  4. 7. Supply chain optimisation and market coordinated inventory control

    Author : Reza Samadi; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Business administration; Företagsekonomi;

    Abstract : This thesis examines serial supply chains in a decentralised, market-basedenvironment. It tries to explain the existing world of decentralized supplychains through a novel modelling approach. The actors in the chain are independentand interact through a “Cournot” game in inventory policies (orderlevels) and pricing (mark-ups). READ MORE

  5. 8. Techniques to Cancel Execution Early to Improve Processor Efficiency

    Author : Mafijul Islam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; processor design; energy-efficiency; narrow-width cache; instruction reuse; zero-value cache; resource-efficient; narrow-width load; complexity-effective; small value locality; register file cache; frequent value locality; trivial instruction; silent load; high-performance; zero load;

    Abstract : The evolution of computer systems to continuously improve execution efficiency has traditionally embraced various approaches across microprocessor generations. Unfortunately, contemporary processors still suffer from several inefficiencies although they offer an unprecedented level of computing capabilities. READ MORE

  6. 9. Efficiency in Education - A Multilevel Analysis

    Author : Staffan Waldo; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic systems; economic policy; Nationalekonomi; ekonometri; ekonomisk teori; ekonomiska system; ekonomisk politik; economic theory; econometrics; Data Envelopment Analysis; Economics; Education; Efficiency;

    Abstract : Sweden spends altogether about 4.5% of GDP on primary, secondary and upper secondary school. Considering the magnitude of this investment it is important that these resources are used efficiently. In this thesis efficiency in public education is analysed on three different levels: The municipal level, the school level, and the individual level. READ MORE

  7. 10. On the efficiency of the Bayesian bootstrap

    Author : Raul Cano; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Poisson-fördelning;

    Abstract : The efficiency of the Bayesian bootstrap is treated for large and small samples from infinite and finite populations. The Bayesian bootstrap is compared with nonparametric and parametric Bayesian methods in the infinite case, for large samples and considering the mean and truncation functionals. READ MORE
