The aim of study is to integrate decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) into the theoretical extension of technology acceptance model (TAM2) to evaluate users’ behavioral intention to use while introducing a new etching plasma technology. The study used a case of the Taiwan plasma etching manufacturing industry as the example, adopted DEMATEL to calculate the causal relations...

Tumor-associated macrophages M2 (TAM2), which are highly prevalent infiltrating immune cells in the stroma of pancreatic cancer (PC), have been found to induce an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, thus enhancing initiation and progression. However, therapy response prognostic significance regulatory genes associated with TAM2 PC currently unknown. Based on TCGA transcriptomic data singl...

Introduction Tumor-associated macrophage 2 (TAM2) abundantly infiltrates pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PAAD), and its interaction with malignant cells is involved in the regulation of tumor metabolism. In this study, we explored metabolic heterogeneity TAM2 by constructing TAM2-associated subtypes PAAD. Materials methods PAAD samples were classified into molecular different characteristics ...

This research proposes a model to predict unanticipated use of software by high school students after mandatory adoption. We define unanticipated use as voluntarily extending the use of a software product to new tasks and new settings after mandatory adoption for a specific task in a specific setting. We are basing our model on TAM2 (Venkatesh and Davis 2000), which is an extension of the origi...

Applying the extended technology acceptance model (TAM2), this research study examined doctors' perceptions about of internet-of-things medical devices (IoT-MDs) to track and monitor health anemic pregnant women in remote areas. The authors used structural equation modeling on a survey data doctors (N=153), path analysis which reiterated certain key considerations TAM2. results showed that perc...

Despite Taiwan financial institutions’ huge investments in online financial services systems, Taiwan consumers’ adoption of online financial services has been slower than anticipated. So far, online financial services research in Taiwan is still in its infancy, hence receiving little academic attention. This suggests a need to understand Taiwan Internet users’ adoption behavior of online financ...

The success of a virtual learning environment (VLE) depends to a considerable extent on student acceptance and use of such an e-learning system. After critically assessing models of technology adoption, including the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), TAM2, and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage of Technology (UTAUT), we build a conceptual model to explain the differences between indivi...

This study investigates technology adoption behavior of Saudi Arabian knowledge workers using desktop computers within the context of TAM2, and the unique effects of Saudi culture on IT adoption within the developing, non-Western, country. Following the guidelines of the etic-emic research tradition, which encourages cross-cultural theory and framework testing, the study findings reveal that th...
