This paper presents the concept of efficiency mapping for large synchronous hydrogenerators, which are useful evaluating hydropower generation performance vis-à-vis interconnected intermittent to machine efficiency-oriented design. Tests loss segregation at rated conditions needed, and models v...

This paper explores the efficiency of UK specialist and composite insurers transacting general insurance business. The concept of efficiency concerns an insurer’s ability to produce a given set of outputs (such as premiums and investment income) via the use of inputs such as administrative and sales staff and financial capital. An insurer is said to be technically efficient if it cannot reduce ...

sugar beet as an industrial crop plays a main role in satisfying domestic demand of sugar. study on the production efficiency of sugar beet is important because this is a factor that influences production without additional cost. in this study, data envelopment analysis approach (dea), was implemented to calculate technical, administrative and scale efficiency of sugar beet production. also opt...

Analyzing the effect of crosstalk on delay is critical for high performance circuits. The major bottleneck in performing crosstalkinduced delay analysis is the high computational cost of simulating the coupled interconnect and the nonlinear drivers. In this work, we propose an efficient iterative algorithm that avoids time-consuming nonlinear driver simulations and performs node-specific crosst...

hospitals as the centers that consume the most resource of health system, based on their function have difference performance and efficiency. the purpose of this study was to assess the efficiency of ahvaz hospitals using data envelopment analysis (dea) method. this study is a descriptive-analytic study that assessed the efficiency of teaching and nonteaching hospitals in ahvaz using dea in 200...

This paper describes the design, implementation and characterization of a high efficiency 10-GHz amplifier antenna array for spatial power combining. An average drain efficiency of 70% at 162 W EIRP, or about 1.5 W of transmitted power, is measured for an array of 16 amplifiers consisting of four 4-element subarays. The power combining efficiency of the 16-element array is above 79%. The active...
