The Information Systems (IS) community has put considerable effort on identifying constructs that may explain the initial/continuance use of computer based learning or assessment systems. This study is a further step toward IS continuance acceptance delivered in Computer Based Assessment (CBA) context. Specifically, it aims at the exploration of continuance acceptance in CBA context and the dev...

Introduction The reinforced concrete tilt-up building is the most popular form of light industrial and low-rise commercial construction in the Western United States and is a significant portion of new construction nationwide. This popularity is primarily driven by the construction speed and economical nature of tilt-up construction. Architectural acceptance has become more widespread as tilt-up...

The area of crime investigation has extended its roots to cyber media and has emerged exponentially with the technological strides. Among the various media used in Digital Forensics, Email Forensics took up the leading segment. In order to investigate the cyber crimes, there is an immense need to analyze the bulky email gatherings forensically. Data mining methods help in analyzing these large ...

conclusion pacs is highly accepted in all three emergency departments especially among specialists. pu, peu and change are factors influencing pacs acceptance. our study can be used as an evidence of pacs acceptance in emergency wards. results mean age of participants was 32.9 years (standard deviation [sd] = 6.08). participants with the specialty degree got a higher acceptance score than the t...

1.1. Independence Sampler for Topic Activations V The posterior of v:i does not have a closed analytical form due to the nonlinearity associated with the logistic mapping of our stick-breaking weights π:i. We instead perform a Metropolis-Hastings update with an independence proposal q(v∗ :i | v:i, η, φ:i, λV ) = N(v∗ :i | ηφ:i, λ −1 V IK), which represents a sample from our prior. Since our pro...

We propose the use of a hierarchical adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (HANFIS) for automated speaker verification of Persian speakers from their English pronunciation of words. The proposed method uses three classes of sound properties consisting of linear prediction coefficients (LPC), word timelength, intensity and pitch, as well as frequency properties from FFT analysis. Actual ...

BACKGROUND The number of multiple sclerosis (MS) information websites, online communities, and Web-based health education programs has been increasing. However, MS patients' willingness to use new ways of communication, such as websites, mobile phone application, short message service, or email with their physician, remains unknown. OBJECTIVES We designed a questionnaire to evaluate the a pri...

This paper proposes a new way to study traffic flow at an urban unsignalised intersection, through detailed space considerations, using cellular automata (CA). Heterogeneity and inconsistency are simulated by incorporation of different categories of driver behaviour and reassignment of categories with given probabilities at each time step. The method is able to reproduce many features of urban ...
