INTRODUCTION Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has an estimated prevalence of 0.9% in India (5.2 million). Anti-retroviral drugs (ARV) are the treatments of choice and non-adherence is an important factor in treatment failure and development of resistance, as well as being a powerful predictor of survival. This study assesses adherence to ARV in HIV positive patients in Bangalore, India, a cou...

This pilot study aimed to explore technical and social antecedents and benefits of KMS use in a petroleum company in Oman. Data was collected through questionnaire given to KMS users. From the technical perspective, results uncovered that both knowledge utilizers and contributors were concerned about the system ease of use, speed and integration. Knowledge utilizers also valued knowledge richne...

To any periodic and full C∗–dynamical system (A, α,R) a certain invertible operator s acting on the Banach space of trace functionals of the fixed point algebra is canonically associated. KMS states correspond to positive eigenvectors of s. A Perron–Frobenius theorem asserts the existence of KMS states at inverse temperatures the logarithm of the inner and outer spectral radii of s. Such KMS st...

Supernova remnant (SNR) Kes 69 is morphologically characterized by the brightened radio, infrared, and X-ray emission on the southeastern rim, with the 1720 MHz OH masers detected in northeastern and southeastern regions at various LSR velocities. We have performed a millimeter observation in CO and HCO lines toward Kes 69. From the northeastern compact maser region, the CO and CO emission’s pe...

Organizations invest heavily in knowledge management systems (KMS) to improve integration of knowledge across different contexts, to foster new insights and produce innovation. Yet many initiatives fail. This research investigates how knowledge workers’ innovativeness and knowledge reuse are affected by different aspects of perceived support for innovation and the KMS they use to support their ...

The absence of high velocity redshifted forbidden lines in classical T-Tauri stars (Appenzeller et al. 1984; Edwards et al. 1987) has long be taken as evidence of opaque circumstellar disks: disks which occlude the receding component of the stellar wind or outflow, allowing only the blueshifted emission to be observed. There has been some controversy in the literature recently as to whether a d...

This empirical study was carried out to investigate the impact of ICT-based knowledge management systems (KMS) of varying sophistication on decision support in varying decision contexts. The results indicate that the positive impact of KMS sophistication was limited to simple decision contexts only. In simple contexts, the availability of more sophisticated KMS led to more intensive balanced us...

The purpose of the study was to establish which of (i) age (ii) gender and (iii) organizational culture is a correlate of use of knowledge management systems (KMS) among teachers, senior administrators and postgraduate students in Makerere University. The study was a co-relational and crosssectional survey biased to the quantitative approach, involving 444 respondents from the University, from ...
