Analysis of Energy Efficiency for Coal-fired Power Units Based on Data Envelopment Analysis Model
Abstract In this article, the non-parametric data envelopment analysis method (DEA) is employed to evaluate energy efficiency (EE) of coal-fired power units in China. The data set contains inputs and outputs of 34 coal-fired power units with the...

Beachrock: A tool for reconstructing relative sea level in the far-field
Abstract Today's understanding of sea-level change developed through a combination of process-based physical modelling and observational data. Observational data of sea-level change derives from coral reefs in the far-field of the former ice sheets...

Finding Optimal Timetables for Edinburgh Bus Routes
Abstract We present a novel application of stochastic simulation and model-checking methods to determining whether bus services are fulfilling their service-level agreement to provide on-time departures of buses from stops sufficiently often. We use ...

CRUST: Software for the implementation of Regional Chronology Standardisation: Part 2. Further RCS options and recommendations
Abstract A number of processing options associated with the use of a “regional curve” to standardise tree-ring measurements and generate a chronology representing changing tree growth over time are discussed. It is shown that failing to use pith...

Reducing systematic review workload through certainty-based screening
Abstract In systematic reviews, the growing number of published studies imposes a significant screening workload on reviewers. Active learning is a promising approach to reduce the workload by automating some of the screening decisions, but it has...

Synoptic conditions governing upwelling along the Polish Baltic coast
Abstract The study analyses atmospheric feedback to the occurrence of upwelling along the Polish Baltic coast. Upwelling events were identified on the basis of daily mean sea surface temperature (SST) maps from the period 1982–2010 derived from the...
