Study of real networks has become an important research task. Real networks appear in different domains such as social networks and biological networks. It is also possible to extract various networks from the set of scientific collaborations of published papers. In this project we investigate the analysis of citation network and co-authorship networks of scientific papers in order to find out a new method in citation recommendation of scientific papers. Presented method have some superior properties over existing citation recommendation systems like combining different fields for suggesting most relevant papers to user, in response of user’s input keywords. For presenting this method we... 

Data outsourcing provides cost-saving and availability guarantees. However, privacy and confidentiality issues, disappoint owners from outsourcing their data. Although solutions such as CryptDB and SDB tried to provide secure and practical systems, their enforced limitations, made them useless in practice. Inability in search on encrypted data, is one of the most important existing challenges in such systems. Furthermore, the overhead of mechanisms such as FHEs, removes them from considering for any practical system. Indeed, special purpose encryptions would be the only usable mechanisms for such purposes. However, their limited functionality does not support some important required... 

One of the most important issues in welding is residual stresses. It is desirable to produce less residual stresses when possible and to reduce them which remain in the structure. At the present, various methods have been developed to reduce the residual stresses. The most important methods are heat treatment, shot peening, and grinding. The main problem in using these methods is cost, and for large structures these methods are often impractical. In recent decades, a technique called vibratory stress relief has been developed. It is used for large structures without limitation of size and weight; besides, the cost of this process is much less in comparison with other conventional methods... 

In the recent years, the cooperative communications based on Network Coding have received significant attentions to simultaneously improve the diversity order and the network throughput. In this thesis, a new cooperative transmission scheme for the cooperative relay-based networks called “Convolutional Network-Coded Cooperation” (CNCC) is proposed, in which a systematic convolutional code is used in the network level. In this scheme, the systematic packets are directly transmitted by the sources, and the parity packets, calculated based on the received sources’ packets, are transmitted by the relays. The proposed CNCC scheme is considered in the cooperative networks including N sources, M... 

In this paper we study a two-echelon system including a vendor and a serviceprovider in customer-intensive services which introduced by Anand et al. (2011). Customers wish for high quality of service, which leads to longer service time for the service-provider. In the other hand, longer service times can cause to longer waiting time which is not desired for customers. So, tradeoff between service rate and quality of service/or product is critical. The market demand is according to Poisson process. The vendor will immediately send the order to the service-provider which works as a M/M/1 production system. The transportation time between the service-provider and vendor controlled by the... 

According to the increasing need of the world to increase the speed of existing technologies such as computers, cars, urban transport, etc. The need to carry goods at higher speeds is also a concern that due to its cost It can make a significant contribution to the economy. In the maritime industries, in addition to the commercial and economic orientation, there is also military capability the speed factor and the ability to navigate is very important for military vessels. The power in the sea is inevitably dependent to speed, so for Increasing the speed of vessels with regard to military and economic objectives needs optimized Propulsion systems which There are also limitations for them.... 

Nowadays, using one-pot multicomponent reactions in the synthesis of organic and natural compounds has attracted a lot of attention due to their ideal synthetic features. These types of reactions play an important role in synthetic chemistry by reducing reaction steps, costs, wastes, and by-products and increasing the reaction efficiency as an efficient method. The issue that led to this project was the development of a novel procedure for developing synthetic methods for the synthesis of thioxo-pyrrolidine 3-carbutamide compounds. In this study, the first Mumm rearrangement was performed by using dithiocarbamates by applying ultrasonic irradiation. The reaction was investigated in methanol... 

Copper-based semiconductors have received a great deal of attention due to their high absorption coefficient, direct and adjustable energy gap with stoichiometry, low frequency and toxicity. Multicomponent nanocrystals such as CuInS2, Cu (In, Ga) (S, Se) 2, Cu2ZnSnS4 and Cu2SnS3 (CTS) have been successfully synthesized by colloidal synthesis and have shown application potentials such as energy conversion, photocatalyst, thermoelectric and biomedical. Among these, the CTS ternary semiconductor with p-type conduction is one of the most well-known compounds of group I-IV-VI, which consists of abundant and non-toxic elements. In this research, thin-film solar cells with FTO / TiO2 / In2S3 / CdS... 

Earth dams are among the most important and widely used civil structures, playing a significant role in water supply, energy production, and flood control. Monitoring dam behavior provides professionals with insights into its performance over time. Dam displacement is a crucial factor in deformation and potential failure, making it essential to use various measurement tools to control deformation and numerous simulation models to analyze data and monitor the dam continuously. However, it is not always possible to record data regularly and without disturbance, and some dams may lack these measurement tools altogether. In such cases, new technologies like remote sensing can significantly aid...
