scott and szewczyk in technometrics, 2001, have introduced a similarity measure for twodensities f1 and f2 , by1, 21 21 1 2 2( , ), ,f fsim f ff f f f< >=< >< >wheref1, f2 f1(x, θ1)f2(x, θ2)dx.+∞−∞< >=∫sim(f1, f2) has some appropriate properties that can be suitable measures for the similarity of f1 and f2 .however, due to some restrictions on the value of parameters and the kind of densities, ...

this paper discusses different important gas permeation models such as “maxwell”, “bruggeman”, “lewis-neilson”, and “pal” models to predict “mixed matrix membranes” (mmms) performance. the main parameter considered and discussed is the permeability of hydrogen on carbon nanotubes (cnts)-mmm. for evaluation of the theoretical models, experimental data of permeability for h2 were compared to the ...

the solubility of kno3 in the mixed solvent (water 85%+methanol 15%) were determined by using solvent evaporating method at different temperatures (25, 30, 40, 50, 60 ;c). in addition the equilibrium constant of ion pair formation, kip, for k+no3 – ion-pair on the basis of fuoss contact ion pair model was calculated. upon choosing the extended debye-hückel model for estimating the mean activity...

performance of a supply chain highly depends on its suppliers and therefore, appropriate selection of them is of great importance. this paper presents an integrated model of an mcdm method and a mathematical programming in order to select suppliers and determine lot sizes in the supply chain. the proposed framework comprises two main sub-models; the qualitative sub-model seeks to evaluate the s...

Collection of waste is an important logistic activity within any city. In this study, a mathematical model is proposed in order to reduce the cost of waste collection. First a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model is provided including a waste collection routing problem, so that, there is a balance between the distance between trashcans, and the similarity of the trashcans in terms of th...
