چکیده
This study divides a production system into three components: production design, demand support, and operations. Efficiency is then decomposed via network data envelopment analysis and integrated into the Malmquist Productivity Index framework to develop a more detailed decomposition of productivity change. The proposed model can identify the demand effect and the identity of the root cause of technical regress. Specifically, the demand effect allows the source of technical regress to be attributed to both demand deterioration and technical regress in the production technology. An empirical study using data from 1995 to 2000 for the semiconductor manufacturing industry is presented to demonstrate and validate the proposed method. The result shows that the regress of productivity in 1997–1998 and 1999–2000 is mainly caused by demand fluctuations rather than by technical regression in production capabilities.

This paper provides an in-depth analysis and comparison of the arithmetic coding stages in the latest compression standards: JPEG 2000 and H.264/AVC for image and video systems, respectively. An impact of algorithm differences on hardware architecture is considered. Evaluation results show throughput requirements that real-time multimedia applications have to satisfy.
متن کاملPotent in vitro antimalarial activity of metacycloprodigiosin isolated from Streptomyces spectabilis BCC 4785.
Bioassay-guided fractionation of the extract from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces spectabilis BCC 4785 led to the isolation of three principle antimalarial agents, metacycloprodigiosin, bafilomycin A(1), and spectinabilin. Metacycloprodigiosin exhibited potent in vitro activity against Plasmodium falciparum K1, with a 50% inhibitory concentration of 0.0050 +/- 0.0010 microg/ml, while its...

Currently, the success of data services used through digital mobile phone networks is very limited. Different reasons can be identified for this: At first, the costs for data connections through these wireless networks are extremely high. Secondly, the user handling of the physically constrained handheld terminals appears as very uncomfortable. Here, a concept for customer-centred information s...
