This work in progress examines the roles that Trust in Technology (TRIT) and Computer Self-efficacy (CSE) play in predicting post-adoptive usage behavior. Under the umbrella of social cognitive theory, it uses attribution theory and the trust literature to develop an integrative model of trust and self-efficacy. Specifically, we posit that TRIT impacts users’ CSE and that these beliefs lead to ...

In this paper we report on the Flemish-Dutch Agency for Human Language Technologies (HLT Agency or TST-Centrale in Dutch) in the Low Countries. We present its activities in its first decade of existence. The main goal of the HLT Agency is to ensure the sustainability of linguistic resources for Dutch. 10 years after its inception, the HLT Agency faces new challenges and opportunities. An import...

There exists a balanced ternary design with block size 3 and index 2 on 2v P2 + 4 and 2v P2 + 1 elements with a hole of size v, for all positive integers v and P2, such that v ~ 2P2 + 1. As an application of this result, we determine the numbers of common triples in two simple balanced ternary designs with block size 3 and index 2, for P2 = 3 and 4.

421 As a matter of fact, they are from 5 different cognate ternary pairs as listed above. According to the definition cognate and the tardiness theory of the normalized ternary pair, cognate ternary pairs have the same normalization result. Therefore, any five of different cognate ternary pairs can represent total 15 different standard ternary pairs. We can select the first one from each monolo...

This paper describes the steps for minimization of ternary function i.e. three level logic using variable entered mapping technique. Here we applied VEM technique successfully to the ternary function and result is verified using truth table of given ternary equations. We also implemented simplified expression using decoder and ternary gates as well as using ternary multiplexer. It will be more ...

We study partially and totally associative ternary algebras of first and second kind. Assuming the vector space underlying a ternary algebra to be a topological space and a triple product to be continuous mapping we consider the trivial vector bundle over a ternary algebra and show that a triple product induces a structure of binary algebra in each fiber of this vector bundle. We find the suffi...

Experimental observation of Majorana fermion matter gives a new impetus to the understanding of the Lorentz symmetry and its extension, the geometrical properties of the ambient space-time structure, matter–antimatter symmetry and some new ways to understand the baryo–genesis problem in cosmology. Based on the primordial Majorana fermion matter assumption, we discuss a possibility to solve the ...

Little work has been completed which addresses the logical composition and use of ternary relationships in entity-relationship modeling. Many modeling notations and most CASE tools do not allow for ternary relationships. Alternative methods and substitutes for ternary relationship structures do not necessarily reflect the original logic, semantics or constraints of a given situation. Furthermor...

Copper, cadmium, and phthalic acid (H2Lp) adsorption by ferrihydrite was examined for binary and ternary systems. In binary systems adsorption was well reproduced using the diffuse layer model (DLM), and H2Lp adsorption was analogous to that of inorganic diprotic acids in terms of the relationship between the adsorption constants and acidity constants. In ternary systems H2Lp caused both the en...

We solve a problem of Petrova, finalizing the classification of letter patterns avoidable by ternary square-free words; we show that there is a ternary square-free word avoiding letter pattern xyzxzyx. In fact, we • characterize all the (two-way) infinite ternary square-free words avoiding letter pattern xyzxzyx • characterize the lexicographically least (one-way) infinite ternary square-free w...
