Performance evaluation using bootstrapping DEA techniques: Evidence from industry ratio analysis
In Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) context financial data/ ratios have been used in order to produce a unified measure of performance metric. However, several scholars have indicated that the inclusion of financial ratios create biased efficiency ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water losses are a critical environmental and operational challenge, especially in regions exposed to increasing water stress. This study assesses the environmental productivity of municipal water supply services in Spain and Portugal during the period 2014–2022, explicitly treating losses as an undesirable output.

Small, EarlyView.Monolithic cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers simultaneously generate color and sound under electrically programmed stimuli. Low‐frequency electric fields modulate the helical pitch to produce tunable structural colors, while high‐frequency excitation induces membrane vibration for acoustic emission.

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.Electron‐beam induced C–F cleavage in –CF3 generates F−, which abstracts a proton to form the acid that catalyzes tBMA deprotection during post‐exposure baking. This self‐sensitization mechanism enables the precise formation of high‐resolution negative‐tone patterns with enhanced sensitivity and resolution.
