bootstrapping the dea is one of the current methods of measuring robust efficiency by constructing a confidence interval and measuring the noise (bias) in production. in this study, two estimators: the conventional data envelopment analysis (dea) and bootstrap simulation with 2,000 bootstrap iterations were applied on a cross sectional data of 296 broiler farms in peninsular malaysia. the objec...

White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, can be a serious disease of crops grown under cool, moist environments. In many plants, such as soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], complete genetic resistance does not exist. To identify possible genes involved in defense against this pathogen, and to determine possible physiological changes that occur during infection, a microarray ...

Predictive maintenance strategies are becoming increasingly more important with the increased needs for automation and digitalization within pulp paper manufacturing sector.Hence, this study contributes to examine most efficient pre-processing approaches predicting sensory data trends based on Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural networks. To validate model, from two presses several methods utiliz...

Many robust control problems can be formulated in abstract form as convex feasibility programs, where one seeks a solution x that satisfies a set of inequalities of the form F . = {f (x, ) 0, ∈ D}. This set typically contains an infinite and uncountable number of inequalities, and it has been proved that the related robust feasibility problem is numerically hard to solve in general. In this pap...

the central alborz mountains of northern iran (figure 1) is a zone of intense active continental deformation and is the most heavily populated region of iran, including the mega-city of tehran with a population of over 10 million. the region is affected by numerous active faults, some of them having great seismic potential, and documented historical seismicity. hence, the central alborz is a pr...

BACKGROUND Discharge destination after critical illness is increasingly recognized as a valuable patient-centered outcome. Recently, vitamin D status has been shown to be associated with important outcomes such as length of stay (LOS) and mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Our goal was to investigate whether vitamin D status on ICU admission is associated with discharge destinatio...

آگاهی از میزان تاج‌پوشش درختان در مناطق شهری به‌علت تأثیرات آن کاهش آلودگی‌‌های هوا، آلودگی صوتی، جلوگیری باد، ذخیرة نزولات آسمانی، و کنترل رواناب‌های بسیار ضروری است. ازآن‌جا‌که استخراج با روش‌های دستی وقت‌گیر پرهزینه است، تکنیک‌های سنجش دور می‌توانند ابزار مناسبی برای تأمین این داده‌ها باشند. طبقه‌بندی شیء‌پایه، انتخاب پارامترهای بهینة قطعه‌بندی، به‌ویژه پارامتر مقیاس، اهمیت بسیاری دارد معمول...
