“When, Where and How” of Efficiency Estimation: Improved procedures
The issues of functional form, distributions of the error components and endogeneity are for the most part still open in stochastic frontier models. The same is true when it comes to imposition of restrictions of monotonicity and curvature, making efficiency estimation an elusive goal. In this paper we attempt to consider these problems simultaneously and offer practical solutions to the proble...

متن کاملI-11: Cryopreservation and Utilization of Ovarian Tissue: When, Where and How?
In women, around 10% of cancers occur in those younger than 45 years old. Although aggressive chemotherapy/radiotherapy and bone marrow transplantation can cure more than 90% of girls and young women affected by disorders requiring such treatment, the ovaries are very sensitive to cytotoxic drugs, especially to alkylating agents. Therefore, these treatments can result in premature ovarian failu...
متن کامل[Noninvasive ventilation: when, how and where?].
Acute respiratory failure (ARF) of any origin is commonly seen in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). When clinical improvement of ARF is not achieved with the usual medical treatment, tracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) prove necessary--a situation which in turn implies a significant increase in morbidity--mortality. In the late 1990s, the need to avoid the complications of...
متن کاملSpeciation: Why, how, where and when?
Species are one of the few fundamental units in biology. Yet, study of how they form has had an erratic history. Despite the title of his book, Darwin gave the process of speciation little attention in the 'Origin of Species' — even though his earlier notebooks show that he thought deeply about many issues that are still current. (Darwin's apparent neglect of speciation may have been due to his...
