Knowing efficiency: the enactment of efficiency in efficiency auditing
Accounting, Organizations and Society, 1999Abstract This paper reports an ethnographic study of the activities of auditors in the field as they work to fulfil an efficiency auditing mandate; it analyses how auditors report on efficiency in practice. Miller and Rose's work on governmentality ( Miller & Rose (1990) . Governing economic Life.

We define a quasidictionary to be a data structure that supports the following operations: check-in(v) inserts a data item v and returns a positive integer tag to be used in future references to v; check-out(x) deletes the data item with tag x; access(x) inspects and/or modifies the data item with tag x.

Memory is the heart of today's electronic computers—memory serving as a fast-access storage unit and also being used in the execution of computer commands. The problem of memory efficiency, therefore, is one of great importance. Complete efficiency has not yet been attained and research to achieve it has been up to now rather limited.

Efficiently learning efficient programs
2017Discovering efficient algorithms is central to computer science. In this thesis, we aim to discover efficient programs (algorithms) using machine learning. Specifically, we claim we can efficiently learn programs (Claim 1), and learn efficient programs (Claim 2).

On the Efficiency of Algorithms
Journal of the ACM, 1970A definition is given of the efficiency of an algorithm considered as a whole. This immediately raises the question of whether it is possible to find the most efficient or “optimum” algorithm. It is shown that an optimization problem of this kind is effectively solvable if and only if the set of arguments with which one is concerned is a finite one ...

Efficient Efficiencies Analysis
The Antitrust Bulletin, 2015Efficiencies analysis is both an important area and one where research efforts can be particularly productive. Thinking of efficiencies and competitive effects together as components of a unified analysis is a productive conceptual framework and one that may yield methodological advances.

Tabular: Efficiently Building Efficient Indexes
Proceedings of the VLDB EndowmentConcurrent indexes are hard to build by requiring complex, careful yet error-prone processes of design and implementation. As prior work has observed, modeling indexes as transactional tables can largely ease programming. The developer only needs to write single-threaded logic without worrying about concurrency or persistence, which are transparently ...

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/

The research to be reported examines the concept of efficiency, defined as the relation of metabolic energy expended to mechanical work done. The development of movement coordination was investigated in the context of the hypothesis that an increase in coordination would be accompanied by a parallel reduction in overall energy expenditure, relative to ...
