The literature on e-adoption in various areas such as health, education, learning, security, energy, transport and environment is growing enormously in last few years. A growing literature recognizes the positive impact eadoption has made on social and economic front. Organizations have created more operational and economic efficiencies. Individuals have been benefited by having more opportunit...

The current study offers insights into how a pricing strategy called partitioned pricing and its transparency can influence auction success variables. In the online auction environment, auction sellers have to make several surcharge decisions such as whether or not to omit surcharge information from their auction listings or how much the surcharge should be, etc. We found that auctions that did...

This paper proposes a control framework that addresses the destabilizing effect of communication time delays and system uncertainties in telerobotics, in the presence of force feedback. Force feedback is necessary to obtain transparency, which is providing the human operator as close a feel as possible of the environment where the slave robot is operating. Achieving stability and providing tran...

In this paper, I revisit an old question …rst studied by Rogo¤ (1984) –should central banks pursue objectives that di¤er systematically from social welfare? I investigate how the answer to this question is affected by the degree of transparency that characterizes monetary policy. When the policy regime is one of discretion and the central bank is opaque, changes in the policy interest rate have...

Tunneling conductance in diffusive normal ~DN! metal/insulator/s-wave superconductor junctions is calculated for various situations by changing the magnitudes of the resistance and Thouless energy in DN and the transparency of the insulating barrier. The generalized boundary condition introduced by Nazarov @Superlattices and Microstructures 25, 1221 ~1999!# is applied, where the ballistic theor...

We theoretically investigate light propagation and electromagnetically induced transparency in a quasi-one-dimensional gas in which atoms interact strongly via exchange interactions. We focus on the case in which the gas is initially prepared in a many-body state that contains a single excitation and conduct a detailed study of the absorptive and dispersive properties of such a medium. This sce...

The purpose of this study was to test how potential customers’ perceptions of a hotel’s corporate social responsibility activities, service quality, and transparency affect relationship quality constructs such as trust, satisfaction, and customer loyalty. Our research design consisted of utilizing a convenience survey of 487American potential hotel customers. We then followed a two-step approac...

The paper discusses the choice between in‡ation targeting and monetary targeting as a strategy for the Eurosystem, the actual strategy that the Eurosystem has recently announced, the framework for policy decisions appropriate for achieving the Eurosystem’s goals, the role of exchange rate management in the EMU, and the Eurosystem’s accountability and transparency. The choice between in‡ation ta...

We use multiple scattering theory to evaluate the Q 2 dependence of the forward-backward asymmetry, A z , of the missing momentum distribution in quasielstic A(e, e ′ p) scattering, which is expected to be affected by color transparency. The novel features of our analysis are a consistent treatment of the structure of the ejectile state formed after absorption of the virtual photon by the struc...
