    Elsevier B.V  2017
    Abstract
    Two new macrocyclic ligands containing 17- and 19-membered O2N3-donor aza-crowns anchored to [60]Fullerene were synthesized and characterized by employing HPLC, electrospray ionization mass (ESI-MS), 1H and 13C NMR, UV–vis, IR spectroscopies, as well as powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in solid state. TGA measurements revealed that upon linking each of these macrocycle rings to [60]Fullerene, the decomposition point measured for [60]Fullerene moiety was increased, indicating on the promoted stability of [60]Fullerene backbone during binding to these macrocyclic ligands. Moreover, the ground state non-covalent interactions of [60]Fullerene derivatives of...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Hojati, Zahra Sadat (Author) ; Karimi Taheri, Ali (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Thermomechanical processing during hot rolling and subsequent annealing of rolled sheets are one of the procedures for improving the tensile and formability properties of metals and alloys. In this regard temperature and reduction in area are the most important variables governing the behavior of 304 L austenitic stainless steel during the hot rolling process. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of rolling temperature and subsequent annealing on 304L steel in order to achieve a microstructure with favorable mechanical properties and bimodal grain size. For this purpose, the rolling process at temperatures of -50, 25, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 900 °C using different thickness... 

    Computational elucidation of the aging time effect on zeolite synthesis selectivity in the presence of water and diquaternary ammonium iodide

    , Article Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics ; Volume 23, Issue 37 , 2021 , Pages 21240-21248 ; 14639076 (ISSN) Ghanbari, B ; Kazemi Zangeneh, F ; Sastre, G ; Moeinian, M ; Marhabaie, S ; Taheri Rizi, Z ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    An example of zeolite selectivity (MFI → MOR) driven by synthesis aging time has been studied. Using N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-N,N′-dipropyl-ethylenediammonium diiodide (TMDP) as an organic structure-directing agent (OSDA), the zeolite phases obtained at 2 h (MFI 97%), 8 h (MFI 84%, MOR 16%) and 24 h (MFI 43%, MOR 57%) have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The results suggest that at intermediate aging time, namely 8 h and 24 h, the dominant phase (MFI) is displaced by MOR. Different techniques (FT-IR, Raman, 13C MAS NMR, TGA/DTG and HC microanalysis) have been employed to verify the OSDA integrity and occlusion inside the zeolite micropores as well as to quantify the water and...

    Abstract
    Microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties of a friction stir welded cast aluminum bronze (Cu-9Al-1Fe), produced by a sand casting method, have been investigated at tool rotation of 850-1500 rpm and traverse speed of 50-100 mm/min. Refinement of the primary coarse cast microstructure in the base metal was seen after friction stir welding. Microstructure of the stir zone was characterized in four distinct areas of non-isometric fine grains while a significant grain growth was noticed in some of the areas. Conditions of grain growth are defined with high heat input intensity and low heat transfer capability. The grain size was observed to decrease after FSW, resulting in a... 

    A Study of the Conflict between Scientific Realism and Anti-Realism from the Perspective of Evolutionary Epistemology or Evolutionary empiricism

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Jorkesh Rizi, Behzad (Author) ; Akbari, Javad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    We know that Science has been one of the most influential cultural revolutions in recent centuries, and that, due to its remarkable successes and achievements, it has rapidly spread across many societies and cultures. Scientific theories have attracted the attention of many thinkers, but among these theories, Darwin's theory of evolution has attracted more attention in that it also claims to explain the origin of humans. One outcome of this theory is that man, and consequently all his attributes, including his cognitive powers, language, and culture (which are unique among the attributes of other species), came into being through a process of evolution and natural selection. But can the...

    Abstract
    Most sulfide oxidizing bioreactors are based on pure cultures or artificial mixes of microorganisms with strict requirements for growth, which make the system unstable and do not guarantee their long term performance. The ultimate goal of this study is to develop a natural mix of chemotrophic bacteria that may be applied anaerobically for the treatment of sour gas. Activated sludge from local municipal wastewater treatment plant that was maintained in endogenous anaerobic conditions for one year was used in this study. Total suspended solids (TSS) and volatile suspended solids (VSS) of the sludge was 22 gl-1 and 14.3 gl-1, respectively. A glass culture vessel had a volume of 0.65 L was used...

    Abstract
    Building envelope is the sole interface with outdoors that can lie in the level of integrating control strategies to enhance occupant’s comfort and building performance. However, in the literature, there is still a lack of multi-purpose control strategies which can balance diverse and antagonistic aspects of occupant comfort while keeping the building energy consumption under control. Therefore, this research proposed an integrated simulation-based workflow using EnergyPlus and Python-based package, OpyPlus, to adjust a roller shade for single occupied office space in a hot and arid climate. The developed system aims to improve both occupant’s visual and thermal comfort considering daylight...

    Abstract
    In this study, a three-dimensional mathematical model, based on a nonuniform droplet concentration distribution, has been developed to simulate gas absorption in a venturi scrubber. The mass transfer process was illustrated by assuming the liquid phase as a combination of droplets and film. The flow, just as the annular two-phase flow, includes a flow of liquid film layer on the walls and a flow of gas and liquid drops in the core. Peclet number was determined using experimental data reported by Viswanathan et al. (1984) for distribution of droplets across the cross section of the scrubber. The mathematical model for gas absorption was justified by comparing the theoretical predictions with...

    Abstract
    An n × n matrix A is said to be silver if, for i = 1,2,...,n, each symbol in {1,2,...,2n - 1} appears either in the ith row or the ith column of A. The 38th International Mathematical Olympiad asked whether a silver matrix exists with n = 1997. More generally, a silver cube is a triple (K n d , I, c) where I is a maximum independent set in a Cartesian power of the complete graph K n , and c : V(K n d)→ {1,2,...,d(n-1)+1} is a vertex colouring where, for ν ∈ I, the closed neighbourhood N[ν] sees every colour. Silver cubes are related to codes, dominating sets, and those with n a prime power are also related to finite geometry. We present here algebraic constructions, small examples, and a...

    Abstract
    The main problem with airway segmentation methods which significantly influences their accuracy is leakage into the extra-luminal regions due to thinness of the airway wall during the process of segmentation. This phenomenon potentially makes large regions of lungparenchyma to be wrongly identified as airways. A solution to this problem in the previous methods was based on leak detection followed by reducing leakage during the segmentation process. This has been dealt with adjusting the segmentation parameters and performing the re-segmentation process on the pre-segmented area. This makes the algorithm very exhaustive and more dependent on the user interaction. The method presented here is... 

    Elimination of Blocker Signals in Radio Receivers Using Time-Varying Circuits

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rajaei Rizi, Mohammad Mahdi (Author) ; Fotowat Ahmadi, Ali (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    According to increasingly utilization of different frequency spots, RF receivers are allways under the threats of compression and desensitization because of large out-of-band or in-band blockers. The IC technologies afford fast, low-resistance switches as scaling keeps going on. With this mind, the Linear Periodic Time Varying circuits, in which the switches play the most dominant role, will be a sensible candidate for the concerns of blocker detection and rejection. Furthermore, nowadays’ receivers should be reconfigureable so as to be tunable at different frequency bands and satisfy contrastive standards. In this regard, the LPTV filters provide vast range of tunablity not only with...

    , Article Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance ; Volume 27, Issue 5 , 2018 , Pages 2049-2059 ; 10599495 (ISSN) Akbari, E ; Karimi Taheri, K ; Karimi Taheri, A ; Sharif University of Technology
    Springer New York LLC  2018
    Abstract
    In this research, the samples of a low carbon steel sheet were rolled up to a thickness prestrain of 67% at three different temperatures consisted of room, blue brittleness, and subzero temperature. Microhardness, SEM, and tensile tests were carried out to evaluate the static recrystallization kinetics defined by the Avrami equation, microstructural evolution, and mechanical properties. It was found that the Avrami exponent is altered with change in prestrain temperature and it achieves the value of 1 to 1. 5. Moreover, it was indicated that prestraining at subzero temperature followed by annealing at 600 °C leads to considerable enhancement in tensile properties and kinetics of static...

    Abstract
    A coiled carbon nanotube (CCNT) can be formed from the distortion of parent toroidal carbon nanotube with a uniform pitch length and a uniform spring rise angle. In this research molecular dynamics simulation was carried out to assess the tensile properties of three CCNT having indexes of (3,3), (4,4), and (5,5). The results indicated that Stone-Wales defects are necessary for thermodynamic stability of the CCNTs. The stress-strain curves showed that the yield stress, yield strain, and failure strain are decreased with increase in temperature. The force-displacement curves revealed that the spring constant of these materials is highly depended on the tube diameter and rising angle, while it...

    Abstract
    In today's era, metal nanoparticles play an important role in technologies emerging from different sciences, such as chemistry, physics, optics, material science, due to their unique characteristics. In the development of nanooptics science, it can be said that metal nanoparticles play an important role. The ability of conductive electrons collective oscillation causes surface charge density fluctuations in nanoparticles, this phenomenon is known as surface plasmons. Surface plasmons are surprisingly coupled with light and cause the significant increase in the intensity of optical fields induced in nanoparticles. Therefore, with the presence of localized surface plasmons or plasmon...
