Using expert assessments 386 senior and middle managers 27 enterprises Kharkiv region main components' method, components qualitative parameters synergetic result from have been determined. An ...

The present study is an attempt toward evaluating the performance of portfolios and asset selectionusing cross-efficiency evaluation. Cross-efficiency evaluation is an effective way of ranking decisionmaking units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Conventional DEA models assume nonnegativevalues for inputs and outputs. However, we know that unlike return and skewness, varianceis the on...

Although most people believe that planners that delay step-ordering decisions as long as possible are more e cient than those that manipulate totally ordered sequences of actions, this intuition has received little formal justi cation or empirical validation. In this paper we do both, characterizing the types of domains that o er performance di erentiation and the features that distinguish the ...

We propose a technique based on human-performance models to evaluate the efficiency of shared workspaces, where individual and collaborative actions are intertwined. We apply the technique to an illustrative case and report that it: 1) facilitates the fine-grained analysis of workspace collaboration; 2) provides time predictions about collaborative actions; and 3) enables quantitative compariso...

Motile cilia are used by many eukaryotic cells to transport flow. Cilia-driven flows are important to many physiological functions, yet a deep understanding of the interplay between the mechanical structure of cilia and their physiological functions in healthy and diseased conditions remains elusive. To develop such an understanding, one needs a quantitative framework to assess cilia performanc...

Each organization should make progress to remain competent in its business. Enterprise Modeling (EM) helps in understanding the current and planning the future states, followed by proposing improvement actions in an enterprise. To receive support from EM, we should start a process of using an Enterprise Modeling Method (EMM), that likewise any other process needs using resources. As resources a...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is one of non-parametric methods for evaluating efficiency of each unit. Limited resources in healthcare economy is the main reason in measuring efficiency of hospitals. In this study, a bootstrap interval data envelopment analysis (BIRDEA) is proposed for measuring the efficiency of hospitals affiliated with the Hamedan University of Medical Sciences. The propos...

For an owner or operator of a building, benchmarking can be a useful guide for finding out how energy efficient the building is and identifying what to improve. For successful evaluation of the building energy efficiency, the categorization as well as the parameter identification has decisive importance. That selection can be based on mathematical modeling such as linear regression accompanied ...
