Implementation and Analysis of Optical Isolation using Reciprocal and Nonreciprocal Elements

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Pooya Fard, Ali (Author) ; Mehrany, Khashayar (Supervisor)

Abstract

In this thesis we study the possibility of unidirectional transmission of light using reciprocal and nonreciprocal elements. Unidirectional transmission will allow us to separate the coupling of light into and out of resonators and design unidirectional waveguides. We start by studying the effects of one-sided modulations of dielectric constant of reciprocal structures. One-sided modulation will satisfy the phase matching condition for the coupling of two waves only in one direction. Using coupled mode theory, we study one sided modulation in layered media. Next, we find the exact solution to such strucures using transfer matrix method and analyze one-sided modulation in waveguide...

Solving High-Dimensional Differential Equations Using Machine Learning

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Saffarieh, Pooya (Author) ; Razvan, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor) ; Moghadasi, Reza (Co-Supervisor)

Abstract

The numerical solution of differential equations in high dimensions has always been a challenge and has been associated with various computational difficulties. These equations appear naturally in a variety of problems such as financial mathematics, control, and physics, and their optimal solution with high accuracy and speed can open new windows on new applications. Conventional methods such as Finite element and finite difference method in high dimensions lose their efficiency, which is a barrier to fast and accurate calculation of these equations. In this dissertation first, we review some theoretical and practical aspects of deep neural networks and then we try to examine the recent...

Abstract

This study provides a stochastic dynamic programming model with a Markov chain that explicitly focuses on the customer as well as a new model for valuing the customers in the banking industry. The proposed framework calculates individual customer’s lifetime value dynamically. The study follows a stochastic dynamic programming model that is based on the Markov chain. The deduced findings are illustrated with supplementary context from an outstanding case study. The findings underline the importance of the stochastic model for calculating customer lifetime value based on customer behavior. The presented framework provides a beneficial way for future research and valuable insight for allocating...

Abstract

Twitter as one of the most important microblogging online social networks has attracted more than 200 million users in recent years. Although there have been several attempts on characterizing the Twitter by using incomplete sampled data, they have not been very successful to estimate the characteristics of the whole network. In this paper, we characterize Twitter by sampling from its social graph and user behaviors through a random walk based sampling technique called Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS). To the best of our knowledge, for the first time RDS method and its estimator are used in order to obtain uniform unbiased estimation of several key structural and behavioral properties of...

Applying Infrared Thermography for Monitoring the Condition and Failure Diagnosis of Power Network

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Seyed Shobeiri, Pooya ; Toossi, Amir (Author) ; Ghodrati, Behzad (Supervisor)

Abstract

Temperature and the resulting thermal behavior of electric power generation and distribution equipment and industrial electrical systems and processes are the most critical factors in the reliability of any operation or facility. Temperature is by far the most measured quantity in any industrial environment. For these reasons, monitoring the thermal operating condition of electrical and electromechanical equipment is considered to be a key factor to increasing operational reliability. Infrared thermography (IR/T) as a condition monitoring technique is used to remotely gather thermal information for monitoring the condition of virtually all of the electrical components on an entire system and...

Studying of the Single Top Quark Produced by Anomalous Interactions Tcg and Tug

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Pooya, Ghasem (Author) ; Ardalan,Farhad (Supervisor) ; Mohammadi Najafabadi, Mojtaba (Supervisor)

Abstract

Anomalous top quark interactions with gluon (tug , tcg) allow the production of single top quarks at the LHC. Two main sources of backgrounds which we took into account are W +1j and standard model single top production. In order to do it, we examine the reconstructed angular distribution of the charged lepton in the rest frame of W boson from the top quark. It is defined in terms of the angle θ_l , between the charged lepton momentum in the rest frame of the W boson and the momentum of the W boson in the rest frame of the top quark. Using this angular distribution of the charged lepton from the W boson in the top decay، we show that with the data of 10fb^(-1) of integrated luminosity and...

Abstract

A double burden of malnutrition occurs when individuals, household members or communities experience both undernutrition and overweight. Here, we show geospatial estimates of overweight and wasting prevalence among children under 5 years of age in 105 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) from 2000 to 2017 and aggregate these to policy-relevant administrative units. Wasting decreased overall across LMICs between 2000 and 2017, from 8.4% (62.3 (55.1–70.8) million) to 6.4% (58.3 (47.6–70.7) million), but is predicted to remain above the World Health Organization’s Global Nutrition Target of <5% in over half of LMICs by 2025. Prevalence of overweight increased from 5.2% (30 (22.8–38.5)...

Abstract

Anemia is a globally widespread condition in women and is associated with reduced economic productivity and increased mortality worldwide. Here we map annual 2000–2018 geospatial estimates of anemia prevalence in women of reproductive age (15–49 years) across 82 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), stratify anemia by severity and aggregate results to policy-relevant administrative and national levels. Additionally, we provide subnational disparity analyses to provide a comprehensive overview of anemia prevalence inequalities within these countries and predict progress toward the World Health Organization’s Global Nutrition Target (WHO GNT) to reduce anemia by half by 2030. Our results...
