Suppose the edges of a graph G are assigned 3-element lists of real weights. Is it possible to choose a weight for each edge from its list so that the sums of weights around adjacent vertices were different?
A graph G = (V;E) is called (k; k′)-total weight choosable if the following holds: For any total list assignment L which assigns to each vertex x a set L(x) of k real numbers, and assigns to each edge e a set L(e) of k′ real numbers, there is a mapping f : V [ E ! R such that f(y) 2 L(y) for any y 2 V [ E and for any two adjacent vertices x; x′
Σ e2E(x) f(e) + f(x) ̸=Σ e2E(x′) f(e) + f(x′)
Is it possible every graph is (2, 2)-total weight choosable and every... 

Masonry infills are vastly used as surrounding walls and partitions. Presence of infill in a building causes some change in strength, stiffness, period and generally seismic behavior of the structure.Mainly there are 5 modes of failure including 1- interface cracking 2- sliding along bed joint 3- diagonal cracking 4- corner crushing and 5- ultimate failure. According to these failures, three stages of strength as shear strength, corner strength and ultimate strength can be defined.Diagonal crack can be calculated by slip surface method grown in Sharif university of Technology. Based on this method the strength of infill wall falls down as the cohesive strength of mortar loses and so the slip... 

The purpose of this research is evaluating of how the concrete filled composite tube column performs. Nowadays in the construction industry, a new kind of composite column called concrete filled composite tube (CFCT) columns, have become very common. Concrete and composite tubes posses’ complementary performance. Because on one hand, the composite tube makes proper confinement for concrete, on the other hand the concrete prevents internal and local buckling of the composite tube. One of the major advantages of the concrete filled composite tube columns compare to the reinforced concrete column is that there is no further need for reinforcement and molding, which results in swifter... 

In this research, modelling of pyrolysis in small-scale and a method for calculation of kinetic parameters; activation energy, pre-exponential factor, and model function, have been presented. Calculation of activation energy and frequency factor without any assumption on model function heve been done by presented method. Because, incorrect assumption on model function can be cause to error in estimated values of activation energy and frequency factor.For a bench-scale sample, the heat transfer and mass conservations equations influence the pyrolysis process. In this research for the investigation of kinetic parameter effects, a simple pyrolysis model was presented to predicting the mass flux... 

The use of microorganisms to remove or produce a substace is a fundamental part of biotechnology. An example is the bioreactors for phenol removal in wastewater. Biological processes are commonly done in batch reactors in which suspended cells grow in the liquid phase. The batch process needs alternate reactor washes and alternate cell cultivation, which leades to a longer time constant for for each batch. If these reactors operate in continuous conditions, the cells will leave the reactor in liquid flow, and high cell concentrations will be impossible. The biofilm layer makes a batch phase, so the liquid phase flows in and out continuously, but the cells in the biofilm layer stay in the... 

Cancer has been known as one of the main reasons for disease-related deaths in the last decades. Early diagnosis could significantly reduce the level of fatality chances. Among the known cancer types, lung cancer is one of the most malignant ones. The common diagnosticmethods are expensive and using high-technology methods; therefore, the introduction of simple and cheap methods is very urgent to detect it. In this project, surface and interfacial tension measurement of cancerous and normal lung cells have been investigated as an easy detection technique. Among the common measurement methods, Pendant Drop and Capillary height techniques have been utilized in this research work. The obtained... 

Permeability is an essential parameter used for reservoir evaluation, simulation and management to optimize oil recovery. The conventional approach to estimate reservoir connectivity, conductivity, sweep efficiency and other critical information for decision-making is to build detailed geological models, which are then upscaled to a coarser grid where flow simulations are run. However, this takes many hours to be carried out even for a single realization practically. In practice, a very small number of realizations are considered and consequently the true uncertainty in the results is very poorly estimated. In this study, a statistical model of isotropic overlying sandbodies is used to... 

Metabonomics is a quantitative measurement of time dependent metabolic interactions for living systems in response to the pathological or genetic variations. NMR spectroscopy has emerged as a key tool for understanding metabolic processes in living systems. In this project, the study of metabolomics was performed as classification and regression on samples of parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis disease, celiac disease and crohn’s disease. In classification part, various methods were applied using optimal parameters.classification methods in Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis disease, celiac disease and crohn’s disease were RF, CART, PLS-DA, RF and RF respectively. Based on the...
