a characteristic of data envelopment analysis (dea) is to allow individual decision making units (dmus) to select the factor weights which are the most advantageous for them in calculating their efficiency scores. this flexibility in selecting the weights, on the other hand, deters the comparison among dmus on a common base. for dealing with this difficulty and assessing all the dmus on the sam...

introduction infertility as the bitterest life experience can affect sexual function. infertility is a reproductive health problem and many studies have showed agitation, stress, depression, marital and sexual dissatisfaction as the psychological outcomes of infertility. this study aimed to compare sexual satisfaction in fertile and infertile women referring to peymanieh hospital in jahrom, 201...

the objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of long-term low-dose administration of lead (pb) on thyroid function in sheep. in this experiment 10 healthy iranian male sheep, aged about oneyear- old were randomly allocated into two equal groups of control (n = 5) and experiment (n = 5). both groups were kept under the same conditions of food and environment. the treatment group ...

let (m,g ) be a compact immersed hypersurface of (rn+1,) , λ1 the first nonzeroeigenvalue, α the mean curvature, ρ the support function, a the shape operator, vol (m ) the volume of m,and s the scalar curvature of m. in this paper, we established some eigenvalue inequalities and proved theabove.1) 1 2 2 2 2m ma dv dvn∫ ρ ≥ ∫ α ρ ,2)( )2 2 1 2m 1 mdv s dvn nα ρ ≥ ρ∫ − ∫ ,3) if the scalar curvatu...

the fisher information matrix for a mixture of two pareto distributions is derived. numericaltabulations of the matrix are also provided for practical purposes. the work is motivated by a real-lifeexample.

fuzzy linear programming problem occur in many elds such as mathematical modeling, control theory and management sciences, etc. in this paper we focus on a kind of linear programming with fuzzy numbers and variables namely fully fuzzy linear programming (fflp) problem, in which the constraints are in inequality forms. then a new method is proposed to ne the fuzzy solution for solving (fflp). ...

For n ≥ 3 distinct points in the d-dimensional unit sphere S ⊂ R , there exists a Möbius transformation such that the barycenter of the transformed points is the origin. This Möbius transformation is unique up to post-composition by a rotation. We prove this lemma and apply it to prove the uniqueness part of a representation theorem for 3-dimensional polytopes as claimed by Ziegler (1995): For ...
