چکیده

This paper develops a necessary and sucient condition for the presence of (input) congestion. Relationships between the two congestion methods presently available are discussed. The equivalence between FaÈ re et al. [12,13] and Brockett et al. [2] hold only when the law of variable proportions is applicable. It is shown that the work of Brockett et al. [2] improves upon the work of FaÈ re et al. [12,13] in that it not only (1) detects congestion but also (2) determines the amount of congestion and, simultaneously, (3) identi®es factors responsible for congestion and distinguishes congestion amounts from other components of ineciency. These amounts are all obtainable from non-zero slacks in a slightly altered version of the additive model Ð which we here further extend and modify to obtain additional details. We also generate a new measure of congestion to provide the basis for a new uni®ed approach to this and other topics in data envelopment analysis (DEA). # 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

We have studied the effect of the magnetic field on the indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells in GaAs at magnetic fields up to 25 T. An unexpectedly large red shift of the indirect exciton line occurs at relatively low magnetic field. This shift depends strongly on the electric field applied parallel to the growth direction. q 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A general theoretical approach to double photoemission from solid surfaces is formulated in terms of two-electron Green functions and two-electron states. By incorporating the screened Coulomb interaction between the two outgoing electrons in a dynamically screened effective one-electron potential, approximate expressions for the two-photoelectron current are derived, which essentially consist ...

We have produced phototransformed C60 in powder form and in bulk quantities. The availability of several milligram batches allowed us to collect good quality X-ray powder diffractograms, infrared transmission spectra and differential scanning thermograms. Based on these data a disordered structural model is proposed which is built up from small closed oligomers. q 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All...
