This study is to investigate the influence of bundling type on ambivalent response which a state having simultaneous conflicting reactions, beliefs, or feelings towards bundled packaging. It hypothesized that hedonic packaging would trigger more than utilitarian one. And it examines moderating roles product characteristic variables such as criteria evaluation attribute and choice set size relat...

Logic access control enforces who can read and write data; the enforcement is typically performed by a fully trusted entity. At TCC 2016, Damgård et al. proposed Access Control Encryption (ACE) schemes where predicate function decides whether or not users (decrypt) (encrypt) data, while message secrecy users’ anonymity are preserved against malicious parties. Subsequently, several ACE construct...

In order to have a software architecture design method that achieves quality attribute requirements several aspects of the method must be in place. First there must be some way to specify quality attribute requirements so that it can be determined whether the designed architecture can achieve them. Secondly, there must be some way for modularising the knowledge associated with quality attribute...

Today, an increasing number of customers subscribes for a high bandwidth internet access. But not only communication speed is demanded. Quality of Service (QoS) moves more and more into the customers focus. Both Carriers and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have increasing requirements derived from new services they want to offer to their customers. A new hardware solution is presented, which ...

Eliminating the leakage current is one of most important issues for transformer less inverters in grid connected photovoltaic applications. The technical challenge is how to keep the common mode voltage constant to reduce the leakage current. For this purpose an improved single phase transformer less inverter is proposed. It has two additional switches connected in the dc side. The PWM pulses f...

Despite the over five decades long history of information and communication technology there are still many general level problems in the software products and a huge price is paid for that. It indicates that there is much left to learn about what makes up a good information system and how to make it. This paper tries to find out what are the general good properties of information systems and t...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to explore the quality attributes required for effective telemedicine encounters from the perspective of the patient. METHODS We used a multi-method (direct observation, focus groups, survey) field study to collect data from patients who had experienced telemedicine encounters. Multi-perspectives (researcher and provider) were used to interpret a rich ...

Diverse approaches have been used to assure the analytical quality of automated hematology; as such, there is great variation in their error detection capabilities. We summarize the intralaboratory performance of a cohort of Sysmex XE-2100's running e-Check hematology quality control (QC). The imprecisions of a median performing (50th percentile imprecision) and more imprecise [15th percentile ...
