    Project Procurement Scheduling Problem With Gradual Ordering and All-Unit Discount under The Presence of Multiple Suppliers

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Khojasteh, Arash (Author) ; Shadrokh, Shahram (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Simultaneous planning of project scheduling and material procurement can improve the project execution costs. Hence, the issue considering this approach that each activities requirement can be distributed on the duration of it, has been addressed here by a mixed-integer programming model (named model 2). The proposed model facilitates the procurement decisions by accounting for a number of suppliers offering a distinctive discount formula from which to purchase the required materials. This paper proposed a genetic algorithm combining with a heuristic method to deal with the problem. The underlying factors of the solution methods are calibrated by the Taguchi method to obtain robust...

    Some results on Cozero-divisor graph of a commutative ring

    , Article Journal of Algebra and its Applications ; Vol. 13, issue. 3 , May , 2014 ; ISSN: 02194988 Akbari, S ; Alizadeh, F ; Khojasteh, S ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Let R be a commutative ring with unity. The cozero-divisor graph of R denoted by Γ′(R) is a graph with the vertex set W*(R), where W*(R) is the set of all non-zero and non-unit elements of R, and two distinct vertices a and b are adjacent if and only if a ∉ Rb and b ∉ Ra. In this paper, we show that if Γ′(R) is a forest, then Γ′(R) is a union of isolated vertices or a star. Also, we prove that if Γ′(R) is a forest with at least one edge, then R ≅ ℤ2 ⊕ F, where F is a field. Among other results, it is shown that for every commutative ring R, diam(Γ′(R[x])) = 2. We prove that if R is a field, then Γ′(R[[x]]) is totally disconnected. Also, we prove that if (R, m) is a commutative local ring and...

    Geochemical Simulation of Acidizing Sandstone Core Samples

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Khojasteh Mehr, Mohammad (Author) ; Bazargan, Mohammad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Acidizing is one of the widely used practices of formation damage remediation. The success of this rather expensive job depends on the precise design and operation. Though, improper execution of an acid job, not only does not improve the formation damage but also can contribute to even more damage itself. For this purpose, it is critically important to thoroughly design an acidizing job conducting extensive lab experiments and utilizing numerical tools before operation in order for a successful acidizing. Unlike, carbonate acidizing, the chemistry of sandstone acidizing is very complex and challenging because of the wide variety of minerals and aqueous species present in the system. Hence, a...

    A 12-bit, 40MS/s, Low Power Pipelined SAR ADC

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Khojasteh Lazarjan, Vahid (Author) ; Haj Sadeghi, Khosro (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    High resolution and low power analog to digital converters are used in wireless communication receivers, Sensor Networks and Medical Instrumentations. Reducing power consumption at a high conversion rate is one of the most basic challenges for these converters. Pipelined SAR structure is considered for 40-50 MS/s and 10-12 bits, and is of interest because of consuming low power and using a small area. Besides using Pipelined SAR structure, circuit level and system level modifications are also proposed to decrease the power consumption. The ADC is designed in 0.18µm CMOS technology with 1.2v supply voltage. The results show 4.5mW power consumption, when ENOB is 11.04bit, which is very low...

    Abstract
    In this paper, we investigate PN-sequences with ideal autocorrelation property and the consequences of this property on the number of +1s and -1s and run structure of sequences. We begin by discussing and surveying about the length of PN-sequences with ideal autocorrelation property. From our discussion and survey we introduce circulant matrix representation of PN-sequence. Through circulant matrix representation we obtain system of non-linear equations that lead to ideal autocorrelation property. Rewriting PN-sequence and its autocorrelation property in {0,1} leads to a definition based on Hamming weight and Hamming distance and hence we can easily prove some results on the PN-sequences...

    Tropical Algebraic Geometry

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Yaghmayi, Keyvan (Author) ; Rastegar, Arash (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Tropical algebraic geometry is a fairly new branch in geometry which is called so in honor of Brazilian mathematician Imre Simon who was pioneer of this field.The set equipped with the addition and multiplication is a semifield.Algebraic geometry objects like algebraic varieties can be defined over.Polynomials and rational functions are defined over.The functions that they define are piecewise linear and concave functions and the set of points where they are nonlinear is a tropical variety which is a concave polyhedral. Thus, tropical algebraic geometry is a piecewise linear version of algebraic geometry.Another approach to tropical algebraic geometry comes back to the works of Russian... 

    Evaluating the Effect of Crumb Rubber on the Fracture Properties of Asphaltic Materials Using a Standardized Composite

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ghanbari, Amir (Author) ; Motamed, Arash (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Fatigue cracking has a major impact on the performance of flexible pavements. Many test methods have been established to evaluate and estimate the fatigue life of asphaltic materials. Most of these test methods cannot successfully examine the fatigue properties of asphaltic materials. Recent studies demonstrate that using a standardized composite, which consists of glass beads and asphalt binder, can simulate the stress states that binder experiences in the field. This research used standardized composite to investigate the effect of crumb rubber on the fracture properties of asphaltic materials. To validate the test results, the authors conducted fracture tests on the Fine Aggregate Matrix... 

    Novel View Synthesis Using Light Field Camera

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Bemana, Mojtaba (Author) ; Amini, Arash (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In the last two decades, novel view synthesis has become increasingly important in the movie and game industries. The new generated views correspond to virtual viewpoints, where no real camera has taken snapshot. Depending on the amount of available information from the scene, different approaches have been proposed to create novel views. If the depth information is available, then by knowing camera relative motion, novel views can be constructed. The conventional cameras only record the intensity of the captured scene, and discard the depth information. In the recent concept of light field cameras, by locating an array of micro-lenses between the camera sensor and the main lens, one can... 

    Developing a New Method to Evaluate and Quality Control of Chip Seal

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Jahi, Hamed (Author) ; Motamed, Arash (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Chip seal is one of the most economical pavement maintenance practice that extends pavement life. To ensure chip seal good performance several quality control methods have been developed. However, most of these methods are qualitative and only measure the stone loss under a certain number on loading. This research developed a new method for quality control of chip seal, based on the assumption that characteristics of the bond between chips and pavement surface play a key role in chip seal performance. To validate this test method, the authors used a wheel track loading test. The results from this research clearly showed that the characteristics of the bond between chips and pavement surface...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Razzaghi, Ashkan (Author) ; Abazari, Arash (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    A Spirit of Trust results from Brandom's thirty-year effort to give a pragmatistic reading of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. In A Spirit of Trust, Brandom reformulates Hegel's arguments in the language of contemporary Analytical Philosophy and gives a unique interpretation of Hegel's key concepts. In this Thesis, we will examine one of its key concepts, namely, Trust; We will pursue the following questions: First, What is Trust? And what is its connection to other aspects of Brandom's philosophy? Second, How does Trust help us in overcoming Alienation? Third, Are Confession and Forgiveness, which are the constitutive concepts of Trust, psychologistic or normative? Fourth, What is the... 

    Design of Stress Absorbing Membrane Interlayer (Sami) and Overlay to Reduce Reflective Cracking

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Taheri, Amir (Author) ; Motamed, Arash (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Cracks or construction joints in an overlayed pavement can propagate into the overlay over time due to various factors, the most important of which are traffic and temperature loading, and cause premature failure of pavement. This propagated cracks are called reflective cracks and the phenomenon of crack propagation into the overlay is called reflective cracking. Use of stress-absorbing membrane interlayers (SAMI) is one of the ways can reduce the occurrence of reflective cracking and/or delay it. One of the most common SAMIs is an asphalt mixture consists of bitumen and aggregate layed down between the old and the veneer layers. The function of the SAMI depends on several factors such as...
