Digital holographic microscope is a microscope based on interferometry, which allows us to simultaneously have the information of the phase in addition to the intensity information. In this research, we intend to measure the thickness of the red blood cell with the help of an interferometer and prepare a three-dimensional microscopic image of the blood cell. After contamination, a laser beam hits an optical beam splitter that can divide the light into two parts with equal intensities. Each of these wave fronts, after hitting the mirror, is directed to another beam splitter to be recombined. . Since the incident lights have traveled different optical paths, they have a phase difference with... 

The practice of river restoration has grown exponentially over the last several decades. There has been little empirical evaluation of whether restoration projects individually or cumulatively achieve the legally mandated goals of improving the structure and function of rivers. Nutrient reduction through simple methods is the most critical factor. The simplest method, which has minimal financial burden as well as preventing, and reducing the entrance of pollutants into the Chalus River (Mazandaran, in north of Iran), has been selected. The origins of rivers start at a high point and move with a steep. ... 

Powder metallurgy is one of the most important and most usable methods in industries. Nowadays, many of the specimens are made this way. In this method, after powder compaction stage, because of sintering in high temperature, crystallographical structure of the material changes. This change results in poorer strength than initial powde. In order to avoid change and decrease in powder strength, shock consolidation is used. In this research, because of complication of this phenomenon and final quality of the specimen, shock consolidation of metal powders is investigated and analysed. This phenomenon is modeled, simulated, analysed and optimized mathematically.Various methods are used to create...

Single crystal X-ray diffraction data revealed the endo-nitrito (κ1–ONO) coordination in complexes 3 and 4. It has been shown that the replacement of the bromo ligand in complexes 1 and 2, either by AgOTf/NaNO2 in a... 

VLSI technology scaling has resulted in the integration of a larger number of cores in a single chip in successive technology nodes, offering a great potential to realize task-level redundancy for reliability enhancement in safety-critical applications. However, since battery technology no longer advances commensurately with integration density, multi-core platforms may have limited utility in battery-powered embedded systems. In this thesis, we propose an energy-budget-aware reliability management (enBudRM) method for multi-core embedded systems featuring hybrid energy source (with renewable and non-renewable energy sources). Our method is composed of two phases. In the offline phase, we...

Three-dimensional network-on-chip (3D NoC), the combination of NoC and die-stacking 3D IC technology, is motivated to achieve lower latency, lower power consumption, and higher network bandwidth. 3D NoCs reduce length of communication link and transmition delay by die stacking. However, the length of heat conduction path and power density per unit area increase as more dies are stacked vertically. High temperature results in longer propagation delay and increases the leakage power. If heat production in the chip is not managed, low cooling rate for these layers is a threat for the chip performance and reliability. To solve the thermal problems, thermal management schemes were proposed in the... 

The goal of this research is to convert letter to phoneme using deep neural networks. As the deep neural networks are among the best methods for speech and text processing (The highest accuracy in converting text to letter in English language is obtained by using deep neural networks too.), multilayer deep neural networks are used in this research to increase the accuracy. It should be noted that deep neural networks have not been used for converting text to phoneme in Persian language before. In this research a rule based alignment method based on our preposed rule is presented and achieved an accuracy more than 98%. Several approaches for converting word to grapheme with emphasis on the...

The advancement of Cyber-physical Systems (CPSs) has attracted attention to Mixed-Criticality Systems (MCSs), both in research and industrial designs. Mixed-criticality systems (MCSs) integrate different types of functionalities with varying levels of criticality onto the shared computing platform. The scheduling algorithms for MCSs must guarantee that all high criticality tasks are completed by their deadlines in different operation modes of the system. In addition to certification, as multi-core platforms are becoming a dominant trend in designing MCSs, simultaneous energy and reliability management, and Quality of Service (QoS) are other significant challenges in designing MCSs. Indeed,... 

From the main factors causing an unpleasant odor can refer to indoles, askatels, mercaptans, some volatile organic compounds, sulfide hydrogen, ammonia, and the number of odor-causing compounds, which are also found in the wastewater facilities and sometimes produce unpleasant odors. Meanwhile, ammonia (Pungent and irritating odor) and sulfide hydrogen (colorless poisonous gas with the odor of rotten eggs) can be presented as major factors in sewage odor.
Several factors are involved in the foul-smelling hydrogen sulfide gas collection system and wastewater treatment. A few of them include numerous sewage pumping stations, selected the appropriate gradient in the collection system,... 

Nowadays, replacement of traditional cast iron shoes with composite brake blocks is a main project in railway systems. The main purpose of this replacement is noise reduction( for example by about 10dB for a 100km/h freight train). One of the main sources of noise emission is the rolling sound of the wheel on the rail. The rougher and more out-of-round wheel surface, the greater the noise produced. Cast iron brake shoes, still widely used on freight wagons, make the wheel surface much rougher than composite brake blocks due to the fusing of minute metal particles into the tread surface during braking. It is therefore necessary to replace the current cast iron brake shoe with a synthetic...
