The advent of technology as inputs in the realization of organizational productivity enhancement has prompted researchers to study the determinants that make certain the successful acceptance of new technologies especially information technology among users. Many studies have looked into framing variables from the existing established theories of technology user acceptance but fall short in int...

introduction: the use of cartilage as a grafting material has been advocated in cases where there is a high risk of graft failure, such as subtotal perforations, adhesive processes, and residual defects after primary tympanoplasties. the purpose of this study was to compare the graft acceptance rates and auditory outcomes of cartilage tympanoplasty operations using a palisade technique with tho...

The Privacy-by-Design approach has gained an increasing acceptance for privacy management in the privacy community. However, there is still a research gap in methodologies for implementing this approach and a need to develop frameworks and systems to support Privacy-by-Design practice. In an attempt to bridge this gap, this paper uncovers hidden issues of the Privacy-by-Design approach as a mea...

While sophisticated systems for both process control and production planning enjoy a wide industrial acceptance, tools for batch process scheduling represent a serious gap in the fully automated batch plant. Despite over fifteen years of academic research in batch scheduling algorithms and Moore’s law increases in computing power, spreadsheets and calculators remain the state-of-the-art means f...

This paper is aimed at investigating the influence of different types of traffic flows on the capacity of freeway merge areas. Based on the classical gap-acceptance model, two calculating models were established specifically considering randomly arriving vehicles and individual difference in driving behaviours. Monte-Carlo simulation was implemented to reproduce the maximum traffic volume on th...
