The most fundamental concept in considering electrical properties of reservoir rocks are formation Resistivity factor and Resistivity index which are defined by Archie and are useful in interpretation of well logging, evaluation of porosity and saturation. A theory on the relationship between formation resistivity factor and porosity, also resistivity index and saturation are presented by use of parameters Cementation factor and Saturation exponent. The Archie equation is valid only when the rock is strongly water-wet and clay free, which is not the case in carbonate rocks. Therefore the Archie equation cannot be generalized over the entire carbonate reservoirs. On the other hand influence... 

Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation is a new and promising method for synthesis of oxide layers and coatings on light metals such as titanium and aluminum. This method is a fast, easy and economicalway to produce TiO2 layers on Ti substrate. Photocatalytic properties of TiO2 can be improved with doping of other elements such as metals and non-metals by expanding its band gap which is in UV area of light spectrum in to visible area.Photocatalytic properties of TiO2 is also dependent on surface area and grain size, oxide layers which has been produced with PEO process has a high surface area due to its porosity. Voltage, electrolyte and additives concentration are among parameters which can affect... 

Congestion is an important issue in the network environment. To keep stable the perfor-mance of the network, congestion control algorithms have been extensively studied. Queue management method employed by the routers is one of the important issues in the congestion control study. Active Queue Management (AQM) has been proposed for early detection of congestion inside the network. AQM mechanisms control the queue length in a router by dropping arriving packets. The Random Early Detection (RED) is the most popular AQM mechanism used in routers on the Intenet to allow network users to simultaneously achieve high throughput and low average delay. The RED algorithm may cause heavy oscillation of... 

A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a set of wireless mobile nodes that form a self configured network. MANETs do not have infrastructure and are not currently deployed on large scales. So research in this area is simulation based. Mobility model in a mobile ad hoc network explains the movement pattern of mobile users and is designed to describe the change of their location, velocity and acceleration over time. One of the challenges in this field is the definition of a common mobility model that provides an accurate and realistic movement description of mobile nodes. In this thesis we want to study the mobility pattern of vehicles on Kish Island and compare it with different kinds of... 

Nowadays recommender systems are one of the most important parts of big websites. These systems help users to find their intended items among enormous amounts of data. Traditionally, recommender systems are designed and implemented using different methods such as content based, collaborative and demographic filtering. Each of these methods had some problems that lead to emergence of a new kind of recommender systems called hybrid recommender systems. This kind of recommender systems try to combine the other methods and make them better. In this thesis, we have selected some previous recommender systems and then, we have made a new system by combining and reforming them. The resulted... 

Estimation of runoff in the ungauged basins is a challenge for hydrologists. The main objective of this research is to produce runoff coefficient map using SCS-CN (1972) and Kennessey (1930) as empirical models to for Urmia Lake basin between for 2006-2011.Both SCS-CN and Kennessey methods use slope, land use, and soil permeability data to estimate surface runoff. Accuracy of each model is tested along with the observed runoff using the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE).Urmia Lake basin includes about 400,000 hectares irrigated land, which constitutes around 10 percent of the entire basin area. To exclude the anthropological activities from the estimations, methods were applied only for 28...
