The metabolism of testosterone by GR mouse mammary tumors following serial transplantation was studied. Oophorectomized female recipients were maintained on estrone and progesterone (OEP) or without hormone maintenance (oophorectomized-only group) in order to assess whether the growth of the tumor was hormone dependent (HD) or hormone independent (HI). Tumors in the early generations of the OEP...

Purpose: The main goal of the study is to examine impact implementation Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and Time (TM) tools on organizational effectiveness performance (OEP). A literature review provides background for presenting results own research performed an e-commerce microenterprise. Design/Approach/Methodology: empirical involved a case with use participant observation met...

The optimized effective potential (OEP) method presents an unambiguous way to construct the Kohn–Sham corresponding a given diagrammatic approximation for exchange-correlation functional. OEP from random-phase (RPA) has played important role ever since conception of formalism. However, solution equation is computationally fairly expensive and be done in self-consistent way. So far, large scale ...

one of the major problems in data envelopment analysis (dea) is to determine the projection of inefficient decision making units (dmus) into the efficient frontier. in conventional dea models, inputs and outputs of inefficient dmus alter arbitrarily for reaching to the efficient frontier. nevertheless, sometimes the ability of dmus is defined and restricted. moreover, there are situations in th...

In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. A 85, 052508 (2012)], Gidopoulos and Lathiotakis discuss difficulties in solving the optimized effective potential (OEP) equation in a finite basis. We show that these difficulties are resolved by choosing basis sets that fulfill a balance condition. In particular, the nonanalyticity of the finite-basis OEP equation disappears in basis-set convergence. In connectio...

This informal report gives an update on our most recent activities on the DARPA PCES project. We summarize how we have realized to date the milestones established in our original PCES proposal (Section 2). We describe our initial efforts to recast our work in form that can be directly leveraged in the Boeing Boldstroke OEP and discuss how this initial effort has been received by the Boeing Bold...

The exact-exchange (EXX) potential, which is obtained by solving the optimized-effective potential (OEP) equation, is compared to various approximate semilocal exchange potentials for a set of selected solids (C, Si, BN, MgO, Cu2O, and NiO). This is done in the framework of the linearized augmented plane-wave method, which allows for a very accurate all-electron solution of electronic structure...

BACKGROUND exercise can reduce osteoporotic fracture risk by strengthening bone or reducing fall risk. Falls prevention exercise programmes can reduce fall incidence, and also include strengthening exercises suggested to load bone, but there is little information as to whether these programmes influence bone mineral density (BMD) and strength. OBJECTIVE to evaluate the skeletal effects of hom...

resource allocation and optimal leveling are among the top challenges in project management. this paper presents a dea-based procedure for determining an optimal level of inputs to produce a fixed level of outputs. to achieve this goal, we assume that the levels of outputs can be forecasted in the next season and the procedure will determine optimal level of inputs for all dmus. such as some of...
