sulfur mustard (sm) has been identified as an important chemical weapon. during the iran-iraq war of 1980-88, the extensive usage of sm against iranian civilians and military forces was proven. this agent has been shown to cause severe damage mainly in the skin, eyes, lungs,  and  respiratory  tract  in  iranian  veterans.  the  most  common  disease  is bronchiolitis obliterans (bo)). sm incre...

Super symmetry is a type of matrix-based symmetry that extends the concept of total symmetry. Super symmetric functions are “even more symmetric” than totally symmetric functions. Even if a function is not super symmetric, the super symmetric transpose matrices can be used to detect partial super symmetries. These partial symmetries can be mixed arbitrarily with ordinary symmetric variable pair...

Super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) model is obtained when a decision making unit (DMU) under evaluation is excluded from the reference set. Because of the possible infeasibility of super-efficiency DEA model, the use of super-efficiency DEA model has been restricted to the situations where constant returns to scale (CRS) are assumed. It is shown that one of the input-oriented and ...

Super-efficiency model in the presence of negative data is a relatively neglected issue in the DEA field. The existing super-efficiency models have some shortcomings in practice. In this paper, a novel VRS radial super-efficiency DEA model based on Directional Distance Function (DDF) is proposed to provide a complete ranking order of units (including efficient and inefficient ones). The propose...

Extending from the previous semantic privacy-preserving model, we propose a widescale super-peer data integration and protection architecture. Any user from a superpeer domain can contribute new data, schema, or even mappings for other super-peer domains to integrate the information. Each super-peer domain is essentially a mediatorbased data integration system, where an agent at the super-peer ...

Super-enhancers are large clusters of transcriptional enhancers that drive expression of genes that define cell identity. Improved understanding of the roles that super-enhancers play in biology would be afforded by knowing the constellation of factors that constitute these domains and by identifying super-enhancers across the spectrum of human cell types. We describe here the population of tra...
