    Supersymmetry Breaking in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and Impact of Neutralino Dark Matter on µ Bound

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Ghaffari, Ghazal (Author) ; Arfaei, Hesamaddin (Supervisor) ; Torabian, Mahdi (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Supersymmetry breaking mechanism is an unanswered question. Which is not allowed to break at tree-level in MSSM due to supertrace restrictions. Most theories suppose it’s broken in a dark section, much higher energies than electro-weak and its impacts as soft SUSY breaking terms emerged in Lagrangian. Here, in a different approach, an extension of MSSM with a U(1) and Stueckelberg superfield along with nonlinear gauge transformation, provides an additional condition to present a tree-level SUSY breaking mechanism. Mass mixing term in Stueckelberg’s Lagrangian or kinetic mixing are two methods of such an extension. The particles mass terms, solving the Higgsino mass parameter problem µ,... 

    Multiclass, multistage, and multilevel fiber-optic CDMA signaling techniques based on advanced binary optical logic gate elements

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Communications ; Volume 57, Issue 5, 2009, Pages 1424-1432 Ghaffari, B. M ; Salehi, J. A ; Sharif University Of Technology
    Abstract
    In this paper we introduce and propose novel signaling methods and receiver structures based on advanced binary optical logic gates for fiber-optic code division multiple access (FO-CDMA) systems using all-optical signal processing. In the proposed system the users of the network are categorized into multiple classes. Users of each class transmit at the same power level but different from the levels of the other classes' users. Using a combination of optical OR, AND and XNOR logic gates for the receiver structure we show that such a network not only takes the full advantages of all-optical signal processing but also demonstrates a considerable throughput efficiency when compared to ordinary...

    Multi-scale Modeling of Crack Using Nano-XFEM

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ghaffari, Reza (Author) ; Haddadpour, Hassan (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this thesis a mutliScale model based on the Cauchy-Born hypothesis and via usage of XFEM is proposed for crack modeling. By solving an example, the important of surface effects in the surface stresses region is shown. Considering not being able to model the surface effects with the Cauchy-Born method, the boundary Cauchy-Born method for modeling crack effects is used. Moreover, three Molecular Dynamics method for modeling crack will be proposed. According to the obtained results from these methods, it was deduced that for calculating the correct surface stresses in Molecular Dynamics the mutual interaction of upper and lower atoms of crack should be omitted. Finally, the validation of...

    Parametric Investigation and Finite Element Modeling of an Innovative Semi-Rigid Beam to Column Connection under Monotonic Loading

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ghaffari, Yousef (Author) ; Mofid, Masoud (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    This thesis presents the development of a Finite Element Model (FEM) for a new type of Beam-Column Semi-Rigid steel connection. This connection consists of a steel semi cylinder connected to a plate and inserted on the top and bottom of the beam connecting it to the column by welding. It seems that changing the geometry of the semi cylinders and their weld lengths can have a great influence on the rigidity or flexibility of the connection. Therefore, meaningful categories of the connection with different semi cylinder geometries and weld lengths have been modeled and investigated by means of a Finite Element Modeling software ABAQUS, and their moment-rotation curves were driven. Also the... 

    Sparse-induced similarity measure: Mono-modal image registration via sparse-induced similarity measure

    , Article IET Image Processing ; Volume 8, Issue 12 , 1 December , 2014 , Pages 728-741 ; ISSN: 17519659 Ghaffari, A ; Fatemizadeh, E ; Sharif University of Technology
    2014
    Abstract
    Similarity measure is an important key in image registration. Most traditional intensity-based similarity measures (e.g. sum-of-squared-differences, correlation coefficient, mutual information and correlation ratio) assume a stationary image and pixel-by-pixel independence. These similarity measures ignore the correlation among pixel intensities; hence, a perfect image registration cannot be achieved especially in the presence of spatially varying intensity distortions and outlier objects that appear in one image but not in the other. It is supposed here that non-stationary intensity distortion (such as bias field) has a sparse representation in the transformation domain. Based on this... 

    Mono-modal image registration via correntropy measure

    , Article Iranian Conference on Machine Vision and Image Processing, MVIP ; Sept , 2013 , Pages 223-226 ; 21666776 (ISSN) ; 9781467361842 (ISBN) Ghaffari, A ; Fatemizadeh, E ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    The registration of images is a fundamental task in numerous applications in medical image processing. Similarity measure is an important key in intensity based image registration. Here, we propose correntropy measure as similarity measure in mono modal setting. Correntropy is a important measure between two random variables based on information theoretic learning and kernel methods. This measure is useful in non-Gaussian signal processing. In this paper, this measure is used in image registration. Here, we analytically illustrate that this measure is robust in presence of spiky noise (impulsive noise). The experimental results show that the proposed similarity has better performance than... 

    Sparse based similarity measure for mono-modal image registration

    , Article Iranian Conference on Machine Vision and Image Processing, MVIP ; Sept , 2013 , Pages 462-466 ; 21666776 (ISSN) ; 9781467361842 (ISBN) Ghaffari, A ; Fatemizadeh, E ; Sharif University of Technology
    IEEE Computer Society  2013
    Abstract
    Similarity measure is an important key in image registration. Most traditional intensity-based similarity measures (e.g., SSD, CC, MI, and CR) assume stationary image and pixel by pixel independence. Hence, perfect image registration cannot be achieved especially in presence of spatially-varying intensity distortions and outlier objects that appear in one image but not in the other. Here, we suppose that non stationary intensity distortion (such as Bias field or Outlier) has sparse representation in transformation domain. Based on this as-sumption, the zero norm (ℓ0)of the residual image between two registered images in transform domain is introduced as a new similarity measure in presence... 

    RISM: Single-Modal Image Registration via Rank-Induced Similarity Measure

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Image Processing ; Volume 24, Issue 12 , 2015 , Pages 5567-5580 ; 10577149 (ISSN) Ghaffari, A ; Fatemizadeh, E ; Sharif University of Technology
    2015
    Abstract
    Similarity measure is an important block in image registration. Most traditional intensity-based similarity measures (e.g., sum-of-squared-difference, correlation coefficient, and mutual information) assume a stationary image and pixel-by-pixel independence. These similarity measures ignore the correlation between pixel intensities; hence, perfect image registration cannot be achieved, especially in the presence of spatially varying intensity distortions. Here, we assume that spatially varying intensity distortion (such as bias field) is a low-rank matrix. Based on this assumption, we formulate the image registration problem as a nonlinear and low-rank matrix decomposition (NLLRMD).... 

    Robust Huber similarity measure for image registration in the presence of spatially-varying intensity distortion

    , Article Signal Processing ; Volume 109 , April , 2015 , Pages 54-68 ; 01651684 (ISSN) Ghaffari, A ; Fatemizadeh, E ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier  2015
    Abstract
    Similarity measure is an important part of image registration. The main challenge of similarity measure is lack of robustness to different distortions. A well-known distortion is spatially-varying intensity distortion. Its main characteristic is correlation among pixels. Most traditional intensity based similarity measures (e.g., SSD, MI) assume stationary image and pixel to pixel independence. Hence, these similarity measures are not robust against spatially-varying intensity distortion. Here, we suppose that non-stationary intensity distortion has a sparse representation in transform domain, i.e. its distribution has high peak at origin and a long tail. We use two viewpoints of Maximum...

    , Article 2009 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference, WCNC 2009, Budapest, 5 April 2009 through 8 April 2009 ; 2009 ; 15253511 (ISSN); 9781424429486 (ISBN) Ghaffari, M ; Ashtian, F ; Sharif University of Technology
    2009
    Abstract
    In this paper, we propose the Object Pursuing based Efficient Routing Algorithm (OPERA) suitable for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), esp. in sparse situations. The proposed algorithm is applicable for both moving and fixed destinations. It is based on considering static nodes at each intersection. In this algorithm, we optimize the decision making at intersections, with respect to the connectivity and feasibilty of the roads. To this end, we consider the average delay of each road as the connectivity metric, and the vehicle availability in the transmission range of the intersection as the feasibility metric. By exploiting the related metrics, we select the next road to forward the packet... 

    Image registration based on low rank matrix: rank-regularized SSD

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging ; January , 2018 , Pages 138-150 ; 02780062 (ISSN) Ghaffari, A ; Fatemizadeh, E ; Sharif University of Technology
    Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc  2018
    Abstract
    Similarity measure is a main core of image registration algorithms. Spatially varying intensity distortion is an important challenge, which affects the performance of similarity measures. Correlation among the pixels is the main characteristic of this distortion. Similarity measures such as sum-of-squared-differences (SSD) and mutual information ignore this correlation; hence, perfect registration cannot be achieved in the presence of this distortion. In this paper, we model this correlation with the aid of the low rank matrix theory. Based on this model, we compensate this distortion analytically and introduce rank-regularized SSD (RRSSD). This new similarity measure is a modified SSD based... 

    Split supersymmetry breaking from Stückelberg mixing of multiple U(1)'s

    , Article Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics ; Volume 796 , 2019 , Pages 32-37 ; 03702693 (ISSN) Ghaffari, G ; Torabian, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier B.V  2019
    Abstract
    We show that multiple Abelian sectors with Stückelberg mass-mixing simply break supersymmetry via Fayet-Iliopoulos D-terms and straightforwardly mediate it to the other sectors. This mechanism naturally realizes a split supersymmetry spectrum for soft parameters. Scalar squared-masses (holomorphic and non-holomorphic) are induced through sizable portals and are not suppressed. Gaugino masses, a-terms and a μ-like term are generated by higher-dimensional operators and are suppressed. The hypercharge is mixed with extra U(1)'s, it's D-term in non-vanishing and supersymmetry is broken in the visible sector too. Scalar tachyonic directions are removed by unsuppressed interactions and hypercharge... 

    Distributed arboricity-dependent graph coloring via all-to-all communication

    , Article 46th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming, ICALP 2019, 9 July 2019 through 12 July 2019 ; Volume 132 , 2019 ; 18688969 (ISSN); 9783959771092 (ISBN) Ghaffari, M ; Sayyadi, A ; Sharif University of Technology
    Schloss Dagstuhl- Leibniz-Zentrum fur Informatik GmbH, Dagstuhl Publishing  2019
    Abstract
    We present a constant-time randomized distributed algorithms in the congested clique model that computes an O(α)-vertex-coloring, with high probability. Here, α denotes the arboricity of the graph, which is, roughly speaking, the edge-density of the densest subgraph. Congested clique is a well-studied model of synchronous message passing for distributed computing with all-to-all communication: per round each node can send one O(log n)-bit message algorithm to each other node. Our O(1)-round algorithm settles the randomized round complexity of the O(α)-coloring problem. We also explain that a similar method can provide a constant-time randomized algorithm for decomposing the graph into O(α)... 

    The Analysis of HDR Video Reconstruction Methods

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ghaffari, Mahdi (Author) ; Amini, Arash (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The conventional cameras and displays do not have the ability to record and display the full brightness of the world around us. These deficiencies have led to the development of methods known as High Dynamic Range Imaging. Most of the work done in this field falls into two groups: compression of the light range and its expansion. In compression, the brightness range is intended to display content with a high dynamic range in simple displays. But the goal of expanding the brightness range is to reconstruct HDR content from a low dynamic range one. In addition to the above classification, this field is also categorized based on the type of content (image or video). In this study, the... 

    Predication of Unmeasurable Parameters of the Reactor Core by Soft Computing Methods at the Transient State

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Moradi, Milad (Author) ; Ghaffari, Mohsen (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The parameters within the reactor core can be categorized into two distinct groups of measurable parameters and unmeasurable parameters. The determination of unmeasurable parameters, such as void fraction and critical heat flux, plays a pivotal and fundamental role in predicting the occurrence of accidents and emergency situations within the reactor. The utilization of deep neural networks represents one of the methods for accurately and reliably estimating these parameters within future temporal intervals. Such estimations facilitate the implementation of necessary measures to prevent accidents or mitigate their consequences. In this study, we employ three deep neural network models namely...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ghaffari, Ali (Author) ; Farhadi, Fathollah (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Brine in crude oil causes many problems that underpin the importance of its separation. In recent years brine in crude oil has been increased with increase of the oil fields lifetime and its separation has been more important. One of the most effective separation methods is electrocoalescence. In this research, the simulation of brine droplets motion and their coalescence under the effect of electric field have been investigated by using the Computational Fluid Dynamics method and the droplets size distribution has been calculated under different values of electric field magnitude. The motion of two single brine droplets in stagnant oil phase and the behavior of many numbers of droplets in...
