متن کاملDifferential Characteristics of Efficient Frontiers in DEA with Weight Restrictions
The non-differentiability and implicit definition of boundary of production possibility set (PPS) in data envelopment analysis (DEA) are two important difficulties for obtaining directional characteristics, including different elasticity measures and marginal rates of substitution. Also, imposing weight restrictions in DEA models have some shortcomings and misunderstandings. In this paper we ut...
متن کاملGravitational wave astronomy - astronomy of the 21st century
An enigmatic prediction of Einstein’s general theory of relativity are gravitational waves. With the observed decay in the orbit of the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar agreeing within a fraction of a percent with the theoretically computed decay from Einstein’s theory the existence of gravitational waves was firmly established. Currently there is a worldwide effort to detect gravitational waves with...
