This method generates a sequence of infeasible points whose limit is an optimal solution to the original problem. An algorithm supported by numerical example is provided.

Technical Efficiency and Productivity Growth of Saudi Banks: A Data Envelopment Analysis Approach

Our DEA results indicate that technical inefficiency emerges from both scale as well as pure technical inefficiencies. The results on Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI)reflect an improvement in average productivity of banks. However, the major source of productivity gain was

In this way a total number of 282 respondents i.e. 141 beneficiaries and 141 non-beneficiaries were included in the sample for the study. A significant majority of respondents two third (67.38 %) had medium level of technical knowledge, general knowledge (72.34 %) and overall knowledge (70.22 %) by the adopted respondents. Social participation, material possession, education, socio-economic status, extension contact, source of income, risk orientation, change proneness and fatalism / scienticism were found to be positive and having significant correlation. However, in case of non adopted farmers' only two variables viz., socio-economic status and risk orientation were found to be positive with significant correlation with knowledge about PWPS. The regression coefficient of adopted farmers' education, family type, socio-economic status, extension contact, source of income, risk orientation and change proneness were found to have positive and significant. However, in case of non adopted farmers, education, socio economic status and risk orientation had positive and significant regression coefficient with the farmers' knowledge level.

The state of Haryana comprises 20 districts. Out of these, four districts viz., Hisar, Sirsa, Karnal and Kurukshetra were selected purposively depending upon the higher number of the organic farmers. A random sample of 20 organic farming practicing farmers from each of the four districts was taken. Thus, total number of 80 farmers constituted the sample for the purpose of the study. The finding indicated that nearly half of the farmers had highly knowledge, very few of them had low knowledge and remaining had medium level of knowledge about organic farming practices. Education, mass media exposure and innovativeness were positively and significantly related to the knowledge level when examined through correlation test. All the nine variables were fitted in regression equation of their knowledge level with total variation about 0.79 per cent of organic farmers.

It produces medium white slender grain of 30.5 test weight, broad thick and upright flag leaf, 260-300 panicles per m 2 , 6-8 tillers/plant with extra long panicle (>30cm). This variety is tolerant to leaf blast, stem borer and leaf folder attack. It is resistant to both dead heart and white ear head stem borer. CR Dhan 401 has exhibited moderate tolerance to neck blast, brown spot, sheath blight, sheath rot, green leaf hopper , white backed plant hopper, rice thrips and EHB as compared to the check varieties. The variety has unique quality of tolerating flash flood submergence for one week and has good regeneration ability after natural de-submergence. This genotype has thick straw, easy threshability and high response to fertilizer application as compared to controls.

Changes in serum level of ghrelin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 in children with congenital heart disease

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2015

Material & Methods: We measured the serum levels of ghrelin, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) by enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) in 67 patients with CHD and in 20 control subjects; and compared these markers of inflammatory reaction between groups of pre-closure (37 patients) and at the end of 5 minutes (37 patients), 1 month (22 patients) and 3 month (8 patients) post percutaneous management of the lesions. Results: Our results showed that the patients with CHD had significantly higher serum level of Ghrelin, TNF-α and IL-6 in comparison of the controls but gradually return towards the baseline levels at the end of 3 months post percutaneous management of the lesions. Conclusion: The inflammatory reaction is activated in pre-closure and self-limited post-closure in children with CHD. Percutaneous management could improve the inflammatory process, which is safe and effective in children with CHD.

Comparative study of the catalytic effect of Ag(I) and Hg(II) on the exchange of cyanide by 4-cyanopyridine in hexacyanoferrate(II): a kinetic approach

Journal of the Iranian Chemical Society, 2014

The exchange of cyanide by 4-cyanopyridine (4-CNpy) in hexacyanoferrate(II) was found to be catalyzed by both the catalysts under similar reaction conditions, and therefore used for the comparison. The effects of several experimental parameters on the substitution were studied at 477 nm; these include concentrations of ligand, complex, and catalysts, pH, ionic strength and temperature. The results showed that Hg(II) provided better catalytic effect than Ag(I) for the abstraction of cyanide ions. Activation energies were calculated for each case and found to be 55.30 and 52.13 kJmol−1, respectively, for Ag(I)-catalyzed and Hg(II)-catalyzed substitutions. The catalytic efficiencies for each catalyst were also calculated using Lineweaver–Burk plot and found to be 7.65 × 103 M−1s−1 for Ag(I) and 9.06 × 103 M−1s−1 for Hg(II), respectively.

Application of multi-objective genetic algorithms to multireservoir system optimization in the Han River basin

KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2006

The objective of multireservoir system optimization is to achieve an optimal reservoir operating ... more The objective of multireservoir system optimization is to achieve an optimal reservoir operating plan by the effective use of water resources. Many optimization techniques have been applied for the last decades, and researchers have recently interested in the heuristic approaches like evolutionary computation. This study proposes a methodology for applying multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGAs) to a multireservoir system optimization in the Han River basin. The second generation evolutionary multiobjective technique, NSGA-II, is used. The simulation model is applied to the Han River basin and the performance of the model is compared with the historical reservoir operation records. Two different cases are performed to evaluate the applicability of NSGA-II. Case 1 shows the basic performance of NSGA-II as applied to multireservoir system optimization, and Case 2 presents the methodology to discriminate the critical decision variables. In addition, the alternative releases and storages by NSGA-II are compared with the historical releases and storages. Cases 1 and 2 show that NSGA-II can be applied to multireservoir system optimization, and the alternative releases and storages computed using the results from NSGA-II can be used as the possible reservoir operating plans that supply more water resources to downstream than the historical releases.

LD(50) of acetonitrile (ATCN), acrylonitrile (ACN), malononitrile (MCN), propionitrile (PCN), sodium nitroprusside (SNP), and succinonitrile (SCN) was 4891, 143.3, 69.8, 122.9, 69.8 and 488.7 mg/kg, respectively while the protection index of A-KG (ratio of LD(50) of cyanogens in the presence or absence of A-KG) was&gt;2.0 against MCN (7.6), PCN (2.7) and SNP (3.6) only. We further studied the efficacy of A-KG against acute toxicity of these three cyanogens (0.75 LD(50)) on various hematological and biochemical variables in blood and soft tissues 24h post-exposure. We observed increase in white blood cells (SNP), plasma alanine (PCN, SNP) and aspartate (PCN) aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase (MCN, PCN, SNP), Na(+) (MCN, PCN) and cyanide (PCN), and decrease in K(+) (MCN, SNP) accompanied by an increase in brain, kidney and liver malondialdehyde (PCN), decrease in brain glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase (PCN, SNP), reduced glutathione (MCN, PCN, SNP) and cytochrome oxidase (PCN), liver rhodanese (PCN, SNP), and kidney cytochrome oxidase (PCN). The study indicates that (i) PCN was most toxic among all the cyanogens and (ii) beside cyanide, A-KG could be considered as an effective antidote for cyanogens.
