Effect of feeding on linseed oil (LO)-enriched Artemia was investigated on growth, survival and stress resistance of tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona) larvae. Larvae were fed by LO-enriched (2.5, 5 and 7.5 %) as well as non-enriched Artemia nauplii for 14 d, followed by 14 d feeding on non-enriched Artemia. Fish fed on enriched nauplii showed significant increase in growth performance at both 14th...

n a paradox experienced by many IT managers, organizational information systems (OISs) are implemented and function exactly as designed—a success by all objective measures—yet users are still disappointed and consider them unsuccessful. Exploring this paradox here, we recommend ways to reduce the root causes of such disappointment. Researchers and practitioners alike have long focused on the su...

for sharing information has brought with it the corresponding ubiquity of URL references and citations. URLs regularly appear on billboards, packages, business cards, print advertisements, clothing, and as references in scientific articles. Most readers have probably experienced a “dead link”: a Web reference that for a variety of reasons will not lead to a valid or correct Web page. A dead lin...

hree years is a long time in the world of e-business. In 1999 bookstores were replete with treatises by e-vangelists heralding a new “network economy” that would fundamentally change the conduct of business and commerce. According to consultant firm Booz Allen Hamilton, more than 90% of top managers believed these claims would be realized by 2001 [3]. As we now know, these e-vangelists were at ...

Wearable technology is increasingly used to identify episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, most validation studies using single-lead ECGs only included patients with either sinus rhythm or AF and, therefore, likely overestimate the sensitivity and specificity detection algorithms. We sought compare diagnostic accuracy Apple Watch (APW) series 6 CART-I ring (C-ring) algorithms physician...

I n recent years, many research activities have focused on design that aims to produce universally accessible systems, taking into account special needs of various user groups. These special needs are associated with many user factors, such as impairments of speech, hearing or vision, cognitive limitations, aging, as well as with various environmental factors [3]. Fields that address this probl...

nformation technology, in any form, has its own inherent tendencies and influences the nature and direction of organizations. It has significantly changed supply chain processes across different organizations and, in many cases, improved competitiveness. This trend cannot be stopped and therefore should be understood so that it can be directed toward enabling organizations to achieve better per...

A framework supporting the privacy policy life cycle helps guide the kind of research to consider before sound privacy answers may be realized. nformation technology advances are making Internet and Web-based system use the common choice in many application domains, ranging from business to health care to scientific collaboration and distance learning. However, adoption is slowed by well-founde...

ISPs have been deluged with complaints. Furthermore, some ISPs report that spam places a considerable burden on their systems. A variety of technical countermeasures to spam have been proposed: the simplest are already being implemented; some of the more extreme could require dramatic changes to the ways we communicate electronically. In addition, there has been growing support in the U.S. for ...
