selection of an appropriate set of information system (is) projects is a critical business activity which is very helpful to all organizations. in this paper, after describing real is project selection problem of iran ministry of commerce (moc), we introduce two data envelopment analysis (dea) models. then, we show applicability of introduced models for identifying most efficient is project fro...

Fast and resource-efficient inference in artificial neural networks (ANNs) is of utmost importance drives many new developments the area hardware architectures, e.g., by means systolic arrays or algorithmic optimization such as pruning. In this paper, we present a novel method for lowering computation effort ANN utilizing ideas from information theory. Weight matrices are sliced into submatrice...

In a variety of biological processes, eukaryotic cells use cilia to transport flow. Although cilia have a remarkably conserved internal molecular structure, experimental observations report very diverse kinematics. To address this diversity, we determine numerically the kinematics and energetics of the most efficient cilium. Specifically, we compute the time-periodic deformation of a wall-bound...
