Modeling Undesirable Factors In Efficiency Evaluation With An Application To The Malaysian Manufacturing Sector / Noor Asiah Bt Ramli, Noor Asiah Ramli

Student Works (2010-2019)

Efficiency measurement must reflect the realities of production activities. In the manufacturing sector, emissions from fossil fuel combustion, which are acknowledged as being undesirable outputs, should be taken into account in efficiency measurement, since they are produced jointly with desirable outputs. This type of measurement is referred to as eco-efficiency. To analyze eco-efficiency, the Directional Distance Function (DDF) has been a popular approach. However, there is a drawback to the DDF model where the direction vector to the production boundary is fixed arbitrarily, and, hence, may not provide the best efficiency measures. The main purpose of this study is twofold. …

Student Works (2010-2019)

Hump-nosed pit viper (Hypnale hypnale) is a medically important snake in Sri Lanka and Western Ghats of India. Envenomation by this snake still lacks effective antivenom clinically. The species is also often misidentified, resulting in inappropriate treatment. The median lethal dose (LD50) of H. hypnale venom varies from 0.9 μg/g intravenously to 13.7 μg/g intramuscularly in mice. The venom shows procoagulant, hemorrhagic, necrotic, and various enzymatic activities including those of proteases, phospholipases A2 and L-amino acid oxidases which have been partially purified. The monovalent Malayan pit viper antivenom and Hemato polyvalent antivenom (HPA) from Thailand effectively cross-neutralized the venom’s lethality …
