Internet of things (IOT) interconnects a system of low power embedded devices that each of them has a unique identifier, without human intervention. The number of devices of IOT increases every day, therefor routing in the network of IOT is an important challenge. So, Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) propose a protocol for routing low power and lossy networks in 2012, which is named RPL. Considering the power supply limitation of devices in the network, utilizing energy-aware policies within the RPL is so important. Meanwhile, objective functions have a vital role in the consuming energy. Also, energy consumption determines the lifetime of nodes. Since many of devices are placed in... 

Deterministic and Predictable behaviors are two important constraints in real-time embedded systems. Using cache memories alongside of CPUs may lead to nondeterministic and unpredictable behaviors in embedded systems. To avoid these behaviors, embedded system designers use Scratchpad Memories (SPMs). In addition, using embedded systems in safty-critical applications need to include reliability and fault tolerance. The first challenge to using SPM is the management of its contents,called SPM Mapping. SPM Mappingconsists of three important parts:1) Determining the most frequent parts of programs, 2) Efficient assignment of SPM area to those parts, and 3) Controlling the transitions of those... 

With the technology scaling trend in recent years, leakage power has become a major challenge for SRAM-based on-chip memories. According to the recent reports, SRAM-based on-chip memories contribute to more than half of the processors’ power consumption. Accordingly, in recent years, researchers have tried to find an alternative technology for SRAMs in on-chip memories. The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) recently announced that STT-MRAMs are the most promising technology to replace SRAMs. While STT-MRAMs benefit from low energy consumption, high endurance, and high density compared to other non-volatile memory technologies, comparing with SRAMs, STT-MRAMs have... 

The development of wind turbine blades model that accurately predict wind turbine thrust in a full range of applicable wind speed has provided a powerful and reliable source for simulation of horizontal axis wind turbine power and thrust force that serves as a valuable tool for wind turbine design and performance analysis. A single-element blade model that reduces the rotor blade characteristics to a lift and drag coefficient vs. angle-of-attack formulation was found to describe accurately the rotor characteristics over a wide operating range. Measurements of wind speed and altitude of wind turbine installation location, rotor speed, and provided thrust is within less than 2% over a wide... 

With the rise of the concept of “Big Data”, both data volumes and data processing time increased, imposing the need for new methods of processing and computation of said data.Analytical and computational methods in Machine Learning are some of the most important applications of Big Data processing. There exist many methods of data analysis in the Machine Learning field, each requiring extensive processing on Big Data. One of the methods for working with Big Data is Distributed Systems. MapReduce is one of the most popular methods distributed computation by increasing the ease and speed of distributed processing of big data. But a number of bottlenecks have been discovered in MapReduce which... 

In this manuscript we used the method of coset construction to describe theories of spontaneous symmetry breaking. The mathematical details are included in chapter 2. The utility of the method is that without any knowledge of the UV part of a theory we can construct IR part by just knowing the symmetry breaking pattern. We used the method for some symmetry breaking patterns to construct general relativity, massive gravity and also some symmetry breaking patterns corresponding to conformal gravity  

The system considered on this structure is for the design on mid-high Buildings from 15 and 20 floors above the base level and n floors below the base level and the limitation of the number of floors is due to the computer facility and restrictions. There is going to be an irregularity in some chosen floor at lower-floor, mid-floor, or upper-floor which is assuming one floor from the structure to have a different height with respect to the others. The height of the considered floor is going to increase up to 25% with respect to the other floors and the design of outriggers with these three assumptions is going to be assessed separately. In this system, a central core of steel is constructed... 

Today, telecommunication links transmit information wirelessly at high rates; The transmission channel is not ideal and the transmitted signal undergoes changes in the channel and then reaches the receiver; Also, the processing blocks in the transmitter and receiver are not completely similar and ideal; These two factors make it difficult for the receiver to recover the transmitted information and actually receives a signal that bears little resemblance to the transmitted signal. The most important effect that the channel has on the transmitted signal is due to the multi-path of the channel between the transmitter and the receiver, which causes a signal to reach the receiver through the... 

In recent years, after the emergence of the benefits of optical wire communication, which successfully replaced electromagnetic technologies in some applications. Attention to wireless optical communication technologies has also increased. These technologies will also find their place in telecommunication systems after maturing according to the specific characteristics of light in the coming years. This thesis is a report on the implementation of a LiFi system, which aims to create a wireless local area network based on optical communication. Previously, reports have been written about the implementation of this system, but in this thesis, for the first time, the implementation of hardware... 

The usage of plugin hybrid electric vehicles has environmental benefits. However, the penetration of these components raises important concerns for grid planning. Thus, it is necessary to model the load change due to their charge to investigate the impact of these vehicles on distribution networks. For this reason, it is necessary to determine the specifications of these vehicles, such as battery charge and energy consumption on daily trips. In addition, the study of some behavioral patterns of these vehicles and some experts are necessary to complete the model.In this thesis, an active distribution network is planned using dynamic programming formulation. In this model, some buses are added...
