Synthesis and Characterization of Vanadium (IV)-SNO & ONO Tridentate Schiff-Base Complexes and Their Applications in Sulfide and Alcohol Oxidation in Ionic Liquid Media
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Bagherzadeh, Mojtaba (Supervisor)
Abstract
In recent years, application of transition metal biphasic catalytic systems for different reactions is an area of intense research activity. Among these reactions, oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones due to their importance as an intermediate in synthesis of organic compounds is a center of interest. Also, the catalytic conversion of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones is a fundamental transformation in both laboratory and industrial synthetic chemistry. From environmental perspectives, the development of new catalytic oxidation systems with molecular oxygen as green oxidant is particularly attractive. In recent years, ionic liquids have been extensively studied...

Abstract
In this project, a novel action recognition method, named Fisherposes, is proposed, which is improved by several space-time (spatio-temporal) methods afterwards. The proposed method utilizes skeleton data obtained from Kinect sensor. First, pre-processing is performed in which the scales of bodies are canceled and the skeletons become aligned in order to make the method robust to location, orientation, and scale of people. In Fisherposes method, every action is defined as a sequence of body poses. Using the training samples for the poses, a Fisher subspace is created which we name it Fisherposes. Moreover, a novel distance measuring function, named regularized Mahalanobis distance, is...

Abstract
In the past few years, laser-assisted methods have greatly influenced biomedical studies due to less invasive ways of treatment and higher precision. New stimuli-responsive drug carriers are still explored by scientists to achieve a better spatiotemporal control of drug carriers by using visible to NIR light instead of phototoxic ultra-violet irradiation. Due to their biocompatibility and high loading capacity of hydrophilic drugs, hydrogels have been used extensively in this area. However, poor cellular uptake and restricted loading of hydrophobic drugs are challenges that should be addressed. In this study, a previously known nanogel system based on chitosan and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)...
Synthesis of Smart Nanocomposites from Chitosan, Functionalized with Gold Nanoparticles and Temperature Sensitive Polymers: Investigation of their Application in Light Responsive Nano Vehicles
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Pourjavadi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
With the fast progress of nanotechnology, targeted drug delivery systems have been widely developed due to decreasing in the drug dosage and subsequently side effects of them into body. These smart systems are able to response to the surroundings stimuli. External stimuli in comparison with internal stimuli are more controllable, and can release drug at the targeted side in the desirable times. In the recent studies, there has been an increasing interest in the usage of LASER as an external stimulus due to high precision, short time response, and suitable practical function. For cancer therapy, several studies have been done by focusing on the hyperthermia effects of gold nanoparticles. In...
Temporal Analysis of Functional Brain Connectivity Using EEG Signals
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mohammadzadeh, Narges Hoda (Supervisor)
Abstract
Human has different emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, etc. Recognizing these emotions plays an important role in human-machine interface. Emotion recognition can be divided into approaches, physiological and non-physiological signals. Non-physiological signals include facial expressions, body gesture, and voice, and physiological signals include electroencephalograph (EEG), electrocardiograph (ECG), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). EEG signal has been absorbed a lot of attention in emotion recognition because recording of EEG signal is easy and it is non-invasive. Analysis of connectivity and interaction between different areas of the brain can provide useful...
Null Controllability and Stabilizability of Compressible Navier-stokes System in One Dimension
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hesaraki, Mahmoud (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis we study the exponential stabilization of the one dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes system, in a bounded interval locally around a constant steady state by a localized distributed control acting only in the velocity equation. In fact this is an analysis of a paper that published by Shirshendu Chowdhury, Debayan Maity, Mithily Ramaswamy and Jean-Pierre Raymond in Journal of Differential Equations. We determine a linear feedback law able to stabilize a nonlinear transformed system. Coming back to the original nonlinear system, we obtain a nonlinear feedback law able to stabilize locally this nonlinear system. The result is providing feedback control laws stabilizing...
Heegaard Floer Homology and Degree-One-Maps Between 3-Manifolds
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Fanai, Hamid Reza (Supervisor) ; Eftekhary, Eaman (Supervisor)
Abstract
Suppose that K and K^' are knots inside the homology spheres Y and Y^', respectively. Let X=Y(K,K^') be the 3-manifold obtained by splicing the complements of K and K^' and Z be the three-manifold obtained by 0-surgery on K. When Y^' is an L-space, we use Eftekhary's splicing formula to show that the rank of (HF) ̂(X) is bounded below by the rank of (HF) ̂(Y) if τ_(K^' )=0 and is bounded below by rank((HF) ̂(Z))-2 rank((HF) ̂(Y))+1 if τ_(K^' )≠0.
Software Product Line Testing Optimization Based on Regression Test Techniques
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mirian Hosseinabadi, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
A software product line is a set of products with common features. The design of this set is such that the core assets that are common features between products are implemented only once. All products in the product line use the core assets to reduce development costs. The number of products that can be produced in a software product line is exponential to the number of capabilities in the core assets and the set is very large, so the cost of testing the software product line will be very high. In the software product line testing, various methods have been provided to reduce costs, among which we can mention product prioritization and regression test techniques. In prioritization, the...
Analysis of People Appearance Variation in Multi-Camera Networks
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Behroozi, Hamid (Supervisor) ; Mohammadzadeh, Narges Hoda (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Analysis of people appearance variation in multi-camera networks for person re-identification or person retrieval is a very challenging problem due to the many intra-class variations between different cameras. Like any problem in the field of machine vision, it is generally divided into two parts. The first part is feature extraction and the second part is feature matching for person retrieval. So far, various methods have been proposed for the extraction of discriminative features, which are generally divided into three categories: stripe-based, patch-based, and body-based methods. However, methods based on stripes, although simpler, have performed better due to their greater compatibility...

Modeling of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis Reactor for GTL Process
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khorasheh, Farhad (Supervisor) ; Taghikhani, Vahid (Supervisor)
Abstract
There is a need from the natural gas and energy industries to seek for an economically attractive way of converting remote gas reserves into transportable products, such as high quality fuels or petrochemicals. A possible way for the conversion of natural gas to middle distillates is based on a three-step process. Firstly, production of syngas from natural gas. Secondly,catalytic conversion of syngas into hydrocarbons, mostly parafins from C5 to C100. (Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis). Thirdly, hydrocracking of the heavy paraffinic hydrocarbons to middle distillates. The F-T synthesis step is highly exothermic. In order to control the temperature within the reactor, when considering high...
