Abstract
Curcumin incorporated polyurethanes (CPU) are gaining much attention as a biomaterial. However, challenges are still remained due to hydrophobicity and low mechanical strength of CPU. Herein, we synthesized the CPU/ZnO nanocomposites with good mechanical and improved hydrophilic properties via in-situ polymerization. A series of curcumin incorporated polyurethane with different concentrations of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnCPU) are synthesized by using the curcumin, polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the soft segment, hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) as the hard segment, and 1,4-butanediol (BDO) as the chain extender. The addition of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) facilitated the soft domain of PU which is...

Abstract
Porphyrin-POM hybrid materials with excellent NLO properties are supposed to be a worthy entrant for forthcoming telecommunication, optical fibers, optical data storage and optical limiting devices, but due to adverse solubility problems, they are replaced by polymeric materials. Herein, we assessed third order NLO and second hyperpolarizability of porphyrin-polyimide compounds (NH-PI and Zn-PI) synthesized from the reaction of 4,4ʹ-hexafluoroisopropylidene-diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) with C44H32N6 (NH-DATPP) and C44H30N4Zn (Zn-DATPP) porphyrins under ambient conditions. The Z-scan measurement of these compounds revealed reverse saturation absorption as well as self-defocusing performance....

, Article 2009 IEEE International Conference on Communications, ICC 2009, Dresden, 14 June 2009 through 18 June 2009 ; 2009 ; 05361486 (ISSN); 9781424434350 (ISBN) ; Pakravan, M. R ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Although flooding and its variants are widely deployed for broadcasting by different applications, there are limited results on a complete and comprehensive analytical framework describing their behavior in general cases. We have previously published results which provide an upper bound for the performance of flooding when flooded packets have the highest serving priority. In this paper, using a different and simpler approach, we develop an analytical framework for analysis of flooding in general cases where flooding packets do not receive any special priority treatment in the network. The analysis is performed for a static multi-hop ad hoc wireless network using CSMA as its MAC layer. The...

Abstract
There are applications where important and critical data should be sent to all nodes in a wireless Ad-hoc network. Flooding and its variants are typically used to achieve this target. Network coding can also be used for broadcasting in such an environment. Energy consumption in the network, coverage and total delay are all important parameters that should be considered when an algorithm is evaluated. In this article, a reliable and energy efficient single source broadcasting algorithm is proposed based on network coding. This algorithm guarantees the delivery of desired messages to all network nodes, consumes less energy compared and reduces the total delay compared to other algorithms. This...
Energy-Aware Computation Offloading for Wireless Powered Mobile-Edge Computing Systems
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Shah Mansouri, Hamed (Supervisor)
Abstract
Mobile edge computing (MEC) is envisioned to address the computation demands of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, it is crucial for the MEC to operate in coordination with the cloud tier to achieve a highly scalable IoT system. In addition, IoT devices require regular maintenance to either recharge or replace their batteries which may not always be feasible. Wireless energy transfer (WET) can provide IoT devices a stable source of energy. Nonetheless, proper scheduling of energy harvesting and efficient allocation of computing resources are the key for sustainable operation of these devices. In this thesis, we introduce a three-tier wireless powered mobile edge computing (WPMEC)...

Abstract
In this thesis we will focus on operating room scheduling considering open strategy and uncertainty in the duration of operations for elective patients. A mixed integer programming model will be proposed having the expected list of patients that are going to be scheduled in the specific time horizon and working hours of doctors with the purpose of maximizing the number of scheduled elective patients in the determined time horizon. We aim to assign each patient to an operating room and a start time regarding operating rooms and surgeons working hours, care units capacity constraints and sequencing constraints.

Artificial Intelligence as a Service in Edge Computing
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Shah Mansouri, Hamed (Supervisor)
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an instrumental force in reshaping various sectors, especially in mobile networks. To realize AI as a service (AIaaS) and enable prompt decision-making, edge computing has risen as an innovative response, pushing computation closer to data sources. Although this is promising to reduce the dependency on remote cloud infrastructures and save the mobile devices’ energy, current methodologies display constraints in effectively distributing deep neural network (DNN) inference tasks, leading to possible resource underutilization and performance compromises. To tackle these issues, in this thesis, we study AIaaS at the edge and focus on renowned DNN...
Superstructure Optimization of CO2 Capture, transport, and Utilization in Industrial Symbiosis Networks
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Roshandel, Ramin (Supervisor)
Abstract
CO2 capture and utilization (CCU) is a promising approach to reduce and control emissions from the industry and energy sector, while also creating new jobs and value-added products. However, one of the main barriers to the widespread adoption of CCU is the high investment and operating costs, which limit its implementation to mostly government-supported research projects. To overcome this barrier, structural optimization and identification of optimal routes and formation of industrial symbiosis networks are needed. In this research, we developed a comprehensive superstructure that includes sources and sinks (in a case study), CO2 capture and separation material and technology combinations...

Abstract
Al–5·6Zn, Al–5·6Zn–2·5Mg and Al–5·6Zn–2·5Mg–1·6Cu (wt-%) powder blends were compacted at 350 MPa and sintered in nitrogen at different temperatures to study microstructural evolution during sintering. Densification, dimensional changes and mechanical properties of the Al alloys were investigated. Microstructural analyses were performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) in order to determine the temperature and chemical composition of the phases formed during sintering. It was shown that various liquids and intermetallic phases including Al0·71Zn0·29 at 438°C,...

Abstract
Rare earth oxides with a trivalent nature play a pivotal role in reinforcing the magneto-optical attributes of spinel ferrite nanoparticles by replacing Fe3+ ions. In this study, rare earth Gd oxide doped with CoFe2O4 NPs with a composition of Co1+xGdxFe2-2xO4 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15) were synthesized using sol-gel auto-combustion. The outcome of Gd cations on the physical, magneto-optical and electrical characteristics of the cobalt ferrite NPs were reported. X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) investigations confirmed the single-phase cubic crystalline nature and metal ion stretching in the cobalt ferrite synthesized samples. Decreasing drift in the average...

Optimal utility-energy tradeoff in delay constrained random access networks

Abstract
Rate, energy and delay are three main parameters of interest in ad-hoc networks. In this paper, we discuss the problem of maximizing network utility and minimizing energy consumption while satisfying a given transmission delay constraint for each packet. We formulate this problem in the standard convex optimization form and subsequently discuss the tradeoff between utility, energy and delay in such framework. Also, in order to adapt for the distributed nature of the network, a distributed algorithm where nodes decide on choosing transmission rates and probabilities based on their local information is introduced. ©2009 IEEE
