Textural attributes of cooked rice (100 samples) were predicted using pasting properties. Two textural attributes (hardness and stickiness) were evaluated by a texture analyzer and seven pasting-property parameters as well as profile data measured by a rapid visco-analyzer (RVA) were used to evaluate predictive models of the textural attributes using Partial Least Squares Regression. The textur...

Organizations have become increasingly dependent on teams to carry out their R&D tasks. Effective teams rely on knowledge sharing and group cohesiveness to achieve better performance. In particular, the transactive memory system (TMS) and trust are two important factors that impact knowledge sharing in R&D teams. To date, there has been relatively little empirical investigation of the effects o...

Online learning has witnessed an increasing interest over the recent past due to its low computational requirements and relevance a broad range of streaming applications. In this brief, we focus on online regularized regression. We propose novel efficient regression algorithm, called normalized least-squares (ONLS). perform theoretical analysis by comparing total loss ONLS against gradient desc...

Over the past decade, numerous studies examined the critical factors that affect the learning outcomes and student satisfaction in asynchronous online learning courses including learning management systems (LMS). This research focuses on the effects of learner’s psychological variables (e.g., self-efficacy) and psychological learning process (e.g., self-regulated learning management) on student...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) [8] is a powerful process to help people to express priorities and make the best decision when both qualitative and quantitative aspects of a decision need to be considered. In this paper, in order to eliminate the influence of outliers, we use an approach based on Robust Partial Least Squares (R-PLS)[12] regression for the computation of the values for the ...

While most firms suffer severe impacts from recessions, other firms are less affected or even prosper in these moments. Nevertheless, strategic management has made little progress in understanding the reasons for these differences in performance. We build on the Resource-based view of the firm (RBV) and its relationships with theories on entrepreneurship, improvisation and flexibility to create...
