Single‐Junction Organic Photovoltaic Cell with 19% Efficiency
Advances in Materials, 2021Improving power conversion efficiency (PCE) is important for broadening the applications of organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. Here, a maximum PCE of 19.0% (certified value of 18.7%) is achieved in single‐junction OPV cells by combining material design ...

Is it efficient to analyse efficiency rankings? [PDF]
Empirical Economics, 2000 When production functions are estimated as frontier functions, the deviations from the frontier can be interpreted as individual inefficiency estimates. Unfortunately, it has recently been shown that efficiency differences across individuals are very often statistically insignificant. In this paper, we will analyse the consequences of the consideration

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.

Nature Biotechnology, 2006 Manufacturing jobs may be shifting from the large drug companies to contract organizations as firms re-evaluate their strengths. But scientists with analytical skills and an eye for efficiency can find a job transforming materials into medicines.

We consider a population of agents, either finite or countably infinite, located on an arbitrary network. Agents interact directly only with their immediate neighbors, but are able to observe the behavior of (some) other agents beyond theirinteraction neighborhood, and learn from that behavior by imitatingsuccessful actions.

On the efficient synthesis of efficient programs
Computer Compacts, 1983Abstract Efficiency is a problem in automatic programming—both in the programs produced and in the synthesis process itself. The efficiency problem arises because many target-language programs (which vary in their time and space performance) typically satisfy one abstract specification. This paper presents a framework for using analysis and searching

Are the Energy Efficiency Technologies efficient?
Economic Modelling, 2010Abstract This paper investigates a rather neglected issue regarding the impact of Energy Efficiency Technologies (EETs) on firms' productive performance. Possible influences may arise in the context of internal cost of adjustment, learning by doing effects and the capital vintage. A unique dataset was used which has resulted from a survey carried out

DEA efficiency analysis: Efficient and anti-efficient frontier
Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2007Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a methodology for identifying the efficient frontier of production possibility set. Using this efficient frontier, an efficiency score is derived to each decision making units. This study, proposes an alternative efficiency measure by using efficient and anti-efficient frontiers.
