The main objective of this study was to identify the critical factors that affecting the implementation of environmental management systems (EMSs) of manufacturing SMEs in Sri Lanka. Out of twelve factors, management commitment, professional expertise, financial resources, stakeholders and...

In this paper, a full-Newton step feasible interior-point algorithm is proposed for solving <InlineEquation ID="IEq3"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$P_*(\kappa )$$</EquationSource> <EquationSource Format="MATHML"> <math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <mrow> <msub> <mi>P</mi> <mo>∗</mo> </msub> <mrow> <mo stretchy="false">(</mo> <mi mathvariant="italic">κ</mi> <mo stretchy="false">)</mo> </mrow> </mrow> </math> </EquationSource> </InlineEquation>-linear complementarity problems. We prove that the full-Newton step to the central path is local quadratically convergent and the proposed algorithm has...</equationsource></equationsource></inlineequation>

The active Chihshang fault in the southern segment of longitudinal valley of eastern Taiwan is part of the suture boundary between the Eurasia plate and the Philippine Sea plate. Radon anomalies in groundwater were recorded prior to three major earthquakes—(1) 2003 M <Subscript>w</Subscript> = 6.8 Chengkung, (2)...</subscript>

This paper focuses on identifying relatively efficient configurations of algorithmic operators among a set of configurations in the development of heuristics or meta-heuristics. Each configuration is considered as a decision-making unit with multiple inputs and outputs. Then, data envelopment...
