Concept of Truth is the most fundamental concept in any intellectual activity. Knowledge systems are distinguished, above all, by their different viewpoint about truth and different criteria which they present for determining truth. Phenomenology, that its motto is returning to things as such, should introduce a definition of truth free from the presuppositions which lie in the definitions (implied or expressed ones) of it in most knowledge systems. In this project, we try to clarify concept of truth as correlation of transcendental act in philosophy of Husserl, and also study antecedents and consequents of this conception. In this project we investigate the place of the idea of “truth” in... 

This study considers the Cartesian masculinization of thought and objectivity applying Susan Bordo's viewpoint. It has been manifested here that contents in Descartes's thoughts, especially in meditations, are emerged from a historical-cultural context which also reflect the psychological condition and a reaction to that. Accordingly, Cartesian dualism emphasizing on distance and detachment, paves a way to a mechanistic view to the world; in the other hand Cartesian distinction and clearness would result in objectivity through the philosophical reconstruction of the self and the world and through making dominance and mastery. Dynamic objectivity, historical-cultural reconsideration of... 

Production logging consists of running measurement instruments called logging tools into an oil or gas well to measure various parameters such as temperature, flow velocity, pressure, density, etc. The primary purpose for production logging is to allow enhancing production profits and decreasing costs. Nowadays the common way for fluid density measurement as a part of these tools depends on radioactive source. Special considerations must be taken upon the use of this principle due to its radioactive character. This thesis is focused on a non-radioactive method of determining density. The subject of this thesis is to consider methods for measuring density based on principle of acoustic... 

Nowadays the performance of multi-core systems is increasing; however, the limited off-chip bandwidth of DRAMs is the biggest limiting factor for keeping up this trend. 3D stacked memories are good alternatives for current memories as they utilize high-bandwidth low-power through silicon via (TSV) connections. The main problem of these structures is significant rise of temperature as heat cannot be dissipated easily from the middle layers. As a result, utilizing thermal and power-aware management techniques is one of the most critical design goals of these systems. DRAM manufacturers consider timing parameters of memory controller conservatively high to guarantee the true functionality of...
