Original data envelopment analysis models treat decision-making units as independent entities. This feature of data envelopment analysis results in significant diversity in input and output weights, which is irrelevant and problematic from the managerial point of view. In this regard, several methodologies have been developed to measure the efficiency scores based on common weights. Specificall...

This paper describes the realization of a corpus-based Chinese speech synthesis system, including the corpus design and unit selection procedure. The system selects the synthesis unit according to context similarity between target unit and candidate unit. Neither prosody parameter prediction nor prosody feature modification is needed. The informal test shows that the synthesized speech is quite...

The features of bad flow unit continuity and multiple layers emphesize the importance of a well pattern design for the development of a fluvial-delta reservoir. It is proposed a method to predict well pattern connectivity (WPC) based on the exploration and evaluation of wells. Moreover, the method helps evaluate the risk of well placement. This study initially establishes the parameters for cha...

<span lang="EN-US">The exponentially increasing bioinformatics data raised a new problem: the computation time length. The amount of that needs to be processed is not matched by an increase in hardware performance, so it burdens researchers on time, especially drug-target interaction prediction, where computational complexity exponential. One focuses high-performance computing research ut...
