the portfolio is a perfect combination of stock or assets, which an investor buys them. the objective of the portfolio is to divide the investment risk among several shares. using non-parametric dea and dea-r methods can be of great significance in estimating portfolio. in the present paper, the efficient portfolio is estimated by using non-radial dea and dea-r models. by proposing non-radial m...

Analysis of non-laminar flows in coarse alluvial beds has a wide range of applications in various civil engineering, oil and gas, and geology problems. Darcy equation is not valid to analyze transient and turbulent flows, so non-linear equations should be applied. Non-linear equations are classified into power and binomial equations. Binomial equation is more accurate in a wide range of velocit...

In this paper, exact closed-form solutions for displacement and stress components of thick-walled functionally graded (FG) spherical pressure vessels are presented. To this aim, linear variation of properties, as an important case of the known power-law function model is used to describe the FG material distribution in thickness direction. Unlike the pervious studies, the vessels can have arbit...

  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 an...

today, banks, as intermediaries, seek to attract and allocate resources to obtain greater benefit. therefore, the bank assessment is considered as an important subject in the banking industry. data envelopment analysis is an effective technique in evaluating the efficiency of decision-making units. there are factors among banking indices (such as receivables from resource allocation) that are i...

increasing demand for food production in the recent years has raised the usage of granular fertilizers. consequently, the growing use of fertilizers has reduced the quality and quantity of crop production. in addition pollution problems such as soil and water (surface and subterranean water) contaminations has increased. consistent spreading of fertilizers in the farmlands is of fundamental rul...

Rachel Rosen: A Non-Radial Oscillation Model for Radio Pulsars (Under the Direction of Dr. J. Christoper Clemens) We present a non-radial oscillation model that can successfully reproduce many properties of drifting subpulses in pulsars. By demonstrating the presence of oscillation modes in pulsars, we hope to pave the way for astroseismology of neutron stars. This model is an alternative to th...
