Abstract
Grammar induction is a basic step in natural language processing. Based on the volume of information that is used by different methods, we can distinguish three types of grammar induction method: supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised. Supervised and semisupervised methods require large tree banks, which may not currently exist for many languages. Accordingly, many researchers have focused on unsupervised methods. Unsupervised Data Oriented Parsing (UDOP) is currently the state of the art in unsupervised grammar induction. In this paper, we show that the performance of UDOP in free word order languages such as Persian is inferior to that of fixed order languages such as English. We...

Abstract
Adhesive and cohesive properties of the plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings, deposited on Ti-6Al-4V substrates by varying the plasma power level and spray distance (SD), were evaluated by an indentation method. The crystallinity and the porosity decreased with increasing both of these two parameters. The microhardness value, Young's modulus (E) and coating fracture toughness (K C ) were found to increase with a combinational increase in spray power and SD. The Knoop and Vickers indentation methods were used to estimate E and K C , respectively. The critical point at which no crack appears at the interface was determined by the interface indentation test. This was used to define the...

Abstract
The effect of grit blasting parameters on the surface roughness of Ti-6Al-4V alloy as the substrate for plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings was examined using the factorial and Taguchi designs of experiments. In this study, two grit materials (Al2O3 and SiO2) each at two sizes, and two types of blasting systems (pressure and suction) were used. An equivalent surface roughness of 3.51 μm was obtained in three optimum conditions. The results of the Taguchi designed experiments were analyzed using signal to noise ratio. The tensile bonding strength of HA coatings deposited on the roughened substrates at the three different optimum conditions was measured by the standard adhesion test...
Persian Grammar Induction Using Unsupervised Data Oriented Parsing
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ghassem Sani, Gholamreza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Automatic grammar induction is one of attractive research topics in natural language processing field. Automatic grammar induction methods can be categorized into three main groups of supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised methods based on the type of training data that they need. Unsupervised methods are more difficult than two other. Data Oriented Parsing (DOP) is one of successful methods in unsupervised group. This method has been trained by some examples of language as same as child, then it parses new sentences based on its training knowledge. The aim of this project is finding and improving performance of UDOP method on Persian language as a Free Word Order language. Results of...
Security Policy Enforcement on Heavy Network Traffic
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jalili, Rasool (Supervisor)
Abstract
Today’s large networks, such as global enterprise networks, carry heavy network traffic from a wide range of diverse protocols. Scalable and accurate classifcation of network traffic is of the most importance to security policy enforcement of large networks. The complexity of current network traffic along with the high speed links makes traffic classification more difficult. The dynamicity of heavy network traffic have necessitated the need for traffic classification algorithms which are adaptable to new concepts. The changes in traffic characteristic over time lead to concept drift, which is an important challenge in this domain. Data stream classification methods have been introduced to...
In vitro dissolution of plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite coatings with different characteristics: Experimental study and modeling
, Article Biomedical Materials ; Volume 3, Issue 1 , 2008 ; 17486041 (ISSN) ; Ziaei Moayyed, A. A ; Sheikh Mehdi Mesgar, A ; Sharif University of Technology
2008
Abstract
The dissolution of plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (PHA) coatings with different characteristics, produced by various spraying conditions, in a Tris-buffered solution at pH 7.4 was experimentally studied through the measurement of the release of calcium ions. The phase composition of the coatings at surface and interface, and the porosity were evaluated. The analytical modeling revealed that the calcium dissolution process was composed of two stages. The first stage was found to be both surface and diffusion controlled. The second stage was an exactly diffusion-controlled dissolution. In the first stage, the rate of dissolution and the solubility of the coatings with minimum contents of...
Probabilistic Bi-Objective Location Routing Problem with Direct Shipment and Split Delivery
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Akbari Jokar, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
This thesis studies a probabilistic bi-objective location-routing problem that considers multi-product, multi-period system with direct shipment and split delivery which is a case study in SAIPA Group. This model also considers location, allocation and routing decisions in three-level supply chain including factories, distribution centers and customers. Each product for each DC can be supplied by more than one supplier in each period of time, and each factory has a limited capacity. As shortage isn’t allowable, all of the customer’s demand should be satisfied in each period of time. Since customer’s demand could be more than vehicle’s capacity, each customer could be visited more than once...

Abstract
Using multiple antennas at the transmit and receive sides of a passive radar brings both the benefits of MIMO radar and passive radar. However one of the obstacles arisen in such configuration is the receive antennas placement in proper positions so that the radar performance is improved. Here we just consider the case of positioning one receiver among multiple illuminators of opportunity. Indeed it is a start for the solution of optimizing the geometry of the multiple receivers in a passive radar

Abstract
In this paper, we consider an integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system with wireless power transfer (WPT) where an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based radar serves a group of energy-limited communication users in addition to its sensing functionality. In this architecture, the radar senses the environment in phase 1 (namely sensing phase) and mean-while, the communications users (nodes) harvest and store the energy from the radar transmit signal. The stored energy is then used for information transmission from the nodes to UAV in phase 2, i.e., uplink phase. Performance of the radar system depends on the transmit signal as well as the receive filter; the energy of the transmit...

Abstract
One of the important obstacles in MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) radars is the issue of designing proper transmit signals. Indeed, the capability of signal design is a significant advantage in MIMO radars, through which, the system can achieve much better performance. Many different aspects of this performance improvement have been considered yet, and the transmit signals have been designed to attain such goal, e.g., getting higher SNR or better detector's performance at the receiver. However, an important tool for evaluating the radar's performance is its ambiguity function. In this paper, we consider the problem of transmit signal design, in order to optimize the ambiguity function...
Detection-localization tradeoff in MIMO radars

Abstract
Two gains play key roles in recently developed MIMO wireless communication systems: "spatial diversity" gain and "spatial multiplexing" gain. The diversity gain refers to the capability to decrease the error rate of the MIMO channel, while the multiplexing gain implicitly refers to the amount of increase in the capacity of the MIMO channel. It has been shown that there is a fundamental tradeoff between these two types of gains, meaning interplay between increasing reliability (via an increase in the diversity gain) and increasing data rate (via an increase in the multiplexing gain). On the other hand, recently, MIMO radars have attracted much attention for their superior ability to enhance...
Antenna placement and power allocation optimization in MIMO detection
, Article IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems ; Vol. 50, Issue 2 , April , 2014 , pp. 1468-1478 ; Chitgarha, M. M ; Majd, M. N ; Nayebi, M. M ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
It is a well known fact that using multiple antennas at transmit and receive sides improves the detection performance. However, in such multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configuration, proper positioning of transmitters and receivers is a big challenge that can have significant influence on the performance of the overall system. In addition, determining the power of each transmitter under a total power constraint is a problem that should be solved in order to enhance the performance and coverage of such a system. In this paper, we design the Neyman-Pearson detector under the Rayleigh scatter model and use it to introduce a criterion for the antenna placement at both transmit and receive...

Abstract
There has been much interest, recently, towards exploiting the Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technique in radar. It is shown that using multiple antennas at transmit and receive sides can improve the performance of the system. However, in order to analyze the system's performance, its ambiguity function, i.e. the ambiguity function of a MIMO radar, is needed to be defined. In this paper, beginning from the information theoretic definitions, we derive such function, specifically for a MIMO radar with widely separated antennas

Abstract
By combining the two ideas of MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) and PCL (Passive Coherent Location) in radar, one can achieve the advantages of both recently developed techniques simultaneously. While using multiple antennas at the receive side provides a spatial diversity of the object to be detected, using multiple illuminators of opportunity, most importantly, makes the radar covert to the interceptors. One obstacle in such MIMO configuration is choosing the positions of the receive antennas. In this paper, after analyzing the Neyman-Pearson detector for the DVB-T based PCL, we introduce the probability of missed detection as a criterion to place the receive antenna. Here, we only...

Abstract
One of the most important obstacles in passive radar applications is removing the direct signal from the target channel. Otherwise, week echoes from the targets in the target channel would be ignored due to the limited dynamic range of the system. One of the most effective techniques in this field is using adaptive filters. In this paper various adaptive filters are introduced and their performances are shown and compared
Ambiguity function based receiver placement in multi-site radar
, Article 2016 CIE International Conference on Radar, RADAR 2016, 10 October 2016 through 13 October 2016 ; 2017 ; 9781509048281 (ISBN) ; Chitgarha, M. M ; Nazari Majd, M ; Nayebi, M. M ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
It has been shown that using multiple antennas in a radar system improves the performance considerably, since multiple target echoes are received from different aspect angles of the target. In this way, the target detection is improved. However, when using multiple antennas, some problems, such as designing the transmit signals, synchronization, etc. emerge that should be solved. One of such problems is the receiver placement. Receiver placement deals with choosing a proper position for the receive antenna in order to optimize the whole system's performance. In this paper, a receiver placement procedure based on improving the radar ambiguity function is proposed for the case of a multisite...

Abstract
By employing the MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output) technology in radar, some new problems emerged, that, in order to benefit the MIMO gains in radar, it was necessary to solve them suitably. One of such obstacles is determining the positions of receive antennas in a MIMO radar system with widely separated antennas (WS MIMO radar), since it is shown that the antennas' positions affect the whole system's performance considerably. In this study, a proper receivers' positioning procedure is proposed. To do this end, four criteria are developed based on the proposed MIMO detector and the MIMO ambiguity function. The simulations verify that the proposed positioning procedure improves the...

Abstract
Modified couple stress theory is a size-dependent theorem capturing the micro/nanoscale effects influencing the mechanical behaviors of the micro- and nanostructures. In this paper, it is applied to investigate the nonlinear vibration of carbon nanotubes under step DC voltage. The vibration, natural frequencies and dynamic pull-in characteristics of the carbon nanotubes are studied in detail. Moreover, the effects of various boundary conditions and geometries are scrutinized on the dynamic characteristics. The results reveal that application of this theory leads to the higher values of the natural frequencies and dynamic pull-in voltages
