this paper applied a non-parametric (data envelopment analysis) method to analyze the efficiency of farmers, discriminate efficient farmers from inefficient ones and to identify wasteful uses of energy in order to optimize the energy inputs for greenhouse cucumber production in lorestan province of iran. data were collected from 27 cucumber producers by using a face-to-face questionnaire.dea cr...

Transient faults in VLSI circuits could lead to disastrous consequences. With technology scaling, circuits are becoming increasingly vulnerable to transient faults. This papers presents an accurate and efficient method to estimate fault-sensitivity of VLSI circuits. Using a binary counter and an RC5 encryption implementation as examples, this paper shows that by performing a limited amount of r...

We propose an adaptive scheme of broadening the discrete spectral data from numerical renormalization group (NRG) calculations to improve the resolution of dynamical properties at finite energies. While the conventional scheme overbroadens narrow features at large frequency by broadening discrete weights with constant width in log-frequency, our scheme broadens each discrete contribution indivi...
