Rawlsian ideal theory is meant to perform various roles in non-ideal theory. In this paper, I distinguish between three roles, and consider the extent which we can expect them. It serve as a target guide theorising long-term. also supposed provide way of comparing different injustices tell us worst therefore most urgent need remedy. Finally, basis for model fairness that restricts set morally p...

The influence of substrate roughness on the wetting scenario of adsorbed van der Waals films is investigated by theory and experiment. Calculating the bending free energy penalty of a solid sheet picking up the substrate roughness, we show that a finite roughness always leads to triple-point wetting reducing the widths of the adsorbed solid films considerably as compared to that of smooth subst...

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...

Described here is a semiquantitative theoretical treatment of the kinetics of outer sphere electrochemical reactions. The framework presented here, which is based on simple physical arguments, predicts heterogeneous rate constants consistent with previous experimental observations (k0 > 10 cm/s). This theory is applied to the analysis of voltammetry experiments involving ultramicroelectrodes mo...

This paper proposes a compromise model, based on the technique for order preference through similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) methodology, to solve the multi-objective large-scale linear programming (MOLSLP) problems with block angular structure involving fuzzy parameters. The problem involves fuzzy parameters in the objective functions and constraints. This compromise programming method is ba...

This paper focuses on multi-objective large-scale non-linear programming (MOLSNLP) problems with block angular structure. We extend the technique for order preference by similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) to solve them. Compromise (TOPSIS) control minimizes the measure of distance, provided that the closest solution should have the shortest distance from the positive ideal solution (PIS) as wel...

To better understand the influence of environmental conditions on the adsorption of extracellular chromosomal DNA and its availability for natural transformation, the amount and conformation of adsorbed DNA were monitored under different conditions in parallel with transformation assays using the soil bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii. DNA adsorption was monitored using the technique of quartz c...

A theory is presented which allows us to quantitatively calculate the excess surface tension of acid solutions. The H, in the form of hydronium ion, is found to be strongly adsorbed to the solution-air interface. To account for the electrostatic potential difference measured experimentally, it is necessary to assume that the hydronium ion is oriented with its hydrogens pointing into the bulk wa...
