Central Bank Independence, Speed of Disinflation and the Sacrifice Ratio. [PDF]

This paper examines the impact of central bank independence on inflation persistence. Our theoretical analysis predicts that a higher degree of central bank independence leads to a lower inflation persistence and therefore to a higher speed of ...

Performance: The Output/Input Ratio

, 2019
This chapter defines the concepts of this Handbook—performance, productivity, efficiency, and profitability—and discusses the interrelations. The most prominent performance measure, total factor productivity growth, is grounded in activity analysis and related to Debreu’s coefficient of resource utilization.

Circular RNA expression landscapes in myelodysplastic neoplasms: Associations with mutational signatures and disease progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

Subtype‐specific enhancer RNAs define transcriptional regulators and prognosis in breast cancers

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study employed machine learning methodologies to perform the subtype‐specific classification of RNA‐seq data sets, which are mapped on enhancers from TCGA‐derived breast cancer patients. Their integration with gene expression (referred to as ProxCReAM eRNAs) and chromatin accessibility profiles has the potential to identify lineage‐specific and ...

Characteristics of a series of high speed hard chine planing hulls - part 1: performance in calm water

, 2010
A new series of high speed hard chine planing hulls was designed to study their performance in both calm water and waves. This study was undertaken to determine the influence of hull design parameters such as length-displacement ratio, static trim angle ...

Network divergence analysis identifies adaptive gene modules and two orthogonal vulnerability axes in pancreatic cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumors contain diverse cellular states whose behavior is shaped by context‐dependent gene coordination. By comparing gene–gene relationships across biological contexts, we identify adaptive transcriptional modules that reorganize into distinct vulnerability axes.

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 ...

Clipping-corrected performance ratio: a new metric for high DC:AC ratio PV systems

EPJ Photovoltaics
The most established key performance indicator for (PV) system performance is the performance ratio (PR) metric, which is the ratio of the actual to the expected specific yield of a PV system.
