We map polygonally patterned ground formed in sublimation tills that overlie debris-covered glaciers in Mullins Valley and central Beacon Valley, in southern Victoria Land, Antarctica, and distinguish five morphological zones. Where the Mullins Valley debris-covered glacier debouches into Beacon Valley, polygonal patterning transitions from radial (orthogonal) intersections to non-oriented (hex...

Regulation of ciliary and flagellar motility requires spatial control of dynein-driven microtubule sliding. However, the mechanism for regulating the location and symmetry of dynein activity is not understood. One hypothesis is that the asymmetrically organized central apparatus, through interactions with the radial spokes, transmits a signal to regulate dynein-driven microtubule sliding betwee...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has two fundamental approaches for assessing theefficiency with different characteristics; radial and non-radial models. This paper isconcerned the non-radial model of Russell which is a non linear model. Conventional DEAfor a large dataset with many inputs/outputs would require huge computer resources in termsof memory and CPU time. Artificial Neural Network (AN...

In productivity and efficiency analysis, the technical efficiency of a production unit is measured through its distance to the efficient frontier of the production set. The most familiar non-parametric methods use Farrell-Debreu, Shephard, or hyperbolic radial measures. These approaches require that inputs and outputs be non-negative, which can be problematic when using financial data. Recently...

Purpose Cement as one of the major components construction activities, releases a tremendous amount carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into atmosphere, resulting in adverse environmental impacts and high energy consumption. Increasing demand for CO consumption has urged companies decision-makers to consider ecological efficiency affected by Therefore, this paper aims develop method capable analyzing assess...

The paper proposes a method to measure poloidal rotation velocity of toroidal plasma vpol using Heavy Ion Beam Probe (HIBP) with a multi-slit energy analyzer. The method is based on calculation of phase shift between broadband density turbulence measured simultaneously in two sample volumes, located at the same magnetic surface but separated poloidally. Oscillatory component of HIBP beam curren...
