nowadays, liveliness and rapid maintenance of the development process of the companies are dependent on the accurate and complete understanding of the merits of the financial activities. since these merits are relative concepts that are based on comparisons, lists of ranking and comparison of industries with each other act as useful signposts for managers, politicians, and investors. the point ...

in the real world there are groups which composed of independent units. the conventional data envelopment analysis(dea) model treats groups as units, ignoring the operation of individual units within each group.the current paper, investigates parallel system network approach proposed by kao and modifies it. as modied kao' model is more eligible to recognize ecient groups, a new ranking m...

Diphosphoglycerate mutase (DPGM) was purified to homogeneity from human erythrocytes. The enzyme and Freund adjuvant were infected into chickens and yielded a monospecific precipitating antibody. Radial immunodiffusion with this antibody was used to measure the amount of DPGM in hemolysates from human adult and cord red cells. Dog, rabbit, rat, chicken, and goat red cells all had DPGM during th...

the multi-criteria decision making model is an important tool for decision making in water resource management. in this paper, the topsis model was used to rank seven flood management options in the gorganrood river flood management project, including conservation of natural condition, golestan reservoir management, levee construction, diversions-channel construction, flood forecasting and warn...

In this current study a generalized super-efficiency model is first proposed for ranking extreme efficient decision making units (DMUs) in stochastic data envelopment analysis (DEA) and then, a deterministic (crisp) equivalent form of the stochastic generalized super-efficiency model is presented. It is shown that this deterministic model can be converted to a quadratic programming model. So fa...

The feasibility of kaolinite used as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II), Zn(II) and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions was investigated. During the removal process, batch technique was used, and the effects of heavy metal concentration and contact time on adsorption efficiency at pH of 4.5, under a constant temperature of 20?1 ?C were studied. The experimental results were analyzed using...
