The current paper proposes a slack-based version of the Super SBM, which is an alternative super-efficiency model for the SBM proposed by Tone. Our two-stage approach provides the same super-efficiency score as that obtained by the Super SBM model when the evaluated DMU is efficient and yields...

This study examined the operational characteristics of an air-oil furnace adapted for oxy-oil combustion. A 300kWth multi-fuel combustion test furnace at National Cheng-Kung University in Tainan, Taiwan was chosen as the experimental facility. The effect of oxygen enrichment (from 21% to 100%)...

The restriction on direct shipping across the Taiwan Strait under which ships registered in Taiwan were banned from calling at China's ports might have restricted the expansion of the Taiwanese flagged fleet. The cross-strait direct shipping link was established since the Cross-strait Sea...
