Copper Rich Composite Materials Based on Carboxylic Cation Exchangers and Their Thermal Transformation.

The effect of a cupric deposit (Cu, CuO) on the thermal decomposition of carboxylic cation exchangers (CCEs) is not known, and such studies may have practical significance. CCEs have a very high ion exchange capacity, so an exceptionally large amount of CuO (which is a catalyst) can be precipitated inside them. Two CCEs, macroreticular (Amberlite IRC50) and gel-like (Amberlite IRC86), served as a polymeric support to obtain copper-rich hybrid ion exchangers.

Relative Entropy in Determining Degressive Proportional Allocations.

The principle of degressively proportional apportionment of goods, being a compromise between equality and proportionality, facilitates the application of many different allocation rules. Agents with smaller entitlements are more interested in an allocation that is as close to equality as possible, while those with greater entitlements prefer an allocation as close to proportionality as possible. Using relative entropy to quantify the inequity of allocation, this paper indicates an allocation that neutralizes these two contradictory approaches by symmetrizing the inequities perceived by the smallest and largest agents participating in the apportionment.

Mechanism of Unusual Isosymmetric Order-Disorder Phase Transition in [Dimethylhydrazinium]Mn(HCOO) Hybrid Perovskite Probed by Vibrational Spectroscopy.

[DMHy]Mn(HCOO) (DMHy = dimethylhydrazinium cation) is an example of an organic-inorganic hybrid adopting perovskite-like architecture with the largest organic cation used so far in the synthesis of formate-based hybrids. This compound undergoes an unusual isosymmetric phase transition at 240 K on heating. The mechanism of this phase transition has a complex nature and is mainly driven by the ordering of DMHy cations and accompanied by a significant distortion of the metal-formate framework in the low temperature (LT) phase.

Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS as a Method for Assessing Socioeconomic Phenomena on the Basis of Survey Data.

In the assessment of most complex socioeconomic phenomena with the use of multicriteria methods, continuous data are used, the source of which are most often public statistics. However, there are complex phenomena such as quality of life and quality of services in the assessment, for which questionnaire surveys and ordinal measurement scales are used. In this case, the use of classic multicriteria methods is very difficult, taking into account the way of presenting this type of data by official statistics, as well as their permissible transformations and arithmetic operations.
