Innovations in financial services have created challenges for banks that Information Systems (IS) research can address. My interests involve transaction cost theory, substitution and complementarity theory, and consumer informedness theory to understand consumer behavior and firm performance in the omni-channel world of digital banking. At a high level, my research inquiry asks: How can financi...

|This paper describes a new method for superimposing virtual objects with correct shadings onto an image of a real scene. Unlike the previously proposed methods, our method can measure a radiance distribution of a real scene automatically and use it for superimposing virtual objects appropriately onto a real scene. First, a geometric model of the scene is constructed from a pair of omni-directi...

Current and emerging mobile devices are omni directional in wireless communication. Such omni directionality not only limits device energy efficiency but also poses a significant challenge toward the capacity of wireless networks through inter-link interference. In this work, we seek to make mobile clients directional with beamsteering. We first demonstrate that beamsteering is already feasible...

Myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) is a sialic acid-binding Ig-family lectin that functions in neuronal growth inhibition and stabilization of axon-glia interactions. The ectodomain of MAG is comprised of five Ig-like domains and uses neuronal cell-type-specific mechanisms to signal growth inhibition. We show that the first three Ig-like domains of MAG bind with high affinity and in a sialic ...

Omni-channel retailing has been an essential issue to enterprises nowadays. This research applies goal theory Engel-Kollat-Blackwell model in the omni-channel context and adapt concept of Harris, Riley & Hand (2018) shopper journey configurations, including search, evaluation, purchase decision making process. study selected iPhone as product collected 179 participants Gen Y 126 Z analyze s...

Current tomographic imaging systems need major improvements, especially when multidimensional, multi-scale, multi-temporal and multi-parametric phenomena are under investigation. Both preclinical and clinical imaging now depend on in vivo tomography, often requiring separate evaluations by different imaging modalities to define morphologic details, delineate interval changes due to disease or i...

This paper addresses the issue of development of a three wheel, four wheels and eight wheel Omni directional mobile robot. The Omni directional wheel is used in this research consists of 8 rollers made from synthetic rubber coated polypropylene rollers. All Omni wheel are independently powered using 3, 4 and 8 units of precision gear DC motors and the wheel/ motors assemblies where mounted dire...

This paper presents an omni-directional mobile microrobot for micro-assembly in a microfactory. A novel structure is designed for omni-directional movement with three normal wheels. The millimeter-sized microrobot is actuated by four electromagnetic micromotors whose size is 3.1 mm × 3.1 mm × 1.4 mm. Three of the micromotors are for translation and the other one is for steering. The micromotor ...

Video surveillance is watching an area for significant events. Perimeter security generally requires watching areas that afford trespassers reasonable cover and concealment. By definition, such “interesting” areas have limited visibility. Furthermore, targets of interest generally attempt to conceal themselves within the cover, sometimes adding camouflage to further reduce their visibility. Suc...

We present a four-category classification algorithm for the solar wind, based on Gaussian Process. The four categories are the ones previously adopted in Xu and Borovsky (2015): ejecta, coronal hole origin plasma, streamer belt origin plasma, and sector reversal origin plasma. The algorithm is trained and tested on a labeled portion of the OMNI data set. It uses seven inputs: the solar wind spe...
