in this paper it has been tried to present a model by usingsome changes in the classical dea models and combining these modelswith fuzzy models to eliminate these weaknesses. inputs and outputs arerecognized by using mcdm and ahp techniques and experts views. inthe next step, the gathered data is compounded by fuzzy techniques andentered in the special dea model after changing to the crisp amou...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method to evaluate the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs). In this method, the issue has always been to determine a set of weights for each DMU which often caused many problems. Since the DEA models also have the multi-objective linear programming (MOLP) problems nature, a rational relationship can be established between MOLP and DEA problem...

This article analyzes the interactions through which primary-care nurses and patients accomplish patient weighing. The analysis is based on videotaped nurse-adult patient interactions in clinics in the area of Southern California. Detailed examination of co-participants' naturally situated weighing conduct shows that parties recurrently deliver utterances that go beyond that required to accompl...

Consider an informal speciication S 1 containing the closed world assumption (CWA) for its domain of discourse, the speciication S 2 obtained from S 1 by removing CWA, a general logic program formalizing S 1 , and an extended logic program T formalizing S 2. We will say that T is an approximation of. The goal of this paper is to investigate the relationship between formalizations and T. In part...

Abstract The water that moves upward inside the stone is affected by capillary absorption (CWA). This trend in historic and old buildings causes rapid destruction. In simple regression model, relationship between CWA with resistance (compressive strengt...

Evaporation of micro-liter drops from solid surfaces at room condition is mainly governed by diffusion. Therefore, there should be no difference between evaporation rate of sessile and pendant drops. However, some studies indicate a difference and explain the difference using buoyancy. The objective here is to reconcile the inconsistency in the literature. For that, first, by comparing two iden...

Abstract Survey weighting allows researchers to account for bias in survey samples, due unit nonresponse or convenience sampling, using measured demographic covariates. Unfortunately, practice, it is impossible know whether the estimated weights are sufficient alleviate concerns about unobserved confounders incorrect functional forms used weighting. In following paper, we propose two sensitivit...

Data Envelopment Analysis is a linear programming technique for assessing the efficiency and productivity of decision making units (DMUs). Over the last decade, DEA has gained considerable attention as a managerial tool for measuring performance. The flexibility in selecting the weights in standard DEA models deters the comparison among DMUs on a common base. Moreover, these weights are unsuita...
