This study proposes a new approach which combines Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) techniques to effectively evaluate Decision Making Units (DMUs). While DEA evaluates a quantitative data set, employs linear programming to obtain input and output weights and ranks the performance of DMUs, AHP evaluates the qualitative data retrieved from expert opinions and other managerial information in specifying weights. The objective of this research is to design a decision support process for managers to incorporate positive aspects of DEA's absolute numerical evaluations and AHP's human preference structure values. It is believed that a pragmatic manager will be more receptive to the results that include subjective opinions incorporated into the evaluation of the efficiency of each DMU efficiency when the AHP and DEA are combined simultaneously. The WPDEA method provides better discrimination than the DEA method by reducing the number of efficient units.

오하이오 중부에서 풍속이 0.5m.s-1인 경우는 매우 드물었으며, 5년 평균 풍속은 약 2.5 m.s-1인 것으로 나타났다. 최고 기온이 35t인 오하이오주의 대표적인 여름에 온실 내의 여섯 곳에서 측정된 기온의 최대범위는 1.7℃, 온실 내외 기온의 최대차는 3.5℃인 것으로 나타났다. CFD 모델에서의 온도 분포를 분석한 결과, 온실의 환기 회수가 0.9 회/분 이상일 때 실내 공기가 외부 기온을 2.8℃이상 초과하는 경우는 없었던 것으로 예측되었다. 풍향과 풍속에 따라서 각각의 환기구들의 효율성이 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 환기창을 통해 유입되는 강한 바람에 의하여 발생하는 공기의 소용돌이들은 지붕창들의 효율성에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 예측되었다. CFD model은 서쪽에서와 동쪽에서 불어오는 바람이 각각 2.1 m.s-1와 3.5 m.s-1이상일 때 이 연동형 온실은 적정한 자연 환기량을 취할 수 있다고 예측하였다. 측면창 바로 옆에 위치한 식물군과 벤취에 의해 측면창을 통한 자연적인 공기의 유입이 방해를 받기 때문에, 바람이 서쪽에서 불어올 때 식물군이 없을 때보다 평균 12%의 환기량의 감소 결과를 가져오는 것으로 예측되었다. 식물군은 공기의 유입창의 위치보다 약간 낮은 곳에 위치하여야 하며, 유입창을 너무 높이 설치하면 측면창을 통해 유입되는 공기는 가장 근접한 지붕창을 통해 대부분이 배출되는 것으로 예측되었다. 연동형 자연환기식 온실에 있어서 바람이 불어오는 쪽의 측면창들과 바람의 반대쪽을 향한 지붕창들의 혼합형이 가장 효율적인 온실 설계인 것으로 예측되었다.

RAPD-PCR(Random Amplified Polymorphic DNAs-Polymerase Chain Reation) 기법에 누에의 유전적 변이 분석을 위한 첫 단계로 다양한 GC함량을 갖는 random primer에 의해서 증폭되는 DNA 단편의 양상 및 증폭도를 비교하였다. RAPD-PCR을 위한 random primer의 증폭도는 GC함량에 의해서 상당히 영향을 받음이 분석되었다. 특히, 50% GC 함량을 갖는 primer는 그 증폭도에 따라서 4가지의 그룹으로 DNA단편이 증폭되었으며 〔bad amplification (75.5%), poor amplification (11.1%), good and excellent amplification(11.1%)〕, primer의 GC 함량이 증가할수록, 휠씬 더 좋은 증폭도를 보여주었다. 그러나, 40% GC 함량을 갖는 primer에 의해서는 어떤 증폭산물도 관찰되지 않았다. PCR을 수행하기 전에 6가지의 제한효소(BamHI, HindIII, Xbal, HaeIII, MspI, Rsal)를 사용하여 누에 genomic DNA를 처리하여 이를 주형 DNA로 하여 RAPD-PCR을 수행한 결과, 유전적 마커의 생산에 대한 효율이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 60%이상의 GC함량을 갖는 random primer와 전처리한 주형 DNA의 사용은 여러 가지 다른 누에 계통의 동정 및 연관군 지도작성에 따른 경비 및 시간을 줄이는데 효율적이라고 사료된다.

Stow-net is originally spreaded with a lifting beam and a depressing beam. The net is improved by using canvas-made spreading devices by Mr. Han and his colleagues in the beginning of 1980's. The net is improved again by changing the partial shape of netting and arrangement of net pendants so as to be fitting with the actual performance of the net by Dr. Lee and his colleagues since 1988. The author studied to compare the fishing efficiency of those two kinds of nets(The former which was improve by Mr. Han is expressed as a traditional net and the latter improved again by Dr. Lee is expressed as an improved net in the present study). Twenty-one stow-netters concerned with the present study were selected among those based on the Port of Inchon, and were classified into two groups-eleven of them are a traditional net used group and ten are an improved net used group. The data on the fishing operation from August 1992 to March 1993, including the catch, the price of sell, the fishing operated times in every cruise and the fished position noticed by every stow-netter were offered by concerned stow-netters. From the data the times of operation, catch and value in every cruise were extracted and analyzed. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: 1. The times of operation in cruise were 13.7 by the traditional net used group and 12.7 by the improved net used group. 2. The mean catch per cruise showed 10.1M/T in the traditional net used group and 12.2M/T in the improved net used group, so the latter showed 21% better. 3. The mean catch per operation showed 0.7M/T in the traditional net used group and 0.9M/T in the improved net used group, so the latter showed 28% better. 4. The rate of three important species(starks, hair tail and croakers) in the total catch showed 83%, and the catch showed greater by the improved net used group at the rate of starks 141%, hair tail 110%, croakers 107%. 5. The rate of three important species in the total price showed 82%, but the price of starks which occupied the biggest in catch showed merely 5%, then the economical efficiency appeared low. 6. The mean price per stow-netter and per operation showed about 20%, greater respectively by the improved net used group and the mean price per operation by two important species(hair tail and croakers) showed greater about 30% by the improved net used group.

The need for improved port call performance in African ports is way overdue as none of the African sea ports appear on the top 100 sea ports in the World as presented by the Lloyds list. The performance of ports greatly serves and benefits various stakeholders besides the country in which they belong. These stakeholders do include but not limited to third-party logistics providers, vessel/ship owners etc hence the need to improve port call performance is critical. There is not much studies available that tackle the issue of port call performance a hence creating a gap which this study opted to fill and contribute towards the assessment of Africa maritime trade contributors port call performance as most of the ports in Africa are deemed not efficient. Hence this analysis aimed at analyzing the performance of African top ten leading countries that contribute to the global maritime trade and later combine both African countries and the world’s top ten leading maritime trading countries as a benchmark to establish an improvement strategy from which low performing DMUs in the analysis were to borrow a leaf from. Having conducted the study, some African countries came out to be more performing. A few adjustments are to be made for them to improve their port call performance. However, their performance was still above average in comparison to the world’s leading countries that posed as benchmark and a standard port call performance operation strategy.

The study examines the efficiency of private sector banks in India with the help of Window DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) for a period from 2005 to 2017. With a window of three years, the period was divided into 11 windows. The study outcomes show that 59.9% of all private sector banks in India operate at more than 0.9 level of efficiency, and there are only three occasions when banks were operating at the efficiency value between 0.6 to 0.7. Further, the consistency in the efficiency scores of the banks has also been analyzed using an efficiency mapping matrix, and the mean efficiency score of the bank in each window is studied. The score of standard deviation was interpreted accordingly for these banks. Banks that are showing the highest efficiency scores also have a higher variance of efficiency scores. There was no bank identified in the matrix that promises high-efficiency ratings with low variability. The study concludes that the analysis of the efficiency mapping matrix indicates that, as a DMU escalates in the efficiency scores, the standard deviation reflecting the risk in overall efficiency scores also tends to rise. The findings complement the concept of higher risk to higher return or greater efficiency

This research is defined as a study regarding on structured and systematized of existing literature review of the intersection between intellectual property management, management and technology transfer offices (TTOs). It takes a deeper look at requirements within universities, scientific institutions and the business environment should be interconnected with each other.

In this paper, authors proposed the methodological tools based on methodology model, which identified success factors for using project management in TTO between two countries - Kazakhstan and Spain. Further, we used methodology is focused on solving the problems of quantitative analysis based on the use of primary data, which allowed us to reach a huge number of respondents without any restrictions, and secondary data from statistical database. Findings and results are summarized at the end of article show that Kazakhstan is following the path of the Spanish experience. However, Kazakhstan can become more successful in commercializing scientific technologies and transferring knowledge and technologies. In turn, Spain can use the data from our analysis to work on barriers and improve the activities of TTOs.

This paper applies the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to compute the managerial efficiency of 30 insurance companies listed on the Saudi stock exchange for the duration of four years from 2015 to 2018. The companies taken as a sample of study included both conventional and Takaful insurance companies. The insurance sector of KSA is one of the largest sectors in the country, contributing a substantial percentage in the non-oil economy. Efficiency measurement and evaluation will provide a venue to introspect and benchmark frontiers to the sector. In the present study, we have utilized the basic Banker Charnes Cooper and Charnes Copper Rhodes models of DEA. Two inputs, namely, general & administrative expenses and policy & acquisition costs, and two outputs (Net premium earned and Investment Income & other incomes) were taken for efficiency calculations. The final outcomes of the study reveal that a good number of insurance companies operating in KSA are found to be efficient on managerial efficiency scale. Three firms remain the leader on the frontier of the managerial efficiency. And no company found with zero (0) efficiency or a negative efficiency. It is expected that the outcome of the study will provide benchmarks to managers and a road map to further improvement.

This study analyzes the effect of negative air ions on the concentration of airborne particulate matter and evaluates the expected purification efficiency of open spaces for particulate matter by investigating the amount of negative air ions generated by plants. This study establishes a negative air ion generation treatment environment, plant environment, and control environment to measure the purification efficiency of particulate matter under the conditions of each, analyzing the expected purification efficiency by designing a particulate matter purification model. Results show that the amount of generated negative air ion according to environment was negative air ion generation treatment environment > plant environment > control environment; this order also applies to the particulate matter purification efficiency. Moreover, it took 65 min for the negative ion generation treatment environment, 90 min for the plant environment, and 240 min for the control environment to reach the standard expected purification efficiency of particulate matter concentration of 960 mg/m³ for PM10. For PM2.5, with the designated maximum concentration of 700 mg/m³, it took 60 min for the negative ion generation treatment environment, 80 min for the plant environment, and more than 240 min for the control environment. Based on these results, the expected purification efficiency compared to the control environment was quadrupled in the negative ion generation treatment environment and tripled in the plant environment on average.
