Congestion is an important issue in the network environment. To keep stable the perfor-mance of the network, congestion control algorithms have been extensively studied. Queue management method employed by the routers is one of the important issues in the congestion control study. Active Queue Management (AQM) has been proposed for early detection of congestion inside the network. AQM mechanisms control the queue length in a router by dropping arriving packets. The Random Early Detection (RED) is the most popular AQM mechanism used in routers on the Intenet to allow network users to simultaneously achieve high throughput and low average delay. The RED algorithm may cause heavy oscillation of... 

A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a set of wireless mobile nodes that form a self configured network. MANETs do not have infrastructure and are not currently deployed on large scales. So research in this area is simulation based. Mobility model in a mobile ad hoc network explains the movement pattern of mobile users and is designed to describe the change of their location, velocity and acceleration over time. One of the challenges in this field is the definition of a common mobility model that provides an accurate and realistic movement description of mobile nodes. In this thesis we want to study the mobility pattern of vehicles on Kish Island and compare it with different kinds of... 

Estimation of runoff in the ungauged basins is a challenge for hydrologists. The main objective of this research is to produce runoff coefficient map using SCS-CN (1972) and Kennessey (1930) as empirical models to for Urmia Lake basin between for 2006-2011.Both SCS-CN and Kennessey methods use slope, land use, and soil permeability data to estimate surface runoff. Accuracy of each model is tested along with the observed runoff using the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE).Urmia Lake basin includes about 400,000 hectares irrigated land, which constitutes around 10 percent of the entire basin area. To exclude the anthropological activities from the estimations, methods were applied only for 28... 

Objective: Accurate quantification in PET imaging is essential for proper evaluation and requires attenuation and scatter correction. Typically, this correction is performed using CT; however, the propagation of CT image errors to PET, the additional radiation dose in PET/CT, especially in pediatric cases and repeated scans, as well as challenges associated with standalone PET and PET/MRI, highlight the need for alternative approaches. This study investigates the capability of deep learning in jointly correcting attenuation and scatter for PET images with different radiotracers. Methods: Various neural network models, including ResNet, U-Net, and swin UNETR, were trained for direct... 

Resources management is essential duo to sustainable development and marine resources limitations. There are several ways to restore coastal damaged ecosystems, one of the best and most cost effective solution is establishment of artificial reefs. A popular type of artificial reef is named Reef ball, a hollow hemisphere. In some regions these habitats has also been used as submerged breakwater. These structures recover and protect endangered species ecosystem although they provide aesthetic view to a beach. Main application of these structures is to provide a safe environment for marine creature. In this study initially Transmission coefficient variation in two-dimensional model experiments... 

Inrush Current is a form of over-current that occurs during energization of a transformer. For power transformers, the magnitude of the first peak of inrush current is initially several times the rated load current but slowly decreases until it finally reaches the normal exciting current value. This process typically takes several minutes. Time-variant axial and radial electromagnetic forces under inrush current and short-circuit current are calculated (by finite element method; FEM), and compared. An analytic method is presented for computation of inrush current in transformer. The simulation results obtained by this proposed method are compared with the measured values. A compact... 

In this study a variational framework for joint segmentation and motion estimation is provided for inspecting heart in Cine MRI sequences. In the first work, a functional including Mumford-Shah segmentation and optical flow based dense motion estimation is proposed. However, the motion estimation technique is replaced with warping estimation in the second work to reach in more regular and smooth motion field based on tracking of cardiac boundaries. Both of these functionals are then approximated by using the phase-field method to make them suitable for extracting Euler-Lagrange equations. Numerical solution to the optimization problem, when the time and image spaces are discretized by finite... 

Integrity of closed-loop systems with integral action control is characterized by using a series of successively more difficult to obtain conditions: Integral Stabilizable (IS), Integral Controllable (IC), Integral Controllable with Integrity (ICI), and Decentralized Integral Controllability (DIC). The IS condition requires that for a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) finitedimensional (FD) plant, G(s), one finds a stabilizing decentralized controller with integral action. For G(s) to be IC, in addition to being IS, one should be able to reduce the gain of
all control loops by the same factor from a finite value to (but not including) zero without introducing instabilities. ICI requires that... 

In this thesis, the theoretical foundation, the way of implementation and the uses of Pars Morph, a Persian morphological analyzer is introduced. Pars Morph is a rule-based Persian morphological analysis system, which analyzes the internal structure of word in Persian and determines the grammatical category and function of the word parts. Pars Morph being in link with a lexicon covering about 45000 lexemes and based on morphological rules in Persian can analyze the structure of complex lexemes and their possible inflected forms and even out-of-lexicon words.
Accuracy rate of the first version of Pars Morph is about 95% which could be enhanced to 100% by applying the regulations on...
