This paper evaluates and ranks the temporal dimensions, known as fourth dimension of urban design, of a number of places in a city by TOPSIS method. TOPSIS method is technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution. TOPSIS is one of the renowned methods for classical multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems that defines the positive ideal solution and negative ideal solution...

The aim of this paper is to introduce and study set- valued homomorphism on lattices and T-rough lattice with respect to a sublattice. This paper deals with T-rough set approach on the lattice theory. The result of this study contributes to, T-rough fuzzy set and approximation theory and proved in several papers. Keywords: approximation space; lattice; prime ideal; rough ideal; T-rough set; set...

The dynamic density functional (DDF) theory and standard Brownian dynamics simulations (BDS) are used to study the drifting effects of a colloidal particle in a polymer solution, both for ideal and interacting polymers. The structure of the stationary density distributions and the total induced current are analyzed for different drifting rates. We find good agreement with the BDS, which gives s...

We present an experimental and theoretical study of the breakthrough performance of the flexible metal-organic framework Cu(bpy)2(BF4)2 (bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine), termed ELM-11. Pure CO2, He, CH4, and N2 gases, as well as binary gas mixtures of those species, were used to perform breakthrough experiments on ELM-11. ELM-11 exhibits a stepped breakthrough curve for CO2 not seen in rigid adsorbents....

We present the RUPTURA code (https://github.com/iraspa/ruptura) as a free and open-source software package (MIT license) for (1) simulation of gas adsorption breakthrough curves, (2) mixture prediction using methods like Ideal Adsorption Solution Theory (IAST), segregated-IAST explicit isotherm models, (3) fitting models on computed or measured data. The combination with RASPA enables computati...

Binary systems consisting of 1,2-dichlorobenzene (12DCB) + competitor were investigated over a range of concentrations of competitor in three natural sorbents with distinct characteristics. Two models, the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) and the potential theory (Polanyi-based multisolute model), widely used in the prediction of multisolute sorption equilibrium from single-solute data, we...

Parameters from single-component isotherm models were used in multicomponent isotherm models to predict the aqueous phase sorption of trichloroethylene (TCE) in the presence of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in four zeolites, Tenax, and three natural solids. The Langmuir, the Polanyi-Dubinin, and the Freundlich or the Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm models were used to simulate single-component sorptio...

The ability of purified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to adsorb diclofenac and triclosan in aqueous solutions was examined by equilibrium, kinetic, and thermodynamic parameters. The results of SEM image, BET specific surface area, XRD, TGA, and FTIR spectra indicated that the characteristics of MWCNTs were improved after purification with nitric acid. Batch experiments illustrated that...
