window analysis is a known technique to evaluate performance during the time periods based on data envelopment analysis. in application of window analysis is assumed that efficient frontier have not changed during the periods in the study. unlike the window analysis, malmquist index tries to identify difference between efficient frontiers and separated them. but the means of different frontier ...

The known ore deposits and mineralization trends are important key exploration criteria in mineral exploration within a specific region. Fry analysis has conventionally been considered as a suitable method to determine the mineralization trends related to linear structures. Based upon literature sources, to date, no investigation has been carried out that includes the Sensitivity Analysis of Fe...

introduction: poor sensitivity and poor signal to noise ratio because of low injected thallium dose and presence of scattered photons are the main problems in using thallium in scintigraphic imaging of the heart. scattered photons are the main cause of degrading the contrast and resolution in spect imaging that result in error in quantification. thallium decay is very complicated and photons ar...

In this study, the window network data envelopment analysis (WNDEA) model will be proposed, that is capable to be used in the presence of panel data. Additionally, the proposed model is applied to evaluate the dynamic efficiency of 5 investment companies in Tehran stock exchange during the period from 2013 to 2017.

Daylight in classrooms is a critical factor in school design, in terms of its impact on students’ health, learning and visual performance. Providing adequate amount of evenly distributed daylight and glare prevention are important challenges in classroom design. Window configuration significantly affects the intensity and uniformity of daylight. This paper aims to investigate the effect o...

In this paper we present Document analysis and classification system to segment and classify contents of Arabic document images. This system includes preprocessing, document segmentation, feature extraction and document classification. A document image is enhanced in the preprocessing by removing noise, binarization, and detecting and correcting image skew. In document segmentation, an algorith...

todays, in many modern applications, we search for frequent and repeating patterns in the analyzed data sets. in this search, we look for patterns that frequently appear in data set and mark them as frequent patterns to enable users to make decisions based on these discoveries. most algorithms presented in the context of data stream mining and frequent pattern detection, work either on uncertai...

In this paper, a novel analytical method was developed based on statistical energy analysis framework to evaluate sound transmission loss through ventilated windows. The proposed method was compared to numerical and analytical models available in the literature. Results showed the success and advantage of the proposed model in predicting the acoustic performance of the ventilated window and the...
