Nonstoichiometric GeSixOy glass films and many-layer structures based on them were obtained by high-vacuum electron beam vapor deposition (EBVD). Using EBVD, the GeO2, SiO, SiO2, or Ge powders co-evaporated deposited onto a cold (100 °C) p+-Si(001) substrate with resistivity ρ = 0.0016 ± 0.0001 Ohm·cm. The as-deposited samples studied Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, atomic force micr...

BACKGROUND The past 2 decades have seen a rapid integration of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to pediatric surgical practice. This study endeavored to delineate the current status of MIS in pediatric surgery. METHODS Three hundred six pediatric surgeons were invited to participate in an anonymous Web-based survey. Apart from demographic details and opinion regarding robotic surgery, surgeon...

The challenge of teaching the MIS core course is markedly different from that of more advanced courses taken by MIS majors. In the MIS core course, the goals of bringing knowledge to non-MIS majors that they will find relevant yet grounding that knowledge in the core of the IS discipline, which to a significant degree is inescapably technical, have to be reconciled. Non-MIS majors typically wan...

The present research examines MIS exemplar articles, analyzing their citation patterns in MIS and other scientific fields. Using MIS Quarterly articles of the year and peer-nominated articles, we identified 36 exemplar MIS articles. In all, 421 journals contained articles that cited the exemplars. Our five findings are: (1) the MIS exemplars cover a wide range of themes, (2) the average lifetim...

As an emerging subfield of Management Information Systems (MIS), Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) or Human Factors studies in MIS are concerned with the ways humans interact with information, technologies, and tasks, especially in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. To date, few studies have either synthesized existing studies or drawn an overview picture of the HCI sub...

Management information system (MIS) students are one of the most important information system (IS) employee sources. However, the determinants of student s burnout for MIS major students have received little attentions, despite their importance as indicator in predicting professional burnout and their working intention after their graduation and becoming IS professionals. This study explores th...
