this study aimed to measure the hospital productivity using data envelopment analysis (dea) technique and malmquist indices.this is a cross sectional study in which the panel data were used in a 4 year period from 2007 to 2010. the research was implemented in 12 teaching and non-teaching hospitals of ahvaz county. data envelopment analysis technique and the malmquist indices with an input-orien...

Abstract The paper deals with a new application of the key term separation principle in identification nonlinear dynamic systems. A multiplicative form this operator decomposition technique is proposed and applied to Wiener model. resulting mathematical model linear both block parameters. Illustrative examples are included.

In this work we conceive a method of how the Lagrange multiplier modified Variational Iteration Method can be defined from Laplace transform, And use technique to solve both differential equations and FDEs with initial value conditions, With Illustrative examples by applying VIM Ordinary fractional Differential Equations.

A Generalized Teaching Machine Decision Structure with Application to Speed Reading A relatively new type of automated instruction called the "computer directed" teaching machine is discussed. Typical present-day teaching machines either give every student the same instruction material or choose what material the student receives on the basis of his answer to the last question. The computer-dir...

Reduce teaching to intellect and it becomes a cold abstraction; reduce it to emotions and it becomes narcissistic; reduce it to the spiritual and it loses its anchor to the world. . . . Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher. Parker J. Palmer The Courage to Teach (1998, p. 4, 10) 8 Evaluating: Assessing and Enhancing Teac...

Some time ago it became necessary in this department to have a rapid and reliable method for the determination of iron in blood serum or plasma. The method was required for teaching purposes on human subjects and for investigations on iron metabolism in various species. Since none of the published techniques seemed quite suitable, a new one was based on the experience of the author (Ramsay, 195...
