This paper describes a minimally immersive interactive system for flow visualization of multivariate volumetric data. The system, SFA, uses perceptuallymotivated rendering to increase the quantity and clarity of information perceived. Proprioception, stereopsis, perceptually-motivated shape visualization, and three-dimensional interaction are combined in SFA to allow the three-dimensional volum...

Although agenda of Water supply in sufficient quantity and standard quality is highlighted in India from last few years. But Yet Performance assessment and Efficiency evaluation of water supply services not in practice. However the analysis is confined to the realm of researchers and policy makers.

This is the first comprehensive experimental study about investigation the impacts of information technology on efficiency of Iran’s banks for a period of 22 years from (1990 to 2011) by using SFA model. Results of the study have shown the technical efficiency average of Iranian banks during the study is (79%) and technical efficiency of privatelyowned banks in Iran is higher than publicly-owne...

Technical efficiency of higher education has been mostly studied by the methods Data Envelopment Analysis and Stochastic Frontier Analysis. However, usually papers either compare the efficiency between public institutions or between departments and in both cases, using variables that reflect the teaching and the research with the same importance. In this paper the two methodologies are applied ...
