This study explored the relationship between psychological contract breach and ethical decisionmaking intention. Previous studies analyzed the relation mainly from the Western cultural perspective, thus leaving the Eastern context. In this regard, the present study examined the cross-level moderating effect of ethical climate on variables at the individual level. Forty state-owned and private c...

Worldwide 83% of large dams are embankment structures (ICOLD, 1984), and the proportion is even greater for small dams. Embankment overtopping and breach is an important issue, and the Discusser congratulates the Author for his worthwhile contribution which complements the comprehensive study of Coleman et al. (2002). This discussion is focused on the breach development stage. It is shown that ...

IT managers often struggle to justify investments in information security. In addition to standard quantitative analyses such as Return on Security Investment (ROSI), executive management may also want to know what the effect of potential security breaches would be on the market value of a publicly-traded firm. This study attempts to shed light on the issue by examining the impact of informatio...

Determining the required number of sensors to be deployed is a critical decision for surveillance wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we discuss the trade-off between the number of sensors and the breach detection probability considering the effects of sensor parameters. We present the weakest breach path problem formulation and provide a solution by utilizing the Dijkstra’s shortest path ...

The graphical user interface (GUI) is an important component of many software systems. Past surveys indicate that the development of a GUI is a significant undertaking and that the GUI’s source code often comprises a substantial portion of the program’s overall source base. Graphical user interface creation frameworks for popular objectoriented programming languages enable the rapid constructio...

Of late, there has been a rise in the use of touchscreens in many handheld devices, one in particular being the smartphone. Accompanying this is a myriad of smartphone platforms, each of which boasts a user-friendly GUI in its own accord. One of the major aspects of smartphones is the GUI, since this is the aspect with which users interact. This paper is centered on GUI design theory and explor...

The establishment of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises two major parts, the systematically distributed and wirelessly connected nodes and the base station to demonstrate the information collected by the network. To enhance the features of the wireless sensor network, a smart GUI is designed and implemented at the base station, to monitor the environmental parameters, for which the Wireles...
