    Abstract
    Molybdenum is one of the important elements of the intermediary metal with atomic number 42, which is used in various industries, but among the important uses of this metal in the nuclear industry, we can mention the presence of this element in the production of yellow cake as an impurity and also as a precursor for the production of radiopharmaceuticals. It is one of the impurities that remain in all stages of yellow cake production along with uranium, and the high presence of this element causes the centrifuges to become unbalanced during the injection of "U" "F" _"6" gas, and on the other hand, technetium, the main ingredient in the production of radiopharmaceuticals, It comes from the...

    Abstract
    Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a biocompatible polymer which can be physically crosslinked by Borax to form hydrogel. PVA-Borax (PB) hydrogel is a promising candidate for drug delivery system. Therefore, it is necessary to find the quantitative relationship between drug release rate and network structure of PB hydrogels to predict and control drug release rate. In this work, at first step the optimum ratio of Borax: PVA was determined by studying the interactions between PVA chains and Borax molecules by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, while viscoelastic properties of prepared PB hydrogels were measured in the oscillatory shear flow field. In the following, curcumin as a...

    A Logic For Ambient Intelligence

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Torkaman, Maryam (Author) ; Izadi, Mohammad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Monitoring of activities of elderly and intelligent decisions about their living environment is a key challenge in smart environments. In the case of such challenges, correctness of system performance is highly dependent on how the model is designed. In the ambient intelligence (AMI) modeling, formal modeling is one of the best approaches because it supports certainty. In addition, time, location and mobility in AMI are crucial requirements, particularly in emergency treatment services. Ambient calculus is a formalism for describing mobility, process migration and message transfer, but it cannot express metric time duration. In this paper we propose an extension of ambient calculus with time... 

    Tailoring Software Testing Techiques for Product Line Engineering

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rezvan, Abolfazl (Author) ; Mirian-Hosseinabadi, Hassan (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In industry it is usual to develop a family of similar software instead of a single one. Software product-line (SPL) engineering or family-based software engineering is an approach that tries to minimize needed effort and time-to-market and maximize quality of manufactured products through strategic planning for maximizing reuse among members of the family. On the other hand it is known that testing software is an indivisible part of software development process which requires considerable time and effort. With large number of products created from an SPL, it is obvious that testing should be conducted in such a way that needed effort does not maintain a linear relationship with number of... 

    The Study on Relationship between Viscoelastic Properties and Drug Release of Wound Dress Polyvinyl Alcohol Hydrogel

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rezvan, Gelareh (Author) ; Bagheri, Reza (Supervisor) ; Pircheraghi, Gholamreza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Wound is a defect or failure in the skin texture which occurs as a result of physical or heat injuries or physiological conditions. The wound dress as a temporary cover can improve wound healing process and due to the unique properties, hydrogels have become appropriate choice for this application. Hydrogel’s structure allows drug to be loaded in the wound dress. Hydrogel wound dress should have adequate fluidity to cover wound’s bed and make full contact with the skin. Sufficient cohesion and strength is also necessary to allow the wound dress to remove from wound completely. Therefore, the study on the viscoelastic properties of hydrogel is important. In this study, polyvinyl alcohol...

    Abstract
    Material properties and fracture characteristics are among the most prominent parameters that should be considered for a wide range of graphene applications. This article reviews recent advances in theoretical studies on the mechanical properties and fracture behaviors of graphene, focusing on the effect of various simulation models. Most studies investigated single-layer graphene sheets (SLGSs) under uniaxial tensile tests using different common interatomic potentials, particularly AIREBO. Although researchers have examined a similar problem, specifically for pristine graphene, the differences in the reported values are considerable. These discrepancies are most evident in fracture... 

    Precise Cosmology with Redshift Space Distortion and Calculating Pecular Velocity of SNe type Ia

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Torkaman Gholami, Ali Hossein (Author) ; Baghram, Shant (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The distance measurement is the corner stone of the modern cosmology. They are measured via ”Doppler Effect”, accordingly the distances in cosmology are obtained in red-shift space. Despite the cosmological background expansion, the peculiar velocities due to the local density contrast distort these measurements. One of the main challenges in upcoming cosmological studies is to distinguish the peculiar velocity effect from the background expansion.Supernova Type Ia as standard candles can be think of a crucial observation to address the above problem. In this thesis, we study the effect of cosmological perturbations on distance-redshift relation of the SNIa. The corrective effects are from weak...

    IWA Publishing  2015
    Abstract
    A moving bed biofilm reactor with pre-denitrification configuration was fed with a synthetic wastewater containing high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia. By changing different variables including ammonium and COD loading, nitrification rate in the aerobic reactor and denitrification rate in the anoxic reactor were monitored. Changing the influent loading was achieved via adjusting the inlet COD (956-2,096 mg/L), inlet ammonium (183-438 mg/L), and hydraulic retention time of the aerobic reactor (8, 12, and 18 hours). The overall organic loading rate was in the range of 3.60-17.37 gCOD/m2·day, of which 18.5-91% was removed in the anoxic reactor depending on the operational conditions....

    Abstract
    Sludge handling is a common issue in all biological wastewater treatment methods. In this study, sonication technique as a state-of-the-art technology has been applied to a continuous MBBR system with the aim of sludge reduction. A novel configuration of MBBR with an additional recycle stream of sonicated sludge was used as the experimental setup. Based on exposed energy and sludge disruption performance, optimized sonication density and exposure time were obtained 1.5 W/mL and 15 min, respectively. This condition provided 42.2% increase in soluble COD as a result of sludge disintegration. Our results revealed that the performance of MBBR and excess sludge reduction were affected by...

    Abstract
    A production-routing problem with price-dependent demand (PRP-PD) is studied in this paper. Demand follows a general convex, differentiable, continuous and strictly decreasing function in price. The problem is modeled as a mixed integer nonlinear program (MINLP). Two Outer Approximation (OA) based algorithms are developed to solve the PRP-PD. The efficiency of the proposed algorithms in comparison with commercial MINLP solvers is demonstrated. The computational results show that our basic OA algorithm outperforms the commercial solvers both in solution quality and in computational time aspects. On the other hand, our extended (two-phase) OA algorithm provides near-optimal solutions very...

    In the present work, multistage extraction column performance for reactive separation of molybdenum from the leach aqueous phase by using D2EHPA and TBP in kerosene was investigated by using the axial diffusion model. The variation of volumetric overall mass transfer coefficients based on continuous phases at various operating conditions was obtained. By considering the chemical reaction conditions, the experimental data indicate that the volumetric overall mass transfer coefficients increase with an enhancement in rotor speed and continuous and dispersed phase flow rates. According to the sensitivity analysis, the rotor speed and flow rate of the dispersed phase have more influence on...
