Physical Review E, 2007
League competition is investigated using random processes and scaling techniques. In our model, a weak team can upset a strong team with a fixed probability. Teams play an equal number of head-to-head matches and the team with the largest number of wins is declared to be the champion.

Efficiency of trucks in logistics: technical efficiency and scale efficiency
Asian Journal on Quality, 2010PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose a scheme to estimate the technical efficiency of trucks engaged in logistics and to analyze the properties of efficiency. The objectives are to determine individual‐truck level technical efficiency using both radial and non‐radial measures for freight trucks, to calculate the degree of input overuse.Design/

Technology efficiency or allocation efficiency
China Agricultural Economic Review, 2018Purpose The emergence of mega-farms in middle-income countries like Brazil and Ukraine and the efforts to consolidate small farms into larger ones in China and elsewhere have suggested that new institutional arrangements and technology progress may increase the significant farm economies of size, and therefore challenging the classical inverse ...

Nursing Ethics, 1997
Efficiency has become of central importance in health care and is seen as wholly laudable. It appears to offer a precise and objective means of evaluating and comparing institutions, practices and individuals, and is a principle that underlies techniques of cost-benefit analysis and other methods of option appraisal.

Scientific American, 2006
This article looks at developing a comprehensive plan for efficient energy usage, which could be the cheapest, fastest way to mitigate carbon emissions. The article explains that two thirds of all energy is lost during its conversion into forms used in human activities, and most of this energy comes from carbon-emitting fossil fuels.

The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 1986
The thought that it can be efficient to combine two or more multiproduct firms (plants) is made precise by \textit{W. Baumol, J. Panzar} and \textit{R. Willig} [''Contestable markets and the theory of industry structure''; San Diego: Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich (1982)]. In particular, the notion of economies of scope is introduced to model the gains of

Basic Research in Cardiology, 1994
Efficiency is defined as the ratio of the energy delivered by a system to the energy supplied to it. Depending on the particular question being addressed, there exist a plethora of definitions of efficiency in medical texts, thus hampering their comparison. If only the ventricular work seen by the arterial system is under investigation, pressure-volume

Efficiency, Efficient Institutions, and Globalization
2012Does globalization entail a demand for uniformity, or diversity, of the (political) economic institutions of nation-states? This is the question that has loomed large in the policy debate on the different approaches to the transformation of the Soviet-type economic system.
