A behavioral dataset contains various preference orderings displayed by the same individual in different payoff-irrelevant circumstances. We introduce a framework for eliciting the individual’s underlying preferences in such cases, in which it is conjectured that the variation in the observed preference orderings is the outcome of some cognitive process that distorts the underlying preferences....

The working fluids are crucial for developing the absorption refrigeration system. Our previous work has proposed three novel pairs, which uses low-GWP HFCs (R32, R152a and R161) as refrigerants polyethylene-glycol dimethylether solvent DMETEG absorbent. To explore VLE behaviors of in other longer chain structures solvents, modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) model was applied prediction. binary paramet...
