    Improving Defensive Techniques Against Malwares

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Razmi, Fereshteh (Author) ; Kharrazi, Mehdi (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Advances in computing and networking areas lead to advent of malwares with new and sophisticated features. One of these type of malwares are environment sensitive malwares which behave differently when finding out specific signs in the execution environment. They first was considered and defined in the context of malware analysis systems; meaning that these types of malwares stop their malicious behavior when detecting analysis machine as their execution environment. In this way they could challenge and evade analysis process. Afterwards, the domain of environment sensitive malwares went beyond the analysis systems and covered all environmental sensitivities which hinder the progress of...

    Abstract
    In the present study, the presence of a baffle and its effect on the hydrodynamics of the flow in a primary settling tank has been investigated experimentally by ADV (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter). On the other hand, the characteristics of this flow field were simulated by an unsteady two-phase finite volume method, and VOF (Volume of Fluid) model; and results were evaluated by the experimental data. The numerical calculation performed by using k - ε RNG model agrees well with experiments. It depicts the ability of this method in predicting the velocity profile and flow structure. In addition, the optimum position of the baffle to achieve the best performance of the tank was determined by... 

    Experimental and numerical approach to enlargement of performance of primary settling tanks

    , Article Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics ; Volume 2, Issue 1 , 2009 , Pages 1-12 ; 17353572 (ISSN) Razmi, A ; Firoozabadi, B ; Ahmadi, G ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Circulation regions always exist in settling tanks. These regions would result in short-circuiting enlargement of the dead zone and high flow mixing problems and avoid optimal particle sedimentation. Therefore, the main objective of the tank design process is to avoid formation of the circulation zone, which is known as dead zone. Experiments show that the tank performance can be improved by altering the geometry of the tank which leads to a different velocity distributions and flow patterns. In this paper, the presence of a baffle and its effect on the hydrodynamics of the flow field has been investigated in a primary settling tank. Hydrodynamics of the flow field in these basins is... 

    Experiments and numerical modeling of baffle configuration effects on the performance of sedimentation tanks

    Abstract
    The hydraulic efficiency of sedimentation basins is reduced by short-circuiting, circulation zones and bottom particleladen jets. Baffles are used to improve the sediment tank performance. In this study, laboratory experiments were used to examine the hydrodynamics of several baffle configurations. An accompanying numerical analysis was performed based on the 2-D Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations along with the k-ε turbulence closure model. The numerical model was supplemented with the volume-of-fluid technique, and the advection-diffusion equation to simulate the dynamics of particle-laden flow. Model predictions compared well with the experimental data. An empirical function was...

    , Article Kuwait Journal of Science ; Volume 49, Issue 1 , 2022 , Pages 1-19 ; 23074108 (ISSN) Yasmin, A ; Ali, K ; Ashraf, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    University of Kuwait  2022
    Abstract
    In the present investigation, we consider the heat and mass transfer characteristics of steady, incompressible and electrically conducting Casson fluid flow in a channel. The effect of chemical reactions have also been considered. The differential transform method (DTM) is applied to a system of non-linear ODEs, and the results are obtained in the form of DTM series. The principal gain of this approach is that it applies to the non-linear ODEs without requiring any discretization, linearization or perturbation. The velocity, mass and heat transfer profiles thus obtained are in good agreement with those provided by the quasi-linearization method (QLM). Graphical results for velocity,...

    Abstract
    Neutron noise equations, which are obtained by assuming small perturbations of macroscopic cross sections around a steady-state neutron field and by subsequently taking the Fourier transform in the frequency domain, have been usually solved by analytical techniques or by resorting to diffusion theory, but in this thesis, in order to increase of accuracy of neutron noise calculation, has been used transport approximation for neutron noise calculation and the Monte Carlo method has been used to solve transport equation of the neutron noise in the frequency domain. Since the transport equation of the neutron noise is a complex equation, a new Monte Carlo technique for treating complex-valued...

    Computational Investigation of Bubble-Shock Wave Interaction, Using Front Tracking-Ghost Fluid Method

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Razmi, Ashraf (Author) ; Taeibi Rahni, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Massah, Hamid Reza (Co-Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Shock wave–bubble interaction is not yet fully understood, while has many important applications. Such physics for example appears in sonoluminescense phenomenon, wherein a sinusoidal pressure field causes a gas bubble to first become large and then small enough to collapse. In this complex physics, spherical shock wave also appears right before, during, and right after the bubble bursting. On the other hand, modeling the interface between the liquid and gas in such problems, in which the gas becomes compressible is challenging. In this regard, Ghost-Fluid/Front Tracking method has shown to be very practical. In this work, the Euler equations have been computationally solved to simulate the...

    Abstract
    In this study, polyaniline nanoparticles (PANI NPs) in emeraldine base (EB) form were prepared by a modified method and characterized by FTIR and UV–vis spectroscopies. The average size of the nanoparticles was 140 nm measured by DLS method. The nanoparticles were embedded into polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibers prepared by electrospinning method. It was found that inclusion of PANI NPs in PLA resulted in reduced diameter of the fibers during the electrospinning process. Also, the surface of nanofibers appeared smooth in FE-SEM images without formation of beads. Improvement in mechanical and electrical properties of PLA/PANI nanofibers over the neat PLA nanofibers implied a good dispersion of...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Fatemion Aghda, Ashraf Alsadat (Author) ; Hesaraki, Mahmoud (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this thesis we consider the dynamics of a general predator-prey model which generalizes several known predator-prey, assuming that the intrinsic growth rate of the pray, the predation rate, and the removal functions are given in an unspecified form. Using the Lyapunov method, we derive sufficient conditions for the stability of the equilibria. also, we consider a delayed periodic predator- prey model and sufficient conditions are derived for the existence, uniqueness and global asymptotic stability of positive periodic solutions of the model.
