Abstract
In this paper, we first propose a space-time-frequency (STF) coding method for multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMOOFDM) transmission over frequency-selective fading channels and then, based on channel mean feedback model, we develop an adaptive MIMO-OFDM transmitter by applying an adaptive energy and bit loading scheme across OFDM subcarriers. Under the constraints of fixed transmit-energy and prescribed error performance, our objective is to maximize the transmission rate. Simulation results are presented which confirm the performance of our proposed system and show that under certain circumstances, the transmission rate improves considerably as...

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...

, 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...

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...
Design of Low Power Harmonic Rejection Mixer for Wideband Application
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Akbar, Fatemeh (Supervisor)
Abstract
The increasing demand for communication bandwidth and limited spectrum availability have heightened the complexity of radio front-end circuits in IoT applications. Achieving spectral efficiency is a key challenge, particularly for IoT devices operating at specific frequency bands such as 315 MHz, 433 MHz, 868 MHz, and 915 MHz.Due to the limited linearity of the transmit path, harmonic distortion components, known as counter intermodulation (CIM) products, are generated. These CIM products can directly fall into the receiver (RX) band or enter it via cross-modulation, thereby degrading the frequency division performance. Additionally, CIM products can interfere with protected bands, violating...

The Impact of Integrated Prediction and Optimization on the the Bullwhip Effect in supply chains
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Sedghi, Nafiseh (Supervisor)
Abstract
The Bullwhip effect is a phenomenon that refers to the amplification of demand variance as one moves upstream in a supply chain. This effect imposes additional costs on the supply chain and complicates inventory planning. Several factors contribute to the emergence of this phenomenon, one of which is demand forecasting. Since the demand faced by each level of the supply chain is uncertain, every level must first forecast demand in order to plan its inventory and meet customer requirements. However, this very process of forecasting contributes to the bullwhip effect. In this study, we investigate the impact of machine learning and deep learning forecasting methods, along with their...

Abstract
In this paper, the predictions of different beam theories for the behavior of a shape memory polymer (SMP) beam in different steps of a thermomechanical cycle are compared. Employing the equilibrium equations, the governing equations of the deflection of a SMP beam in the different steps of a thermomechanical cycle, for higher order beam theories (Timoshenko Beam Theory and von-Kármán Beam Theory), are developed. For the Timoshenko Beam Theory, a closed form analytical solution for various steps of the thermomechanical cycle is presented. The nonlinear governing equations in von-Kármán Beam theory are numerically solved. Results reveal that in the various beam length to beam thickness...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseini, Abolfazl (Supervisor)
Abstract
Among various neutron sources such as fission reactors, radioisotopic sources, photoneutron reactions, and others, the spallation neutron source has attracted significant attention due to advantages like high flux, notable neutron yield, and a broad energy spectrum. The spallation process occurs when high-energy light particles, typically protons in the order of giga-electron volts, collide with heavy targets such as lead or mercury. This interaction produces a large number of neutrons, protons, deuterons, pions, and other particles. To increase neutron production efficiency and achieve a desirable energy spectrum, a target system composed of a target, moderator, and reflector is used. In...

Evaluation of the Damage to Steel MRF Structures Under Near Field Earthquake Pulses Using a Performance-Based Design Approach
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rahimzadeh Rofooei, Fayaz (Supervisor)
Abstract
Research on the characteristics of the near field earthquakes has been very popular in recent years due to the considerable damages they have caused to the structures located within the vicinity of seismic sources. The incapability of response spectra for structural damage assessment has been revealed through recent investigations. The recorded data show that the near field earthquakes are often accompanied by a large energy pulse in the beginning of the records caused by the so-called directivity phenomenon. That has encouraged many researchers to study the possibility of using the velocity pulse of these records to evaluate the imposed seismic demands on structures. Thus, investigating the...
