We...

Let 2 ≤ q ≤ min{p, t − 1} be fixed and n → ∞. Suppose that F is a p-uniform hypergraph on n vertices that contains no complete q-uniform hypergraph on t vertices as a trace. We determine the asymptotic maximum size of F in many cases. For example, when q = 2 and p ∈ {t, t+ 1}, the maximum is ( n t−1 ) t−1 + o(nt−1), and when p = t = 3, it is b (n−1) 2 4 c for all n ≥ 3. Our proofs use the Krusk...

The DTN architecture is based around sender-initiated unicast communication that is insufficient or inconvenient to meet the needs of many applications. To address these limitations, we define a DTN session layer and associated extensio...

This descriptive single case study examines the process and implications of the self-determined adoption of an internet-based meeting system in a global company. Self-determination theory and structuration theory are used as theoretical lenses to understand the adoption and use of an ICT system. The data were collected using qualitative semi-structured interviews with eleven system users and an...
