Analyzing information technology (IT) success factors is not a recent academic and practical interest. The last two decades have been rich in studies exploring the phenomenon of IT success/failure in both private and public organizations. However, many of the previous studies hypothesized only direct effects and did not allow more complex relationships between different categories of factors. B...

Earth Observing 1 (EO-1) Hyperion and Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) imagery were used to predict canopy nitrogen (N) concentration for mixed oak forests of Green Ridge State Forest in Maryland. Nitrogen concentration was estimated for 27 ground plots using leaf samples of the dominant tree species from each plot that were dried, ground and analyzed in the laboratory fo...

Control and governance of corporate IT departments have become quite critical in organizations due to enormous size of their expenditure. Surprisingly, this topic is rarely discussed in management accounting and IS literature. In this paper, we present a research model that examines the relationship between the design and use of management control systems and their direct or indirect impact on ...

Knowledge sharing and absorption are required to achieve and sustain competitive advantage. Firms’ dynamic capabilities assist in mediating the effects of knowledge sharing and absorption on organizational innovation performance. Therefore, this study proposed a conceptual model to investigate the relationships among knowledge sharing capability, absorptive capability, dynamic capability, and o...

The application of crop residue has become increasingly important for providing a barrier against water and wind erosion and improving soil organic matter content, infiltration, evaporation, temperature, and soil structure. The objectives of this work were to: (i) estimate maize residue cover (MRC) from Landsat-8 OLI images using seven vegetation indices (VIs) and eight textural features; and (...

E-learning systems such as the learning management systems are widely used in higher education. However, much of the research on e-learning systems focuses on the technology and is limited to the adoption and utilization e-learning systems. In order to develop the potential advantages of e-learning systems, research that addresses the outcomes of the adoption and use of e-learning system is nee...

This article reports on a study that investigates the knowledge transfer between an information systems/ technology (IS/IT) department and non-IT departments during IT projects. More specifically, we look into the link between the knowledge management capabilities of the IT department and the effectiveness and efficiency of the knowledge transfer to a client department. Knowledge management (KM...

The use of spectral features to estimate leaf area index (LAI) is generally considered a challenging task for hyperspectral data. In this study, the hyperspectral reflectance of winter wheat was selected to optimize the selection of spectral features and to evaluate their performance in modeling LAI at various growth stages during 2008 and 2009. We extracted hyperspectral features using differe...

Introduction. This research addresses a primary issue that involves motivating academics to share knowledge. Adapting the theory of reasoned action, this study examines the role of motivation that consists of intrinsic motivators (commitment; enjoyment in helping others) and extrinsic motivators (reputation; organizational rewards) to determine and explain the behaviour of Malaysian academics i...

In this paper, the estimation of physical properties from hyperspectral data with support vectors machines is addressed. Several kernel functions are used, from classical to advanced ones. The results are compared with Gaussian Regularized Sliced Inversion Regression and Partial Least Squares, both in terms of accuracy and complexity. Experiments on simulated data show that SVM produce highly a...
