Synthesis and characterization of poly(methacrylates) containing spiroacetal and norbornene moieties in side chain [electronic resource]
, Article Journal of Applied Polymer Science ; Volume 77, Issue 1, pages 30–38, 5 July 2000 ; Mirjalili, Bibi Fatemeh ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
A four-step synthetic strategy was applied to achieve novel methacrylic monomers. 5-Norbornene-2,2-dimethanol was prepared from a Diels–Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene and acrolein, followed by the treatment of the adduct with an HCHO/KOH/MeOH solution. The resulting 1,3-diol (1) was then acetalized with different aromatic aldehydes having OH groups on the ring to produce four spiroacetal derivatives. The reaction of methacryloyl chloride with the phenolic derivatives led to four new methacrylic monomers that were identified spectrochemically (mass, FTIR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy). Free radical solution polymerization was used to prepare novel spiroacetal–norbornene containing...
Prediction of DNA/RNA Sequence Binding Site to Protein with the Ability to Implement on GPU
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Koohi, Sommaye (Supervisor)
Abstract
Based on the importance of DNA/RNA binding proteins in different cellular processes, finding binding sites of them play crucial role in many applications, like designing drug/vaccine, designing protein, and cancer control. Many studies target this issue and try to improve the prediction accuracy with three strategies: complex neural-network structures, various types of inputs, and ML methods to extract input features. But due to the growing volume of sequences, these methods face serious processing challenges. So, this paper presents KDeep, based on CNN-LSTM and the primary form of DNA/RNA sequences as input. As the key feature improving the prediction accuracy, we propose a new encoding...

Abstract
Many Middle-East countries, like Iran, have dynamic banking industries and have observed merger and acquisitions (M&A) waves. M&A waves are usually defined in the developed world context and some of their main drivers were identified as: market timing, environment's shocks, merger manias, government regulation and regulatory, and technological changes. It has been discussed that merger waves and their reasons are among the ten most important unsolved mysteries in the field of finance (Brealey and Myers, 1991, p. 923), and as a result of this, it was not possible to completely clarify the reasons behind emerging M&A waves, especially in developing countries; for this reason in these...

Design of Low-Power Zero Temperature Coefficient (ZTC) CMOS Oscillators
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Akbar, Fatemeh (Supervisor)
Abstract
The increasing demand for autonomous vehicles and reliable communication protocols and hardware interfaces, such as CAN bus and USB, underscores the necessity for stable clock sources that maintain a low temperature coefficient (TC) over wide temperature ranges. This demand is particularly emphasized in applications such as wearables, network sensors, downhole devices, WSNs, and IoT, where long-lasting battery life and frequency-stable clock sources over a broad temperature range (e.g. -20 °C to 100 °C) are crucial. Traditionally, variations in frequency caused by temperature have been mitigated by employing off-chip components like crystals or ceramic based oscillators, but this approach...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Sedghi, Nafiseh (Supervisor)
Abstract
Pricing plays an important and essential role in the profit and income of companies. The importance of pricing is not only related to its role in the company's profitability, but it also changes the customer's understanding and loyalty towards the company and can create the company's reputation or destroy it. Determining the right price will increase product sales and increase customer loyalty and create a competitive advantage for the company. One of the most important and influential variables in product pricing is the amount of demand. The main challenge of companies for product pricing is the uncertainty in their demand. In order to deal with this problem, data-driven pricing is used....

Investigating Geometric Proximity Problems on Moving Points
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Zarei, Alireza (Supervisor)
Abstract
An interesting theoretical and practical set of problems in computer science is concerned with the study of spatial relations among objects in a geometric space. Examples of such problems for a set of points P are finding the closest pair of the points P, partitioning space into regions such that all points of a region have minimum distance to the same point in P, and computing the Euclidean minimum spanning tree on P. Moreover, we need mechanisms to efficiently update these properties when the points P are allowed to move or may be inserted or deleted. This is to avoid re-computation of these properties from scratch. Here, we consider the Euclidean minimum spanning tree (EMST) of a set of...
Planar Visibility Counting
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Zarei, Alireza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Planar visibility computing is defined as determining the region of the plane that is visible from a specific observer. This concept has many applications in computer graphics, robotic and computer games. In this thesis we consider two visibility problems: the visibility testing problem which checks the inter-visibility of two objects and the visibility counting problem which counts the number of visible objects from an observer. For these problems we propose new algorithms which have some improvements compare to the previous ones

Abstract
A basic technique in data reduction is to approximate a collection of data by another collection of smaller size. Then, the resulted data are easier to be processed or maintained. An example of such large scale data is the ordered sequence of n points describing a path or a region boundary. We are given a sequence of points p , p , ..., p , and we consider the 1 2 n problem of approximating these points by a path with k < n line segments which error of this path is not greater than special value. Various criterions are defined to compute the path simplification error.This problem can be used in GIS, Image Processing and Computer Graphics problems. In this thesis, we consider special case...

Abstract
Disconnections in neural paths from the central nervous system to the muscles or vice versa cause different neuropathies, thus paralysis in different limbs may occur. As a result of the lack of muscular activity and the decrease in blood perfusion in paralyzed limbs, problems like osteoporosis, increase in the risk of breaking, decline in muscle size, cardiovascular diseases, renal dysfunction, bedsores, etc may happen. In order to induce movement in paralyzed limbs, thus preventingmentioned problems, rowing exercise through Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) may be utilized. In FES, electrical Stimulation using current stimulating pulses is applied to contracting and relaxing muscles,...
Computational Geometry Problems in Black Box Model
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Zarei, Alireza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Moving data is becoming more and more important in different areas such as air traffic control, mobile communications, geographical information systems, GPS and other advanced technologies. In most cases, the path trajectory of such moving data is not known in advance. Moreover, they can change the direction and their speed of motion. Recently, a moving model, called black box model, has been proposed for such environments. In this model, there is a sequence of time stamps in which the position of each object is reported and the maximum displacement of each object in a time step is bounded by a known constant, dmax. In this thesis, we use this model to solve some computational...

Parameterized Approximation Algorithms for Bounded Diameter Minimum Steiner Tree Problem
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Zarei, Alireza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Given a graph G with a set of terminals, two weight functions c and d defined on the edge set of G, and a bound D, a popular NP-hard problem in designing networks is to find the minimum cost Steiner tree (under function c) in G, to connect all terminals in such a way that its diameter (under function d) is bounded by D. Marathe et al. [1] proposed an (O(log2n);O(log2n)) approximation algorithm for this bicriteria problem, where n is the number of terminals. The first factor reflects the approximation ratio on the diameter bound D, and the second factor indicates the cost-approximation ratio. Later, Kapoor and Sarwat [2] introduced a parameterized approximation algorithm with performance...
