Social network is a map of relationships among individuals or organizations. With the development of social network sites (SNS), security protection of private information online has been a serious and important research topic. Information in social networks is online all the time and available to a large number of visitors. The main problem in current SNSs is that, people are not able to define different categories for their relations and then they cannot have good self-defined privacy policies. Also default policies cannot satisfy different environments and cultures and will serve information to strangers. After that different social networks with different interfaces are not... 

RF amplifier are one of the most important part of communication industry. microwave tubes are of the most sensitive and expensive parts of such systems, protection measures are of high importance. One of the phenomena that cause failure or degradation of tubes is electric arc in cathode of the tubes and dissipating energy due to that. In order to prevent the tubes from undergoing such harm, protection must be put into consideration. Furthermore, the limit of this dissipating energy determines the capacitor needed at the output of the power supply of the cathode. Since the value of the capacitor is directly proportionate to the amount of ripple of the output voltage, an exact calculation of... 

Current transformers (CTs) are the most common current sensors in power system and use with measuring instruments and protective relays. Saturation of the protective CT threatens the proper operation of relays, while, the ratio error in a measuring CT directly reduces the accuracy of power system state estimation. In this dissertation, firstly, a test device has been introduced to identify the parameters of CT low-frequency model. Afterward, a digital compensator has been proposed to suppress the adverse effect of CT saturation. This compensator is capable to reproduce both the saturated inrush current and fault current that distinguishes it from other proposed methods. In addition, this... 

High voltage power supplies (HVPS) are widely used to supply the vacuum tubes. The function of this power supply is disturbed by some internal and external faults. One of the external faults is the arc fault in the tube. The amount of delivered energy from the HVPS to the tube is an important issue during the arc fault in the tube. The conventional protection mechanism consists of a shunt crowbar device which divert the fault current from the tube arc. The crowbar circuit is usually built with thyristor in most cases. This type of crowbar cannot be turned off simply by protection command. It is a drawback since if the fault is transient such as arc in the load or false fault detection is... 

Ground vibration induced by human activity such as industrial activities, Blasting, in construction or deconstruction operation. Ground vibration reaches the troublesome limit for men. In the densely populated urban regions and buildings housing, ground vibration has to be strictly controlled. Many vibration reduction methods have been proposed.A metod of protecting structures from dynamic loads is using trench wich will be located between the dynamic sources and the protected structures. Inappropriate designing of trenches will reduce its effect. In this research the effect of trenches and their different properties, such as type of material, width, trench depth, soil bed type and distance... 

The growth of traffic in metro and core networks is not deniable today, in addition to the volume of traffic, their different requirement force operators to dimension IP over optical network for the peak traffics and also cares about requirements of the traffics. this multi-policy enabled network using new extended technology such as Elastic Optical Network and Bandwidth variable transponders is used to design network with minimum cost and resource. There is different quality of service parameter, in this work we focus on end to end latency and survivability. we present ILP formulation for the IP over elastic optical network and introduce these parameters to this formulation, as we know... 

Power transformer is one of the most important equipment in the power system which plays a key role in the reliability and quality of power delivery. Among numerous failure modes of a typical power transformer, the turn-to-turn fault (TTF) is one of the most prominent reasons for its unplanned outage. A turn-to-turn fault quite often begins with the degradation of the winding insulation between two adjacent turns, then in a short time, this low-level fault can progress to a large number of turns and results in the transformer costly damages. Therefore, it is vital to detect TTF at an early stage and prevent its progression to a catastrophic disaster. The conventional percentage differential... 

One of the most critical equipments in power grids are power transformers, which are vulnerable to damage due to the possibility of faults in its various components. A very common category of such faults is turn-to-turn fault in its winding. This fault initiates by the aging of the winding insulation with a short circuit of several adjacent loops to each other and if it is not detected quickly by the transformer protection, it will spread rapidly and can lead to irreparable failure in the transformer. Traditionally, turn-to-turn fault should be detected by mechanical pressure relays, however, due to the poor performance of these relays in the rapid detection of this type of fault, in the... 

Power Inverter or DC to AC voltage converter is one of the most important and widely discussed topics in the world of power electronics and systems such as DC/DC converters. Increasing the switching frequency of the inverter, in addition to its many advantages, also creates challenges that will be addressed in this dissertation. To build a high frequency yet reliable inverter, you need accurate and comprehensive information about the inverter circuitry, parasitic elements, switches and their behavior against fault conditions such as short circuit, protection requirements and etc.In this dissertation, several MOSFET transistors is shorted under various test conditions while parameters... 

The telecommunication manhole is a place that the cables of the telephone network are located on it. line Inside these manholes, there are equipment and cables for telephone. The number of these places is many, so protection and maintenance of the manholes have been problematic in case of theft of the cap, equipment inside them and flooding. Also, lack of inspection officers and the high cost of repairing and replacing parts inside them, has made it difficult for telecom companies to handle these problems. The only way to connect the manhole is a telephone line inside them. Also, there is no proper electrical power inside the manhole, so the design and implementation of a system that...
