Petroleum-contaminated groundwater remediation systems design: A data envelopment analysis based approach
TL;DR: A hybrid decision support approach based on data envelopment analysis will be applied to a case study of designing a groundwater remediation system at a petroleum-contaminated site in western Canada, finding the most preferable design alternative to provide effective decision support for cleaning up the contaminated site.
Application of Data Envelopment Analysis to Evaluate Efficiency of Commercial Greenhouse Strawberry
TL;DR: In this paper, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique was applied to investigate the degree of technical and scale efficiency of greenhouse strawberries of Iran, also to compare and optimize the performance of each greenhouse.
Improvement of cost efficiency in strawberry greenhouses by data envelopment analysis.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to investigate the technical and scale efficiency of Iranian greenhouse strawberry production and found that the most wastage of cost is fertilizers and greenhouses can save 29% of that by improving management practices.
