The Effect of Shock and Vibration Loads on Disconnection and Fluctuations of Electrical Current in Connectors
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Behzad, Mehdi (Supervisor)
Abstract
Electrical connectors that used in high speed systems interrupt the connection at the effect of Inertia. Also connectors should be able to work in high vibration conditions without any problems. Vibration of the connector pins can reduce the contact area or even remove it at very short time intervals, which lead to increase connector resistance or disconnection of instantaneous current. These current fluctuations will result in unpredictable performance disturbanceof the electrical system in very sensitive systems and therefore it should be avoided. In this Project, impacts of shock and vibration loads on the connectors is modeled by using FEM and with consideration of this model, connection...
Assessing the explanatory power of naturalism in addressing ultimate questions
, Article Vestnik Sankt-Peterburgskogo Universiteta, Filosofiia i Konfliktologiia ; Volume 37, Issue 2 , 2021 , Pages 217-228 ; 25422278 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
A typical scientist has no responsibility other than to explain how a natural event occurred. However, when a philosopher asks about the conditions under which a scientist’s explanation is true, he is, in fact, raising an ultimate question, the concept which Karl Popper used for the first time. Answering this question requires that no elements are neglected in the explanation, and no significant factors in the explanation are overlooked. In other words, in explaining a phenomenon, at any level of its explanation, there should be no remainder. These requirements can be achieved through the full explanation. In the present article, by drawing on concepts such as theory-ladenness of...
Metaphysical necessity in the neo-sadraian school and assessment of necessitarian theories of the laws of nature

Abstract
To differentiate between the laws of nature and accidental generalizations, we must adopt a view of necessity that is capable of being realized in relationships existing among natural objects. In neo-Sadraian Islamic philosophy, metaphysical necessity is accepted as part of the cause-effect relationship. This paper compares the neo-Sadraian interpretation of necessity and necessitarian theories about the laws of nature, particularly essentialism and universal theory. By resorting to specific forms al-shûrat al-naw’iyyah, the origin of the essential properties of natural objects, I argue that neo-Sadraians have proposed a perspective on metaphysical necessity that is epistemologically a...
Muslims’ lifeworld during the pandemic and humanistic interpretation of religions
, Article Contemporary Islam ; 2023 ; 18720218 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Some proponents of new atheism, including Dawkins, claim that religion, especially Islam, is the cause of the war because it encourages divisiveness and labeling. In this article, in the first step, I will show that Islam is not the cause of war, but rather it is a misconception of Islam that is the cause of divisiveness and eventually war. Then, I will demonstrate that the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on societies and religious behaviors somehow could, and still can, modify this misconception and blur divisions. This effect occurs in two ways: firstly, a pandemic creates common human problems for all people worldwide, making people more aware of their common points that Islam refers to...
MPC Control of Satellite Formation in the Context of Three Body Problem
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Pourtakdoust, Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis the problem of spacecrafts formation control for halo orbit around the second libration point (L2) of the Sun-Earth Three Body (TB) system is investigated. Station keeping, reconfiguration and precision formation control of spacecrafts on halo orbits are performed via the use of the nonlinear Integral Sliding Mode (ISM) method, optimal closed loop Linear Quadratic regulator (LQR) approach as well as the Model Prodective Control (MPC). In this regard the nonlinear relative dynamics of deputy-chief spacecrafts are derived within the concept of both circular and elliptical three body problem; as well the perturbation model of the Moon and the linear model of restricted three...
Modeling of Major Depression by Using Computational Intelligence
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Seifipour, Navid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Mental disorders are very common nowadays and affect a person’s everyday life, as well as the lives of other people around him/her. According to the World Health Organization, major depressive disorder (MDD) is considered as the fourth main cause of death and premature weakness in the whole world. Information Technology (IT) could be used to diagnose the people who are affected by the mental disorders as well as reduce their effects. As clinical decision making inherently requires reasoning under uncertainty, fuzzy logic is a suitable technique for dealing with this partial evidence. The fuzzy logic is the science of reasoning; thinking and inference that recognizes and uses the real world...
Computational study of spin caloritronics in a pristine and defective antimonene nanoribbon

Abstract
In this paper, by using first-principle density functional theory (DFT) combined with non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF), thermally induced spin current in zigzag and armchair Antimonene Nanoribbon (SbNR) is investigated. Also, we obtain higher spin current in Armchair nanoribbon (ANR) than zigzag nanoribbon (ZNR), because the start energy of transmission for ANR is closer to the Fermi level than ZNR. The results show that the device has a perfect spin Seebeck effect under temperature difference without gate voltage or bias voltage. For the ANR configuration, the competition between spin up holes and spin down electrons leads to negative differential behavior of charge current, which is...
Numerical simulation of vertical tunneling transistor with bilayer graphene as source and drain regions
, Article Physica Status Solidi (A) Applications and Materials Science ; Volume 214, Issue 10 , 2017 ; 18626300 (ISSN) ; Faez, R ; Darvish, G ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
In this paper, the electrical characteristics of vertical tunneling bilayer graphene field effect transistor (VTBGFET) are theoretically investigated. We evaluate the device behavior using nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism combined with an atomistic tight binding model. By using this method, we extract the most significant figures of merit such as ON/OFF current ratio, subthreshold swing, and intrinsic gate-delay time. The results indicate that using a bilayer graphene instead of a monolayer graphene as the base material for the source and drain regions leads to a larger ON/OFF current ratio due to the presence of an energy bandgap in biased bilayer graphene. Also, the...

Abstract
In this paper, thermally induced spin current in graphene-antimonene heterostructure is investigated using first-principle density functional theory (DFT) combined with the non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) method. We obtain a higher spin current in the graphene-antimonene heterostructure (Gr-Sb) than in the graphene zigzag nanoribbon (GrZNR). The current versus source temperature shows negative differential behavior. Also, the results show that graphene-antimonene heterostructure's figure of merit coefficient could be ZT = 37 ×10 - 3 in the energy range – 0.5 eV < E < 0.5 eV, while its value for monolayer graphene is about 4000 times less. These results show that the figure of merit...
The Role of Conventionals(Itibaryat) in Philosophy of Science
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Golshani, Mahdi (Supervisor)
Abstract
According to different interpretations of the philosophy of science schools, scientific knowledge, is responsible for explanation, description, control and prediction of material phenomena and their relationships. But these facts, besides their real aspects, which can be observed and found by episteme, have a conventional side. The conventional aspect of science is rules and contracts which are obtained from the facts you can find by techne. Although conventionals can be traced back to the division of science into theoretical and practical by Aristotle and other Hellenistic philosophers, but in this century Islamic philosophers especially, Tatbayee paid more attention to this topic. This...
Automatic Detection of Galaxy Clusters Applying Cluster Red Sequence Algorithm: Galaxy Clusters and Groups in the Field of the Survey
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mansouri, Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Galaxy clusters are the most massive virialized systems in the universe. Their studies provide crucial grasp on the galaxy formation and evolution, dark matter and its nature, cosmological parameters and large scale structure of the universe. Because of their significant role in cosmology, providing a catalogue of galaxy clusters in a wide range of spatial angle, mass and redshift seems vital. Galaxy cluster detection can be performed by various methods in a broad spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Optical detection of galaxy clusters is of the most traditional and popular methods. Among optical algorithms, one of the most efficient is called Cluster Red Sequence (CRS) which applies the...
Identifying Core Genes in Estimation of Missing Gene Expressions
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Motahari, Abolfazl (Supervisor)
Abstract
Characterizing cellular states in response to various disease conditions is an important issue which is addressed by different methods such as Large-scale gene expression profiling. One of the most important challenges in front of bioinformaticians is the loss of data because expression profiling is still very expensive. It is understood that profiling a group of selected genes could be enough for understanding all of the gene expression profile.In this research, we propose a fast method for estimation of the missing values inlow-rank matrices. We consider the highly correlated expression profiles as a low-rank matrix. Then, we used this new method in a proposed algorithm which will select...

The behavior of the two controllers are compared for different tasks of the formation mission in order to determine the more preferred...
Polymer-Enhanced low-salinity brine to control in situ mixing and salt dispersion in low-salinity waterflooding

Abstract
Although viability of low-salinity waterflooding (LSWF) at the laboratory scale has been proven, there are some challenges associated with its field application, which sheds uncertainties on its economic success. One of the challenges is the minimum required volume of low-salinity water, which should be injected to the reservoir due to the salt dispersion in porous media. Once the low-saline brine is injected into the reservoir, mixing of injected (low-salinity) and resident (high-salinity) brines occurs and the developed mixing zone grows continuously as the front moves from the injection well toward the production well. Increase in the salinity of the front reduces the efficiency of LSWF....

Abstract
In situ mixing by dispersive transport of salt and viscous fingering between the injected low-salinity (LS) brine and high-salinity (HS) formation brine can jeopardize the performance of low-salinity waterflooding (LSWF). In our previous papers, we demonstrated that in situ mixing can be suppressed by polymer-enhanced low-salinity waterflooding (PELS), in which a small amount of a viscosifying agent, such as a polymer, is added to the LS stream. Nevertheless, effective mixing control with PELS depends upon several factors and operational conditions, which have not yet been addressed. Therefore, this research focuses on the investigation of the impact of injection parameters, such as the...
Infeasibility proof and information state in network information theory

Abstract
In this paper, we revisit the structure of infeasibility results in network information theory, based on a notion of information state. We also discuss ideas for generalizing a known outer bound for lossless transmission of independent sources over a network to one of lossy transmission of dependent sources over the same network. To concretely demonstrate this, we apply our ideas and prove new results for lossy transmission of dependent sources by generalizing: 1) the cut-set bound; 2) the best known outer bound on the capacity region of a general broadcast channel; and 3) the outer bound part of the result of Maric, Yates, and Kramer on strong interference channels with a common message

Abstract
Theorem 5 of A. Gohari, V. Anantharam, IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, vol. 56, no. 8, pp. 3973-3996, 2010, states an upper bound on the secrecy capacity for the source model problem. It has a three page proof given in Appendix B of the paper. Unfortunately, we show that this bound does not provide any improvement over the simpler bound given in Corollary 1 of the paper. We also provide an example of a family of two agent source model problems where the one-way secrecy rate in each direction is zero, but the secrecy rate is nonzero and can be determined exactly as a conditional mutual information. © 1963-2012 IEEE
An efficient tabu search algorithm for the single row facility location problem [electronic resource]
, Article European Journal Of Operational Research ; Vol. 205, No. 1, pp. 98-105 ; Eshghi, Kourosh ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The general goal of the facility layout problem is to arrange a given number of facilities to minimize the total cost associated with the known or projected interactions between them. One of the special classes of the facility layout problem is the Single Row Facility Layout Problem (SRFLP), which consists of finding an optimal linear placement of rectangular facilities with varying dimensions on a straight line. This paper first presents and proves a theorem to find the optimal solution of a special case of SRFLP. The results obtained by this theorem prove to be very useful in reducing the computational efforts when a new algorithm based on tabu search for the SRFLP is proposed in this...

A bi-objective possibilistic programming model for open shop scheduling problems with sequence-dependent setup times, fuzzy processing times, and fuzzy due dates
, Article Applied Soft Computing Journal ; Volume 12, Issue 4 , 2012 , Pages 1399-1416 ; 15684946 (ISSN) ; Mahdavi, I ; Mahdavi Amiri, N ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
We are concerned with an open shop scheduling problem having sequence-dependent setup times. A novel bi-objective possibilistic mixed-integer linear programming model is presented. Sequence-dependent setup times, fuzzy processing times and fuzzy due dates with triangular possibility distributions are the main constraints of this model. An open shop scheduling problem with these considerations is close to the real production scheduling conditions. The objective functions are to minimize total weighted tardiness and total weighted completion times. To solve small-sized instances for Pareto-optimal solutions, an interactive fuzzy multi-objective decision making (FMODM) approach, called TH...
