Little is currently known about the process of individual adjustment o information technology innovations. This article reports the results of a critical review of the literature, using an interactional psychology framework. In the past, researchers have focused on the limited themes of stress and attitudes. The indicators of individual adjustment emphasized in past research are strain sYmptoms...

Management scholars traditionally rely on the review of journals and empirical data for information used in research projects and in the classroom. However, there is also a vast amount of material that remains virtually untapped by many management researchers the artifacts, pictures, and remains of industrial and commercial organizations. Industrial archeologists specialize in studying organiza...

This document contains additional comparisons of our approach and commercial software [1] on large real-world datasets. 1 Additional ExperimentsSection 2.3 of the paper introduced commercial software [1] as a state-of-the-art technique of pipe-run reconstruction. We purchased a license and used theirautomatical pipeline to reconstruct pipe-runs from the same dataset in Figure11 ...

This article wants to propose this theory that Farm Corporations are agropolitan development models in Iran. As over-concentrating investments to the urban areas did not lead to a trickledown effect to the rural areas. To the extreme, there are ideas to minimize linkages with the urban economy, and to make the rural areas pursue self-sufficiency by maximizing its potentials. However, against th...

This paper examines the significant differences in seasonal variations of air pollutants concentrations at urban, industrial, commercial and agricultural areas of Uttarakhand. PM10 (RSPM), suspended particulate matter (SPM), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) were collected over four sites in Haridwar and Dehradun Valley, Uttarakhand. The first one, Shivalik Nagar, Haridwar is a...

Commercial and industrial pick and place systems are now in widespread use performing jobs more cheaply or with greater accuracy and reliability than humans. They are also employed for jobs which are too dirty, dangerous or dull to be suitable for humans. Pick and Place Systems are widely used in manufacturing, assembly and packing, transport, earth and space exploration, surgery, weaponry, lab...

The effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on industrial tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Isma F1) cultivated in North-Eastern Algeria was evaluated under greenhouse and field conditions in a vertisol soil intended for the cultivation of industrial tomato. In the greenhouse, a commercial AMF inoculum and native fungal isolates consisting of Funneliformis mosseae and Septoglomus c...

Process systems engineering (PSE) has been an active research field for almost 50 years. Modeling, simulation and optimization technologies have been developed to a mature state. These technologies have been penetrating all fields of chemical engineering in academia as well as in industrial practice. Systems thinking has been established in industrial practice largely through powerful commercia...

In this paper, we will give our view of the role of TCAD in the industrial technology development process, as well as of the division of labor between industrial TCAD, vendors of commercial TCAD software, and academia. Furthermore a list of model shortcomings is presented that we feel still prevent broad productive use of TCAD in industrial technology development. In the end we will define our ...
