We provide a dual perspective on technical efficiency evaluation, in two respects. First, we build on the price assumptions implicitly associated with the notion of technical efficiency in a general equilibrium framework to characterize a set of appropriate references to be used in the technical efficiency evaluation of an inputoutput vector. Some existing evaluation methods always select an el...

In this paper, the efficiency of the performance of some independent units of police organization was evaluated to optimize the total used inputs and the total produced outputs of each unit. For this purpose, with regard to the efficiency and inefficiency of each unit, based on the location of the units to one another, and also due to the limitations on number and the way of transferring the fo...

introduction one of the animal breeding aims is increasing the economic efficiency. therefore, mating among selected animals in order to enhance economic efficiency should also supply variation in population for next generations’ selection. this study was performed to estimate performance in cross breed lambs resulting from crosses of shal, moghani, afshari and varamini rams with varamini ewes,...

PURPOSE The purpose of this research was to established new polysaccharide for the colon targeted drug delivery system, its formulation and in vitro and in vivo evaluation. METHODS Microspheres containing pectin and bora rice were prepared by ionotropic gelation technique using zinc acetate as cross linking agent and model drug used was glipizide. A 3(2) full factorial design was employed to ...

introduction: emotional intelligence is a key element that determines the achievement and efficiency of a person so that 80% of the achievement is dependent on it. the current research was carried out to determine the correlation between emotional intelligence and evaluation score of the faculty members of kermanshah university of medical sciences (kums) in 2014.   methods: in this analytical-d...

In this research, efficiency of Iranian forest and rangeland decision making unit was assessed using non-parametric method. Inputs and outputs determined by field research and with applying a Delphi method the final input and output variables selected. Forty five wood-producing units (forestry plans) in three northern Iranian province were studied using Data Envelopment Analysis. The efficiency...
