One of the difficulties of Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) is the problem of deciency discriminationamong efficient Decision Making Units(DMUs) and hence, yielding large number of DMUs as efficientones. The main purpose of this paper is to overcome this inability. One of the methods for rankingefficient DMUs is minimizing the Coefficient of Variation (CV) for inputs-outputs weights. In this pape...

The paper presents the results of a series of experiments conducted on physical models of Quarter-circle breakwater (QBW) in a two dimensional monochromatic wave flume. The purpose of the experiments was to evaluate the reflection coefficient Kr of QBW models of different radii (R) for different submergence ratios (d/hc), where d is the depth of water and hc is the height of the breakwater cres...
