Some of the models using partial least squares (PLS) in Information Systems (IS) field may have serious problems because do not properly address endogeneity. This may suppose a problem in IS theory building because it may lead IS scholars to non-correct results. Although the IS community’s awareness is rising, we do not have a clear understanding of the problem nor fine-grained practical guidel...

The monitoring of ecosystems alterations has become a crucial task in order to develop valuable habitats for rare and threatened species. The information extracted from hyperspectral remote sensing data enables the generation of highly spatially resolved analyses of such species’ habitats. In our study we combine information from a species ordination with hyperspectral reflectance signatures to...

Intranets represent an important organisational resource for knowledge sharing. However, as yet, there has been little research into the quality of intranets and the impact of quality on intranet user acceptance. In the study reported in this paper, an intranet quality assessment tool comprising the dimensions usability, design, and information quality, is combined with perceived usefulness and...

This paper presents a model that explicitly defines satisfaction and the antecedent factors that help form it. The model distinguishes between the notions of expectations and desires and argues that both have an impact on overall satisfaction in the form of the difference between priors and post hoc usage perceptions coupled with the individual’s evaluation of these discrepancies. These two typ...

Analysis of images involving humans is of significant interest in computer vision because problems such as detection, modeling, recognition, and tracking are fundamental to model interactions between people and understand highlevel activities. Visual information contained in images is generally represented using feature descriptors. Many general classes of descriptors have been proposed focusin...

Olmesartan medoxamil (OLM, an angiotensin II receptor blocker), amlodipine besylate (AML, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker) and hydrochlorothiazide (HCT, a diuretic of the class of benzothiadiazines) are co-formulated in a single-dose combination for the treatment of hypertensive patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled on either component monotherapy. In this work, t...

Partial least squares (PLS) has been used in multivariate analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data as a way of incorporating information about the underlying experimental paradigm. In comparison, principal component analysis (PCA) extracts structure merely by summarizing variance and with no assurance that individual component structures are directly interpretable or that t...

Although numerous studies have discussed the importance of the relationship between knowledge management and software process improvement (SPI), a research gap still exists in relation to how the specific role of knowledge sharing influences successful SPI implementation. This study advances our knowledge by developing an innovative model for exploring the impact of knowledge sharing on SPI suc...

E-Government development and diffusion have emerged as fundamental issues for both researchers and practitioners across the globe. Understanding electronic government maturity requires an investigation of its antecedents and an evaluation of facilitating factors that influence the progress of online government information, tools, and services from diffusion to eventual adoption. The purpose of ...
