    , Article Physical Review E - Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics ; Volume 83, Issue 2 , February , 2011 ; 15393755 (ISSN) Jafari, G. R ; Sahimi, M ; Rasaei, M. R ; Tabar, M. R. R ; Sharif University of Technology
    2011
    Abstract
    Several methods have been developed in the past for analyzing the porosity and other types of well logs for large-scale porous media, such as oil reservoirs, as well as their permeability distributions. We developed a method for analyzing the porosity logs φ(h) (where h is the depth) and similar data that are often nonstationary stochastic series. In this method one first generates a new stationary series based on the original data, and then analyzes the resulting series. It is shown that the series based on the successive increments of the log y(h)=φ(h+δh)-φ(h) is a stationary and Markov process, characterized by a Markov length scale hM. The coefficients of the Kramers-Moyal expansion for...

    Abstract
    Yeh et al. have recently proposed a mutual authentication protocol based on EPC Class-1 Gen.-2 standard. They claim their protocol is secure against adversarial attacks and also provides forward secrecy. In this paper we show that the proposed protocol does not have cited security features properly. A powerful and practical attack is presented on this protocol whereby the whole security of the protocol is broken. Furthermore, Yeh et al.'s protocol does not assure the untraceabilitiy and backwarduntraceabilitiy attributes. We also will propose our revision to safeguard the Yeh et al.'s protocol against cited attacks  

    Time-Sharing improves dynamic index coding delay

    Abstract
    In this paper, we show how time-sharing method may reduce transmission delay in the dynamic index coding scenario. We propose a novel time-shared dynamic index coding transmission scheme that achieves the maximum index coding gain for a complete bi-directional side information graph and formulate a constrained optimization problem to tune the transmission scheme for the minimum transmission delay. A closed-form solution is presented for the special case of two-user. We also use analytical and simulation results to provide graphical intuition for the obtained results  

    Strategies for Optimal Transmission and Delay Reduction in Dynamic Index Coding Problem

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Communications ; Volume 71, Issue 8 , 2023 , Pages 4694-4706 ; 00906778 (ISSN) Hadi, M ; Mojahedian, M. M ; Aref, M. R ; Pakravan, M. R ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Dynamic index coding is a practical generalization of conventional index coding that deals with real dynamic traffic streams. We identify the code-constrained capacity region of a dynamic index coding problem with a complete bi-directional side information graph and introduce the performance metric of dynamic index coding gain to measure how dynamic index coding reduces the required data transmissions. A greedy dynamic index coding scheme is proposed that achieves the maximum coding gain almost everywhere in the identified capacity region. Although the greedy scheme attains the maximum coding gain, its selfish nature may unacceptably increase transmission delay. To address this issue, a...

    Abstract
    Locally multipath adaptive routing (LMAR) protocol, classified as a new reactive distance vector routing protocol for MANETs is proposed in this paper. LMAR can find an ad-hoc path without selfish nodes and wormholes using a random search algorithm in polynomial-time. Also when the primary path fails, it discovers an alternative safe path if network graph remains connected after eliminating selfish/malicious nodes. The main feature of LMAR to seek safe route free of selfish and malicious nodes in polynomial time is its searching algorithm and flooding stage that its generated traffic is equiloaded compared to single-path routing protocols but its ability to bypass the attacks is much better... 

    Cooperation within von Willebrand factors enhances adsorption mechanism

    , Article Journal of the Royal Society Interface ; Volume 12, Issue 109 , 2015 ; 17425689 (ISSN) Heidari, M ; Mehrbod, M ; Ejtehadi, M. R ; Mofrad, M. R ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a naturally collapsed protein that participates in primary haemostasis and coagulation events. The clotting process is triggered by the adsorption and conformational changes of the plasma VWFs localized to the collagen fibres found near the site of injury. We develop coarse-grained models to simulate the adsorption dynamics of VWF flowing near the adhesive collagen fibres at different shear rates and investigate the effect of factors such as interaction and cooperativity of VWFs on the success of adsorption events. The adsorption probability of a flowing VWF confined to the receptor field is enhanced when it encounters an adhered VWF in proximity to the...

    Abstract
    A general regression neural network technique was applied to design optimization of a liquid-liquid coaxial swirl injector. Phase Doppler Anemometry measurements were used to train the neural network. A general regression neural network was employed to predict droplet velocity and Sauter mean diameter at any axial or radial position for the operating range of a liquid-liquid coaxial swirl injector. The results predicted by neural network agreed satisfactorily with the experimental data. A general performance map of the liquid-liquid coaxial swirl (LLCS) injector was generated by converting the predicted result to actual fuel/oxidizer ratios. © 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    A secure ECC-based privacy preserving data aggregation scheme for smart grids

    , Article Computer Networks ; Volume 129 , 2017 , Pages 28-36 ; 13891286 (ISSN) Vahedi, E ; Bayat, M ; Pakravan, M. R ; Aref, M. R ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Development of Smart Grid and deployment of smart meters in large scale has raised a lot of concerns regarding customers’ privacy. Consequently, several schemes have been proposed to overcome the above mentioned issue. These schemes mainly rely on data aggregation as a method of protecting users’ privacy from the grid operators. However, the main problem with most of these schemes is the fact that they require a large amount of processing power at the meter side. This, together with the fact that smart meters don't usually have a powerful processor, can cause the unavailability of smart meter data at the required time for operators of the grid, and at the same time prevents smart meters from...

    Abstract
    Real-time applications play a significant role in the area of VANET, and are mainly required for these kinds of networks. On the other hand, when the number of messages received by vehicles increases in the network, then the applied computation load becomes extremely high and consequently, delay on the message authentication process significantly increases. This paper is presented with the aim of introducing a novel cooperative message authentication (CMA) scheme for VANET, the main purpose of which is alleviating the computation load on vehicles while verifying messages by using two-part identity-based signature. The scheme enables vehicles to verify only a limited number of the total...

    Abstract
    A general regression neural network technique is applied for design optimization of liquid-liquid coaxial swirl injectors. Phase Doppler Anemometry measurements for velocity and SMD distributions for various Reynolds numbers are used to train the neural network to generate the injector's performance map. Excellent agreement between the predicted values and the measurements is obtained. It is observed that by reducing the number of randomly selected training samples to about one third of the number of prediction points, one may reconstruct the velocity field in the extrapolation regime with an accuracy of 93%.
