In models of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), an optimal set of input and output weights is generally as-sumed to represent the assessed Decision Making Unit (DMU) in the best light in comparison to all the other DMUs. These sets of weights are, typically, different for each of the participating DMUs. Thus, it is important to find a Common Set of Weights (CSW) across the set of DMUs. In this pa...

The distribution of OGC Web Catalogues (CSW) across professional communities, the expert profile of the catalogue user and also the low coverage of OGCWeb Services (OWS) in standard search engines reduce the possibility of discovery and sharing geographic information. This paper presents an approach to simple spatio-temporal search of OWS retrieved from the web by a specialized crawler. The Dig...

The TMT Software System consists of software components that interact with one another through a software infrastructure called TMT Common Software (CSW). CSW consists of software services and library code that is used by developers to create the subsystems and components that participate in the software system. CSW also defines the types of components that can be constructed and their roles. T...

OBJECTIVES Accurate mu maps are important for quantitative image reconstruction in SPECT. The Compton scatter energy window (CSW) technique has been proposed to define the outline of objects. In this technique, a lower energy window image is acquired in addition to the main photo-peak energy window. The image of the lower energy window is used to estimate the edge of the scanned object to produ...

Electrolyte-oxide-semiconductor (EOS) capacitors were fabricated to elucidate; (a) the dynamics of the ionic double layer under field-effect modulation, (b) the effect of electrolyte composition on the zero-field voltage, and (c) the role of insulator surface groups on the differential capacitance of the fluidic double layer. Surface groups, owing to their amphoteric nature, are known to regula...

Cerebral salt wasting (CSW) syndrome is an important cause of hyponatremia in head injuries apart from syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Proper diagnosis and differentiation between these two entities are necessary for management as the treatment is quite opposite in both conditions. Fludrocortisone can help in managing CSW where alone saline infusion does not work. We rep...

This paper presents exible support for asynchronous sharing (later-time use) of computer-supported workspaces (CSWs), or simply replayable workspaces. Through the interactive replay of a previously recorded CSW session, it is possible to reuse valuable collaborative information. The session is represented through heterogeneous media streams each containing state and inputs to a CSW tool. We pre...

An important outcome of assessing relative efficiencies within a group of decision making units (DMUs) in fuzzy data envelopment analysis is a set of virtual multipliers or weights accorded to each (input or output) factor taken into account. These sets of weights are, typically, different for each of the participating DMUs, and in some cases it may be considered unacceptable that the same fact...

with cSW determined nonperturbatively by the Alpha collaboration. (For details see [1,2] and references thereof.) Our runs consist of 104 quenched configurations, at β = 6.2 and volume 24 × 48. We consider 7 values of the hopping parameter κ, and all their nondegenerate flavor combinations. We run at the improved value cSW = 1.61375065 and also, for comparison, at cSW = 0. We have considered po...
