    Abstract
    Foaming and crystallisation behaviours of compacted glass powders based on a diopside glass-ceramic composition were investigated using the sintering route. The foaming agent was 2 wt.% SiC particles. The effect of PbO on the foaming ability of glasses was investigated. The results showed that the addition of PbO not only improved the foaming ability, by improving the wettability of the glass-SiC particles but also increased the crystallisation temperature and widened the temperature interval between the dilatometric softening point and the onset of crystallisation. The glass-SiC wetting angle was decreased from 85°for the lead-free glass, to 55°for the glass that contains 15 wt.% PbO

    Abstract
    In this study, Li2O-TiO2-P2O5-x(Fe2O3) (x = 0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 weight part) glass and glass-ceramics were synthesized through conventional melt-quenching method and subsequently heat treatment. Glass samples were studied by UV–visible spectroscopy and crystallized samples were characterized by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffractometry and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Besides, electrical properties were examined according to the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. Experimental optical spectra of the Fe2O3-doped glasses revealed strong UV absorption band in the range of 330–370 nm, which were attributed to the presence of Fe3+ ions. The major crystalline... 

    The Cutoff Phenomenon in Reversible Markov Chains

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Eftekhari, Hamid (Author) ; Zohuri Zangeneh, Bijan (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    A sequence of Markov chains is said to exhibit (total variation) cutoff if the convergence to stationarity in total variation distance is abrupt. We consider reversible lazy chains. We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the occurrence of the cutoff phenomena in terms of concentration of hitting time of “worst” (in some sense) sets of stationary measure at least , for some ... (0; 1). As an application of these methods, we prove that a sequence of lazy chains on finite trees exhibits cutoff if and only if the product of the mixing time and the spectral gap tends to  

    The effects of SiO 2 and K 2O on glass forming ability and structure of CaOTiO 2P 2O 5 glass system

    Abstract
    The effects of SiO 2 and K 2O were investigated on the glass forming ability (GFA) and structural characteristics of CaOTiO 2P 2O 5 system. Differential thermal analyzer (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FT-IR and 31P magic angle spinning NMR methods were applied for characterizations of the system. Unwanted crystallization in the initial three components base glass composition was observed by adding SiO 2 and crystalline phases such as TiP 2O 7, rutile (TiO 2) and cristobalite (SiO 2) were formed in it. The results showed that K 2O prevents crystallization of glasses and promotes the formation of glass. FT-IR and X-ray diffraction showed that the addition...

    Abstract
    Glass-ceramic composites in the SiO2-CaO-MgO-(Na2O) system, reinforced with 5, 10 and 20 wt.% aluminum titanate were synthesized by pressureless sintering. Optimum sintering temperatures with maximum relative density were determined for each composition. The composites were fired above the crystallization peak temperature of glass-ceramic. Mechanical properties of glass-ceramic and sintered composites, such as fracture toughness, flexural strength and Vickers microhardness, were investigated. The sintered composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the composite containing 10... 

    A frequency domain proof for the equivalence of the maximally flat FIR fractional delay filter and the Lagrange interpolator

    Abstract
    One of the most important properties of the maximally flat (MF) FIR fractional delay (FD) filter is its equivalence with the Lagrange interpolator for uniformly sampled signals. In this article, to provide the required background for the reader, we first propose a straightforward algebraic proof for this equivalence. This proof is given by simply demonstrating that the system of linear equations governing the maximally flatness property of this filter is the same as the one from which the coefficients of the Lagrange interpolator are computed. We then present the main contribution of the paper, which is a frequency domain proof for the same equivalence. In contrast with its classic... 

    Low-order adaptive half-sample interpolators

    Abstract
    Although the fractional delay filtering literature is full of design methods and implementation techniques for fractional sample interpolators, a fundamental need for the proposition of low-order efficient designs still strongly exists. Proposed is such a system for half-sample interpolation. In contrast to the typical systems studied in the literature for fractional delay filtering, the system proposed continuously adapts its interpolation kernel to the statistical variations of the input signal, and this is in fact the reason for it being needless of having a high order. Satisfactory performance of the proposed structure has been demonstrated via simulation

    Abstract
    The maximally flat (MF) fractional-delay (FD) allpass filter, also known as Thiran's allpass filter, is one of the most popular IIR FD systems which is typically deployed in its causal forms. It is shown that if this causality constraint is removed, MFFD allpass filters with considerably wider bandwidths can be obtained. In many applications this extra bandwidth is worth having a non-causal system  

    Equivalence of the Lagrange interpolator for uniformly sampled signals and the scaled binomially windowed shifted sinc function

    , Article Digital Signal Processing: A Review Journal ; Volume 19, Issue 5 , 2009 , Pages 838-842 ; 10512004 (ISSN) Jahani Yekta, M. M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    The maximally flat (MF) fractional delay (FD) filter which is in fact a Lagrange interpolator for uniformly sampled signals, has previously been shown to be equal to the scaled binomially windowed shifted version of the sinc function; the ideal interpolation kernel for band-limited signals. In this paper, another proof for this equivalence is presented. Unlike its counterparts available in the literature, the proof given here is neither strictly algebraic, nor deploys the explicit coefficient formulas of the MFFD filter. It follows a frequency domain approach based on the definition of this filter instead, and aims to provide more insight into the corresponding equivalence. © 2009 Elsevier...

    Half-band FIR fractional delay filters with closed-form coefficient formulas and modular implementation based on Lagrange interpolators

    Abstract
    The Taylor series-based representation of the maximally flat (MF) FIR fractional delay (FD) filter is manipulated to obtain a FD filter with a wider band-width. The band-width of the proposed filter can approach π / 2 rads / s, which is 1.5 times that of the prototype one. The design has closed-form coefficient formulas as well as a modular implementation. These two properties make it a practically favourable one. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

    A fast and simple procedure for designing relatively wide band fractional delay (FD) all-pass filters is proposed and filters designed based on it are compared to those designed using Thiran’s method, which is one of the simplest, fastest and widely used approaches in designing FD all-pass filters. It is shown that filters designed using the introduced method have wider fractional group delay (fgpd) bandwidths compared to those obtained via Thiran’s technique, as well as some other desired properties. The designed filters are also demonstrated to be stable for several pairs of filter orders and fgpd values. r2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

    Abstract
    In this paper applications of an iterative method in some signal recovery problems are introduced. It is proved that the distorting effect of linear operators can be removed completely using the iterative scheme. The inverse of monotonic functions can also be made indirectly by the method. A novel approach for separating the messages of different subscribers in a CDMA network will be proposed as well, relying on the recursive approach. It would be shown that Sigma Delta Modulated signals can be decoded via the iterative procedure. We will prove both analytically and with simulations that a broad class of nonlinear operators including speech and image codecs can be approximately inverted with... 

    Tunning the tilt of the Dirac cone by atomic manipulations in 8Pmmn borophene

    Abstract
    Two dimensional quantum materials possessing Dirac cones in their spectrum are fascinating due to their emergent low-energy Dirac fermions. In 8Pmmn borophene the Dirac cone is furthermore tilted, which is a proxy for spacetime geometry, since the future light-cone depends on the underlying metric. Therefore it is important to understand the microscopic origin of the tilt. Here, based on ab-initio calculations, we decipher the atomistic mechanism of the formation of tilt. First, nearest-neighbor hopping on a buckled honeycomb lattice forms an upright Dirac cone. Then, the difference in the renormalized anisotropic second-neighbor hopping, formed by virtual hoppings on one-dimensional chains...

    Abstract
    Data storage systems are an essential part of any Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. Unavailability of these systems can directly lead to service disruption to customers and can be very costly in enterprise applications such as ebanking, online reservation systems, and mobile services. Modeling availability of disk subsystem is a major step in design of data storage systems. Previous modeling techniques have mainly focused on data unavailability or data loss due to double or multiple disk failures. In this thesis, we present both simulation and analytical modeling techniques to investigate the effect of serviceability on the overall availability of disk subsystems. The proposed...
