Abstract Purpose Agricultural technologies (agri-techs) have focused on developing the AI perspective of human-AI interaction rather than human perceptions and responses. A lack understanding their employees’ behavioral responses when interacting with advanced can lead to unexpected problems in future. Drawing theoretical user engagement, this paper examines impact five different technostressor...

Rapid advances in information and communication technologies present a challenge to systems (IS) professors. Not only do these frequently make course materials out of date, but also IS professors may struggle stay current with popular technology applications. In sense, forces lead paradox that students be more techno-savvy than their (at least certain areas). Furthermore, feel frustrated when c...

For remote places having less-strong wind, single resources based renewable energy system (RES) with battery storage can sustainably and economically generate electrical energy. There is hardly any literature on optimal sizing of such RES for very low load demand situation. The objective of this study is to techno-economically optimize the system design of a Photovoltaic (PV)-battery storage RE...

The origin of the transmission damage in PWO crystals is discussed. It is shown that both electron and hole centers created on the basis of structural defects in PbWO4 crystals contributed to the induced absorption of the crystals. The different aspects of the suppression of the recharge processes in PWO scintillation crystals are also discussed. 1 Bogoroditsk Techno Chemical Plant, Bogoroditsk...

Brazil's political history had long been marked by authoritarian, techno-bureaucratic regimes in which the state dominated over civil society. A political culture based on a tradition of clientelism and patrimonial elitism meant that the management of municipal public budgets (the 'black box' as it was known) was far from transparent. All this produced a society with extreme social inequalities...

Via a detailed analysis and review of the currently available literature, this work aims at clarifying the phenomena, physical and mathematical, underpinning the methodologies and results in forest bioenergy carbon accounting. The large scale techno-economic models indicate that an increased forest stemwood removal for bioenergy purposes may cause either a decrease of the forest carbon stock (o...

The rapid development of the ICT compels us to train both teachers and students in new skills that allow adapting to the new learning situations; tending to become more and more complex. By carrying a survey among 240 Algerian university teachers, we tried to describe the importance given to ICT in education; while emphasizing their impact on the techno-pedagogical skills of the higher educatio...

Introduction Improvement of the energy industry in developing countries is the major basis of the process of techno-economic and socio-cultural development. This improvement requires the transfer of energy technology which is dominated by non-renewable energy systems. Natural resources which are mostly non-renewable, on the other hand, face various threats caused by such a process of developmen...

AI developments on smart cities, if not critical, risk making a flawed urban model more efficient. Instead, we suggest that AI should challenge the mainstream techno-optimistic approach to solving urban problems by dialoguing with other academic fields, questioning the dominant urban paradigm, and creating transformative solutions. We claim that doing differently, rather than doing better, may ...

This paper focuses on Virtual West Cambridge – an interactive multimedia environment constructed to support design and development of a large-scale, long-term urban project. In architecture, such persistent, continuously-growing virtual environments are unusual. Consequently, they pose unique challenges in procurement, development, maintenance and utilization. This paper re-conceptualizes virtu...
