Expectancy Theory and Behavioral Intentions to Use Computer Applications

Expectancy Theory and Behavioral Intentions to Use Computer Applications

A theoretically sound model linking antecedents of an organizationally new software implementation to behavioral intentions to use this software is presented and empirically tested. The organization is a university in the United States and the users are primarily faculty. The antecedents of previous computer experience, ease of system use, and administrator support for the software are linked t...

Expectancy change and adolescents' intentions to use marijuana.

Drug prevention campaigns commonly seek to change outcome expectancies associated with substance use, but the effects of violating such expectancies are rarely considered. This study details an application of the expectancy violation framework in a real world context by investigating whether changes in marijuana expectations are associated with subsequent future marijuana intentions. A cohort o...

Applications of Information Theory to Computer Graphics

We present in this talk several applications of Information Theory to Computer Graphics, based on the use of the measures of entropy and mutual information, f-divergences and generalized entropies. Application areas presented are hierarchical radiosity, adaptive pixel supersampling, selection of best view-points, object and scene exploration, mesh saliency, mesh simplification and object recogn...

Applications of subordination theory to starlike functions

Let $p$ be an analytic function defined on the open unit disc $mathbb{D}$ with $p(0)=1.$ The conditions on $alpha$ and $beta$ are derived for $p(z)$ to be subordinate to $1+4z/3+2z^{2}/3=:varphi_{C}(z)$ when $(1-alpha)p(z)+alpha p^{2}(z)+beta zp'(z)/p(z)$ is subordinate to $e^{z}$. Similar problems were investigated for $p(z)$ to lie in a region bounded by lemniscate of Bernoulli $|w^{2}-1|=1$ ...
