According to Chung and law (2003); Jeong et al (2003); Jeong and Lambert (2001) and Kim et al. (2003), information satisfaction is the most important requirement of online customers’ purchases decision making. This need remains largely unmet despite the growing importance of e-commerce within the hospitality industry. According to Kim et al. (2005), the changing trend in the business activities...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the status of information on forest and data transfer and to identify the gaps in information and data flow in forestry sector in Iran. The study evaluated the data and information flow in three levels (control offices level, provincial offices level and organizational offices level) using the document analysis and questioning (interviews and ques...

the aim of this study is to determine the effect of the income smoothing on the future earnings response coefficient taking into account the effect of the information environment. future earnings response coefficient is used as a measure for evaluation of stock price information content which represents the relationship between current stock returns and future earnings. information environment ...

The RECODE database is a compilation of translational recoding events (programmed ribosomal frameshifting, codon redefinition and translational bypass). The database provides information about the genes utilizing these events for their expression, recoding sites, stimulatory sequences and other relevant information. The Database is freely available at http://recode.genetics.utah.edu/.

This paper reports on the fourth version of the Mixed Integer Programming Library. Since MIPLIB is to provide a concise set of challenging problems, it became necessary to purge instances that became too easy. We present an overview of the 27 new problems and statistical data for all 60 instances.

We present a self-valuing learning technique which is ca-pable of learning how to grasp unfamiliar objects andgeneralize the learned abilities. The learning system con-sists of two components which distinguish between localand global quality criteria for grasp points. The localcriteria are not object-specific while the global criteriacover physical properties of each obj...

where X is the transmit vector signal, Y is the receive vector signal, S is a Gaussian interference vector signal, and 2 is a Gaussian noise vector. The interference signal S is non-causally known at the transmitter but not known at the receiver, and the noise 2 is independent of X and S and it is not known neither at the transmitter nor at the receiver. The transmit signal must satisfy a power...
