Most of the nuclear codes used equivalence between a homogeneous and heterogeneous region to calculate resonance shelf-shielding. when fuels are together in a lattice arrangement, As a good approximation in the resonance shelf-shielding calculation, one could only consider a single fuel lump and consider the effect of neighbor fuels with a correction factor, i.e. the Dancoff coefficient. So far, several methods have used for calculating the Dancoff coefficient, but accuracy of these methods did not improved. In this thesis a computer program (MCDAN-3D) is developed for calculation of the multi-dimension and multi-group black and gray Dancoff coefficient, based on Monte Carlo, escape... 

Since the number of Internet users for the services such as e-applications is increasing rapidly, authentication constrains more latency as well as load to the system. It is due to large number of users whose identity needs to be checked and compared individually, and the number of simultaneous authentication requests in a specific time. To solve the stated issues, this thesis proposes a new definition of group authentication and describes group authentication protocols. Group authentication is the verification of identity of multiple requests of users at the same time. In this protocol, the authentication server inputs the multiple authentication requests in a function, and then applies... 

In this thesis, a Segmented Gama Scanning System for measuring total activity of the low/intermediate level radioactive waste drums is designed and a prototype 3-segmented commercial system is manufactured by using NaI detectors. The optimum distance of detector from drum surface and the optimum number of detectors on reconstruction of the radioactivity of the waste drum were studied by MCNP simulations. In addition, the effects of inhomogeneous distribution of radioactivity, the addition of lead filters to detectors, the change in collimator length and the asymmetrical placement of a drum on the rotary plate were also examined by the MCNP calculations. In the absence of a real radioactive... 

Nowadays, multifunctional two-dimensional (2D) nanostructured materials due to their important role in biomedical and nanotechnological developments have gained the attention of many engineers and scientists with a wide spectrum of disciplines. The present work aims to provide an accurate description of the tensile behavior (from the initial unloaded state through axial strain of about 0.25) of the planar as well as low-buckled stanene and to capture their ideal strength in armchair- and zigzag-directions. Stanene is 2D hexagonal lattice which belongs to D6 hcrystal class having a six-fold rotational symmetry. For an accurate description of anisotropic response of such hyperelastic materials... 

The existance of Dark Matter (DM)has been proved by cosmological and astronomical observation. Yet, all the evidences are based on gravitational effects. It is plausible that DM has a gravitational nature. Any creature with a pure gravitational essence has a chance to bea DM candidate. Primordial Black holes are formed from the density perturbations that are induced by the quantum fluctuations of the vaccum during the inflationary expansion. It is probable that these creatures are the solution of DM problem. By holding the power spectrum that generates the abundance of PBH with the one resulting from observation based on the presumed inflationary model in common, considering the...

NMR spectroscopy as a powerful technique is often used to investigate on structural and conformational studies on proteins and drug compounds. In this work, conformations and structural properties of drug compounds and some nucleoside derivations have been studied using advanced NMR techniques including H-H COSY, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY and quantum based calculations.Experimental analysis on Valsartan show that there are two simultaneous conformers (M and m) with unequal population in M-m type solvents and two stable conformers (N and n) in the N-n type solvents. As the results show, different intramolecular hydrogen bond is the reason for stability af all available conformers. In the... 

In many problems, the traditional elasticity cannot predict phenomenon such as nano-scale defects, surface effects, and stress concentration correctly. For example, analysis near the crack tip, dislocation and inhomogeneity shows inconsistent results because in this case values of stress go to infinity. Therefore for solving these kinds of problems, higher order continuum theories were introduced. The appearance of additional constants in the equations of motion can represent the atomic nature of materials. Furthermore, they can be utilized for determining properties of materials vibration with high frequency, granular materials, and polymers.First strain gradient theory introduced by... 

Burnup calculations based on the Monte Carlo method have been developed in line with the improvements in computing technology. Nowadays, in the field of nuclear reactor physics, it is possible to perform burnup calculation in a detailed 3D geometry and continuous energy description by the Monte Carlo method. COMB is a fully automated code in DELPHI 7 that links the MCNP4C Monte Carlo transport code with the radioactive decay and burnup calculation code system, ORIGEN2.1. The principal function of COMB is first to transfer one-group cross sections and fluxes from MCNP4C to ORIGEN2.1, and then transfer the resulting material compositions (after irradiation and/or decay) from ORIGEN2.1 back to... 

Radiation therapy is a treatment modality that is used in treatment of most newly diagnosed cancer patients. In this method the interaction of radiation with matter and their biological effects is used for cancer treatment. The energy and intensity of the radiation in radiotherapy should be considered in order to have a lethal effect on tumors. Linear accelerators are substitutes for previous methods of radiotherapy in all over the world. These machines can work in both electron and photon mode. The Monte Carlo technique has become ubiquitous in medical physics in the last 50 years. The range of applications is very broad in medical physics. The increased use of Monte Carlo techniques is... 

Kinetics and mechanism of 4,4-dicyano-5-ethyl-1,5-heptadiene rearrangement reaction, a pericyclic type reaction, were studied with ab initio calculations in gas and solution phases. This reaction is one of the cope rearrangement in which secondary kinetic isotope effect is observed. Theoretical study on these reactions showed that probability of radicalic mechanism is inconsiderable and reaction proceeds through out a concerted mechanism with cyclic transition state. Isotope effect was studied by replacement of H1, H2 and H4,H5 with deuterium. The isotope effect data confirmed the concerted mechanism. Solvent effects on this reaction were studied by CPCM model. Solvation energies at... 

During years, supersymmetry has been a candidate for resolution of Higgs mass fine-tuning problem that is quadratic dependence of scalar mass radiative correction to UV-physics. So, supersymmetry phenomenology is of great importance. As accelerators have reached energy of 13 TeV in recent years and sparticles have not yet been observed, it is important to have a theory in hand, describing SUSY breaking dynamics with scale of SUSY breaking above the energies currently accessible to accelerators. As a result of mass-sum-rule constraint which holds in theories with spontaneous SUSY breaking at tree level and leads to light sparticles and even tachyonic directions, there are currently no... 

The spin – spin coupling constants have been calculated by the Gaussian 2009 program in order to study the nucleosides conformation. To study the effect of solvent, the calculations were performed in four solvent including water, DMSO, chloroform and Carbon tetrachloride.
