Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming method for calculatingefficiency of decision making units (DMU). In calculating the efficiency score of unitsthrough DEA we may come up with some efficient units. But the question is among theseefficient units which of them is better. As we know, it is possible to rank inefficient unitsthrough efficiency score; however, for ranking e...

for more than three decades, oxidative coupling of methane (ocm) process has been comprehensively investigated as an attractive alternative for the commercially available ethylene production technologies such as ethane and naphtha cracking. developing a suitable catalyst and proper reactor feeding policy, reviewing and deploying the efficient methods in the separation and purification of the un...

Although discriminating between all efficient decision making units (DMUs) with identical efficiency is a very important subject in data envelopment analysis (DEA), it may not be an easy task, particularly when the decision maker wants to select one and only one efficient DMU among all. There are some papers that have proposed methods for finding an efficient DMU as the most efficient one but h...

The core objective of the project ALTER-MOTIVE is to derive effective least-cost policy strategies to achieve a significant increase in innovative alternative fuels (AF) and corresponding alternative more efficient automotive technologies (AAMT) to head towards a sustainable transport system. The last step towards the achievement of this target in this project is to derive an action plan consis...

In this paper, an environmentally benign access to synthesize Bis(pyrazol-5-ol) derivatives was developed through the one pot pseudo five component condensation reaction of phenyl hydrazine with ethyl acetoacetate, and different aryl/heteroaryl aldehydes using morpholinium glycolate as the homogeneous reusable catalyst under solvent-free conditions at 80 °C. Further, the ionic liquid was prepar...

The reconciliation of economy and environment is a key factor in achieving sustainability.The European Union wishes to achieve the sustainability of its agriculture in order to producehigh quality food materials and to manage energy crisis and the risks related to climate andmarket fluctuations. These risks can be mitigated by reducing negative impacts of agriculturalactivities on the environme...

The highly substituted pyridine derivatives are found to exhibit diverse pharmacological activities. They are also emerged as potential medicinal leads in developing therapeutic agents for the treatment of various diseases. In this work, a series of 2-amino-3,5-dicarbonitrile-6-thio-pyridine derivatives have been synthesized at room temperature via one-pot, multi-component reaction of various a...

the acupuncture is a safe medical treatment method. regarding to an absence of adverse effects, this method is considered as the best interventions in smoke cession and relieving the threatening pains. churchill mentioned that most people watched some tv movies related to using of acupuncture in anesthetizing the surgical patients some people experienced acupuncture by themselves or relatives. ...

This study targets the behavior of shear buildings equipped with tuned liquid column dampers (TLCD) which attenuate dynamic load-induced vibrations. TLCDs are a passive damping system used in tall buildings. This kind of damper has proven to be very efficient, being an excellent alternative to mass dampers. A dynamic analysis of the structure-damper system was made using the software DynaPy, de...
