relative efficiencies can be determined and targets for inefficient units set. The paper also considers a number of practical issues of concern in applying the technique. Introduction There is an increasing concern with measuring and comparing the efficiency of organisational units such as local authority departments, schools, hospitals, shops, bank branches and similar instances where there is a relatively homogeneous set of units. The usual measure of efficiency, i.e.: [pic] is often inadequate

Procedure of Creating Dimensionless Groups 1. List all Variables that are included in the problem 2. Express each variable in terms of basic dimension 3. Determine the required number of pi terms 4. Select a number of repeating variables 5. Form a pi term by multiplying one of the non repeating variable by the product of repeating variables each raised to an exponent that will make the combination dimensionless 6. Repeat step 5 7. Check all the resulting pi terms

1. Introduction Cluster analysis or clustering is the task of grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar (in some sense or another) to each other than to those in other groups (clusters). Cluster analysis is an unsupervised form of learning, which means, that it doesn't use class labels. This is different from methods like discriminant analysis which use class labels and come under the category of supervised learning. K-means is the

sender, who wants to send a message securely to someone, use public key of receiver to encrypt the message and receiver use his private key to decrypt the message.This system doesn’t require secure key transmission.So, it resolves the one of the problem faced by symmetric key cryptosystem. If someone is able to compute respective private key from a given public key, then this system is no more secure. So, Public key cryptosystem requires that calculation of respective private key is computationally

CSP Problem Set 6.1 How many solutions are there for the map-coloring problem in Figure 6.1? How many solutions if four colors are allowed? Two colors? Answer: we are looking at a map of Australia showing each of its states and territories, as in Figure 6.1, and that we are given the task of coloring each region either red, green, or blue in such a way that no neighboring regions have the same color. To formulate this as a CSP, we define the variables to be the regions: WA, NT, Q
