Broadcasting in wireless ad hoc networks serves many important tasks such as data dissemination and route establishment in which one node sends its data to all other network nodes. The most popular form of broadcasting adopted by many ad-hoc protocols is flooding. In flooding, each node receiving a packet from a neighboring node rebroadcasts it exactly once. Wide adoption of flooding for broadcasting traffic is mainly due to its simplicity. The importance of performance analysis of flooding lies on its aforementioned popularity. The parameters of interest in analysis of flooding are network coverage, energy consumption and broadcast throughput while network coverage is the average percentage... 

In today's world, mobile network technology and artificial intelligence models have made significant advancements. In this project, we intend to combine the two elements of mobile networks and artificial intelligence to reveal new aspects of these two fields, which have been less practically addressed in the past. In implementing this mobile network, we use the cloud-native software concept, which existed in the software world before mobile networks and became widespread around 2014 with Google’s introduction of Kubernetes. Another notable point in the world of computer science that helps us is the recent advancements in the field of artificial intelligence. In fact, with increased... 

Nowadays the importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in daily life cannot be denied. Apart from improving quality of life, AI can be utilized to increase industrial efficiency and lower human errors. Due to the high computational needs of AI models, especially those based on Deep Neural Networks (DNN), powerful cloud computing servers are used to execute these models. However, low latency requirements, communicational pressure on the network backbone, and privacy concerns have made it possible for another computational paradigm to tackle these issues. This computational paradigm is called edge computing and is based on utilizing hardware resources available at the network edge and user... 

In present thesis, the effect of cosmological constant, Λ, in bending of light by spherical symmetric mass has been studied. At first we obtain the Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution as spherical symmetric solution of General relativity field equations with cosmological constant, without we suppose the solution is static. Then we obtain gravitational lens equation by considering the space geometry and we benefited from several approach to specify the contribution of cosmological constant to the deflection angle. Furthermore we put new upper bounds on the value of the lambda independently of cosmological constraints. Finally for study the contribution of lambda in gravitational lensing... 

Gravitational lensing affects not only the position and number of images of cosmic objects but also their shapes. In the so-called weak gravitational lensing effects related to shape of the cosmic objects are studied. These require high quality images and wide field of view. Because of technology development and production of multi-chip CCD cameras in recent decades, we are witnessing an increase in the number of projects using weak lensing techniques. Taking instrumental errors into account, the first step in weak lensing studies should be the proper data reduction to produce final images in which instrumental errors are removed and have sufficient precision to be processed. In This thesis...

In recent years, the use of embedded processors has grown increasingly in wide range of computer systems; so that most of manufactured CPUs are used in emebedded systems many of which are safty-critical systems such as medical devices, aircraft flight control, space systems, nuclear systems, etc. The incidence of failure in these systems can cause irreversible damages on human life, financial or environmental matters. Silicon process technology trends, such as reducing the threshold voltage, increasing the frequency and decreasing the size of transistors, not only caused increase in single-bit fault rate but also caused occurance of multi-bit faults. Due to importance ofcorrect operation of... 

Over the past two decades, several studies have been investigated on synthesis and properties of semi-conductor quantum dots because of their applications in sensors, LEDs, detectors, solar cells, etc. One of challenging issues in synthesizing these nano-particles is their size distribution. In this study, Cadmium Selenide was synthesized by the method of colloidal synthesis. X-ray diffraction showed that the crystalline nano-particles have wurtzite structure. For obtaining a uniform size distribution, effect of various parameters such as molar ratio of components and reaction temperature on the growth kinetics of these particles, were studied. Results showed that molar ratio of Selenium to...

Although villagers and nomads are an important part of Iran's population, the growth of cities has led to neglecting them and their needs including traveling and transportation needs. The aim of this study is to recognize and to study the transportation demands in a pastoral nomadic society. For this purpose, the theory of activity-based modeling was studied. Sequential modeling was chosen which considers the daily activities of each person as a result of five sequential decisions: a) choosing daily activity pattern; b) choosing primary tour time; c) choosing primary tour mode choice; d) choosing secondary tour time; and e) choosing secondary tour mode choice. In order to conduct a survey... 

Inflation is the leading paradigm for the theory of early universe and the mechanism for generating the seeds of perturbation in cosmic microwave background and large scale structure. In this thesis various aspects of primordial anisotropies and the effects of long mode during inflation are studied. There exist two powerful tools in studying the effects of super-horizon inflationary perturbations, namely, Maldacena’s consistency condition and Weinberg’s theorem. However, there are inflationary models, such as solid inflation and non-attractor inflation, which evade these theorems and in this thesis we study their consequences and features. At first we study statistical anisotropy in the... 

In the most cosmological models which already have putted forth, metric has a spherical symmetry; however, according to the galaxy’s shape is not a real approximation. In order to build a more acqurate model, by applying a particular conformal transformation on the static vacuum solution, we introduce a new metric which is axially symmetric and also it approaches to FLRW metric at space infinity. The cosmological model according to this metric has especial features;The solution we have found represent a spacetime which is axially symmetric although it leads to a spherically symmetric Einstein tensor. Therefore, we have found a solution of Einstein equations representing a spherically... 

Studing the Scattering Amplitudes has a crucial importance in Quantum Field Theory; and nowadays; there have been many progress in computing these observables: Scattering amplitudes respect the symmetries of a theory: However; it is possible for them to have more symmetries than ones can be seen from the lagrangian of the theory: On the other hand; Feynman diagrams which manifest the locality and unitarity of the theory are not applicable in these kind of theories; since for computing the easiest scattering amplitudes thousends of these diagrams must be computed: In this work; we are going to see using BCFW recursion relation and onshell diagrams how it is easy to compute the scattering... 

Nowadays binary sensors such as infrared sensors are vastly employed in industrial, commercial and general applications due to their simplicity and low price. Beam sensors are common type of these sensors which can detect objects when they cross its beam. Sequence of sensors which are crossed in a time order is called sensor word. Consider an object, produced sensor word shows the order which it has crossed the beams. If we have more than one object then sensor word is combination of all sensor words produced by all object. We need to separate each sensor word. In this research, sensor word is developed to Fixed-Charge Minimum Cost Maximum Flow Network type.In this case, the consequent...
