Culture and social relations play a significant role in the formation of the structure of vernacular housing of any region, especially in the Islamic countries where privacy has a considerable effect on the vernacular culture, and consequently, on the house’s structure. Among the house spaces, the kitchen is more affected than other spaces by such issues so that its relations pattern with other...

As a member of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), Iran has a long-term space exploration program. Space radiation is one of the challenges facing humans when they go outside Earth's protective atmosphere and magnetic field. Space is an environment that the cardinal principles of radiation protection i.e. time, distance and shielding cannot be effectively ...

Greedy score-based algorithms for learning the structure of Bayesian networks may produce very different models depending on the order in which variables are scored. These models often vary significantly in quality when applied to inference. Unfortunately, finding the optimal ordering of inputs entails search through the permutation space of variables. Furthermore, in real-world applications of...

State estimation is used in power systems to estimate grid variables based on meter measurements. Unfortunately, power grids are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Reducing cyber-attacks against state estimation is necessary to ensure power system safe and reliable operation. False data injection (FDI) is a type of cyber-attack that tampers with measurements. This paper proposes network reconfigurati...

In recent years, a variety of image encryption scheme has been proposed. A new color image encryption method based on dynamic key exchange is proposed in this paper. For real time image encryption and lesser amount of time. The algorithm lacks of the characteristic of diffusion because each pixel is operated individually and a chosen/known-plaintext attack can break the scheme. The 192-bit-long...
