Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficiency Comparison of Operational and Profitability: A Case of Hong Kong Commercial BanksCheng-Ru Wu, Hui-Yin Tsai, Ya-Mei WangProblem Statement: Traditional DEA models deal with measurements of relative efficiency of DMUs regarding multiple-inputs vs. multiple-outputs. One of the drawbacks of these models is the neglect of intermediate products or linking activities. The objectives of this study were: (i) This research was shown how to use DEA by two stages, with outputs from the first stage becoming inputs in … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Production Planning of Electricity from Coal-Fired Power Plant Networks under Environmental ConsiderationsHabib H. Al-Ali, Yousef Saif, Ali Elkamel, Ali LohiIn this study, electricity production from a network of coal power plants and under environmental constraints is considered. Several pollutants are incorporated into the decision planning process including nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx) and mercury (Hg). A Nonconvex Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model was first developed to assist in the evaluation process. An exact linearization of the nonconvex … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Computable General Equilibrium Model of Southern Region in Taiwan: The Impact of the Tainan Science-Based Industrial ParkChun-Chu Liu, Chia-Yon ChenThe primary modeling tools used to analyze regional economic issues include econometric forecasting models, fixed price Input-Output (I-O) multi-sector models, Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models. CGE models combine the advantages of econometric, I-O models and SAM strengthening the theoretical basis of the modeling effort and thus enabling more precise policy analysis. The current CGE literature … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 7,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Reliable Method of Analysis for Geotechnical DataAbdolrasoul Ranjbaran, Mohammad Ranjbaran, Fatema RanjbaranGeotechnical engineering is the art of making decisions in the presence of uncertainty, where real world problems are treated and this is associated with uncertainties arising from various sources. The sources of uncertainty may be divided into uncertainties of nature and uncertainties of mind. The uncertainties of nature are due to variation of encountered phenomena, e.g., the shear strength in … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 26 Dec 2020 · 7,577 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Artificial Neural Network Point Forecasting Models and Prediction Intervals for Solar Irradiance EstimationAntônio Fabrício Guimarães de Sousa, Helaine Cristina Moraes Furtado, Wilson Negrão Macêdo, Anderson Alvarenga de Moura MenesesAn accurate knowledge on solar irradiance prediction is particularly required for proper development and planning of Photovoltaic (PV) energy systems. The main purpose of the present research is to assess the accuracy of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) short-term forecast of univariate solar irradiance time series, with conventional point prediction and Prediction Intervals (PIs), comparing models. The Lower Upper Bound Estimation … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 17 Jul 2020 · 7,443 accessesView PDFCite
