This research extends extant literature examining the relationship between IS use and performance. While prior theory has predominantly treated IS use as an antecedent of performance and hypothesized a positive effect of use on performance, this research provides an alternative perspective. Specifically, this paper theorizes that under certain contexts performance can be an antecedent of use an...

PURPOSE To determine the prevalence, nature, and degree of accommodative dysfunction among children with different types and severities of cerebral palsy (CP) in Northern Ireland.

Electric boilers (EBs) provide an alternative method to deal with the accommodation of curtailed wind power. To pursue minimum coal consumption in system, a dispatching model integrating combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants and EBs different locations is developed, penalty power curtailment cost EB employment are also incorporated model. The transmission loss transportation lag heat-supply netw...

Purpose To investigate the ratio of accommodative convergence per diopter of accommodative response (AC/A ratio) before, during, and after myopia onset. Methods Subjects were 698 children aged 6 to 14 years who became myopic and 430 emmetropic children participating in the Collaborative Longitudinal Evaluation of Ethnicity and Refractive Error. Refractive error was measured using cycloplegic ...
