This study presents an evaluation of the relative efficiency of sixteen container ports in Sub-Sahara Africa using three DEA models namely CCR, BCC and Super-Efficiency over the year 2012. The CCR and BCC models are used to estimate the technical and scale efficiency while the super-efficiency technique provides a ranking of efficient ports. The efficiency results indicate that on average the i...

OBJECTIVE To know the reasons to participate or not in a colorectal cancer (CCR) screening programme and to analyze the differences by sex, age and social class. METHODS Cross-sectional study by a telephone survey directed to a sample of men and women aged between 50-74 year old,participants (n = 383) and non participants (n = 383) in the CCR screening programme of Valencian Community. Descri...

By using the DEA method, paper measures market efficiency of banks in Bosnia and Herzegovina period 2017-2020, context challenges caused by COVID-19. The aims research are: a) to measure rank them method (applying three models CCR-O, BCC-O, Window-I-C), b) establish effect COVID-19 pandemic on observed banks, c) established link between volume digital banking services usage banks. results show ...

This paper examines inability of CCR and BCC models in improving DMU’s scale efficiency when a production possibility frontier is assumed as variable returns to scale. This paper also finds that DEA result can be more efficient than the Pareto-efficiency when a DMU is feasibly projected to be both technically and scale efficient. This feasible projection can only be achieved by a VRS DEA model ...

Chip multiprocessing (CMP) and simultaneous multithreading (SMT) are two recently adopted techniques for improving the throughput of general-purpose processors by using multithreading. These techniques are likely to benefit the increasingly important real-time multimedia workloads, which are inherently multithreaded. These workloads, however, often run in an energy constrained environment. This...

Can creatinine clearance in children clear the indexing GFR with BSA from the charge of errors? We read with interest the article of Delanaye and colleagues stating that indexing glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with body surface area (BSA) required mathematical prerequisites to be satisfied, even though many studies reported they were not [1]. Although not the gold standard to measure GFR, cre...
