Electronic voting is one of the applications of electronic systems, in which collection and tallying the votes are performed electronically. In electronic voting systems, cryptography is used to provide security requirements but defects of the cryptography have made the electronic voting protocol designers to use strong assumptions which are impractical or hard to implement.In this research, some of the strong assumptions in electronic voting protocols are studied and the soloution of solving them is given. First, the assumption of trusting to the tally authority in electronic voting protocols which are based on deniable authentications is considered and a new internet voting protocol based... 

In order to protect the proxy signers’ privacy, many anonymous proxy signature schemes have been proposed. As far as we know, there is no provable secure anonymous proxy signature scheme without random oracles. Because the provable security in the random oracle model has received a lot of criticism, in this thesis, the aim is proposing the first provable secure anonymous proxy signature in the standard model based on existing standard assumptions.It is shown in the standard model that, the proposal is anonymous against full key exposure and existential unforgeable with the computational Diffie Hellman (CDH) and Subgroup Hiding (SGH) assumptions in bilinear groups.To provide anonymity for proxy...

Fair exchange of digital items through computer network is an important research topic of modern cryptography. Generallty, a fair exchange protocol is a way which helps two parties to exchange their digital items fairly, so that at the end of the protocol execution, both parties recieve their desirable items or none of them recieves anything. In a practical applications, fair exchange protocol is widely used in different but related fields like contract signing protocols,non-repudiation protocols,e-ayment system and certified e-mails. In a fair exchange protocol, a trusted third party (TTP) acts as an arbitrator between two parties. To reduce the traffic load of the arbitrator, the concept... 

In this thesis, we consider a neutral predator–prey model with the Beddington–DeAngelis functional response and impulsive effect. Sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of positive periodic solutions by a systematic qualitative analysis. Some known results in the literature are generalized  

In this thesis, we consider a system containing fluid equations, structure equations, and equations of these two materials’ common interface in three dimensions and on the regular domains. We suppose that the solid which is described by the Lamé system of linear elasticity, moves inside an incompressible viscous fluid in three dimensions, and the fluid obeys the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a time-dependent domain. At the fluid–solid interface, natural conditions are imposed, continuity of the velocities and of the Cauchy stress forces. The fluid and the solid are coupled through these conditions. By this interaction, the fluid deforms the boundary of the solid which in turn...

Scientific research must be carried out to find solutions to the present critical situation in the cement industry. The application of Lean Management System leads to a sustainable development of cement industry.In this study, a... 

Third order differential equations which describe pseudospherical surfaces are considered. The complete classification of a class of such equations is given. A linear problem with one or more parameters, also known as zero curvature representation, for which the equation is the integrability condition, is explicitly given. The classification provides five large families of differential equations. Third order nonlinear dispersive wave equations, such as the Camassa–Holm equation and Degasperis–Procesi equation are examples contained in the classification. Many other explicit examples are included  

We consider a system of nonlinear partial differential equations corresponding to a generalization of a mathematical model for geographical spreading of dengue disease. the mosquito population is divided into subpopulations: winged form (mature female mosquitoes) and aquatic form (comprising eggs, larvae and pupae); the human population is divided into the subpopulations:susceptible, infected and removed (or immune). On the other hand we allow higher spatial dimensions and also parameters depending on space and time. is last generalization is done to cope with possible abiotic effects as variations in temperature, humidity, wind velocity, carrier capacities, and so on; thus, the results... 

An understanding of the effect of degree of cementation on static behavior of cemented soils in becoming increasingly important in design and analysis of geotechnical engineering problems. Naturally cemented coarse-grained soils are widely present in many parts of the world. Misunderstanding of the behavior of such soils could lead to under or overestimate of the soil parameters. Previous studies conducted by Prof. Haeri and his co-workers show that most of the alluvial deposit of Tehran, the capital city of Iran. The amount and characteristics of the cementation of the deposit varies in different parts from highly cemented in the north to non-cemented in the south. This deposit consists of... 

Optimization always has been a major industrial field of study. Optimization is the process of finding the best result based on some events.

Artificial immune systems (AIS) constitute a novel area of bio-inspired computing. Biological models of the natural immune system, in particular the theories of clonal selection, immune networks and negative selection, have provided the inspiration for AIS algorithms. Moreover, such algorithms have been successfully employed in a wide variety of different areas, but have not been applied for chemical processes yet. One important part of the immune systems is lymphatic system. Clonal selection is one of the few algorithms that belong to the family of AIS techniques. Clonal selection algorithm is the computational implementation of the clonal selection principle. In this project, we have... 

Fatigue life and crack growth retardation due to periodic tensile overload that superposed on constant amplitude cycles has been investigated. The tests were performed using C(T) specimens made of 7075 aluminium. All periodic overload tests were carried out at the same spacing between overloads and the effect of overload ratio on fatigue life has been investigated. Results of experiments revealed that the at low and high overload ratios, crack growth rate is relatively high and there is an optimum OLR that maximize interaction and thus minimize FCGR. Whit OCR-1=50, overload ratio of 1.85 led to maximum interaction and resulted in 219% increase in specimen's life relative to CA loading. Also...
