Th is study investigates the relationships between visitor motivations, destination evaluation and future behavior intentions. Data for the study were collected through a structured questionnaire from a purposive sample of pleasure travelers to the state of West Virginia during summer 2012. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data in AMOS. Results showed some signifi cant...

Arguing that people are often in doubt concerning to whom they have presented what information, Gopie and MacLeod (2009) introduced a new memory component, destination memory: remembering the destination of output information (i.e., "Who did you tell this to?"). They investigated source (i.e., "Who told you that?") versus destination memory in computer-based imagined interactions. The present s...

This paper presents an authorization-based group-oriented secure broadcasting system based on the ID-based system proposed by Tsujii and Itoh. In the proposed system, any broadcasting secret in ciphertext form is addressed to “group” instead of “individual”. First of all, the broadcaster defines the message authorization strategy among the individuals in the destination group by considering the...

We consider cooperative space-frequency block-coded OFDM (SFBC-OFDM) networks with amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) protocols at the relays. In cooperative SFBC-OFDM networks that employ DF protocol, (i), intersymbol interference (ISI) occurs at the destination due to violation of the “quasistatic” assumption because of the frequency selectivity of the relay-to-destination c...

BACKGROUND The presence and mix of destinations is an important aspect of the built environment that may encourage or discourage physical activity. This study examined the association between the proximity and mix of neighbourhood destinations and physical activity. METHODS Secondary analysis was undertaken on physical activity data from Western Australian adults (n=1394). These data were lin...

This chapter aims to present and discuss the concept of ‘destination image’, as shown in the literature to date and also to identify the way in which the image has been formed. The process of image formation is a dynamic one, in which the influence factors have a different importance and they continuously change and complete each other. It intend to analyze the formation and communication of th...

Supply chains (SC) are generally complex and are characterized by numerous activities spread over multiple functions and organizations, which pose interesting challenges for effective SC coordination. To meet these challenges, SC members must work towards a unified system and coordinate with each other. Importance of coordination in SC has escalated many folds. SC coordination requires that eac...
