In this paper, a new technique is proposed to optimize the conflicting parameters like low value of maximum side lobe level (SLL), narrow beam-width of the main beam and low value of maximum sideband radiation level (SRL) of time-modulated linear antenna arrays (TMLAAs). The method is based on minimizing a multi-objective fitness function by using single-objective differential evolution algorit...

The rapid development of the aviation industry has brought about deterioration climate, which makes airline efficiency become a hot issue social concern. As an important nonparametric method, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), been widely applied in evaluation. This paper examines 130 papers published period 1993–2020 to summarize literature involving special application DEA models efficiency. be...

competition between the managers of industrial and service organizations to provide their financial needs and credit facilities via the bank's loan is growing daily. other hand, financial resources and credit of banks and financial institutions to provide accommodations to applicants is limit. accordingly the optimal allocation of limit financial resources with the aim of making the maximu...

Amiodarone (AMD)-induced pulmonary toxicity (AIPT) is the most life-threatening side-effect of AMD treatment. N-Monodesethylamiodarone (DEA), an active metabolite of AMD, also exhibits cytotoxicity and tends to accumulate in the lung more intensively than AMD. In this study, we characterized the mechanism of DEA accumulation using A549 cells as a model of the alveolar epithelium. Typical ATP-de...

in this article, non radial method of dynamic dea with the parallel network structure is presented and is used for calculation of relative efficiency measures when inputs and outputs do not change equally. in this model, dmu divisions under evaluation have been put together in parallel. but its dynamic structure is assumed in series. since in real applications there are undesirable inputs and o...

In this paper, we discuss the relationship between multi-attribute utility theory and DEA models without explicit inputs (DEA-WEI), including dual models and some theoretical analysis of DEA-WEI models. We then propose generic DEA-WEI models with quadratic utility terms. Finally, we provide illustrative examples to show that DEA-WEI with suitable quadratic utility terms are able to reflect some...

Diethanolamine (DEA) is a common ingredient of personal care products. Dermal administration of DEA diminishes hepatic stores of the essential nutrient choline and alters brain development. We previously reported that 80 mg/kg/day of DEA during pregnancy in mice reduced neurogenesis and increased apoptosis in the fetal hippocampus. This study was designed to establish the dose-response relation...
