in the present study an attempt has been made to use a non-parametric method data envelopment analysis (dea) for assessing source-wise and operation-wise the technical efficiency (te) and return-to-scale (rts) for paddy production in four zones of the state of punjab, india. the results were then compared to corresponding ones already obtained from a parametric method (cobb-douglas production f...

A single-photon detection using a Si-based two-dimensional ͑2D͒ multiple-tunnel-junction field-effect transistor ͑FET͒ is reported. The single photon is detected as a random telegraph signal ͑RTS͒ in the single-hole-tunneling current regime. The frequency of RTS events depends on the light wavelength and intensity, indicating that the RTS occurs due to the single-photon absorption in the Si dots form...

BACKGROUND Knee reinjury after ACL reconstruction is common and increases the risk of osteoarthritis. There is sparse evidence to guide return to sport (RTS) decisions in this population. OBJECTIVES To assess the relationship between knee reinjury after ACL reconstruction and (1) return to level I sports, (2) timing of RTS and (3) knee function prior to return. METHODS 106 patients who part...

Models of endogenous growth have not been able to account for the variety of empirically observed distributional properties of the returns to innovation, in part, because of the limitations necessarily imposed on competition to cope with increasing returns to scale. Exponential growth, fat tails, Pareto–Levy distributed upper tails, and upper value outliers, are associated with increasing retur...

Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games have shown to be very resilient to standard adversarial tree search techniques. Recently, a few approaches to tackle their complexity have emerged that use game state or move abstractions, or both. Unfortunately, the supporting experiments were either limited to simpler RTS environments (μRTS, SparCraft) or lack testing against state-of-the-art game playing agents...

awardness about structure of production technology and its characteristics is a usefull tool for planning in agricultural sector. in this regard, this study aims to determine some effective parameters of structure of production technology in rain fed barley production. before estimating these parameters, we examine the aggregation consistency condition for barley fields using the mean scaling t...
