    Observable Effects of Chern-Simons Gravity

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Zeynizadeh, Sarang (Author) ; Parvizi, Shahrokh (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In low energy limit, some string theory models are described with an effective lagrangian which consist of two term. first is Eistein-Hilbert term and second is chern-simons. Adding the chern-simons term to Eistein-Hilbert lagrangian leads to the new modified field equations which schuwarzshild, Reissner-Nordstrom and FRW metrics satisfy these new modified equations while kerr metric is not a solution for these new fields. Since the gravitational field of spinning objects are similar to electromagnetic field, we expect to observe the chern-simons effects in gravitomagnetic component of the gravitational field. Here, in order to better understanding of subject, we investigate the Maxwell... 

    Higgs inflation and general initial conditions

    Abstract
    A Higgs field of particle physics can play the role of the inflaton in the early universe if it is non-minimally coupled to gravity. The Higgs inflation scenario predicts a small tensor to scalar ratio: r≃0.003. Although this value is consistent with the upper bound r < 0.12 given by the BICEP2/Keck Array and Planck data, it is not at their maximum likelihood point: r ≃ 0.05. Inflationary observables depend not only on the inflationary models, but they also depend on the initial conditions of inflation. Changing the initial state of inflation can improve the value of r. In this work, we study the Higgs inflation model under general initial conditions and show that there is a subset of these... 

    Efficient Management of River Water Quality Based on Pollution Trading Approach

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Sarang , Amin (Author) ; Shamsai, Abolfazl (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    “Sustainable development” is a frequently used phrase, but the idiom has been experienced little since it was coined by the Brundtland, due to its intrinsic complications. The issue is going to compromise two key components; economy and ecology. One of the solutions based on concept of sustainable development that has been proposed for maintaining water quality at acceptable levels is to cap pollutant emissions at a sustainable level, then establish an economic market in which the right to discharge pollutants is traded according to market supply and demand mechanisms. Water quality trading or pollution trading is one such kind of market-based program that has also been described using names... 

    How to quantify sustainable development: A risk-based approach to water quality management

    , Article Environmental Management ; Volume 41, Issue 2 , 2008 , Pages 200-220 ; 0364152X (ISSN) Sarang, A ; Vahedi, A ; Shamsai, A ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Since the term was coined in the Brundtland report in 1987, the issue of sustainable development has been challenged in terms of quantification. Different policy options may lend themselves more or less to the underlying principles of sustainability, but no analytical tools are available for a more in-depth assessment of the degree of sustainability. Overall, there are two major schools of thought employing the sustainability concept in managerial decisions: those of measuring and those of monitoring. Measurement of relative sustainability is the key issue in bridging the gap between theory and practice of sustainability of water resources systems. The objective of this study is to develop a... 

    Multiple interactive pollutants in water quality trading

    , Article Environmental Management ; Volume 42, Issue 4 , 2008 , Pages 620-646 ; 0364152X (ISSN) Sarang, A ; Lence, B. J ; Shamsai, A ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Efficient environmental management calls for the consideration of multiple pollutants, for which two main types of transferable discharge permit (TDP) program have been described: separate permits that manage each pollutant individually in separate markets, with each permit based on the quantity of the pollutant or its environmental effects, and weighted-sum permits that aggregate several pollutants as a single commodity to be traded in a single market. In this paper, we perform a mathematical analysis of TDP programs for multiple pollutants that jointly affect the environment (i.e., interactive pollutants) and demonstrate the practicality of this approach for cost-efficient maintenance of... 

    Microscopic Theories for Holographic Dark Energy

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Zeynizadeh, Sarang (Author) ; Nouri-Zonoz, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Golshani, Mehdi (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    Acceleration of the universe is one of the most challenging conundrum of contemporary physics. One of the leading approach to this conundrum is introducing a new component in Einstein’s equations which is called the dark energy. Dark energy models which their’s dynamics are dictated by holographic principle, are called holographic dark energy. Essentially,the constraint implied by the holographic principle is a macroscopic constraint. In consequence, the constraint gives no informations about microscopic aspects of dark energy. To understand the nature of the holographic dark energy, we need a microscopic theory from which we can extract the behaviors of holographic dark energy. It can be... 

    A new epileptic EEG spike detection based on mathematical morphology

    Abstract
    The best usual way in order to diagnosis, control and therapy different kind of Epilepsy is to refer to patient's EEG signals. Usually, in normal conditions of a patient, Epilepsy shows itself through EEG signals in the shape of transient waves. Identification of this waves using human eyes is so difficult that automatic detection methods based on mathematics and signal processing, should have been applied as an auxiliary tool to help physician identify this waves. The most significant transient epileptic waves in EEG are spikes. Up to now, various methods are presented for detection of spikes, but a quantitative and comparative evaluation hasn't been performed. In this work, we suggested a...

    Abstract
    Several mathematical modeling approaches are used to model water resources systems such as deterministic and non-deterministic, lumped and distributed, steady and dynamic, simulation and optimization approaches. All these modeling paradigms - categorized as open systems - assume that the input conditions to the system will not change during their operation. What is happening in the real world is somewhat different. Due to their dynamic behaviors, real world events exert feedbacks from their outputs to their inputs which may cause the input conditions vary with time. This is the main focus of the system dynamics theory which has been introduced in this paper to be applied in water resources...
