We consider the issues of noise-to-signal estimation, finite sample performance and hypothesis testing for the nonparametric efficiency estimation technique proposed in Cherchye, L., T. Kuosmanen and G.T.Post (2001) 'Nonparametric efficiency estimation in stochastic environments', forthcoming in Operations Research. In addition, we apply the technique for analyzing European banks. 5001-6182 Bus...

In the movement of freight across the supply chain, terminals play an important role as points of transfer between different modes. The location of terminals is one of the most crucial success factors bearing directly and indirectly on the main stakeholders involved including policy makers, investors, terminal operators, freight operators, and the local community affected. There have been sever...

In this paper, a modeling technique for CMOS gates, based on the reduction of each gate to an equivalent inverter, is presented. The proposed method can be incorporated in existing timing simulators in order to improve their accuracy. The conducting and parasitic behavior of parallel and serially connected transistors is accurately analyzed and an equivalent transistor is extracted for each cas...

Sub-threshold is a new paradigm in the digital VLSI design today. In Sub-threshold region, transistors are operated in sub-threshold voltage. This paper examine the Carry Look Ahead (CLA) Adder with dual mode logic (DML)principle, in which gates are operated in sub-threshold regime and comparison of results with Conventional basic Carry look ahead adder . The number of gates in CLA is 5 includi...

The impact of gate oxide degradation of a single pMOSFET on the performance of the CMOS NOR logic circuit has been examined using a switch matrix technique. A constant voltage stress of -4.0V was used to induce a low level of degradation to the 2.0nm gate oxide of the pMOSFET. Characteristics of the CMOS NOR logic circuit following gate oxide degradation are analyzed in both the DC and V-t doma...
