Fresh and ripe mango (Mangifera indica) slices cv Dasheri were dehydrated in a cabinet dryer at drying air temperatures of 50, 60, 70 oC slice thickness 5 mm. Before dehydration, the pre-treated with potassium meta-bisulphite (KMS) three levels (0.5 %, 1.0 1.5 % KMS, respectively). Five semi-theoretical empirical thin-layer models (Newton [Lewis], Logarithmic, Demir et al. 2004, Henderson &...

This paper focuses on the challenges a global telecommunication company faces in managing their existing knowledge management (KM) systems and planning for a new enterprise-wide knowledge management system (KMS). Data was collected from six user roles using three disparate knowledge repositories. The design requirements for a new enterprisewide knowledge management system are presented. This pa...

Haemangioma is a common type of vascular tumour in paediatric age group [1]. Most of them are benign and non-life threatening [1]. Kasabach Merritt syndrome (KMS) is a combination of giant haemangioma, thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulopathy [1-5]. It presents with diverse clinical presentation and may be a part of other recognized syndrome [1,2]. KMS is a well-recognized but rare clinica...

The paper examines the applicability and sufficiency of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in the context of social software and newer generation knowledge management systems (KMS). A reinterpretation of the two TAM constructs “Perceived Usefulness” and “Perceived Ease of Use” in light of expectancy-valence theory reveals that the TAM predominantly focuses on performance expectations on diff...

The island of Jamaica covers an area of 10,991 km2 and lies about 885 kms south of Miami (United States of America) and 145 kms south of Cuba. It is the largest of the English-speaking Commonwealth Caribbean Islands, and the third-largest island in the region. The island is divided into 14 parishes and there are two major urban centers—Kingston on the southeast coast and Montego Bay on the nort...

Das Robotersystem für die Transkranielle Magnetstimulation (TMS) ermöglicht eine präzise und wiederholbare Positionierung der TMS-Spule auf dem Kopf des Patienten. Um einen sicheren Einsatz des Roboters zu gewährleisten, ist oftmals eine manuelle Vorpositionierung des Roboters nötig, um einen gewünschten Stimulationspunkt zu erreichen. Mittels der Kraft-Momenten-Steuerung (KMS) ist es möglich d...

The shift from a product-based to a knowledge-based economy has resulted in an increased demand for knowledge workers who are capable of higher-order thinking and reasoning to solve intricate problems in the workplace. This requires organizations to introduce knowledge management systems (KMS) for employees and has fueled predictions and speculations about what makes KMS effective. Unfortunatel...

Knowledge management (KM) become important for organization to take advantage on the information produced and can be brought to bear on present decision. Software maintenance (SM) is a process that requires lots of knowledge. Maintainers must know what changes should do to the software, where to do those changes and how those changes can affect other modules of the system. Knowledge management ...

Knowledge sharing visibility is a critical environmental factor which can reduce social loafing in knowledge sharing. This is especially true in IT-based knowledge sharing. As such, it is imperative that we better understand how to design IT-based Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) to support high knowledge sharing visibility. This paper examines the impact of knowledge management technology fu...

A continuous one-parameter group of unitary isometries of a right-Hilbert C*bimodule induces a quasi-free dynamics on the Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebra of the bimodule and on its Toeplitz extension. The restriction of such a dynamics to the algebra of coefficients of the bimodule is trivial, and the corresponding KMS states of the Toeplitz-Cuntz-Pimsner and Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebras are characterize...
