On The Foundation of Cognitive Sciences: A Critique of Neurotheology
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseini, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
One of the tasks of philosophy of science is to study the pre-suppositions involved in the natural sciences, to study the concepts used in scientific researches and theorizing. Hence, neglecting philosophy and even the modality of philosophical views, can have devastating effects on any science, including psychology (if it can be called science). Wittgenstein believed that in psychology we are confronted with experimental methods and conceptual confusion, and that this confusion does not go away with giving the title of young knowledge to the psychology. The emergence and dominance of behaviorism can be attributed to the effects of positivism and the uncomprehensive interpretation of physics...
Providing a Suitable Drug Delivery Plan for Cancer Treatment with Chemotherapy and Anti-Angiogenic Agent
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Moradi, Hamed (Supervisor)
Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, accounting for approximately 12% of global mortality. Cancer treatment encompasses various methods, with chemotherapy being one of the most common approaches for treating malignant tumors. Angiogenesis is a phenomenon that significantly accelerates the growth of cancer cells; therefore, combination therapies that include both chemotherapy and anti-angiogenic drugs are often employed. Dynamic models are highly effective for estimating cell growth processes in cancer, as they not only provide valuable insights into cell growth trends but also allow for the examination of these processes with significantly lower time and cost compared to...
Effects of Piezoelectric Patches Placement and Sizing on Dynamic Behavior of Multilayer Sandwich Panels using Finite Element Method
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseini Kordkheili, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
This thesis focuses on how the dimensions and location of piezoelectric patches affect thedynamic behavior of multi layered sandwich panels by the use of finite element method (FEM). To accomplish this objective the finite element formulation of the problem, including coupling of electrical and mechanical characteristic equations for piezoelectric patches is derived. Finite element modeling of sandwich panels is presented on the basis of classic theory and also first order shear displacement hypothesis for multi-layered plates. To perform finite element analysis, ABAQUS is utilized and the development procedure of a finite element model by this software is also introduced. After verifying...
Investigating Scenarios for Reducing Carbon Footprint of Greenhouse Products Using Energy-Efficient Technologies in Iran
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Roshandel, Ramin (Supervisor)
Abstract
The present study aims to reduce the carbon footprint of greenhouse products to provide a decision tool for sustainable development of greenhouses. In order to provide this decision tool, the impact of four scenarios or energy-efficient technology for greenhouse heating, including: combine heat and power system(CHP), new greenhouse covering material, industrial symbiosis, and solar collector on the carbon footprint of greenhouse products has been studied because one of the main factors in the release of carbon footprints of greenhouse products is the use of fossil fuels for greenhouse heating. Energy modeling has been used to estimate the amount of heating, cooling, and artificial lighting...

Abstract
First stage blades tempreture in the turbine rotor section for the advanced turbines has increased up to 1100oc. The blades should be under mentioned condition for the long times up to 70000 hours and accordingly creep happens. Fatigue–creep interaction is the main reason for the failures of many engineering components under high temperature and cyclic loading. In this thesis, a model for the life prediction of fatigue–creep interaction which was developed by other investigators has been modified to predict fatigue–creep interaction on the nickel-based superalloys. In this model, the law of energy conservation and the momentum conservation principle are used to describe the process of...
Molecular dynamics simulation of manipulation of metallic nanoclusters on double-layer substrates [electronic resource]
, Article Physica E: Low-dimensional Systems and Nanostructures ; 2010, Vol. 42, No. 9, pp. 2364-2374 ; Meghdari, Ali ; Jalili, Nader ; Amiri, Farshid ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to investigate the manipulation of metallic clusters on double-layer surfaces. The system parts are made of transition metals. The conditions which are subjected to change in the tests are material combinations for cluster, main substrate and lubricant layer (adlayer). In addition to qualitative observations, two criteria which represent the particle deformation and substrate abrasion are utilized as evaluation tools and are computed for each case. Obtaining this sort of knowledge is highly beneficial for further experiments in order to be able to plan the conditions and routines, which guarantee better success in the manipulation process
Investigation of surface stress effect in 3D complex nano parts using FEM and modified boundary Cauchy-Born method
, Article Journal of Computational Science ; Volume 10 , 2015 , Pages 1-12 ; 18777503 (ISSN) ; Alipour, K ; Solgi, S ; Irani, S ; Haddadpour, H ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
In this paper the surface effects in 3D complex parts are investigated via classical FEM and the modified boundary Cauchy-Born method, which are continuum based theories, and the results are compared with molecular dynamics simulations. The boundary Cauchy-Born covers the weakness of the surface Cauchy-Born in modeling edge and corner elements, so the results are in better agreement with molecular dynamics simulations. Using super convergent patch recovery method, MBCB shows more precise results in comparison with BCB as it can model acute and obtuse angles which cannot be modeled via BCB. The flexibility of MBCB in modeling 3D complex and non-right angle geometries are utilized to model...

Abstract
This paper presents a multi agent system which can help type 2 diabetic patients. Because of diabetes nature, medical care and lifestyle can both prevent the complications of this illness, so self-managing is very crucial for these patients. Therefore, each effective factor of controlling diabetes and increasing patients' knowledge including: suitable diet and monitoring blood glucose level, is assigned to be an agent which works independently whilst coordinates and cooperates with other agents. The proposed architecture of this multi agent system organizes all the various agents of this system in a way that not only each of them can accomplish their responsibility, but also they can have...

Abstract
Based on the fact that the manipulation of fine nanoclusters calls for more precise modelling, the aim of this paper is to conduct an atomistic investigation for interaction analysis of particle-substrate system for pushing and positioning purposes. In the present research, 2D molecular dynamics simulations have been used to investigate such behaviours. Performing the planar simulations can provide a fairly acceptable qualitative tool for our purpose while the computation time is reduced extremely in comparison to 3D simulations. To perform this study, Nose-Hoover dynamics and Sutton-Chen interatomic potential will be used to investigate the behaviour of the aforementioned system. Pushing of...

The system parts are made of pure transition metals and Sutton-Chen many-body potential is used as interatomic potential. The conditions which are subjected to change in the tests include: materials used for particles and substrate, and surface step conditions. In addition to qualitative observations, two criteria which represent the particle deformation and substrate abrasion are utilized as evaluation tools and are computed for each case. Simulation results show the effect of the aforementioned working conditions on...
