The growing loss of soil functionality due to contamination by metal(loid)s, alone or in combination with organic pollutants, is a global environmental issue that entails major risks ecosystems and human health. Consequently, the management restructuring large metal(loid)-polluted areas through sustainable nature-based solutions currently priority research programs legislation worldwide. Over l...

Purpose: This paper explores the importance of Intellectual Capital (IC) in Indian Banking Industry and compares efficiency between Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) banks Private banks, by employing Value Added Coefficient (VAIC) method. Methodology/approach: Using Path Analysis, study verifies influence VAIC on profitability market value banks. simple averages graphs, PSU Banks are compared. Qu...

utilization of fossil fuel for supplying of requires energy of desalination systems is common. on the other hand, solar energy is one of the high-grade energies in the world that can be found specifically in hot weather places. therefore, utilization of solar energy for operation of desalination systems will reduce greenhouse gases and is a good alternative way. common exergy analysis method (s...

This research aims at presenting a consolidated model of data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique and value engineering to select the best manufacturing methods for gate valve covers and ranking the methods using TOPSIS.To do so, efficiency evaluation indices were selected based on the value engineering approach and different manufacturing methods were evaluated using DEA technique.Finally, ef...

We consider reversible work extraction from two finite reservoirs of perfect gases with given initial temperatures T+ and T−, when the final values of the temperatures are known but they can be assigned to specific reservoirs only probabilistically. Using inference, we characterize the reduced performance resulting from this uncertainty. The estimates for the efficiency reveal that uncertainty ...
