From a private perspective, a firm facing a given technology and fixed output and input prices can do no better than to select an input-output vector that yields maximum profit. Indeed in section 5.4, an input-output vector (x, u) ∈ ПM(r, p) is termed overall graph efficient, i.e., the input-output vector is uncongested, technically efficient and ...

Advancing efficiency and scale in CPV arrays
2012 IEEE 38th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) PART 2, 2012In 2011, Amonix installed over 35 MW of CPV arrays across the U.S Southwest. In order to meet the competitive price targets of these projects, improvements have been made across the power path, from optics to cell. Modules fielded in 2011 produced over 20% more power than those fielded in 2009.

Efficient scaling in the residue number system
International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2003A unified residue number system scaling technique that allows the designer a great deal of flexibility in choosing the scale factor is presented. The technique is based on the L( epsilon + delta )-CRT (Chinese remainder theorem). By embedding the scaling process in the CRT, the L( epsilon + delta )-CRT can also be used to simplify the residue-to-analog

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/

Internet-scale service infrastructure efficiency
Proceedings of the 36th annual international symposium on Computer architecture, 2009High-scale cloud services provide economies of scale of five to ten over small-scale deployments, and are becoming a large part of both enterprise information processing and consumer services. Even very large enterprise IT deployments have quite different cost drivers and optimizations points from internet-scale services.

Energy-efficient truncated multipliers with scaling
2013 8th IEEE Design and Test Symposium, 2013Approximate computing is an attractive approach to energy saving area as many error-tolerant applications can make use of it for preserving energy on battery-powered mobile devices. This paper explores three designs of truncated 8-bit combinational multipliers that provide an approximate result while reducing energy consumption.

Efficient multiple scale kernel classifiers
2016 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (Big Data), 2016While kernel methods using a single Gaussian kernel have proven to be very successful for nonlinear classification, in case of learning problems with a more complex underlying structure it is often desirable to use a linear combination of kernels with different widths.

Scale and Productive Efficiency
1993Abstract One reason for making this distinction is that the sequence of changes in technical practice that may come about with a sequence of scale-technology contractions is compulsive, in the sense that no scale increase is possible unless the technical practice is also changed.

Efficient Large-Scale Structured Learning
2013 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2013We introduce an algorithm, SVM-IS, for structured SVM learning that is computationally scalable to very large datasets and complex structural representations. We show that structured learning is at least as fast-and often much faster-than methods based on binary classification for problems such as deformable part models, object detection, and ...

Efficiency and returns-to-scale of local governments
Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2012Local governments of advanced countries often have financial problems. Most central governments promote re-organization of local governments into larger local governments in order to reduce operating costs. Although cost reductions have been discussed by governments, political parties, economic institutes, etc, changes in industrial efficiency in ...
