Synthesis and characterization of poly(methacrylates) containing spiroacetal and norbornene moieties in side chain [electronic resource]
, Article Journal of Applied Polymer Science ; Volume 77, Issue 1, pages 30–38, 5 July 2000 ; Mirjalili, Bibi Fatemeh ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
A four-step synthetic strategy was applied to achieve novel methacrylic monomers. 5-Norbornene-2,2-dimethanol was prepared from a Diels–Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene and acrolein, followed by the treatment of the adduct with an HCHO/KOH/MeOH solution. The resulting 1,3-diol (1) was then acetalized with different aromatic aldehydes having OH groups on the ring to produce four spiroacetal derivatives. The reaction of methacryloyl chloride with the phenolic derivatives led to four new methacrylic monomers that were identified spectrochemically (mass, FTIR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy). Free radical solution polymerization was used to prepare novel spiroacetal–norbornene containing...
Prediction of DNA/RNA Sequence Binding Site to Protein with the Ability to Implement on GPU
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Koohi, Sommaye (Supervisor)
Abstract
Based on the importance of DNA/RNA binding proteins in different cellular processes, finding binding sites of them play crucial role in many applications, like designing drug/vaccine, designing protein, and cancer control. Many studies target this issue and try to improve the prediction accuracy with three strategies: complex neural-network structures, various types of inputs, and ML methods to extract input features. But due to the growing volume of sequences, these methods face serious processing challenges. So, this paper presents KDeep, based on CNN-LSTM and the primary form of DNA/RNA sequences as input. As the key feature improving the prediction accuracy, we propose a new encoding...
Cross-Lingual Speaker Adaptation for Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Sameti, Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
Speech synthesis and its applications have been very attractive recently. The main purpose of this technique is to produce a speech signal with natural characteristics of human speech like prosody and emotion. Among all existing methods for speech synthesis, statistical parametric speech synthesis methods are more promising because ofhigher flexibility in comparison to other methods. One of the applications of speech synthesis is speech to speech translation. In these systems, the generated voice in target language should have the same characteristics as the input voice in source language. The main purpose of this research is to review and evaluate the cross lingual speaker adaptation...

Design of Low-Power Zero Temperature Coefficient (ZTC) CMOS Oscillators
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Akbar, Fatemeh (Supervisor)
Abstract
The increasing demand for autonomous vehicles and reliable communication protocols and hardware interfaces, such as CAN bus and USB, underscores the necessity for stable clock sources that maintain a low temperature coefficient (TC) over wide temperature ranges. This demand is particularly emphasized in applications such as wearables, network sensors, downhole devices, WSNs, and IoT, where long-lasting battery life and frequency-stable clock sources over a broad temperature range (e.g. -20 °C to 100 °C) are crucial. Traditionally, variations in frequency caused by temperature have been mitigated by employing off-chip components like crystals or ceramic based oscillators, but this approach...
Data-Driven Pricing Based on Demand Prediction Using Machine Learning Methods
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Sedghi, Nafiseh (Supervisor)
Abstract
Pricing plays an important and essential role in the profit and income of companies. The importance of pricing is not only related to its role in the company's profitability, but it also changes the customer's understanding and loyalty towards the company and can create the company's reputation or destroy it. Determining the right price will increase product sales and increase customer loyalty and create a competitive advantage for the company. One of the most important and influential variables in product pricing is the amount of demand. The main challenge of companies for product pricing is the uncertainty in their demand. In order to deal with this problem, data-driven pricing is used....

Efficient Search in Peer-to-Peer Networks
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Habibi, Jafar (Supervisor)
Abstract
Peer-to-Peer networks are invented to enable participants (peers) to share their resources and find and use the shared resources of the others. So the main issue is the mechanism of finding granted resources of the other peers. In Peer-to-Peer networks, there is no central server to index shared resources of the peers. So peers should collaborate to provide a fully distributed mechanism for searching resources. Considering the huge size of peer-to-peer systems, it is apparent that efficiency of the search mechanism is very critical. In this thesis, to have efficient seach in Peer-to-Peer networks, we propose two approaches. Then based on these approaches, we propose the third approach to...
Investigation of Impurities and Structural Defects in Graphene
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Faez, Rahim (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis the effects of impurities and different defects on electrical and magnetic properties of monolayer and bilayer graphene is investigated. Calculations are performed using density function theory. Alloying monolayer graphene with boron and nitrogen the energy gaps of 0.7 and 0.6 eV are obtained, respectively. Moreover, we show that BN is a good candidate for opening the band gap in graphene. Alloying monolayer graphene with BN the energy gap of 1.2 eV is obtained. Another way of opening band gap is to somehow break the symmetry between layers of the bilayer graphene. By alloying one layers of bilayer graphene with B, N or B-N, although the symmetry of layers is broken, each...

Numerical simulation results are presented to further demonstrate the reliability of the analysis
On the Characteristics of The Behavior of Multi-story Steel Frames Accompanied by Steel Shear Walls with Openings
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mofid, Massoud (Supervisor)
Abstract
As steel shear walls are usually applied in the central cores of buildings (around the elevators and stairs), the use of opening as door is inevitable in steel shear wall spans. On the other hand, because of weakening the performance of steel shear walls due to the presence of these openings, it is necessary to apply stiffeners around it. The use of stiffeners around all sides of opening continued to beams and columns, is very expensive. Therefore, the necessity of studying on the effect of different arrangements of stiffeners on the behavior of steel shear walls is felt. In this research, a number of steel shear walls with different characteristics in terms of plate aspect ratio, location...
Techno-Economical Analysis and Modeling of Carbon Capturing from Flue Gas by Adsorption
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Avami, Akram (Supervisor)
Abstract
Population growth require increasing demand of Energy. The fossil fuels are the main source of energy. However, they are main source of carbon dioxide emissions. Considerable amount of fossil fuels is used in the power plants. Increasing trend of electricity consumption as well as the lack of alternative fuels such as renewables in the short time will increase the consumption of fossil fuels and emissions. The most important greenhouse gas emitted from the power plants is carbon dioxide. That's why the separation of carbon dioxide from the gas stream of power plants is necessary.Separation of the carbon dioxide by adsorption is considered in this project both experimentally and...

Abstract
As steel plate shear walls are typically used in the building central cores around the elevators and stairs, introduction of an opening as door seems to be inevitable in steel plate shear wall spans. Due to the weakening of the steel plate shear walls’ performance caused by this particular type of opening, the use of stiffeners around the opening is necessary. Nevertheless, introduction of stiffeners around all sides of the opening, which does continue to boundary elements, is very expensive and inefficient. Therefore, the study on the effect of different arrangements of stiffeners on the behavior of steel plate shear walls is significant. In this research, a number of steel plate shear...

Abstract
In this study, a combination of energy and exergy analysis is applied for the industrial sulfur recovery unit (SRU) in commercial simulation software. The data of energy and exergy are obtained from the simulator and Excel (for physical and chemical exergy), respectively. In doing so, five intensified SRU configurations namely: (1) hot gas bypass (2) acid gas bypass (3) inlet stream preheating (4) acid gas enrichment and (5) oxygen (air) enrichment are compared in terms of energy production, reaction furnace temperature, sulfur recovery and pollutant emission into environment. Then, irreversibility in these five arrangements is compared and all the proposed methods show higher useful exergy...
Topology awareness of overlay P2P networks

Abstract
In overlay networks, the mechanism of a peer randomly joining and leaving a network, causes a topology mismatch between the overlay and the underlying physical topology. This causes a large volume of redundant traffic in the underlying physical network as well as an extra delay in message delivery in the overlay network. Topology mismatch occurs because overlay networks are not aware of their underlying physical networks. In this paper we present a mathematical model for topology awareness of overlay networks (degree of matching between an overlay and its underlying physical network) and the efficiency of message delivery on them. Then we experimentally show that the model is precise in the...
Minimum linear arrangement of Chord graphs
, Article Applied Mathematics and Computation ; Volume 203, Issue 1 , 1 September , 2008 , Pages 358-367 ; 00963003 (ISSN) ; Habibi, J ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
The minimum linear arrangement (MINLA) is a NP-hard problem in general. But there are some classes of graphs optimally solvable in polynomial time. In this paper, we solve the minimum linear arrangement problem for a new class of graphs (Chord graphs) in polynomial time. Also, we present a closed formula for the cost of optimal arrangement. Our motivation to solve the problem for this class of graphs is its application in optimization of peer-to-peer overlay networks. © 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
