Long-Term Analysis of Water Balance Components and Water Level Changes of Lake Urmia using a Combination of Field aAnd Remote Sensing Data
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Safaie, Ammar (Supervisor)
Abstract
In recent years, global salt lakes have faced severe environmental challenges. Lake Urmia, the world’s second-largest hyper saline lake, is located in the northwest of Iran, has experienced a significant shrinkage in last years. Lake Urmia is a terminal lake where water enters through precipitation and rivers inflow and loses through evaporation. Analysis of long-term trends (1990-2018) using the Mann-Kendall test indicates no significant trend in precipitation, an increasing trend in evaporation, and a decreasing trend in river discharge. However, precipitation during 1990-1999 (beginning of accelerated lake drying) showed a decreasing trend. An investigation of the correlation between...

Timetable Optimization and Synchronization in an Urban Subway Network with Stop-Skip Strategy
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Shafahi, Yousef (Supervisor)
Abstract
Stop-skipping and timetable synchronization in a transit network for subway operation are two effective strategies to reduce passengers' total travel time.Most of the current research on the topic does not consider stop-skipping strategy and timetable synchronization simultaneously. This paper proposes a mixed-integer programming model based on passenger smart-card data concerning the trains' capacity to minimize passengers' total waiting time and in-vehicle time and maximize the number of passengers who successfully reach their destination. Since increasing the number of trains, stations, or the study horizon, exponentially increase the size of the problem, seeking practical methods to...

Abstract
This paper presents a new solution framework to locate the workstations in the tandem automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems. So far, the research has focused on minimizing the total flow or minimizing the total AGV transitions in each zone. In this paper, we focus on minimizing total cumulative flow among workstations. This objective allocates workstations to an AGV route such that total waiting time of workstations to be supplied by the AGV is minimized. We develop a property which simplifies the available mathematical formulation of the problem. We also develop a heuristic algorithm for the problem. Computational results show that our heuristic could yield very high-quality solutions and...

Abstract
Linear-dendritic ABA triblock copolymers containing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as B block and hyperbranched poly(citric acid) (PCA) as A blocks were synthesized through polycondensation. The molecular self-assembly of synthesized PCA-PEG-PCA copolymers in water led to formation of nanoparticles and fibers in different sizes and shapes depending on the time and size of PCA blocks. Ten days after dissolving PCA-PEG-PCA copolymers in water, the size of fibers had reached several millimeters. Mixing a water solution of fluorescein as a small guest molecule and PCA-PEG-PCA copolymers led to the encapsulation of fluorescein by products of molecular self-assembly. To investigate their potential...

Stop-skipping and timetable synchronization are two effective strategies to reduce total passengers’ travel time in a transit network for subway operation. However, the majority of studies conducted on the topic do not consider stop-skipping strategy and timetable synchronization simultaneously. Thus, this article proposes a mixed-integer programming model considering both strategies simultaneously. The model is based on passenger smart-card data concerning the trains’ capacity to minimize total passengers’ waiting time and in-vehicle time and maximize the number of passengers who successfully reach their destination in a specific study horizon. Since increasing the number of trains,...

Abstract
Estimating the mechanical properties of metal foams is becoming important in developing new materials and advancing new manufacturing processes. Among various mechanical properties, effective Young’s modulus as one of the key properties may be evaluated through several measurement methods, but because of some limitations, merely a few techniques can be used in each application. Metal foam as a novel conventional material is one of the significant materials with limited methods for effective Young’s modulus measurement. Recently, several empirical relationships have been developed between effective Young’s modulus and metal foam’s porosity to estimate its elasticity based on the material’s...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Poorzahedy, Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
Land use and transportation are interrelated, and as a result in cities’ development plans, there is a need for a model that can consider both of them simultaneously. The model presented in this study is bi-level. The upper level designs the zonal population and employment, and transportation network link capacities. Its objective is to minimize the total cost of residence, receiving goods and services, and transportation. The lower level consists of two inter-related problems. One of these problems determines the allocation of population and employment and the other obtains link flows by a joint bi-modal mode choice assignment model. This study aims to develop a meta-heuristic algorithm to...

Abstract
In recent decades, population growth, agricultural development and climate change have caused environmental problems in the world, especially in the arid and semi-arid regions such as Iran. Urmia Lake, one of the unique biosphere reserves of the world, has suffered from these problems in the last 20 years. Although many studies conducted to the negative impacts of human-induced activities, especially agricultural expansion on the lake, few studies focused on providing restoration plans for that. This study uses a system dynamics method for modelling the restorations scenarios of Urmia Lake based on the prey-predator approach. This method is helpful to simplify the complicated feedbacks and...
