every country actively and initiatively takes all kinds of policy steps to improve the international competitiveness of its industries and therefore improve national integrated competitiveness for the purpose of gaining economic benefits under the context of economic globalization. therefore, studies of moreover, projects launched by the cluster had to be endorsed by the growers and one criteri...

in data envelopment analysis, the relative efficiency of a decision making unit (dmu) is defined as the ratio of the sum of its weighted outputs to the sum of its weighted inputs allowing the dmus to freely allocate weights to their inputs/outputs. however, this measure may not reflect a the true efficiency of a dmu because some of its inputs/outputs may not contribute reasonably in computing t...

We observe experimentally the self-phase modulation of a surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) propagating along a gold film bounded by air in a Kretschmann-Raether configuration. Through analyzing the power dependence of the reflectance curve as a function of the incidence angle, we characterize the complex-valued nonlinear propagation coefficient of the SPP. Moreover, we present a procedure that ca...

Sinc-Galerkin method based upon double exponential transformation for solving Troesch's problem was given in this study. Properties of the Sinc-Galerkin approach were utilized to reduce the solution of nonlinear two-point boundary value problem to same nonlinear algebraic equations, also, the matrix form of the nonlinear algebraic equations was obtained.The error bound of the method was found. ...

In this paper, a Chebyshev finite difference method has been proposed in order to solve nonlinear two-point boundary value problems for second order nonlinear differential equations. A problem arising from chemical reactor theory is then considered. The approach consists of reducing the problem to a set of algebraic equations. This method can be regarded as a non-uniform finite difference schem...
