decreasing irrigation via partial root zoon drying (prd) save water and decreased production expenses. for comparing common irrigation and prd on tomato cv. falcato an experiment was designed in massey university of new zealand. treatments were control (irrigation in a field capacity in each irrigation to whole root zoon) and prd (irrigation in a half of field capacity in each irrigation to one...

Capacity management in services to match supply and demand has a direct influence on the ability of the service delivery system to achieve service quality and resource productivity targets. The paper examines some of the propositions for influences of capacity management on quality and resource productivity and for managing capacity. In addition to the “Chase” and “Level” strategies for managin...

this study uses the data envelopment analysis (dea) to assess the progress/regression of decision-making units (dmus) having a two-stage structure‎. ‎the progress/regression of these dmu can be assessed in the first stage‎, ‎the second stage‎, ‎and the whole system‎. ‎in the first stage‎, ‎the progress/regression of bank branches in collecting resources and in the second stage their progress/re...

The circle-type or global Malmquist index, which is based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models, is an important index that is widely used for measuring the relative productivity change of decisionmaking units (DMUs) in multiple time periods. This index, similar to the standard approach of measuring the productivity change using the standard Malmquist index, breaks down into various compone...

The productivity change of a decision making unit (DMU) between two time periods can be evaluated by the Malmquist productivity index. In this study, we propose a method to compute the Malmquist productivity index in several time periods (from the first to the last periods) on interval data in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Then, the obtained Malmquist productivity index is compared with Malm...
