Much IS adoption research has examined factors related to one’s intrinsic interests in IT, such as computer playfulness and personal innovativeness, and their various implications for adoption and use. But why are certain people more playful and innovative with technology than others in the first place? Prior IS research provides few answers as to the origins of these intrinsic motivators. Buil...

We find the first examples of triply periodic minimal surfaces of which the intrinsic symmetries are all of horizontal type.

Our submission this year is generated by the same method Encoplot that we have developed for the last year competition. There is a single improvement, we compare in addition each suspicious document with each other and flag the passages most probably in correspondence as intrinsic plagiarism.

Abstract. For minimal surfaces in spheres, there is a well known conjecture about the quantization of intrinsic curvature which has been solved only in special cases so far. We recall an intrinsic and an extrinsic version for the known results and extend them to compact non-minimal surfaces in spheres. In particular we discuss special classes like Willmore surfaces and surfaces with parallel me...

Understanding the machine-type communication (MTC) traffic is a key for designing and optimizing a network and the applicable QoS scheme capable of providing adequate communication services without compromising the conventional services such as data, voice, and video. In this paper, we propose a framework for traffic modeling, generation, and load estimation for machine-type communication that ...

subject analysis of the potential of spontaneous combustion in coal layers with analytical and numerical methods has been always considered as a difficult task because of the complexity of the coal behavior and the number of factors influencing it. empirical methods, due to accounting for certain and specific factors, have not accuracy and efficiency for all positions. the rock engineering syst...
