In this research Ti-6Al-4V samples were surface treated with acid, alkali and sandblasting treatment. Alkali treatment parameter was the NaOH concentration. The results of roughness measurement demonstrate that increase in NaOH Concentration results in rougher surface. Sandblasting produces rough surfaces in the scale of 1 to 10 micrometers. Acid treatment reduces initial roughness and the resultant roughness is in the under micrometer scale. After surface treatment, samples were soaked in simulated body fluid for invitro assessment. Results of this analysis indicate that sample with sandblasting+chemical treatment has the best invitro bioactivity. Chemical+sandblasting treated sample shows... 

The advent and advance of single-cell technologies have enabled us to measure the cell function and identity by using different assays and viewing it by different technologies. Nowadays, we are able to measure multiple feature vectors from same- single cells from multiple abstract molecular levels (genome, transcriptome, proteome, ...) simultaneously. Hence, the analysts can view the cell from different yet correlated angles and study their behaviours. Such progress in joint single-cell assessments plus the development and spread of more common single-cell assays - that measure one feature vector per cell - caused the growing need for computational tools to integrate these datasets in order... 

Kinetics and mechanism of 4,4-dicyano-5-ethyl-1,5-heptadiene rearrangement reaction, a pericyclic type reaction, were studied with ab initio calculations in gas and solution phases. This reaction is one of the cope rearrangement in which secondary kinetic isotope effect is observed. Theoretical study on these reactions showed that probability of radicalic mechanism is inconsiderable and reaction proceeds through out a concerted mechanism with cyclic transition state. Isotope effect was studied by replacement of H1, H2 and H4,H5 with deuterium. The isotope effect data confirmed the concerted mechanism. Solvent effects on this reaction were studied by CPCM model. Solvation energies at... 

In Modular Multilevel converter, it is necessary to attain different objectives simultaneously. One of the most effective control methods which can cope with this kind of systems is the Model Predictive Control (MPC). This method predicts the values of control objectives based on different feasible states and determines the optimal one using cost functions. The number of feasible states can increase when the number of switches increases in the converter. This makes the MPC unable to be applied in the MMCs with hundereds of submodules (SMs) in each arm because of its heavy computational burden. In this thesis, a modified model predictive control is proposed to reduce the computational burden.... 

In this research, a general model is proposed aiming at establishment of optimized application of Methane gas with maximum added value. That is, maximum added value of methane for different applications of methane including consumption as fuel, export and injection-to-wells are calculated and compared. Accordingly, results of this study are used for decision making regarding Iran’s most important gas reservoirs. In this study, maximum present net value of investment concerning comparison of petrochemical industry input and export to a number of selected countries in addition to injection in 20 years is calculated based on a specific discount rate. It is noteworthy that the scope of this... 

Signifcant downscaling of CMOS technology to provide high performance along with low power consumption has been accompanied by reliability degradations such as increased noise sensitivity and reliability concern due to aging phenomena (transient and permanent failuers). In this regard, with huge number of configuration bits, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are more susceptible to aging since aging not only degrades the performance, but also it may additionally result in corrupting the configuration cells and thus causing permanent circuit malfunctioning. While several works have investigated the aging effects in Look-Up Tables (LUTs), the routing fabric of these devices is seldom... 

Here we have used CFD to simulate the flow field around a DBD plasma active controller for flow control. Enhanced Electrostatic model is applied to model the plasma actuator, by solution of two elliptic equations to find electric field and charge density in whole flow field. So, it provided the body force by neglecting the magnetic forces in Lorentz equation. The body force is added to the momentum equation as a source term. A commercial software FLUENT is used for this simulation. To validate the algorithm, flow over a flat plate using DBD actuator is solved and results are compared with experimental and numerical results. Flow control around a cylinder with Reynolds number of 18,000 is... 

In 2004 Ooguri, Strominger, and Vafa could write the partition function of 4D N=2 extremal black holes in type IIA superstring theory as the square of the absolute value of the partition function of type A closed topological string theory, which had already been introduced by Edward Witten in 1990. In this study, T and S dualities were applied to the original conjecture of Ooguri, Strominger, and Vafa. By using T duality, we have verified that the conjecture holds for 4D N=2 extremal black holes of type IIB superstring theory to the one loop order in string coupling. In other words, one can write the partition function of these kinds of black holes as the square of the absolute value of... 

In this thesis, first of all we introduce the Anderson model, Multifractality, and conformal field theory. Then we try to determine some critical and scaling quantities for the critical wave functions in the 2D systems with spin-orbit interactions We implement a correction-to-scaling analysis by introducing an irrelevant exponent which leads to a proper and sharp evaluation of the critical parameters including correlation exponent, rescaled localization length and the critical disorder. Then, we survey the multifractal properties of this model and obtain some multifractal exponent in the critical point. Finally, we will survey the existence of the conformal invariance symmetry in it. Our...
