expansion of the universe and the proimordial fluctuations. In this thesis, we investigate the models of inflation with an additional light degree of freedom. In particular, we employ the method of the Effective Field Theory to study the general structure... 

By studying of simulations, it can be seen that the linear point (LP), a point lies midway between the scales associated with the peak and the dip in the correlation function on BAO scales, is a useful window into cosmology and large scale structures rather than baryonic echo peak. Some fundamental features of the LP, been unaffected by redshift space distortions and gravitational non-linear effects, has made it important. I want to find evidences to stability of the LP by utilizing Standard Perturbation Theory through my thesis  

Considering the wide applications of 304 stainless steel in various industries and the existing literature on transient liquid phase bonding of stainless steels with a variety of interlayers, the present work aimed to reduce the bonding time by using a two step bonding method. Faster bonding reduces both energy consumption during bonding and the base metal grain growth. It also leads to a lower reduction in the base metal and joint strength.Due to the melting point of the interlayer, different durations and a temperature of 1200°C were selected for the first step. This temperature was maintained for a specified period of time before it sharply dropped to and remained at 1180°C (the... 

Some widely used drugs such as paclitaxel (PTX) are poorly water soluble. The clinical use of PTX with solubilizer causes side effects. These problems limited its application in treatments. In this work has been studied the effect of β-CD-g-PG (HPCD) hybrid nanomaterials, conjugated PG branches onto β-CD core, on the water solubility of PTX. First HPCD has been synthesized. Then the inclusion complex of PTX with HPCD was prepared. The inclusion complex efficiency for PTX:HPCD complex in 1:25 mole ratio was 87%. Then solubility of PTX with HPCD in water has been determined, showing Ap type phase solubility diagram. Then stability constants were calculated. The first order and second order... 

Simultaneous detection of pH and glucose levels in sweat is a promising tool for early skin disease detection and diabetes diagnosis. Hydrogels have attracted a lot of attention in the field of wearable biosensors due to sweat absorption capability, biocompatibility, and the ability to store enzymes and reagents in their cavities. In this research, we have presented an innovative wearable colorimetric biosensor based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel, which can simultaneously measure pH level (in the range of 3-9) and glucose concentration (in the range of 0.025-0.5 mM) of sweat with the help of machine learning (ML). This wearable sensor consists of two main parts: sensors and a patch, in... 

High-strength low alloy (HSLA) E275 developed specifically for automotive application. Also St12 Steel is used in autobodies. On the other hand the resistance spot weld of dissimilar materials is generally more challenging than that of similar materials due to differences in the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the base metals. The influence of the primary welding parameters affecting the heat input such as; current and time on the morphology, fracture mode, microhardness, and tensile shear load bearing capacity of dissimilar welds between HSLA E275 steel and St12 steel in two different thicknesses (1,2 mm) has been investigated in this study which consisted six group. The... 

Worldwide interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is one of the most dominant cell-based broadband wireless metropolitan access technologies. Packet scheduling algorithm specifies the packet transmission order. In WiMAX standard, packet scheduling algorithm is not defined and its efficient design is left for developers and researchers. The existing researches in the scope of uplink packet scheduling, which is the most challenging packet scheduling scheme, consider only one cell. However the uplink available resources might not be enough when there are many packets that should be scheduled. To solve this problem, we propose an algorithm that uses the load balancing mechanisms that are... 

Entrance of air to close water conduits occurs in many ways. This phenomenon makes displeasing effects on water transport structures. Two-phase flows in closed conduits are studied experimentally, numerically and theoretically. Even after decades, due to the complexity of the subject, these studies still require development and reformation. Numerical and theoretical two-phase models are often limited to a special regime of flow."Volume Of Fluid"(VOF) is a model for non-mixing two-phase flows. "Fluent" software uses this model in this field of flows. Volume of fluid is used successfully in some problems like dam break or rising bubbles. Main disadvantage of this model is distribution of the... 

The purpose of the present study is to plan an industrial system, over a period of 10 years, so that over time, while supplying the required demand, to optimal resource utilization with regard to material reuse and recovery flows of losses as well as the use of renewable resources move to implement the concept of a circular economy. One of the main incentives for the transition to a circular economy is carbon tax policy, which has been taken into account. The results of the decision-making model based on cost and flow constraints indicate that the use of carbon dioxide as a by-product of Pars Petrochemical Extraction Unit in order to produce urea in Pardis petrochemical industry in addition... 

Common fracture treatments include open reduction and intramedullary nailing technology. However, these methods have disadvantages such as intraoperative X-ray radiation, delayed union or nonunion and postoperative rotation. Robots provide a novel solution to the aforementioned problems while having new challenges. The robotic system used in the study by providing more precise motion and exerting higher amount of forces makes the operation procedure more straightforward. In a normal operation 300-400 N of extension force would be needed which is fully provided by the surgen which leads to physical his/her (khastegi), by using the robotic system however, this force is simply provided without... 

In this project, polymer nanocomposites containing graphene oxide were prepared and used for adsorption of several cationic and anionic dyes. In most cases, these nanocomposites were prepared as three-dimentional polymer networks which contain graphene oxide. Nanocomposites with direct grafting of polymer chains onto the surface of graphene oxide were also prepared. Graphene oxide is an oxidized carbonaceous material with unique properties. This material has high surface area, good mechanical strength and various functional groups. Polymeric compounds with different functional groups, structures and properties can be prepared and used. By preparing composites of graphene oxide and polymers,...
