Attributiveness of a mass flow analysis model for integrated water resources assessment under data-scarce conditions

A Stochastic Model for Water Resources Management

Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...

Managing Scarce Water Resources – China

The Economics of Managing Scarce Water Resources

Recent events, news articles in the popular press, and research outside the field of economics have raised alarming questions about the sufficiency of global freshwater supplies and the potentially devastating impacts of current and future water shortages. For example, the 2008 Beijing Olympics drew attention to the problems of pollution and water shortages in China, where massive infrastructur...

Efficiency Measurement of Clinical Units Using Integrated Independent Component Analysis-DEA Model under Fuzzy Conditions

Background and Objectives: Evaluating the performance of clinical units is critical for effective management of health settings. Certain assessment of clinical variables for performance analysis is not always possible, calling for use of uncertainty theory. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an integrated independent component analysis-fuzzy-data envelopment analysis approach to accurate ...
