A Century of Nature brings together in one volume Nature's greatest hits-reproductions of seminal contributions that changed science and the world, accompanied by essays written by leading scientists (including four Nobel laureates) that provide historical context for each article, explain its insights in graceful, accessible prose, and celebrate the serendipity of discovery and the rewards of searching for needles in haystacks. 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects$xHistory 606 $aDiscoveries in science 606 $aScience and civilization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aDiscoveries in science. 615 0$aScience and civilization. 676 $a500 686 $aTB 2385$2rvk 701 $aGarwin$b Laura$0919316 701 $aLincoln$b Tim$0919317 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458914903321 996 $aA century of nature$92061838 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03349nam 22006135 450 001 9910734894403321 005 20251008131247.0 010 $a3-031-30701-1 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-30701-0 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC30618231 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL30618231 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-30701-0 035 $a(PPN)272250295 035 $a(CKB)27459019000041 035 $a(EXLCZ)9927459019000041 100 $a20230704d2023 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aData Envelopment Analysis with GAMS $eA Handbook on Productivity Analysis and Performance Measurement /$fby Ali Emrouznejad, Konstantinos Petridis, Vincent Charles 205 $a1st ed. 2023. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2023. 215 $a1 online resource (160 pages) 225 1 $aInternational Series in Operations Research & Management Science,$x2214-7934 ;$v338 311 08$aPrint version: Emrouznejad, Ali Data Envelopment Analysis with GAMS Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023 9783031307003 327 $aIntroduction to GAMS -- Introduction to Data Envelopment Analysis -- Extensions of DEA models -- Non-radial DEA models -- Allocative, cost, technical, revenue, and profit efficiency -- Special cases in DEA -- Productivity change -- Concluding remarks. 330 $aThis book provides a comprehensive and practical introduction to Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). It explains how this non-parametric technique is used to measure performance and extract efficiency from homogeneous entities within a production procedure. It situates DEA within a growing field of productivity analysis and performance measurement, for which numerous models have been proposed. This book encapsulates all of the advances in DEA models proposed in the literature. These models are presented in the context of the GAMS software, which is a powerful tool for mathematical programming models. This book serves two educational purposes: it introduces readers to DEA models and provides examples using GAMS. In addition, the reader is introduced to GAMS programming, as well as innovative and practical applications. GAMS codes are available for free, allowing readers to test and expand the models to meet their specific needs. 410 0$aInternational Series in Operations Research & Management Science,$x2214-7934 ;$v338 606 $aOperations research 606 $aEconomics 606 $aManagement science 606 $aOperations Research and Decision Theory 606 $aEconomics 606 $aOperations Research, Management Science 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aManagement science. 615 14$aOperations Research and Decision Theory. 615 24$aEconomics. 615 24$aOperations Research, Management Science. 676 $a658.5036 676 $a658.5036 700 $aEmrouznejad$b Ali$0993586 701 $aPetridis$b Konstantinos$01372902 701 $aCharles$b Vincent$0967435 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734894403321 996 $aData Envelopment Analysis with GAMS$93403813 997 $aUNINA
