Air cargo parties are becoming increasingb aware of the importance of Information Technology and more and more, they are understanding the value which Information Technology could provide for the total value chain performance. However, whereas in other sectors Information Technology has scored big successes, there are no real signs of successful global cotnmuni~ systems in the air cargo communi...

The cultural diversity of users of technology challenges our methods for usability evaluation. In this paper we report on a multi-site, cross-cultural grounded theory field study of think aloud testing in seven companies in three countries (Denmark, China and India). The theoretical model that emerges from the data suggests that the production of a usability problem list is multi-causal and sub...

Organizations face increased pressures to continually advance knowledge and new technologies for their long-term success and prosperity. University research centers offer important interorganizational linkages for industry–university collaboration, conducive for advancing knowledge and new technologies. This study examined industry’s strategic objectives for establishing relationships with univ...

This article presents and empirically evaluates a conceptual mode/of how training can impact the acceptance of information systems within the organization. Specifically, the training of end users is explored via an extensive field study of 1 O0 middleand upper-level managers from 20 companies. The results indicate that (1) a positive relationship exists between the computer-related training an ...

The realization of benefits from IS/IT investments has consistently been reported as one of the major challenges of organizations. This paper reports on the findings from an exploratory field study on how benefits management success ultimately contributes to better IS/IT exploitation. A total of 34 semistructured interviews were held within 29 organizations. The study applies resource-based the...

Background: Lower lung field tuberculosis is atypical presentation of pulmonary tuberculosis which often causes confusion in diagnosis. HIV/AIDS epidemic has considerably increased its incidence. This study was designed to identify the prevalence and different clinical conditions of lung tuberculosis in conjunction with its common clinical and radiological presentations and its treatment. Metho...

We model the Sun's large-scale magnetic field and total solar irradiance (TSI) since 1700 by combining flux transport simulations with empirical relationships between facular brightening, sunspot darkening, photospheric flux. The is evolved subject to constraints that (1) emergence rate scales as yearly numbers, (2) polar strength at minimum proportional amplitude of following cycle. Simulation...

Abstract. The geodetic and geophysical literature shows an abundance of mascon approaches for modelling the gravity field Moon or Earth on global regional scales. This article illustrates differences similarities between methods, which are labelled as by their authors. Point mass mascons planar disc were developed lunar from Doppler tracking data. These early models had to consider restrictions...

As aircraft designs become more complex, automationhas become an important factor in improving safety and reliability. Automated flight control systems can respond intelligently to faults when it is impractical for a human to take control quickly. In recent years neural networks have been proposed for fault identification and accommodation purposes within flight control schemes because they are...
