Cognitive radio (CR) can successfully deal with the growing demand and scarcity of the wireless spectrum. To exploit limited spectrum efficiently, CR technology allows unlicensed users to access licensed spectrum bands. Since licensed users have priorities to use the bands, the unlicensed users need to continuously monitor the licensed users activities to avoid interference and collisions. How to obtain reliable results of the licensed users activities is the main task for spectrum sensing. Based on the sensing results, the unlicensed users should adapt their transmit powers and access strategies to protect the licensed communications. The requirement naturally presents challenges to the... 

Large-size buried pipelines are an efficient way of transporting of water, waste water, sewage, gas, and oil resources in across the world. Since the buried pipe lines are exposed to many unexpected conditions, such as landslides, corrosion, fatigue, unexpected loading, earthquakes, material flaws or even intentional damaging, so the inspection requirements lead to adoption of new method of maintenance, protection and conserving of pipelines. This proposed project aims to improve the trustworthiness, reliable, yet economical technologies for monitoring of behavior of buried pipe lines during operation and assessing the risk of pipe lines failure. Piezoelectric sensor is bonded on the surface... 

Marine structures are always exposed to environmental loadings such as wind, wave, earthquake and sea currents. The wave-induced force could cause the critical stress in elements and due to fatigue failure, because of being random and periodical. In generally, it can be shown that fatigue is an extremely important phenomenon and one of the main problems in the long time destruction of the structure, because of severe corrosion and random loading in the marine environment.In order to reduce the effect of environmental loads, using control mechanisms is a new method to control vibrations of structures. These systems cause the reduction of structure responding such as acceleration, velocity and... 

Pump and treat is one of the oldest and mostly used methods in remediation of groundwater. Although this method has been criticized recently, it is still widely be used. The systems typically use one or more extraction and injection wells to hydraulically control the contamination plume. The purpose of studying a pump and treat system is to determine the appropriate location and discharge for the wells in the way that the contamination could be pumped out. In this study after reviewing some existing solutions for delineation the capture zone of single well a method to delineate the capture zone for arbitrary located wells is presented. This method can delineate a three dimensional capture... 

Predicting the Amino Acids that have a catalytic effect in the enzymes, is a big step in appointing the activity of the enzymes and classifying them. This is a very challenging job, because an Amino Acid can appear in a variety of active sites.The biological activity of a protein usually depends on the existence of a small number of Amino Acids. Detecting these Amino Acids from the sequence of Amino Acids has many applications. Usually, the Amino Acids that are preserved are known as the Amino Acids that build up the active site, but the algorithms for finding the preserved Amino Acids are much more complex. There are a lot of algorithms for predicting the active sites of Amino Acids, but...
