Fabrication of Nuclear Fuel Pellet With a Mixture of Micro and Nano UO2 Powders And Investigation of Its Physical and Mechanical Properties
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Otukesh, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Taghizade, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Roshanzamir, Manouchehr (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Uranium dioxide (UO2) has been widely used as nuclear fuel in water cooled reactors since 1960s. UO¬2 is a refractory oxide with a melting point in excess of 28000C and therefore, requires high sintering temperature around 17000C in a hydrogen atmosphere for several hours. In the conventional method, the sintering is incorporated with indirect heating of green pellets in a refractory-type electrical resistance furnace. This furnace, however, uses a large number of expensive heating elements and refractory materials to achieve and maintain the high temperature for a long time. Moreover, it consumes much electrical energy and time. Since nanocrystalline materials contain a large fraction of...

Abstract
In this era of digital communication systems, different factors are included in efficiency of a transceiver system. Binary PAM systems are one of these transceiver systems. Many aspects of such a system has been considered yet but this field needs more research on because this is the base of any communication system. In this paper, effects of transmitter and receiver filters, noise, duty-cycle and time mismatch between transmitter and receiver in a binary baseband PAM transceiver system is analyzed. Simulation is performed to analyze the above effects on a typical communication system with 10 bits of transmit. MATLAB software is being employed for simulations

Abstract
In a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radar unlike conventional phased array radar, we can choose freely between the probing signals transmitted via its antennas to maximize the transmitted power around specific target locations or to approximate a desire beam-pattern in different manners that many papers have taken into consideration so far. In an operational radar or communication environment, one of the usual phenomenon that happens is multipath. In this paper we'd like to take this effect into consideration and show that how this effect can influence our beam-pattern in a covariance based MIMO radar beam-forming. We will show that multipath can change beam-pattern peak direction,...
Hybrid orthogonal-phased array MIMO RADAR
, Article IET Conference Publications ; Volume 2013, Issue 617 CP , 2013 ; 9781849196031 (ISBN) ; Bastani, M. H ; Sharif University of Technology
2013
Abstract
Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radar is a multiple aperture technology characterized by the ability to transmit diverse signals at each aperture. This is in contrast to traditional phased array radar whereby a single signals is transmitted with a phase shift applied at each element to enable steering of the transmit beampattern. The hybrid MIMO phased array radar (HMPAR) concept is an outgrowth of the monostatic MIMO construct, in which all sensors have the same view of the far field target which is known as colocated antenna. In the HMPAR, the full transmit array is partitioned into sub-arrays which can be electronically steered in different directions and driven by separate transmit...

Abstract
Background: We developed transformer-based deep learning models based on natural language processing for early risk assessment of Alzheimer’s disease from the picture description test. Methods: The lack of large datasets poses the most important limitation for using complex models that do not require feature engineering. Transformer-based pre-trained deep language models have recently made a large leap in NLP research and application. These models are pre-trained on available large datasets to understand natural language texts appropriately, and are shown to subsequently perform well on classification tasks with small training sets. The overall classification model is a simple classifier on...

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is one of the most rampant causes of death around the world and was deemed as a major illness in Middle and Old ages. Coronary artery disease, in particular, is a widespread cardiovascular malady entailing high mortality rates. Angiography is, more often than not, regarded as the best method for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease; on the other hand, it is associated with high costs and major side effects. Much research has, therefore, been conducted using machine learning and data mining so as to seek alternative modalities. Accordingly, we herein propose a highly accurate hybrid method for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. As a matter of fact, the...

Design of an Algorithm for Automatic Incident Detection by Using Loop Detector Data Compatible to Traffic Conditions in Iran
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Vaziri, Manouchehr (Supervisor)
Abstract
Incidents are one of the main sources of delays and they have significant influences on road safety and congestions, air pollution and trip costs. In the time of an incident occurrence, minimizing the response time is essential for several reasons. The most important issue is providing aid for the injured. The faster the persons who are severely injured receive aid, the higher their chances are to be rescued. Also, if the rescue crews get to the incident scene faster the clearance procedure would be accomplished faster and this would result in fewer disturbances in traffic stream and lowering the probability of secondary incidents occurrence. Automatic Incident Detection, AID, has been...
