Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Empirical Study of Efficiency Evaluation with Dynamic Strategy Trajectory Based on DEA Algorithm and BCG Model: A Case Study of Securities IndustryCheng-Shian Lin, Chun-Yueh LinThe U.S. Subprime Mortgage Crisis in 2008 led many financial institutions, including those in the securities industry, to the verge of bankruptcy. As the securities industry has a pivotal position in financial markets, this study aims to use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to discuss the efficiency of the securities industry after the Financial Tsunami. In addition, this paper integrates the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2018 · 8,166 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEfficiency 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 · 7,482 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCascaded MNetV3UNet: A Lightweight Two-Stage Architecture for High-Precision Brain Tumor Segmentation in MRIMayuri Popat, Sanskruti PatelPrecise brain tumor segmentation is an essential but quite challenging process in MRI images because of their irregular shapes, heterogeneous appearance, and low contrast with surrounding tissues. While U-Net-based architectures have achieved significant success, their high computational complexity limits deployment on resource-constrained systems. In this study, a Novel two-stage cascaded architecture, MNetV3UNet, is introduced, which employs the light-weight MobileNetV3-Large as … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 23 Feb 2026 · 1,788 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Edge Efficient and Lightweight Hybrid CNN Vision Transformer Network With CBAM for IoT Based Plant Disease DetectionNyabeye Pangop Doris-Khöler, Kengni Ngangmo OlgaDetecting crop disease early enough to act on it remains a bottleneck for smallholder and precision farming alike, particularly when diagnosis depends on manual inspection or lab analysis that cannot keep pace with an outbreak. We present AgriViTNet, a compact CNN-Vision Transformer hybrid built for exactly this constraint: It extracts local texture cues through convolution, relates them across the whole … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 9 · 20 Sep 2026 · 578 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Performance Analysis of a Petroleum-Pipeline-Pressure-Boosting Station Powered by Two-Shaft GT EngineYousef S. H. Najjar, Mohammad Z. M. Yousef, Aad M. A. Al-MahgariThis study offers modeling and performance analysis of a pressure-boosting station for petroleum pipelines using a sustainable two-shaft GT engine to drive a three-stage centrifugal pump. The modeling is divided into three steps; matching the GT engine components at the maximum efficiency line, matching the pump performance with the requirements of the pipeline system to generate the pump load curve, … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2022 · 10,510 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomated Evaluation of Short Answers Using Text Similarity for the Portuguese LanguageSilvério Sirotheau, Joao C.A. dos Santos, Eloi L. Favero, Simone N. de FreitasAlong with the development of distance education, emerges the demand for virtual environments as the automated evaluation studies of essays that has already produced promising results. However, when dealing with short answers, replicating the decisions of a human grader is still a challenge, as the portability of essay evaluation techniques to short answers has not produced results with the same … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 11 · 21 Nov 2019 · 6,899 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGovernment Expenditure and School Efficiency and Productivity Change: A Case of Public Primary Schools in KenyaMutinda Mutuku, Julius Korir, Dianah Ngui-MuchaiEducation management is a more labor intensive process previously measured by level of school enrolment and education quality with low or no concern on productivity and efficient resource utilization. Trends in increasing government allocation to education sector demonstrate a positive impact on enrolment, education quality and efficiency levels determined in the study. However, there was a gap on how government … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 17 Apr 2019 · 8,446 accessesView PDF Cite
