Recent advances in storage and processing have provided the ability of automatic gathering of information which in turn leads to fast and contineous flow of data. The data which are produced and stored in this way are named data streams. It has many applications such as processing financial transactions, the recorded data of various sensors or the collected data by web sevices. Data streams are produced with high speed, large size and much dynamism and have some unique properties which make them applicable in precise modeling of many real data mining applications. The main challenge of data streams is the occurrence of concept drift which can be in four types: sudden, gradual, incremental or... 

This research aims to introduce a new integrated fault tolerant attitude control system of satellites based on the neural networks. First, a linear controller and an optimal controller are designed assuming that no fault occurs in the reaction wheels of the satellite. It is obvious that these controllers are not able to respond properly when a fault occurs. Therefore, artificial neural networks are employed in the fault tolerant controller design. Neural networks are well-known for their adaptiveness and the ability to learn the dynamics of a system. Therefore, they can be used to predict the faulty conditions. In this research two approaches are examined to deal with the faulty conditions.... 

People use social networks to share millions of stories every day, but these stories rarely become viral. Can we estimate the probability that a story becomes a u/rof cascade? If so, can we find a set of users that are more likely to trigger viral cascades? There are many factors influenced the message virality. In this thesis, we investigate the effect of graph structure, diffusion pattern as well as the message text on virality measure. Finally, the authors solve both source localization and inferring COVID-19 network via propsed methods.First, the authors investigate probability estimation and maximization of cascade virality. In this section, we develop an efficient viral cascade... 

The harmful environmental effects of gases resulting from the combustion of sulfur compounds in fuel, poisoning of catalysts, corrosion of equipment, as well as the intensification of environmental considerations and new standards adopted for the maximum amount of sulfur, have made the desulfurization of fuels important; Meanwhile, the desulfurization method using hydrogen has a high potential to remove sulfur compounds. For example, diesel fuel contains a variety of impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen (basic and Non-basic), and aromatic compounds, the sulfur in diesel fuel causes many problems related to environmental pollution and corrosion of engine components. Also, due to the high... 

The objective of this research is evaluating the effect of filler type and content on the characteristics of asphaltic materials. The properties of the asphalt mixture are greatly influenced by its components. As asphalt mixtures are composed of two prominent components, aggregates and binder, the change in type and contents of these materials may lead to altering the performance of asphalt mixtures. Aggregates in the asphalt mixtures are categorized into three groups based on their particle sizes: coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and mineral filler. The effect of filler on the characteristics of asphalt mixtures can be examined by changing the type and content of filler and holding the... 

Increasing global final energy demand and the use of fossil fuels to meet this amount of energy demand have raised concerns about environmental impacts of fossil fuel consumption and the reduction of fossil energy reserves. Among the energy consumer sectors including industry, transport activities, agriculture, and households, the household sector is one of the most important sectors, regarding its share of total final energy consumption. Heating and cooling systems, which mainly use fossil fuels, are the biggest energy consumers in the household sector. Hence, optimal management of the heating and cooling systems can play an effective role in reducing energy costs in buildings. In this... 

Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg) which is one of the newest and important business models, can have a great effect in enterprises' success by sharing information and production resources among them. Due to the semi-made products which should be transferred between distributed production centers, Logistics and Transportation concept in CMfg are very important. Reverse Logistics (RL) that is the flow of used products from customer to manufacturer, by its role in recycling and proper disposal of components, has a great impact on industry effect on environment and helps enteprises to make better profit. Despite this importance, working on RL in CMfg has not been paid attention to in former researches.... 

The problem of joint design of transmit code and receive filter is considered in many application scenarios of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar systems. The performance of the joint design problem is evaluated with the signal-to-interference ratio (SINR) metric in the presence of noise. In such problems, the optimization problem is to maximize SINR on the receiver side with the constraints that are applied on the transmitted waveform. Our proposed method, RTR, is a manifold-based geometric method that performs better than the SDP method in terms of algorithm execution speed and calculation complexity. For simulation, we took sampled and real TIR with Target Aspect Angle (TAA) in a... 

Kolyvagin’s theorem, stated in the late 1980s, is a very important theorem in the theory of elliptic curves, which, together with Gross-Zagier’s work, results in a special case of the Birch and Swinerton-Dyer conjecture, which relates algebraic and analytic properties of the rational elliptic curves to each other. Although the correctness of this conjecture, in general, is an open problem, Kolyvagin’s idea and the concepts he introduced while proving his theorem are very powerful and can be applied to more general situations. The purpose of writing this dissertation is to collect the equivalent forms of Kolyvagin’s theorem with proofs of the main results. We will also give a brief overview... 

Recently, some materials, such as Weyl and Dirac semimetals, have been found in condensed matter physics whose band structure behaves like Weyl fermions of elementary particles near some points of the first Birillouin zone. The Weyl equation that governs these materials, have boundary because they are finite. By applying proper boundary conditions, two-dimensional surface states have been emerged. these states are called fermi arc sates because the surface corresponding to the fermi energy is not a closed surface. Surface states are mixed with bulk states because by getting close to the end of fermi arcs, surface states tend to bulk states con-tinuously. Being able to distinguish between...
