Subjects often construct preferences during the elicitation process. This could have implications for the processes automated utility assessments use to find indifference points. In particular, if subjects frequently shift preferences during elicitation processes, then reversible and irreversible procedures might reach different results. We analyzed series of choices made by two groups of subje...

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), with their high power density, efficiency, and thermal stability, are widely used nowadays. PMSM magnets composed of rare earth elements. However, elements subject to severe price fluctuations because limited availability the monopoly some countries. Therefore, extensive research on devoid has been conducted recently. Although a irreversible demagnet...

in this paper, a new combined power and refrigeration cycle is proposed, which combines the rankin power cycle and the ejector refrigeration cycle. this combined cycle produces both power output and refrigeration output simultaneously. this cycle is driven by the flue gas of gas turbines, industrial waste heats, solar energy and geothermal energy. an exergy analysis is performed to guide the th...

an octahedral cobalt(iii) complex, trans-[(me2bpb)co(bzlan)2]clo4 (1), with h2me2bpb = n,n’-(4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylene)dipicolinamide and bzlan = benzylamine, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, ir, uv-vis, and 1h nmr spectroscopy. the structure of this complex has been determined by x-ray crystallography. the me2bpb2– is a di-anionic tetradentate ligand furnishing a ...

Consider the following coloring process in a simple directed graph G(V,E) with positive indegrees. Initially, a set S of vertices are white. Thereafter, a black vertex is colored white whenever the majority of its in-neighbors are white. The coloring process ends when no additional vertices can be colored white. If all vertices end up white, we call S an irreversible dynamic monopoly (or dynamo...

─ This paper describes some aspects about dynamical performance of irreversible systems on the control systems theory and shows how for irreversible processes, the uncertainty and disturbances turn controllability analysis for this kind of systems as a very difficult task. Finally, a similar analysis is done for batch processes, which are known as irreversible processes, showing that their prob...
