An algorithm for finding a feasible solution of graph labeling problems [electronic resource]
, Article Utilitas Mathematica Publishing Incorporated ; 2007, Vol. 72, pp. 163-174 ; 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...

Abstract
In this study a more precise formulation of electrical capacitance for a cylindrical capacitive sensor is reported. By using different theoretical models such as Coulomb law, Gauss law and Laplace equation the electrical capacitance is calculated. Based on the given models the relation between the capacitance and the geometrical parameters (e.g., cylindrical length) is formulated and by using suitable software capacitance variation is computed and compared for different methods. In Coulomb method, the electrical potential is first solved numerically by using Mathematica and then the electrical capacitance is computed. It is found that the active capacitor length is crucial parameter in the...
Investigation of Dust Emission Paths Over Lake Urmia Local Dust Spots Using the HYSPLIT Model
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; 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. Also, percent movement, propagation...
Integrated Drilling Oprations Optimization
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jamshidi, Saeid (Supervisor)
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...

Abstract
Usage of masonry system in many regions of the world like the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East, India, and China is still significantly high, despite their highly energy and intensive emission. Most of the failures in this system are caused by low ductility of cement mortars. This type of failure could be seen in masonry structures in areas in east Iran after Kermanshah earthquake in 2017. The present study investigates the shear bond characteristics of structures constructed by masonry using green materials. “Taftan” natural pozzolan and two types of rice husk ash (RHA) were used in mix design of used mortars as green materials.

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Tavazoei, Mohamad Saleh (Supervisor)
Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is presenting some decoupling methods for fractional-order two input-two outputs (TITO) systems in order to using in control applications. To achieve this purpose, some methods which have been proposed for decoupling of integer-order systems have been studied and then generalized to be used in decoupling of the fractional-order systems. These methods are classified in two classes: state space based methods and transfer function based methods. Also, in this thesis the proposed decoupling methods have been used in control of some fractional-order TITO systems
Estimation of Network Parameters for use in Congestion Control Algorithm
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; 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 ; 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...

Abstract
We study critical properties of the continuous Abelian sandpile model with anisotropies in toppling rules that produce ordered patterns on it. Also, we consider the continuous directed sandpile model perturbed by a weak quenched randomness, study critical behavior of the model using perturbative conformal field theory, and show that the model has a random fixed point. © 2009 The American Physical Society

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is one of the most important factors for mortality and morbidity in the world. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is applied for treatment of this disease which in this surgery, the patient vessels, such as internal thoracic artery and saphenous vein, are harvested and grafted to the coronary arteries. The graft success and its performance in short and long-term are depended on the much factors e.g. the severity of stenosis in the coronary artery. It should be noted that the low level of stenosis in the coronary artery causes the creation of undesirable phenomenon of competitive flow in the grafts after the surgery which this phenomenon has been reported as a cause of graft...
