in dea to obtain an efficient representation in ccr andbcc models for each dmu only one linear plan would be solved; however,it is possible in centralized resource allocation (cra) to solve allthe dmus by one linear planning. in this paper, models of centralizedresource allocation in input-oriented and in dynamic case will be offeredand by using dynamic sbm, the representation of dmus in each t...

AIM To investigate the relation between blood flow parameters of the retrobulbar vessels measured by means of colour Doppler imaging (CDI) and fluorescein filling defects of the optic nerve head in patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and control subjects. METHODS 29 patients with NTG and 29 age and sex matched control subjects were included in this study. Blood flow velocities-peak sy...

We estimate the impact of Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) on small business lending in lower-income neighborhoods. Using 2004-2016 panel data census tracts, we apply a combined regression discontinuity and fixed effect method. find that number loans increases by about 3 to 4 percent total dollar amount 6 10 tracts becoming treated CRA. The results are robust along many dimensions suggest CRA h...

Aim: To evaluate the risk factors for rubeosis iridis by colour Doppler imaging (CDI) in patients with complete internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO). Methods: 34 eyes of 32 consecutive patients with complete ICAO were enrolled. Using CDI, blood flow direction (forward, reverse, undetectable) in the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), and short posterior ciliary artery (SPC...

In this paper, a fuzzy inference system (FIS) that incorporated with an analogical reasoning schema based criterion-referenced assessment (CRA) is proposed. The aim of CRA is to report students’ achievement with reference to a set of objective reference points. Usually, scores were given to each task in order to eases the assessment as in common practice. A total-score is further obtained with ...

Escherichia coli K100 produces an antigenic determinant similar to, or identical with, the capsular antigen of Haemophilus influenzae type b. Studies of the effects of heat on the immunogenicity, erythrocyte-modifying capacity, and antigenicity of this cross-reacting antigen (CRA) revealed the following findings. Immunization of rabbits with viable or formaldehyde-killed suspensions of E. coli ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We investigated the usefulness of central retinal artery (CRA) Doppler flowmetry in patients with cerebral small-vessel disease (SVD). METHODS CRA Doppler flowmetry was performed in 103 SVD patients who underwent MRI. Sixty-four adjusted control subjects were also registered. We assessed average CRA flow parameter values for both eyes with the clinical and MRI findings....

One of the most neglected areas of biomedical Text Mining (TM) is the development of systems based on carefully assessed user needs. We investigate the needs of an important task yet to be tackled by TM — Cancer Risk Assessment (CRA) — and take the first step towards the development of TM for the task: identifying and organizing the scientific evidence required for CRA in a taxonomy. The taxono...
