New non-parametric efficiency measures : an application to the U.S. brewing industry

Creator:: Zelenyuk, Valentin
Abstract:: This study focuses on the development of new, non-parametric efficiency measures based on the idea of aggregation via merging functions. We use Shephard's (1970) axiomatic approach of distance functions as the basis for theoretical methodology. In particular, this approach is a background for non-parametric efficiency measures defined on a linearly...

Pathogenicity and Management of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes on Vitis vinifera in Oregon Vineyards : 1998-1999

Creator:: Pinkerton, Jack and Candolfi-Vasconcelos, M. Carmo
Abstract:: Plant-pathogenic nematodes that cause yield loss in California and European vineyards are found in over 85% of Oregon vineyards. Population densities of Xiphinema americanum (dagger nematode) and Criconemella xenoplax (ring nematode) were found in 37% of vineyards at levels reported to cause 10-25% loss in California vineyards. However, these nematode...

Abstract:: The closed insulated pallet system (CIPS) was evaluated for growth, yield, and fruit quality of tomato genotypes with determinate growth habit. Plants were irrigated with several levels of sodium chloride (NaCl) salinized water. Tomato growth and yield were significantly greater in CIPS than in conventional surface-irrigated containers, regardless of irrigation...
