Coordinating a seller-buyer supply chain with a proper allocation of chain’s surplus profit using a general side-payment contract [electronic resource]
, Article International Journal of Industrial and Systems Engineering ; Volume 5, No. 2, Summer 2011, Page 63-79 ; Eshghi, Kourosh ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In this paper, seller-buyer supply chain coordination with general side-payment contracts is introduced to gain the maximum possible chain profit. In our model, the logistics costs for both buyer and seller are considered and the final demand is also supposed to be a decreasing function of the retail price. Since parties aim to maximize their individual profits, the contractual parameters are set in a way that these decisions become aligned with system optimal decisions. Therefore, a side payment contract is suggested in our model to assign the chain surplus profit to the chain members such that they have no intention to leave the coalition. Then, we change the contract into a quantity...
Photonic Crystal Cavity Quantum Optic in the Very Strong Coupling Regime
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khorasani, Sina (Supervisor)
Abstract
First, we peruse the intraction between a quantized light and a two level atom which has been described by Janes-Cummings-Paul Hamiltonian. By solving Heisenberg equations in Fourier space and describing electric field by a generalized-transverse Green function, we obtain spectral density for a quantum dot which is in the strong coupling to a slab photonic crystal cavity. Afterward, by solving Shrouding equations precisely we demonstrate when quantum dot is in a very strong coupling to cavity, rotate wave approximation is not reliable anymore. It means that if coupling constant gets comparable to cavity mode frequency then the prevalent approach to solve this Hamiltonian will not be correct....
Analysis of Ultra-Strong Coupling in Optical Waveguides
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khorasani, Sina (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this project, we were intended to study the ultra-strong coupling in optical waveguides. Hence, we analyze the interaction of an electromagnetic wave with a quantum well embedded in a dielectric slab waveguide. First, we designed a QW with and alloys, which the energy of its electron-heavy holes transition is . By exploiting the envelope function approximation, we derived the wavefunction of electrons and holes, their eigen-energies, and the dipole moment of electon-holes. For finding the wavefunction of holes and their eigen-energies, we used the Luttinger Hamiltonian. Next, we calculated the electrical susceptibility of a three level quantum system (as a model for QW), by using...

Nonlinear Torsional Vibrations of Thin Walled Beam with Semi-Analytic Methods
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Haddadpour, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
Thin Walled Beams are widely used in engineering applications with the minimum weight design criteria, ranging from civil to aerospace and many other industrial fields. The weight reduction of the beam leads to importance of the dynamic behavior of the structure. Frequently used thin walled beams have low torsional stiffness and their torsional deformations may be of such magnitudes that it is not adequate to treat the angles of cross section rotation as small. When the vibration amplitudes are moderate or large, the geometric nonlinearity must be included and some new phenomena which do not exist in linear torsional dynamic come into play. Unfortunately, the equations of motion of nonlinear...

Axial-torsional vibrations of rotating pretwisted thin walled composite beams
, Article International Journal of Mechanical Sciences ; Vol. 80 , 2014 , pp. 93-101 ; ISSN: 00207403 ; Haddadpour, H ; Sharif University of Technology
2014
Abstract
Axial-torsional vibrations of rotating pretwisted thin-walled composite box beams exhibiting primary and secondary warping are investigated. Considering the nonlinear strain-displacement relations, the coupled nonlinear axial-torsional equations of motion are derived using Hamilton's principle. Ignoring the axial inertia term leads to differential equation of motion in terms of elastic torsion in the case of axially immovable beams. Centrifugal load in the presence of material anisotropy and pretwist angle leads to an induced static torque. The nonlinear equation should be linearized about the corresponding equilibrium state to obtain the linear differential equation of motion. Extended...

Observer-free control of satellite attitude using a single vector measurement
, Article IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems ; Vol. 50, issue. 3 , 2014 , pp. 2070-2081 ; ISSN: 00189251 ; Namvar, M ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
The existing methods in attitude control of satellites are based on using the estimate of satellite attitude, which is usually generated by using multiple vector measurements. In this paper we propose an output feedback controller that directly uses a single vector measurement and does not use an attitude estimator. The output feedback gain is computed by solving a generalized Riccati differential equation (GRDE). The existence of a solution to the GRDE depends on a uniform controllability condition
Output feedback control of satellite attitude using a single vector measurement

Abstract
The existing methods in attitude control of satellites are based on employing the estimate of satellite attitude which is usually generated by using multiple vector measurements. In this paper we propose an output feedback control law that directly uses a single vector measurement and gyro, and without any need for estimating the satellite attitude. The output feedback gain is computed by solving a generalized Riccati time varying differential equation. We assume the moment-of-inertia matrix of satellite is unknown. The controller guarantees asymptotic convergence of the attitude to its desired value. A realistic simulation is presented where a magnetometer is used to provide the single...

Abstract
Gesture and motion recognition are needed for a variety of applications. The use of human hand motions as a natural interface tool has motivated researchers to conduct research in the modeling, analysis and recognition of various hand movements. In this work, we introduce a 3-D hand motion recognition. We use 3-D landmarked points on finger tips and joints followed by a HMM (Hidden Markov Model) to recognize hand motions. Experimentally, in an effort to evaluate the formation of hand gestures similar to those used in rehabilitation sessions, we studied three hand motions. Using natural hand motion features in an uncontrolled environment, we were able to classify, differentiate and quantify...
On the design of graphene oxide nanosheets membranes for water desalination

Abstract
According to current researches, graphene oxide (GO) membranes show promising desalination properties due to ease of synthesis, low production cost, and high efficiency. There are several experimental works to study ionic sieving properties of GO membranes. However, it is difficult to characterize atomistic mechanism of water permeation and ion rejection by experimental approaches. On the other hand, there exist a few reports in which the atomistic picture of water permeation across GO membranes is investigated by means of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. In the present work, in addition to water desalination, the atomic scale mechanism of ion rejection is studied using large scale MD...
Quine-McCluskey classification

Abstract
In this paper the Karnaugh and Quine-McCluskey methods are used for symbolic classification problem, and then these methods are compared with other famous available methods. Because the data in classification problem is very large, some changes should be applied in the original Quine-McCluskey (QMC) algorithm. We proposed a new algorithm that applies the QMC algorithm greedily calling it GQMC. It is surprising that GQMC results are most of the time equal to QMC. GQMC is still very slow classifier and it can be used when the number of attributes of the data is small, and the ratio of training data to the all possible data is high. © 2007 IEEE
Entanglement Spectrum of One Dimensional Ising Model in Transverse Field
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Langari, Abdollah (Supervisor)
Abstract
Entanglement spectrum is the set of eigenvalues of reduced density matrix for a definite state. It contains more information than the entanglement entropy. This spectrum can show entanglement measure, quantum phase transition and topological order in a system. In recent years, the entanglement spectrum for several models has been studied. The entanglement spectrum shows a correspondence to the energy spectrum within some specific regions, which are related to the edge state of the system; It has been verified for the Heisenberg ladder [1] and fractional quantum Hall effect [3]. Moreover, the topological order can be seen in the entanglement spectrum. There exists an acceptable adaption...

Fault Tolerance in Cloud Storage Systems Using Erasure Codes
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Miremadi, Ghassem (Supervisor)
Abstract
International Data Company (IDC) has reported, at the end of 2020, the total amount of digital data stored in the entire world will reach 40 thousand Exabytes. The idea of accessing this volume of data, anywhere at any time by exploiting commodity hardware, led into the introduction of cloud storage. The abounded rate and variety of failures in the equipment used in cloud storage systems, placed fault tolerance, at top of the challenges in these systems. HDFS layer in Hadoop has provided cloud with reliable storage. Replication is the conventional method to protect data against failures in HDFS. But the storage overhead is a big deal and therefore designers are tending towards erasure codes....

Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) is a communicative infrastructure, which establishes IP-based connections between many smart devices with limited energy supplies. The gathering of such an enormous number of connected devices would impose many challenges, with routing the most important issue. Standardization of the IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-power and Lossy Networks (RPL) was a major step towards fulfilling the IoT routing requirements. The key element in determining the routing policies and creation of the topology in RPL is the objective function. According to our studies, more than 97% of the consumed energy of a node in wireless networks is due to transceiver activities. On the other hand,...
