The role of black holes in galaxy formation and evolution (2009)
Cattaneo, A., Faber, S. M., Binney, J., Dekel, A., Kormendy, J., Mushotzky, R., ...
Virtually all massive galaxies, including our own, host central black holes ranging in mass from millions to billions of solar masses. The growth of these black holes releases vast amounts of energy...
The Evolution of Galaxy Clusters Across Cosmic Time (2009)
Arnaud, M., Bohringer, H., Jones, C., McNamara, B., Ohashi, T., Patnaude, D., ...
The large scale structure of the present Universe is determined by the growth of dark matter density fluctuations and by the dynamical action of dark energy and dark matter. While much progress has...
A. Mahdavi, P. Mathew, K. P. Lam
Computational modeling of building performance can generate extensive amounts of data. For this data to be useful, it must effectively interface with the informational requirements and procedural...
Optical spectroscopy of type Ia supernovae (2008)
Matheson, T., Kirshner, R. P., Challis, P., Jha, S., Garnavich, P. M., Berlind, P., ...
We present 432 low-dispersion optical spectra of 32 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that also have well-calibrated light curves. The coverage ranges from 6 epochs to 36 epochs of spectroscopy. Most of...

Resurrecting the Red from the Dead: Optical Properties of BCGs in X-ray Luminous Clusters (2008)
Bildfell, C., Hoekstra, H., Babul, A., Mahdavi, A.
We present measurements of surface brightness and colour profiles for the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in a sample of 48 X-ray luminous galaxy clusters. These data were obtained as part of the...

Chapter 4: Power and particle control (2007)
Loarte, A., Lipschultz, B., Kukushkin, A. S., Matthews, G. F., Stangeby, P. C., Asakura, N., ...
Progress, since the ITER Physics Basis publication (ITER Physics Basis Editors et al 1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2137-2664), in understanding the processes that will determine the properties of the plasma...
S.A. Hosseini, H. Lotfollahian, A. Kamyab, A. Mahdavi
A trail was conducted to investigate the effect of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae SC47) utilization on the commercial layer hen`s performance. The experiment consisted of 5 diets (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75...
The NGC 5846 Group: Dynamics and the Luminosity Function to M_R=-12 (2005)
Mahdavi, A., Trentham, N., Tully, R. B.
We conduct a photometric and spectroscopic survey of a 10 sq. deg. region surrounding the nearby NGC 5846 group of galaxies, using the Canada-France-Hawaii and Keck I telescopes to study the...
Asakura, N., Loarte, A., Porter, G., Philipps, V., Lipschultz, B., Kallenbach, A., ...
Three important physics issues for the ITER divertor design and operation are summarized based on the experimental and numerical work from multi-machine database (JET, JT-60U, ASDEX Upgrade, DIII-D,...
Overview of JET results (2003)
Pamela, J., Solano, E. R., Adams, J. M., Agarici, G., Agarici, M., Akhter, H., ...
Scientific and technical activities on JET focus on the issues likely to affect the ITER design and operation. Our understanding of the ITER reference mode of operation, the ELMy H-mode, has...
Differential GMSK Receivers with Phase Control for Narrowband Radio Communications (1998)
A. Mahdavi, D. Gordon, N. Riley
An implementation method for differential Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying receivers with Phase Control is presented. It is shown that in such receivers the effect' of InterSymbol Interference (ISI) on...
On implementing a computational facade design support tool
As an alternative to conventional monodirectional simulation tools, we introduce a preference-based performance-driven tool to generate computationally single-room designs based on requirements of...
