Abstract
The Standard Model ΛCDM which includes cold dark matter and cosmological constant components provides a good fit to a large span of cosmological data and large scale structures. Recent results of local measurements of Hubble constant rely on observations of type 1A supernovae have shown 4σ tension comparing H0 to the value inferred from cosmic microwave background observations assuming ΛCDM. The Hubble parameter appears in the cosmic microwave background as one of the standard cosmological model parameters. If these observations are not the result of statistical or systematic error, They could represent new physics beyond the standard ΛCDM cosmological model. The purpose of this thesis is to...

Abstract
Application of a fast hybrid transfer switch (HTS) as a suitable tool for protection of sensitive electrical loads against power quality problems has attracted much attentions these days. In this paper, methods for desired control of a HTS which consists of a fast fault-detection method and a suitable firing and transfer strategy are proposed. Simulation results of a HTS under various operating conditions for two types of medium-voltage electrical systems, i.e. grounded (star connection) and ungrounded (delta connection) systems, with respect to total transfer time are presented. The results show the capability of the HTS and the proposed control methods in fast transferring of sensitive...
Cosmic Neutrinos at Neutrino Telescopes CP-violation, Source Properties and Beyond the Standard Model Physics
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Farzan, Yasaman (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis, we studied the oscillation of neutrino flavors and the measurement of mixing parameters through the detection of cosmic neutrinos at neutrino telescopes. Most of the astrophysical explosions predict the emission of neutrino flux and kilometer-scale detectors are under construction for the observation of these neutrinos. Detection of astrophysical neutrinos opens a new window to understand the neutrino properties and also the properties of astrophysical sources.In this thesis first we review the phenomenology of neutrino flavor oscillation and characteristics of neutrino mass matrix. By introducing a new class of invariants (under general transformation of lepton fields bases)...
Dynamics of Two Coupled Neurons of Different Types of Excitability
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Razvan, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Excitability is one of the most important characteristics of a neuron. In 1948, Hodgkin identified three different types of excitability of neurons. Excitability an all of its types can be observed in Hodgkin-Huxley model of neuronal dynamics (H-H model) as a four-dimensional system of differential equations and in at least two dimensional reductions of H-H type models. By applying the theory of dynamical systems (e.g. bifurcation theory), one can give a mathematical definition of excitability.Excitability of the neuron is equivalent to that the neuronal model is near a bifurcation through which the state of the system approaches to a stable limit cycle. In this thesis, a two-dimensional...
Global analysis of a delay SVEIR epidemiological model
, Article Iranian Journal of Science and Technology, Transaction A: Science ; Volume 37, Issue A4 , 2013 , Pages 483-489 ; 10286276 (ISSN) ; Razvan, M. R ; Yasaman, S ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
This paper is concerned with global analysis of a delay SVEIR epidemiological model in a population of varying size. By using Lyapunov stability method and LaSalle's invariance principle for delay systems, we prove that when there is no endemic equilibrium, the disease free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, otherwise the endemic equilibrium is globally stable
Particles in the early Universe: Interface of Cosmology and Particles Massive Neutrinos and Cosmology
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Golshani, Mehdi (Supervisor) ; Farzan, Yasaman (Supervisor)
Abstract
Neutrino flavor oscillations are clear evidence of massive neutrinos. It has been for more than a decade that neutrino physics became one of active topics in the field of particle physics and various experiments started studying the flavor oscillation of neutrinos. Unfortunately, experiments studying the flavor oscillations are only sensitive to the mass square difference, and they are incapable of providing more information about the absolute mass scale of neutrinos. Additionally, sterile neutrinos having non-standard interactions are under vast investigations and studies. Determination of neutrino masses and their effective number is among the most challenging problems by which...
Influence of Floor Diaphragm on Seismic Response of RC Structures
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khaloo, Alireza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Modeling is one of the most important steps in analysis and design of structures. Most of the time behavior of floor diaphragms is assumed completely rigid in their plane in order to simplicity in practical design. Although this assumption leads to acceptable results in analysis and design of conventional buildings, erroneous results may assess in some particular buildings—for instance narrow buildings with stiff end walls. Accordingly, behavior of these buildings in future earthquakes opposes those were predicted in design phase, and they are so vulnerable since in-plane deflection of floor diaphragms are striking which cannot be ignored. This thesis investigates the significance of...

Abstract
This study presents the results of failure analysis of a 28 MW gas turbine at the Rei electrical power plant. The gas turbine failed during the shutdown period and near its second natural frequency at 4200 rpm. Initial inspections revealed that the compressor disk of stage 15 was fractured, and all of the stationary and rotary blades of stages 14-18 of the compressor had been detached or broken from the dovetail region of the disks. The fracture roots were investigated by performing finite element modeling and fractography analysis. It was shown that a crack was initiated from the disk edge on its interface with the rotor shaft and was propagated under cyclic loading. As a result of the...
Object-oriented design for system identification and its application in chemical engineering industries
, Article International Journal of Modelling and Simulation ; Volume 33, Issue 1 , 2013 , Pages 33-39 ; 02286203 (ISSN) ; Boozarjomehry, R. B ; Sharif University of Technology
2013
Abstract
Application of advanced process control methods in a chemical plant requires a model which represents the transient behaviour of the plant. However, only a few plant-wide identification methods have been proposed for chemical processes. In this paper, an objectoriented process identifier (OPI) framework has been introduced for plant-wide identification to show how using object-oriented design can provide a general plant-wide modelling framework for various systems including chemical processes. The interactions between units are considered in plant-wide identification methods. As a result, the obtained models can predict the system behaviour in new operating conditions better than those...

Abstract
MD simulations were used for investigation on the kinetic formation of Ni-Pd nanoalloys at different simulation times. We have examined excess energies and bond order parameters for initial gas phase compositions including pure Ni, and Pd, and also Ni0.2Pd0.8, Ni0.4Pd0.6, Ni0.6Pd0.4, Ni0.8Pd0.2 concentrations. Excess energies for created Ni-Pd nanoalloys exhibit more instabilities for larger nanoparticles. Also, bond order results demonstrate amorphous structures for all of created nanoclusters. Moreover, number of formed clusters for pure Ni at 5 ns is more than pure Pd nanoclusters and number of formed clusters decreases when Pd is doped in pure Ni nanocluster. © 2017 Elsevier B.V

Abstract
A computer-controlled pilot plant has been constructed to study the dynamical behavior and control of the thermal cracking furnace. The governing equations that describe the furnace dynamics are presented, and, based on these equations and a kinetic model, software that simulates the steady-state behavior of the system has been developed. The furnace is divided into eight zones that can be heated independently, and, therefore, any desired temperature profile can be applied. The variables to be measured are the furnace zone temperature, coil outlet temperature (COT), and product yield. Two different control strategies (namely, COT control and furnace wall temperature control) are applied...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Saeedi, Mohammad Saeed (Supervisor)
Abstract
Dialysis which is an imperfect but most common treatment option for renal failure is divided into two main types:"peritoneal dialysis" and "hemodialysis". Peritoneal dialysis uses a fluid that is placed into the patient's stomach cavity through a special plastic tube to remove excess waste products and fluid from the body.Hemodialysis uses a special type of filter to remove excess waste products and water from the body and is divided to two groups :Clinical and Home.During hemodialysis, blood passes from the patient's body through a filter in the dialysis machine. In this Study first the basic aspect of renal failure and principle of dialysis process are described.Then information about...

Abstract
An experimental study of wear characteristics of electroless Ni-10% P coating sliding against hard AISI 52100 steel pin is investigated. Experiments are carried out at room and 550°C temperatures. Heat treatment effects on tribological behavior of this coating are studied. The wear surface and the microstructure of the coatings are analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion analysis X-ray, and microhardness testing equipment. It is observed that the forming of continuous oxide film on contacting surfaces of pin and disk improves wear resistance and decreases friction coefficient of the Ni-10% P coating. The results indicate that the wear resistance of...

Abstract
In this brief, we use the alpha power law model for MOS devices to reach a more accurate modeling of CMOS buffers in very deep submicrometer technologies. We derive alpha model parameters of a CMOS buffer for 90-, 65-, and 45-nm technologies using HSPICE simulations. By analytical efforts we find the output resistance of a minimum-size buffer and compare it with those extracted from HSPICE simulations. We propose a new model for the output resistance of a given-size buffer in any technology, which demonstrates 3% error on average as opposed to the conventional model. Also a new buffer resistance is proposed analytically and numerically to calculate the crosstalk for interconnect analysis...

Abstract
A duplex surface treatment on DIN 1.2210 steel has been developed involving nitriding and followed by chromium thermo-reactive deposition (TRD) techniques. The TRD process was performed in molten salt bath at 550, 625 and 700°C for 1-14h. The process formed a thickness up to 9.5μm of chromium carbonitride coatings on a hardened diffusion zone. Characterization of the coatings by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) indicates that the compact and dense coatings mainly consist of Cr(C,N) and Cr2(C,N) phase. All the growth processes of the chromium carbonitride obtained by TRD technique followed a parabolic kinetics. Activation energy (Q) for the...

Effect of Time Fluctuation in Migration Probability in a Simple Evolution Model
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ejtehadi, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor) ; Kaveh, Kamran (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Understanding the complex dynamics of species populations in response to environmental and migratory pressures is essential for ecological and evolutionary studies. This study employs the Moran model to precisely analyze the population dynamics of mutant and native species on two interconnected islands under periodic migration. We examine three distinct migration scenarios: symmetric periodic migration, where migration probabilities between islands are equal; in-phase oscillatory migration with varying amplitudes, allowing for independent migration rates; and out-of-phase oscillatory migration, introducing phase-shifted migration patterns. Each scenario integrates unique migration...
