Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر الدراسة ذات أهمية كبيرة في مجال تحسين كفاءة موانئ الحاويات في حوض البحر الأبيض المتوسط. ومع ذلك، يمكن توجيه بعض النقد البنّاء للدراسة. أولاً، اعتمدت الدراسة على بيانات من عام 2011 فقط، مما قد لا يعكس التغيرات الحديثة في الكفاءة والبنية التحتية. ثانياً، تم استبعاد بعض الموانئ بسبب تعذر الحصول على البيانات، مما قد يؤثر على شمولية النتائج. ثالثاً، كان من الممكن أن تكون الدراسة أكثر شمولية إذا تضمنت مقارنة مع موانئ من مناطق أخرى خارج البحر الأبيض المتوسط. وأخيراً، لم تتناول الدراسة بشكل كافٍ تأثير العوامل البيئية والسياسية على كفاءة الموانئ.

In the light of the circumstances in the contemporary world of privatization, this research aims to study the effect of the privatization on the technical efficiency of container terminal using Stochastic Frontier Analysis, the study has applied on t he most important Mediterranean container terminals. The results concluded that the technical efficiency rate was 76.17%. The full private ownership of container terminals does not reflect the high levels of technical efficiency. The full public ownership of container terminals also did not reflect the high levels of technical efficiency, but it is the best of the private sector. However, the technical efficiency of public container terminal can be improved with participation of the private sector, and advised partnership between the public sector and the private sector with rate of 38.5% according to the results of research.
Container terminals are different in the degree of service for container ships, which increased recently and especially in the Mediterranean, also differ in use of the amount of inputs required for operational process, which create the problem of d eclining technical efficiency of container terminals Mediterranean. Therefore, the researcher measured the efficiency (12) a major container terminal in the Mediterranean in 2010, using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Where the inputs: Number of quay cranes, and space of terminal, and the output was the annual throughput of containers. The practical results showed that the rate of technical efficiency – (CRS) was 49%, while the rate of technical efficiency – (VRS) 69.3%. Tangier container terminal achieved the best level of technical and scale efficiency, While Mersin, Algeciras, and Tartous achieved the technical efficiency only, while remaining terminals did not achieve any efficiency, Therefore advisable to reconsider in their used inputs to improve their efficiency.
This study aimed to measure technical efficiency of Islamic banks in Syria. This study used data envelopment analysis (DEA) method to estimate overall, pure and scale technical efficiency during the period (2010-2015). to that end, constant return to scale model and variable return to scale model was used. It has also been using windows analysis technique in order to follow banks performance during the studied period. This study also followed Intermediation approach for the choice of variables banking inputs and outputs.
This study aims at measuring the cost performance efficiency of Syrian banking sector during the period 2006-2010. The selected period has been going through a lot of reforms to build an effective, efficient, competitive, and stable banking system . The study employs both parametric Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA), and non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). These methods are used to evaluate the cost efficiency of Syrian banks. The study utilizes a one stage SFA model that includes input, outputs and the environmental variables (ownership structure, size, deregulation, market structure, and capital ratio) of cost efficiency measurements. Moreover, the traditional DEA model has been used with the aim of comparing the results of the SFA model. The results of SFA analysis indicate that the cost efficiency of Syrian banks is estimated to be, on average, 58.8%, while the DEA model results shows an average of 69.5%, the results also show that private banks are more efficient than state-owned banks using both SFA and DEA analysis. The study also found that large banks are more efficient than smaller banks.
In this paper, A random modeling has been performed for gyroscopes' components noise in unit measurements inertial Crossbow IMU400CD MEMS by Alan Variance. Three random components were discriminated in the noise sensors in addition to the estimat ed coefficients of these components, while the technical bulletin did not mention but one component. Knowing the random noise type gives the ability to use it as an output component of the navigational system; estimating it with the navigation support means such as GPS or magnetic compass or ... etc. enables to correct gyroscopes out. Inertial sensors Gyroscopes are gaining nowadays more and more research interest in a variety of transport fields (i. e. land, sea and air). Recent efforts are going towards developing those traditional electromechanical models to electronic manufacturer microenvironment technology called Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS). But in return MEMS gyroscopes suffer precision low when compared to other types as a result of errors, many appear on the output of particular random errors that can't be deleted methodologies calibration known, so it is classified as a type of noise or random processes where they are modeled using random modeling techniques stochastic Modeling to identify and distinguish types of noise in the sensor output. Among the most famous of these techniques mode Allan Variance (AV).
