    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rezaei Dastjerdehei, Mohammad Reza (Author) ; Shamsollahi, Mohammad Bagher (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    There are several methods for EEG state detection, and there are still many challenges. Switching Kalman Filter (SKF) is a suitable approach for state detection, which has been used in various applications such as QRS detection in ECG signal, apnea detection using ECG signal, and also hand path detection using EEG signal. Our goal here is to use Switching Kalman Filter (SKF) in order to detect changes in EEG signal, and in particular in sleep. In other words, we want to detect Sleep Stages. Here, detecting Sleep Stages will help doctors diagnose and treat diseases. There is a Kalman Model for each Stages of Sleep in SKF, that I model it with a AR model.

    Abstract
    This paper proposes a novel 3D action recognition technique that uses time-series information extracted from depth image sequences for use in systems of human daily activity monitoring. To this end, each action is represented as a multi-dimensional time series, where each dimension represents the position variation of one skeleton joint over time. The time series is then mapped onto a vector space using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) distance. Furthermore, to employ the correlation-distinctiveness relationship of the sequences in recognition, this vector space is remapped onto a discriminative space using the regularized Fisher method, where final decisions about the actions are made. Unlike...

    Jamming Resilient Algorithms for Rendezvous in Cognitive Radio Networks

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rezaei, Roohollah (Author) ; Aref, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor) ; Pakravan, Mohammad Reza (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    Dynamic spectrum access with the aid of cognitive radio (CR) technology is a viable solution to spectrum scarcity. There are many military and emergency applications that require the use of cognitive radio ad-hoc networks (CRAHNs). In these net- works, nodes must first find each other in a wide spectrum and then exchange their desired data. The process of finding each other in a multichannel environment is a challenging task and is usually known as rendezvous. Since rendezvous is the first step in communication, disrupting will disable the nodes from establishing proper communication sessions. That results in a drastic degrade in the performance of the network. Therefore, it is important to...

Among the problems of polyethylene terephthalate recycling are its loss of crystallinity and mechanical properties. Recycled polyethylene terephthalate does not have the properties of new polyethylene terephthalate and using its mixture with other materials is an effective way to remove its waste from nature and return it to the production cycle. The aim of this study is to produce a mixture of recycled polyethylene terephthalate with polycarbonate and glass fibers with mechanical properties such as good impact strength, which ultimately leads to the production of... 

    Improving Throughput and Secrecy Throughput Performance in Wireless Powered Communication Networks

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Rezaei Estakhrooeieh, Roohollah (Author) ; Pakravan, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs), wireless nodes are charged via an access point. In these networks, an access point transfers power to the nodes, and then, the nodes use the received power to transmit their information to the access point. Due to the wireless transmission of the information, eavesdropping of it is an important vulnerability in these networks. The conventional method to resolve this security problem is using cryptography algorithms. However, this method needs key management and complex encryption algorithms to be used by the nodes, which may not be applicable. Physical layer security (PLS), which uses the channel characteristics, is a more suitable way to...

    Abstract
    Automatic theorem proving has been attractive in artificial intelligence (AI). The aim of the usual automatic theorem proving methods is applying of the mathematical logic rules to decide intelligently, and reasoning automatically. In contrast the aim of our research is to apply computers abilities and artificial intelligence methods to simulate human abilities to prove mathematical theorems. For this purpose, we invent a typed formal language (TFL) to describe mathematical theories. The language must be clearly computable and should cover the First Order Logic (FOL) and the usual mathematical sentences. Then some algorithms and inference rules to compare sentences conceptually are... 

    A misbehavior‐tolerant multipath routing protocol for wireless Ad hoc networks [electronic resource]

    , Article International Journal of Research in Wireless Systems (IJRWS) ; Vol. 2, Issue 9, pp. , Sep. 2013 Sedghi, H. (Haniyeh) ; Pakravan, Mohammad Reza ; Aref, Mohammad Reza ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Secure routing is a major key to service maintenance in ad hoc networks. Ad hoc nature exposes the network to several types of node misbehavior or attacks. As a result of the resource limitations in such networks nodes may have a tendency to behave selfishly. Selfish behavior can have drastic impacts on network performance. We have proposed a Misbehavior-Tolerant Multipath Routing protocol (MTMR) which detects and punishes all types of misbehavior such as selfish behavior, wormhole, sinkhole and grey-hole attacks. The protocol utilizes a proactive approach to enforce cooperation. In addition, it uses a novel data redirection method to mitigate the impact of node misbehavior on network...

    Abstract
    Bioorthogonal chemistry defines any reaction, inside or outside the living systems, without interfering with native chemical processes and 3dimensional structure of proteins. In these types of reactions water is the sole solvent; a neutral pH is required; the temperature must be up to 40 oC. The kinetics of reactions must be on the hour scale and the nontoxic reagents with low concentration must be used. One of the simplest methods of visualizing protein molecule is covalent attachment of fluorescein to protein. In this work several fluorescent compounds were synthesized. These novel compounds include acylchloride fluorescein, N-hydroxysuccinimide fluorescein, thiophenol fluorescein, and...

    Numerical Analysis of an Afterburner Combustion Stability

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rezaei, Vahid (Author) ; Farshchi, Mohammad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Inlet flow of afterburners comes from the burnt products of the primary combustion chamber. The fuel is injected and the mixture is ignited to form a flame which is stabilized behind a flameholder in the afterburner. Flame stability stems from wake (recirculation zone) of flameholder. With the aid of high residence time of flow behind the flameholder reactants get the time to catch activation energy. Some parameters like oxygen content, mass flow rate, inlet temperature, and nozzle area ratio play an important role in afterburner combustion efficiency and flame stability. In this study we focused on afterburner combustion stability in GE J85-21 engine. This engine will be in service through... 

    Investigation of Toughening Mechanisms in Al/Al3Ti In-Situ Hot Extruded Composites

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rezaei, Alireza (Author) ; Madaah Hosseini, Hamid Reza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this study in-situ Al/Al3Ti was fabricated by mechanical alloying, hot extrusion and subsequent heat treatment. First, initial pure powders of Al and Ti were mechanically alloyed with 5 weight percentages of Ti for 40 hours. The as-hot extruded samples containing 5 wt% of initial Ti particles, were exposed to heating at 600 oC for various time intervals up to 10 hours. Microstructure analysis by OM and SEM proved that in-situ Al3Ti phase was formed as a layer around Ti particles by solid reactive diffusion between Al and Ti particles. After 10 hours of heating, all the Ti particles were consumed and transformed to Al3Ti. Mechanical properties of samples were investigated by Brinell... 

    Expression and Purification of Amyloid Beta Recombinant Peptide and the Effecs of Ultrasmall Peptides Enriched in Branch Chain Amino Acids as Inhibitors in Amyloid Formation

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rezaei Adariani, Soheila (Author) ; Kalhor, Hamid Reza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Nowdays, it has been shown that protein misfolding is involved in more than forty diseases including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases that disrupts brain function. The main cause of this illness is due to formation of extracellular amyloid plaque from a 42-amino acid-peptide called amyloid beta. Amyloidosis is caused by missfolding of peptides and proteins mainly because of physical and chemical changes in biomolecule or their environment.
    Therefore, in this dissertation, using synthetic and recombinant abeta peptide, kinetic of amyloidosis was examined. Ultrasmall peptides (three-amino acid), containing branched chain...
