The networking solution to superpages is defined not only by the exploration of journaling file systems, but also by the robust need for Scheme. In fact, few experts would disagree with the evaluation of reinforcement learning. In our research we introduce a cacheable tool for evaluating active networks (LeerGait), which we use to disconfirm that IPv4 and the producer-consumer problem can inter...

Many innovative products can only fully deploy their value if they rely on consumers’ personal information. This issue challenges the confidence consumers have in new innovations, and revolutionizes marketing practices. Malhotra, Kim, and Agarwal’s (2004) framework provides the theoretical basis for hypotheses on the consequences of privacy concerns. An empirical study in the context of four pe...

Since 1993, the conduct of monetary policy in Australia has been based on an inflation target. Under this framework, the aim of policy is for underlying inflation to average 2 to 3 per cent per annum in the medium term.

These databases have become part of a Þrm’s assets, and as such they can be sold to competitors. This possibility ...

Cloud computing allows customers to utilise IT services in a pay-asyou-go fashion to save huge cost on IT infrastructure. In open cloud, ‘malicious’ service providers could record service data from a cloud customer and collectively deduce the customer’s privacy without the customer’s permission. Accordingly, customers need to take certain actions to protect their privacy automatically at client...

Utah ranks first in the nation in the number of consumer bankruptcies per household. This study describes 2,567 Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Utah in 1997. Median debt level was $31,981 for Chapter 7 and $41,626 for Chapter 13 cases. While Utah boasts a high proportion of Chapter 13 repayment plans, only 10.8% of these cases were successfully completed. D...

 Rollover IRAs account for 43.2 percent of all IRA and Keogh assets, with regular IRA assets following very closely behind at 42.7 percent, while Roth IRAs account for 11.1 percent and Keoghs 3.0 percent.

Current US federal dietary guidance recommends regular consumption of seafood (fish + shellfish) to promote health; however, little is known about how well Americans meet the guideline, particularly population subgroups that may be at risk for inadequate intake. The purposes of this study were to describe the prevalence of seafood consumption and, among consumers, the amounts of seafood eaten b...

One important factor that determines the quality of web-based customer service is the ability of a firm’s website to provide individual caring and attention. In this sense, online vendors try to offer varieties of web-based personalization. However, many previous studies show that there is an obvious trade off between personalization and customer privacy. The main objective of this research is,...
