Optimal Pricing of “Software as a Service” with Risk Considerations
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Sheikhzadeh, Mahdi (Supervisor)
Abstract
The recent advances in communications and processing technologies have paved the way for a new business model in IT industry. In this new model, frequently called “software as a service” or in short SAAS, software is hosted on servers operated by a software vendor instead of customers and all required transactions take place through the network, especially through World Wide Web. There are several differences between traditional business models and SAAS, including pricing and revenue model. Given the fact that vendor’s can monitor the customer usage, new and more complicated price structures such as usage-based pricing is possible, In this new business model. Although this pricing structure...

Abstract
Presented in this paper are a method, named the Dynamic Rule Prediction (DRP), which predicts the behavior of a system and its application in designing a controller. The aim of the study is to overcome some of the limitations and shortcoming of the other modeling methods. The effectiveness of this method is verified. The controller based on DRP possesses two main features. It can control the system without any prior knowledge of the controlled plant. It is, also, superior as its high-speed prediction. This paper focuses on the robot manipulator controllers and applications of this approach in it
Coordinating a seller-buyer supply chain with a proper allocation of chain’s surplus profit using a general side-payment contract [electronic resource]
, Article International Journal of Industrial and Systems Engineering ; Volume 5, No. 2, Summer 2011, Page 63-79 ; Eshghi, Kourosh ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In this paper, seller-buyer supply chain coordination with general side-payment contracts is introduced to gain the maximum possible chain profit. In our model, the logistics costs for both buyer and seller are considered and the final demand is also supposed to be a decreasing function of the retail price. Since parties aim to maximize their individual profits, the contractual parameters are set in a way that these decisions become aligned with system optimal decisions. Therefore, a side payment contract is suggested in our model to assign the chain surplus profit to the chain members such that they have no intention to leave the coalition. Then, we change the contract into a quantity...
Photonic Crystal Cavity Quantum Optic in the Very Strong Coupling Regime
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khorasani, Sina (Supervisor)
Abstract
First, we peruse the intraction between a quantized light and a two level atom which has been described by Janes-Cummings-Paul Hamiltonian. By solving Heisenberg equations in Fourier space and describing electric field by a generalized-transverse Green function, we obtain spectral density for a quantum dot which is in the strong coupling to a slab photonic crystal cavity. Afterward, by solving Shrouding equations precisely we demonstrate when quantum dot is in a very strong coupling to cavity, rotate wave approximation is not reliable anymore. It means that if coupling constant gets comparable to cavity mode frequency then the prevalent approach to solve this Hamiltonian will not be correct....
Analysis of Ultra-Strong Coupling in Optical Waveguides
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khorasani, Sina (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this project, we were intended to study the ultra-strong coupling in optical waveguides. Hence, we analyze the interaction of an electromagnetic wave with a quantum well embedded in a dielectric slab waveguide. First, we designed a QW with and alloys, which the energy of its electron-heavy holes transition is . By exploiting the envelope function approximation, we derived the wavefunction of electrons and holes, their eigen-energies, and the dipole moment of electon-holes. For finding the wavefunction of holes and their eigen-energies, we used the Luttinger Hamiltonian. Next, we calculated the electrical susceptibility of a three level quantum system (as a model for QW), by using...

Nonlinear Torsional Vibrations of Thin Walled Beam with Semi-Analytic Methods
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Haddadpour, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
Thin Walled Beams are widely used in engineering applications with the minimum weight design criteria, ranging from civil to aerospace and many other industrial fields. The weight reduction of the beam leads to importance of the dynamic behavior of the structure. Frequently used thin walled beams have low torsional stiffness and their torsional deformations may be of such magnitudes that it is not adequate to treat the angles of cross section rotation as small. When the vibration amplitudes are moderate or large, the geometric nonlinearity must be included and some new phenomena which do not exist in linear torsional dynamic come into play. Unfortunately, the equations of motion of nonlinear...

Axial-torsional vibrations of rotating pretwisted thin walled composite beams
, Article International Journal of Mechanical Sciences ; Vol. 80 , 2014 , pp. 93-101 ; ISSN: 00207403 ; Haddadpour, H ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Axial-torsional vibrations of rotating pretwisted thin-walled composite box beams exhibiting primary and secondary warping are investigated. Considering the nonlinear strain-displacement relations, the coupled nonlinear axial-torsional equations of motion are derived using Hamilton's principle. Ignoring the axial inertia term leads to differential equation of motion in terms of elastic torsion in the case of axially immovable beams. Centrifugal load in the presence of material anisotropy and pretwist angle leads to an induced static torque. The nonlinear equation should be linearized about the corresponding equilibrium state to obtain the linear differential equation of motion. Extended...

Mechanism synthesis for path generation using the curvature based - Deflection based objective function
, Article WSEAS Transactions on Systems ; Volume 5, Issue 12 , 2006 , Pages 2839-2843 ; 11092777 (ISSN) ; Jafarijashemi, G ; Mamduhi, M ; Aghmioni, A. N ; Zohoor, H ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
This paper proposed a new curvature based path-description method for path-generation of planar mechanism, in which the position vector of a point on coupler, which follows most closely a predefined path, is directly calculated as a function of coupler motion properties. In addition this curvature based method makes it possible to define an objective function independent of rotation and translation transformations. Therefore, in this method, initial position, orientation, and coupler point vector parameters are not the optimization variable. These five parameters could be calculated as a function of other design parameters and they are found when these optimal values are obtained. Reducing...

Abstract
Considerable portion of energy losses in a vehicle traced to tire. Energy losses in a tire are due to tire longitudinal slip as well as rolling resistance. Hence, both of aforementioned factors must take into the consideration to study the tire energy loss. Present paper aims to investigate the power losses in tires and to examine influence of road conditions and tire inflation pressure on them. To cover the real-world conditions, experiments were done on a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle on an urban highway along two routes with same length and opposite gradients to comprise the change of road conditions. Then, by use of engine performance model which is prepared in dynamometer...

Abstract
Lead-acid battery is a storage technology that is widely used in photovoltaic (PV) systems. Battery charging and discharging profiles have a direct impact on the battery degradation and battery loss of life. This study presents a new 2-model iterative approach for explicit modelling of battery degradation in the optimal operation of PV systems. The proposed approach consists of two models: namely, economic model and degradation model which are solved iteratively to reach the optimal solution. The economic model is a linear programming optimisation problem that calculates the optimal hourly battery use profile based on an assumed value of the battery degradation cost. The degradation model,...

Transistor Based on Graphane
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khorasani, Sina (Supervisor)
Abstract
In the recent years, field effect transistor has been made by using graphane. But there has not been any study about bipolar transistor. Bipolar transistor can’t be constructed using graphene due to the fact that its band gap is zero. So in this thesis, in an attempt to remove this difficulty, the bipolar transistor made using graphane has been investigated and their property has been compared to those of three dimensional silicon transistors.
At the beginning of the thesis, we will have a review of graphane diode and will consider the procedure for evaluating its current which would be the report of what has been done sofar. After that we made graphane transistor using graphane diode...

Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics in Photonic Crystals with Dirac Point in Bandstructure
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khorasani, Sina (Supervisor)
Abstract
One of the attractive fields of applied quantum mechanics in recent two-three decades is the field of quantum computing. Up to now different substrates have been proposed for a quantum computer. One of them is cavity quantum electrodynamics in which some quantum systems with finite energy states like atoms interact with quantized Bosonic modes like photons inside a cavity. In this dissertation we study a particular structure in this substrate. This structure consists of some quantum dots inside coupled cavities. Since we would like to build these cavities in a photonic crystal slab, we first introduce two new methods for analysis of this type of crystals. These methods are much faster than...
