    , Article Utilitas Mathematica Publishing Incorporated ; 2007, Vol. 72, pp. 163-174 Eshghi, K. (Kourosh) ; Azimi, Parham ; Sharif University Of Technology
    Abstract
    Graceful labeling is one of the best known labeling methods of graphs. Despite the large number of papers published on the subject of graph labeling, there are few particular techniques to be used by researchers to gracefully label graphs. In this paper, first a new approach based on the mathematical programming technique is presented to model the graceful labeling problem. Then a “branching method” is developed to solve the problem for special classes of graphs. Computational results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm for different classes of graphs. One of the interesting results of our model is in the class of trees. The largest tree known to be graceful has at most 27 vertices...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Azimi, Fatemeh (Author) ; Tajrishy, Masoud (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    At Lake Urmia (LU) greatest extent, it was the largest lake in the Middle East and the sixth-largest saltwater lake on Earth, with a surface area of approximately 5,200 km2. The lake has shrunk to 10% of its former size due to damming of the rivers that flow into it, and the pumping of groundwater from the surrounding area. Moreover, as the lake shriks its potentional to be a major dust sources increases. A Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model was used to investigate and track the extent of dust emission and aerosol concentration over Lake Urmia marginal dust spots in order to identify the affected and critical areas.

    Abstract
    Drilling Operations constitute more than fifty percent of total costs of well construction operations. Due to this fact, optimization of drilling operations could have significant effect on decrease in total costs of well construction. It is mentioning worthy that there are a variety of parameters which affect drilling operations from the view point of optimization. In many cases several of those aforementioned parameters are contrary in nature. Thus obtaining an integrated approach to optimize the operation by considering these effects is necessity. The goal of this thesis is to investigate different influential parameters of drilling operation optimization and to develop computer-based...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Azimi, Arvin (Author) ; Jahangir, Amir Hossein (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Many congestion control protocols proposed so far to alleviate the problems encountered by TCP protocol in high-speed networks and wireless links have to estimate the parameters of the network. For example, the TCP WESTWOOD congestion window is adjusted based on available bandwidth estimation, or TCP Vegas detects the congestion status based on RTT (Round Trip Time) estimation, and XCP protocol operates according to network traffic load. In this paper, we proposed a novel estimation algorithm that is based on burst identification techniques in router. we show through analysis and simulation that during burst periods this method can estimate the congestion window size of the specific flow... 

    Evaluation of Effect of Phreatic Line Level on Stability of Uupstream Tailings Dams

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Azimi Hassani, Nikoo (Author) ; Pak, Ali (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Tailings dams are considered as one of the most important geotechnical structures and due to the large amount of contaminated tailings deposited behind the dam, any failure of these structures, apart from loss of lives and properties, can be an environmental disaster. Researches show that most of the failure incidents in the last few decades have happened in tailings dams constructed using upstream method. As a result, it is of great significance to study the stability of upstream tailings dams.
    The place of the phreatic line in the dam body plays a critical role in stability of tailings dams. Soil-atmosphere interaction effects such as precipitation, runoff, interception, infiltration,...

    Abstract
    Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography and flame ionization detection combined with unfolded-partial least squares is proposed as a simple, fast and reliable method to assess the quality of gasoline and to detect its potential adulterants. The data for the calibration set are first baseline corrected using a two-dimensional asymmetric least squares algorithm. The number of significant partial least squares components to build the model is determined using the minimum value of root-mean square error of leave-one out cross validation, which was 4. In this regard, blends of gasoline with kerosene, white spirit and paint thinner as frequently used adulterants are used to make...
