This paper uses cognitive fit theory to analyze the problem solving process in spreadsheet analyses. Cognitive fit theory proposes the formation of mental representation as a part of the problem solving process. However, there is little research examining mental representation, which is a key concept in cognitive fit theory. This study examines the formation of mental representation and propose...

1. To characterize approaches to fit assessment and identification. 2. To characterize fit maintenance triggers and policies, and factors that should be considered for such decisions.

This paper serves as the introductory note to the Fifth Workshop on Business Process Modeling, Development, and Support (BPMDS’04). The workshop focuses on the exploration of issues related to the fit between business processes and Business Process Support (BPS) systems. BPS systems are IT based systems that are dedicated for the execution of business processes. Some degree of fit is necessary ...

Fit testing of tight-fitting respiratory protective facepieces has been in use for some years, but there are still widespread misconceptions and misunderstandings about what a fit test pass actually signifies. Various aspects frequently generate research papers, and there are three relevant ones in this issue (Han and Lee, 2005; Kuo et al., 2005; Vaughan and RajanSithamparanadarajah, 2005). In ...

We construct an analytical model of the mass distribution function of subhalos in a galaxy cluster in the context of the cold dark matter (CDM) theory. Our model takes account of two important effects; the high density of the precluster region and the spatial correlation of initial density fluctuations. For subhalos with small masses, the mass distribution function that our model predicts is in...
