Full textAbstract:
In 2012, federal legislation introduced a requirement for formal transportation asset management (TAM) in transportation agencies. The law specifically requires agencies to develop TAM plans and implement TAM programs in their decision-making processes. The history of national policy development for (TAM) and research in policy implementation and organizational theory have shown that program sustainment is not easily achieved. Often, agencies can respond to this kind of legislative mandate with ineffective efforts to achieve legitimacy that reduce the likelihood for the program to be sustained in the long-term. This presents a challenge because without sustainment, the benefits of TAM, which are mostly long-term, may not be fully realized. The objective of this work was to develop a conceptual framework to guide transportation agencies to review their TAM implementation practices and identify opportunities to enhance long-term program sustainment. The conceptual basis for the framework comes from a synthesis of transportation, policy and program implementation, and change management literature, supported by insight from a panel of practitioner and academic experts. The TAM Implementation Review Framework (TIRF) incorporates seven themes of implementation factors that can promote sustainment of TAM practices impacting the social, organizational, and programmatic elements of implementation. The TIRF was applied in case studies to review the TAM implementation processes of three Departments of Transportation (DOTs) resulting in different kinds of information on how implementation activities address factors related to program sustainment. These results can steer future implementation activities in DOTs towards increased probabilities of achieving long-term program sustainment. The primary contributions of this work lie in the development of the conceptual framework and approach to enhance TAM implementation by emphasizing the people and organizational elements of TAM, alongside with the technical. In practice, the TIRF offers agencies a review and planning tool to support TAM implementation decision making and to promote program sustainment. The output is being proposed as a foundational element in the development of an evidence-based catalog of TAM implementation strategies. This can facilitate inter-agency knowledge sharing by providing a platform for systematic documentation of implementation experiences to support broader adoption of strategies that can contribute to increased program sustainment.

Les travaux exposes dans cette these porte essentiellement sur la modelisation, l'estimation parametrique, et la commande d'un bras manipulateur a quatre degres de liberte, le tam. Nous presentons les modeles geometriques, cinematiques et dynamiques (directs et inverses) obtenus pour le bras tam, respectivement avec ou sans outil. Nous rappelons ensuite les notions de parametrisation minimale et d'identifiabilite structurelle, puis la condition d'excitation persistante des signaux, en soulignant ses variations suivant le type d'algorithme d'estimation choisi (recursif ou non, avec formulation matricielle ou sequentielle); nous faisons apparaitre les simplifications importantes qu'apporte la procedure sequentielle dans la recherche de trajectoires excitantes. Nous developpons un nouvel algorithme recursif et sequentiel, utilise pour l'estimation des parametres minimaux et de frottements du tam. Sensibilises au probleme de complexite du modele dynamique des robots rigides, nous avons mis au point une methode de simplification originale et efficace, basee sur un critere energetique et tenant compte des proprietes fondamentales de la mecanique a verifier. Nous proposons alors une methodologie pour l'estimation et la reduction du modele dynamique, incluse dans un logiciel tres convivial, nomme projet, developpe sur station sun. Une etude experimentale realisee en implantant des lois de commande du type computed torque a parametres fixes (avec modele complet ou reduit), comparees a des lois classiques de type pid, montre clairement la superiorite de la commande dynamique qui permet d'effectuer des taches delicates comme l'insertion d'outils dans la plaque tubulaire du generateur de vapeur

Full textAbstract:
The complexity of electronic system is increasing rapidly and many of the electronic systems are embedded systems implemented as system-on-chip (SoC). This increasing complexity of SoC leads to longer test application time (TAT). One approach to reduce the TAT is to perform tests to several cores in parallel, which requests transporting test data in parallel instead of sequentially. In IEEE Std. 1500, it supports parallel test mode by incorporating a user-defined, parallel test access mechanism (TAM) to speed up the testing process. The user-defined TAM means the detail of TAM design is excluded from standard and decided by system integrator. Therefore, we propose a customized TAM structure and two approaches to guarantee full-spatial-parallelism under a bus width limit, and aim to minimize the total number of wire connections. In order to know how close to optimal solution our solutions are, we implement a Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm to do the comparison. The experimental results of the two proposed approaches based on benchmark ISCAS’89 and ITC’02 show the parallelism can be guaranteed by our approaches while using only a few wire connections per pin, and the execution times of them are shorter compared with the SA algorithm.

Full textAbstract:
Gas plants consist of several pieces of both critical static and rotating equipment, which operate continuously under severe operating conditions. These pieces of equipment are permanently subjected to be inspected and maintained during total shutdown of plant facilities to execute Turnaround Maintenance (TAM) event. The TAM is the largest maintenance activities used in most oil and gas companies in terms of both cost and time. Oil and gas companies have suffered losses in the production and enormity in the TAM cost due to duration and interval of TAM which have randomly estimated without taking the size and age of plants into account. Sirte Oil Company (SOC) was a good example and used as a reference point for other gas plants to achieve the aim of this thesis associated with optimising TAM scheduling for gas plants (decreasing duration and increasing interval of TAM) by implementing the TAM model.
The contribution of this research is in developing the TAM model, consisting of four stages, which is broken down into four main stages: First stage; removing Non-critical pieces of Equipment (NEs) from the Scope of Work (SoW) of TAM to proactive maintenance strategies. Second stage; selecting Critical Static pieces of Equipment (CSEs) that constitute the highest risk based on Risk-Based Inspection (RBI). Third stage; selecting Critical Rotating pieces of Equipment (CREs) that constitute the highest risk based on Risk-Based Failure (RBF). Fourth stage; defining the optimum duration and interval of TAM based on Failure Distributions (FDs).
Consequently, the TAM model developed in this study provides a novelty in the TAM event and decision making process. This is basically about optimisation of TAM scheduling in the medium and long-term, characterized by decreasing duration and increasing interval of TAM based on both CSEs and CREs to achieve the TAM model results. The result is the reduction in TAM cost and production losses, and the improvement in reliability and availability requirements of gas plants according to the residual life of critical equipment and operating conditions.
To ensure reliability and consistency of the TAM model, it was validated with three Libya-plants SOC and data from three published case studies. The results from the validation of the TAM model are consistent with the real duration and interval of TAM in most plants SOC. The research concludes that the developed TAM model is a reliable and applicable tool to assist decision-makers in the estimation of TAM scheduling for any a processing plant.

Full textAbstract:
Les virus de la dengue (DV) sont des arbovirus émergents à ARN de polarité positive transmis à l'homme par des moustiques du genre Aedes. L'infection par un des quatre sérotypes de la dengue provoque des symptômes allant de la fièvre modérée à la fièvre hémorragique sévère (DHF) et le syndrome de choc par dengue (DSS). Au cours des dernières décennies, le DV est devenu un agent pathogène humain global avec la moitié de la population mondiale vivant dans des zones à risque. Malgré d'intenses efforts pour comprendre les interactions hôte-virus au stade précoce de l'infection, qui contribuent à la pathogenèse, celles-ci restent mal comprises. Notre recherche est axée sur l'étude des détails moléculaires des interactions hôte - DV et l'identification de nouveaux récepteurs cellulaires pour le DV et d'autres flavivirus Dans ce but, nous avons réalisé un crible à large échelle d'une librairie de 1728 ADNc humains codant des récepteurs de la membrane plasmique. Cette stratégie nous a permis d'identifier les récepteurs TIM et TAM comme de nouveaux facteurs d'entrée du DV. Ces protéines appartiennent à la famille de récepteurs à phosphatidylsérine (PtdSer) qui interviennent dans l'élimination des cellules apoptotiques. Nous avons caractérisé le rôle des récepteurs TIM et TAM dans l'infection par le DV et autres flavivirus. La surexpression des récepteurs TIM et TAM augmente l'infection par le DV dans des cellules peu permissives à l'infection. L'inhibition de l'expression endogène des récepteurs TIM et TAM inhibe infection par le DV dans des cellules permissives à l'infection. Les récepteurs TIM et TAM médient l'entrée du DV par un nouveau mécanisme qui implique la reconnaissance des résidus de PtdSer associés aux virions. Les récepteurs TIM interagissent directement avec la PtdSer associée au virus et les récepteurs TAM le font par des ligands additionnels, Gas6 et ProS. Nos etudes indiquent que la reconnaissance de la PtdSer est un nouveau mécanisme d'entrée du DV. Ce nouveau mode d'entrée de virus dévoile comment le DV et d'autres flavivirus exploitent la voie d'élimination des cellules apoptotiques pour pénétrer dans les cellules hôtesDengue viruses (DV) are emerging arthropod-borne RNA viruses transmitted to human by Aedes mosquitoes. Infection by any of the Dengue serotype causes symptoms ranging from mild fever to severe Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). In recent decades, dengue has emerged as a global human pathogen with half of the world population at risk. Despite of the burden the host-virus interactions at the early stage of infection, which contribute to pathogenesis, remains poorly understood. Our research is focused on studying the molecular details of host-DV interactions and identifying new cellular receptors for DV and other flaviviruses. To this aim, we performed a gain of function screen of a cDNA library bearing 1728 human cDNAs encoding plasma membrane receptors. TIM and TAM family proteins of phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) receptors that mediate clearance of apoptotic cells were identified in the screen as new DV entry factors. We characterized the role of TIM and TAM receptors in DV and other flavivirus's infection. Over expression of TIM and TAM receptors enhanced DV infection in poorly permissive cells. Inhibition of endogenous TIM and TAM expression inhibited DV infection in susceptible cells. TIM and TAM receptors mediated DV entry by a novel mechanism where TIM and TAM receptors recognized viral membrane associated PtdSer. TIM receptors directly interacted with virus-associated PtdSer and TAM receptors did so through TAM ligands, hGas6 and Protein S. Our studies indicate that recognition through PtdSer is a new entry mechanism for DV. This new mode of virus entry unveils how DV and other flaviviruses exploit apoptotic clearance pathway to enter host cells

The descriptive orchestral music of American composer George Whitefield Chadwick (1854-1931) follows a progression from the Symphonic Sketches (1895-1904) to Tam O'Shanter (1915). Chadwick incorporates French, Russian, and radical German musical ideas into his earlier conservative romantic approach, resulting in a new and individual style. Tam O'Shanter represents the culmination of this descriptive style. This study will attempt to identify traits and characteristics in Chadwick's descriptive orchestral music, and by doing so, will help conductors and other musicians identify works as they relate to his different style periods. The symphonic ballad Tam O'Shanter will be studied in depth to demonstrate the culmination of this style.

Sepsis is a widespread life-threatening disease, with a high mortality rate due to inflammation-induced multiorgan failure (MOF). Thus, new effective modulators of the immune response are urgently needed to ameliorate the outcome of septic patients. As growth arrest-specific gene 6 (Gas6)/Tyro3, Axl, MerTK (TAM) receptors signaling has shown immunomodulatory activity in sepsis, here we sought to determine whether Gas6 protein injection could mitigate MOF in a cecal slurry mouse model of sepsis. Mice, divided into different groups according to treatment-i.e., septic (B), ampicillin (BA), Gas6 alone (BG), and ampicillin plus Gas6 (BAG)-were assessed for vitality, histopathology and cytokine expression profile as well as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), ALT and LDH levels. BAG-treated mice displayed milder kidney and lung damage and reduced levels of cytokine expression and iNOS in the lungs compared to BA-treated mice. Notably, BAG-treated mice showed lower LDH levels compared to controls. Lastly, BAG-treated cells of dendritic, endothelial or monocytic origin displayed reduced ROS formation and increased cell viability, with a marked upregulation of mitochondrial activity. Altogether, our findings indicate that combined treatment with Gas6 and antibiotics ameliorates sepsis-induced organ damage and reduces systemic LDH levels in mice, suggesting that Gas6 intravenous injection may be a viable therapeutic option in sepsis.

A tal fi, es parteix de l’estudi de la situació actual dels pagaments mòbils en el mon, en consonància amb l’estat de l’art de la tecnologia que suporta aquest nou servei. Un cop identificats els factors que han conduit a l’èxit de la seva implantació en els diferents països s’analitzen, a partir dels treballs existents sobre el tema, els aspectes rellevants que caracteritzen els pagaments mòbils. En particular, especial atenció es dedica a: 1) Els fonaments teòrics dels pagaments mòbils; 2) La arquitectura dels sistemes; 3) El paper exercit pel factor confiança del consumidor; 4) Les lliçons que es desprenen dels casos emblemàtics; i 5) El futur dels mitjans de pagament en el mon.
Per tal d’identificar els factors que porten una societat a la acceptació d’un nou servei tecnològic, s’ha optat, dins dels diversos models de contrastació a l’ús, por la aplicació del mètode TAM (technology acceptance model). No obstant, a efectes comparatius hem proposat també la consideració d’un nou model, al qual s’ha etiquetat com a EVO (model evolutiu), que es basa en l’èxit del fenomen de la vida com a font de progrés.
Prenent el coeficient alfa de Crombach com a base de comparació, es realitza un treball de camp que dona com a resultat una equivalència quasi perfecta entre el mètodes TAM y EVO. D’aquesta manera, la revisió dels resultats ens desvetlla que els factors de tots dos mètodes son coincidents, el que permet inferir un alt grau de factibilitat en la implantació d’un sistema de pagaments mòbils a Xile. Paral·lelament, s’obté una fórmula útil per el càlcul de les probabilitats d’èxit en la implementació dels pagaments mòbils en qualsevol país.
La conclusió final es que resulta probable que els pagaments mòbils es desenvolupin amb èxit a Xile, pot-ser no tan ràpidament a com ho han fet als països mes desenvolupats, però, en tot cas, no excedint-hi els dos o tres anys de temps.Esta tesis analiza la posible implementación de los pagos móviles en Chile, aprovechando los últimos avances experimentados por la tecnología en el campo financiero y de los medios de pago.

También se identifican los factores que han conducido al éxito de su implantación en los distintos países, y se analizan los trabajos existentes sobre el tema. Se realiza un trabajo de campo que da como resultado una equivalencia casi perfecta entre los modelos TAM y EVO. Paralelamente, se obtiene una fórmula útil para el cálculo de las probabilidades de éxito en la implementación de los pagos móviles en cualquier país. La conclusión final es que resulta probable que los pagos móviles se desarrollen con éxito en Chile, pero más lento que en los países más desarrollados.

It starts analyzing the current situation of global mobile payments and the state of the art of this technology. The factors that have led to the successful implementation in the different countries are also identified, and the existing works on the subject are analyzed. The fieldwork done resulted in an almost perfect equivalence between the TAM and EVO models. In parallel, it was developed a new formula for calculating the probability of success of the implementation of mobile payments in any country. In conclusion, the statistical analysis shows that the mobile payments are likely to develop successfully in Chile, but slower in comparison with developed countries.

Full textAbstract:
Tumour invasion is the key element in the high rate of mortality and morbidity in glioma patients. Increased expression, in neoplastic cells, of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) of the TAM family (comprising Tyro3, Axl and MerTK), has been reported in several cancers including gliomas, in which they play a key role in tumour invasion. Axl RTK, with molecular weight of 120-140 kDa, mediates glioma cell adhesion and invasion through a variety of ways. Within the scope of this thesis, Western blotting, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tissue microarray revealed an upregulation of Axl and Tyro3 in brain tumours and two adult GBM cell lines, SNB-19 and UP007. Both cell lines were treated with the TAM ligand Gas6 and/or the specific Axl small molecule inhibitor BGB324, and analysed in assays for survival, 3D colony growth, motility, migration and invasion. Western blotting was used to detect protein expression and signal protein phosphorylation. In both cell lines, BGB324 inhibited specifically phosphorylation of Axl as well as Akt kinase further downstream. BGB324 also inhibited survival and proliferation of both cell lines in a concentration-dependent manner, as well as completely suppressing migration and invasion. Axl inhibition by BGB324 also sensitised GBM cells to golden standard chemotherapeutic agent temozolomide. Furthermore, novel, unconventional activation mechanisms for the TAMs in human GBM cells were investigated. With the use of Western blotting, co-immunoprecipitation and in vitro kinase assays, Axl was shown to both interact with and be activated by the RTK EGFR. With the aid of qRT-PCR screens, EGFR was shown to promote GBM cell invasion through the Axl/TIMP1/MMP9 signalling axis. Additionally heterodimerisation of Axl with its sister RTK, Tyro3, in GBM cells was confirmed using co-immunoprecipitation assays; the functional significance of this complex was determined to be promotion of GBM cell survival. In conclusion, this thesis demonstrates the importance of TAM signalling in GBM, identifies novel molecular pathways employed by GBM cells for their survival, growth and spread, and thereby further strengthens the case for targeting TAM receptors as a novel therapeutic approach to combat both primary tumours as well as secondary tumours arising from drug resistance.

This thesis investigates agrarian transitions within aquarian contexts by investigating livelihood transitions in a small rural fishing village in central Vietnam. Examined are powers at play that inform livelihood transitions as fishers and fish farmers respond by moving in and out of different production systems in order to maintain their fishing and fish farming livelihoods. This research reveals that aquarian transitions in Vietnam could follow a similar trajectory of agrarian transitions whereby smaller, less efficient production systems make room for more efficient economies of scale. In conducting a thorough and detailed empirical analysis of production systems, the socio-economic relations that shape production systems, and natural resource governance within the Vietnamese context, this research contributes to a better understanding of the knowledge surrounding fishery resources and livelihood options.

resulta da aplicação de ferramentas de análise estratégica.In the management domain and, in particular, the strategic management’s stand, mergers and acquisitions are a frequently used tool in order for managers to achieve growth and operational development for their companies, being also a largely and profoundly studied topic by the academic and scientific literature. In this case study, the merger between the Chilean airline LAN and the Brazilian TAM, which gave origin to the Latam Airlines Group, was studied under the strategic management perspective. Being a horizontal integration type of merger, in which TAM was integrated by LAN through an exchange of shares, the fundamental objective of this study was to develop the strategic management tools that make it possible to debate the future strategic options for the TAM brand and to understand what is the impact in its operations. In order to accomplish these broader goals, and according to the case study methodology, pedagogical questions were raised, whose answer rely on the use of the strategic tools and analysis.

The thesis "Memory of the place" is focused on seeking for the points of thematic support - the attributes of the landscape, that would characterize selected places within the region of Czech Switzerland, Elbe Sandstones and Luzic Mountains and help to the visualization of the landscape by means of photography and also to the subsequent creative paraphrase. In the thesis the selected place is characterized by the double type of the geological structure - on the one hand those are the sediments of sandstone and on the other hand eruptive rocks of the crystalic basalt. These two types of structures then subsequently serve to the creative shifts in the practical and pedagogical part of the thesis. The sandstone varied in shape and colour (the principle of destruction, expression) and on the contrary the monochrome firmly construed basalt (the principle of construction) are shown in the different relations with the other attributes of this landscape, e. g. with water, vegetation and influence of the man. At the same time the elements of time, light and motion are projected into their metamorphoses.

This study explores the practicality of using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to interpret the repurchase willingness of users. Using ‘trust’ and ‘corporate image’ as external variables, the study looks into how ‘perceived usefulness’ and ‘perceived ease of use’ of current users affect their willingness to repurchase. This paper adopts the structural equation modeling technique to construct the research model, as well as to evaluate the relationships among these variables. The findings are as follows: 1. While ‘perceived usefulness’ has a significant effect on current users’ willingness to repurchase, ‘perceived ease of use’ does not possess the same obvious effect. Therefore TAM cannot be used to analyze the repurchase willingness of current users; 2. As ‘perceived usefulness’ could affect the repurchase willingness of users, suppliers may heighten current users’ awareness of product usage in order to increase their repurchase willingness; 3. Although ‘perceived ease of use’ does not have a direct impact on the repurchase willingness of current users, it does have a significant effect on ‘perceived usefulness’. Suppliers shall therefore make their products more easy to use, by enhancing information on product instructions or by improving operating procedures. By doing so, ‘perceived usefulness’ can be increased and ‘repurchase willingness’ can be promoted; 4. As ‘corporate image’ and ‘trust’ have a direct effect on the repurchase willingness of current users, suppliers may therefore increase the sense of ‘trust’ and loyalty of current users by reinforcing the development of cooperate image.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the study of "tam tam" 2000, an art project that was presented to the public attending the venue traditionally known as "tam tam," in the Mount Royal Park, during the summer of 2000. Through this art event, the public and the art educator united by a common interest, explored the art discourse and practice by painting on canvas during three consecutive Sunday sessions. The art educator invited the public to make Public Art by providing a framework consisting of canvas, paint, and themes related to socio-cultural issues of communal interest. With this project, the intention was to promote art as a vital social practice in order to motivate positive social change. Considerable pedagogical and logistical efforts were put into the making of "tam tam" 2000 in order to make the art experience entertaining, educational and meaningful. As a result of the interaction of the public, the site, art and the educator, the sessions produced three mural-like paintings. The event was documented on video and personal comments from the public were collected in a response book. Through the analysis of this documentation, this thesis examines the concept of Public Art as an important subject matter of art education.

The urban population and Industries in Taiwan are concentrating and polarizing to the northern and southern metropolitan areas of the island. In the mean time, how to prepare a plan to attract appropriate industries and to motivate private investment into the newtown is becoming the hich we are chasing eagerly. Starting from the analysis of industrial development trend of Taipei Metropolitan Area and the existing situation of industries and potentialities of Tam-Hai newtown, we could discover that the inter-relationship between Tam-Hai newtown industrial inducement and Taipei Metropolitan development is certainly strong. Then, the economic development of Tam-Hai newtown could be defined as: 1. In the aspect of metropolitan functions, Taipei is the managerial center while Tam-Hai plays the role of sharing part of managerial functions. 2. In the aspect of newtown functional arrangement, Tam-Hai is a residential oriented newtown. By adding other complementary functions, its urban structure could be enhanced. 3. In the aspect of urban economic structure, Tam-Hai complies with the metropolitan population and industrial strategy to make the metropolitan population and industry disperse and grow evenly. 4. In the aspect of urban hierachy, Tam-Hai is a satellite city of Taipei. Under the above definitions, the study concludes the proposal as follows: 1. To induce industries reasonably for setting up the integrated industrial structure. 2. To promote the industrial level for upgrading the industrial development. 3. To ensure the industrial scale.

In recent times, people travel on business or for pleasure more often than before. How to communicate efficiently with each other has become an important issue. The rapid develop- -ment of technologies such as e-mail and mobile phone make people communicate easily. However, while communicates getting more and more frequently, how to reduce communi- -cation cost turns into another key point. And we think the best solution is VoIP. This article focuses on examining what factors could influence individual on acceptance of VoIP. Since VoIP is an innovative technology, we use Technology Acceptance Model as a theoretical foundation to explore the acceptance of VoIP. The study also adds what are argued to be key constructs such as Perceived of user number, Personal Self-efficacy, Personal Inno- -vativeness, and System Reliability to be the external variables of TAM. Besides, it considers the Compatibility characteristic select form Innovation Diffusion Theory and Price factor of VoIP. The research analysis is presented in two stages. First, develop a questionnaire which has reliability and validity by pilot test. Second, a web-based questionnaire is designed. We ask users of on-line boards in the communication, computer, and hardware/software. In total, 521 replies were collected and 292 replies are actual users of VoIP. For the purpose, we conduct both Pearson Correlate Coefficient and Path Analysis by statistics software in order to verify the hypotheses. And individual t-test is processed to examine whether any difference between software/hardware VoIP in variables of TAM. There are some interesting findings: 1. A hypothesis: “Personal Self-efficacy positively influences the Personal Useful- -ness of VoIP” is not supported. 2. PU is the main factor influencing BI and Att; Com is the main factor influencing PU; and PNOU is the main factor influencing PEOU. 3. Software/hardware VoIP have difference in Com and SR. In addition, the mean of both variables are hardware VoIP higher than software VoIP. Through testing those hypotheses, we find which personal factors affecting acceptance of VoIP and how worthwhile are they. Hence, we can provide some strategic advices for enterprises as reference and make contribution to the academic circles as possible as we can.

Full textAbstract:
As of today, Blockchain is an innovative distributed ledger technology enabling the exchange
of value online without the need of intermediaries such as banks or players of the shared
economy. The technology provides a decentralized and trustless network, secured by
cryptography and consensus mechanisms.
The study attempted to assess the current ‘Level of Knowledge’ about the up-and-coming
Blockchain technology throughout society, which is considered to be fundamental in order to
unfold full socio-economic potential. Based on a modified version of the Technology
Acceptance Model (TAM) by Davis (1989) the study sought to define relationships between
self-reported variables such as ‘Perceived Ease of Use’, ‘Perceived Usefulness’ and
‘Perceived Risk’, ultimately predicting the ‘Intention to Use’ of Blockchain. An online
questionnaire was designed and shared across a convenience sample population, comprised by
young students and professionals.
The results reveal that about two thirds of the sample population is non-aware of the topic at
hand. The findings affirm overall significance and appropriateness of the tested constructs
within the conceptual framework. A system will be accepted, if it is perceived as trustworthy,
convenient and useful. ‘Perceived Risk’ was the most significant determinant in predicting
intended use. Regression analysis revealed significant relationships among all the variables
used.
Managerial as well as academic implications about the outcomes of this study have been
formulated.
It should be noted, that due to the nature of TAM and the convenience sample, general
conclusions about society’s perception are limited.Atualmente o Blockchain, ou “protocolo de segurança” é uma tecnologia inovadora que garante a partilha de valor online sem intermédio de terceiros. Por outras palavras, a tecnologia garante uma rede descentralizada e segura, assegurada pela criptografia e outros mecanismos consensuais, criando uma alternativa à confiança em bancos e outros players que atuem sob a economia partilhada. O estudo em causa tenta avaliar o atual “Nível de Conhecimento” na sociedade relativamente à tecnologia, considerado como um ponto fundamental para revelar todo o seu potencial socioeconómico. O mesmo, é baseado numa versão modificada do modelo Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), proposto por Davis (1989), que procura definir relações entre variáveis previamente definidas como: ‘Facilidade de Utilização Percebida’, ‘Utilidade Percebida’ e ‘Risco Percebido’ que preveem a intenção de uso do Blockchain. Isto é, afirmarse- á que um sistema é aceite caso seja visto como seguro, conveniente e útil. Um questionário relativo ao tópico foi partilhado entre uma amostra por conveniência, composta por jovens estudantes e profissionais. Os resultados revelam que cerca de dois terços dos indivíduos que compõem a amostra não estão cientes do tópico em causa. Identificou-se que a variável ‘Risco Percebido’ é aquela que significativamente melhor determina a intenção de uso, sendo que, a análise de regressão revelou relações significativas entre todas as variáveis utilizadas. Implicações académicas e de gestão foram formuladas após a análise dos resultados. Contudo, devido à natureza da TAM e à amostra por conveniência as conclusões gerais sobre a percepção da sociedade relativamente ao Blockchain são limitadas.

According to the literatures, this research join external variables (Norm, perceived enjoyment and self-efficacy) and set up the frame. This research also used questionnaire to survey 30 resources class schoolchildren in nantou elementary school. According to the findings, there are three factors that affect resources class schoolchildren used Wii. The first is a man that importment to himself or classmates. They will use Wii when they feel Wii is safe and useful if somebody they are trust and dependence become to use Wii. The second is they could became happy or not after played Wii. They wii become to use Wii if they feel it could be happy after used. The third is they could use Wii successfully of not. They will use continued when the first used was smoothly. This study regards that both the acceptability and the willing of future usage of resources class schoolchildren are higher than normal people. A conjecture for this is that higher acceptability is induced by the lack of entertainment in everyday life.

Early enterprises measured the products and service quality with customer satisfaction, but actually they found that high customer satisfaction could not represent high customer loyalty. When the enterprise has high customer satisfaction, but the customer loyalty is lower, that will only waste enterprise resources, it is helpless for enterprise's revenue and profit. This research probed into the domestic Tax Accounting Software Service industry's interfered relation between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, this topic’s verification which nobody studied before . For finish this research, I collected and analyzed relevant literature and documents in order to create theory structure of the research. This research uses survey questionnaires to collect the empirical evidence and data. The researching area included Taichung city and Chanhua Countys’ accountant firms. 225 questionnaires were distributed and 143 copies were collected, the returning ratio is 62%. Screening out 4 copies of null and void questionnaires, 139 are valid questionnaires. The valid yield returning ratio is 62%. This research’s statistical analysis used descriptive statistical analysis, relevant analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and two steps regression analysis to exam the research hypotheses. First, perceived cost interfere with the impact on customer loyalty of customer satisfaction of tax accounting software industry; Second, perceived risk interfere with the impact on customer loyalty of customer satisfaction of tax accounting software industry; Third, social influence interfere with the impact on customer loyalty of customer satisfaction of tax accounting software industry. The conclusion of this research proposes the following suggestions: First, the software company should reduce the customer's perceived cost for raising enterprise's competition advantage; Second, the software company should fully find out customer's perceived risk, and convert the handicap into helpful sale ; Third, the software company should weaken the social influence, strengthen the customer relationship management.

The study aims to integrate conformity with TAM model to understand teenager acceptance of on-line shopping. A survey was conducted to empirically test the model. Results indicated that purchase intention and the likelihood of conformity significantly affect teenager acceptance of on-line shopping. However, the effect of the importance of conformity is not significant. In addition, the perceived usefulness is significantly affected by attention to social comparison information (ATSCI) and interpersonal informational influence. Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and ATSCI are the important factors that influence the intent to accept the online shopping. Also, interpersonal normative influence significantly affects the importance of conformity. Implications for academic and practitioner are also provided.

The progress of the SOC technologies has inspired the requirements of complex circuits. SOC products compete drastically among each other. The time-to-market for each product decides the gain of manufacturers. Hence, how to shorten the design and testing time for SOCs are the most important topics currently. The potential complexity of SOCs results in the difficulty of test, and the long testing time also reduce their competition power among other products. The testing time of a SOC is determined by the total test bandwidth of TAM and the test sequence of cores. High bandwidth TAM provides faster test data access of cores to reduce the total testing time of SOCs, but it also results in high area overhead and thus affects system performance and reduces the yield of chips. Therefore, a good TAM design keeps balance between testing time and area overhead. Besides, different arrangements of core test sequence under the constraint of the total test bandwidth affect the testing time of SOCs significantly. Therefore, how to arrange the appropriate test sequence for cores such that the SOC total test time is minimize is the focus of this thesis. While considering the test scheduling problem of SOCs, several constraints, such as test bandwidth, test resource, and power consumption, must be taken into account. Moreover, the test access architecture used to transport test data between cores and outside world also influence the design of test scheduling. In this thesis, we propose a TAM Switch based test scheduling algorithm for SOCs under the constraint of fixed TAM width. The use of TAM Switch architecture in this thesis is because that it can dynamically reconfigure the test bandwidth of each core during test. The purpose of this thesis is to propose an efficient test scheduling algorithm under the constraint of fixed TAM width to minimize the SOC testing time. And the test structure used in the thesis is TAM Switch architecture. Experimental results show the approach proposed in this thesis is efficiently. Compare to the approach in [4], the proposed approach obtain lower testing time for the most cases in SOC d695 and SOC p93791.

The paper collects two hundred journals on TAM and RFID. In the RFID literature, the paper classifies them with tables, such as applying to various areas, different technologies, and different functions. The paper finds out the factors of RFID acceptance and analyzes if they are the main factors of influencing industries to accept RFID. In the TAM literature, the paper classifies them with tables according to various applications, including exploring different areas, technologies, ways of studying, and uniting other theories. The paper also reviews the evolution of TAM and the study methods of TAM through literatures. The paper discovers the advantages or disadvantages of the models and finds out the important factors of accepting technology. In addition, the paper associates the main factors of RFID acceptance with the important variables of TAM and finds out the mutual factors between RFID and TAM. These are the characteristic of technology, the factor of organization, the expectation of performance, and the advantage of competition. According to the factors, the paper uses TAM to explore the feasibility of implementing RFID or which industry will be suitable for using RFID. The paper proposes four topics.T1：The characteristic of technology will affect the attention of using RFID of industries. T2：The factor of organization will influence the attitude and behavior of adopting RFID of industries. T3：The expectation of performance will affect industries to accept RFID. T4：The advantage of competition will be the important factor for industries to decide to adopt RFID. The paper uses the method of literature study to find out whole factors of influencing RFID acceptance and supplies a complete model of analyzing literatures. The model of studying can promote the value of exploring RFID and will give some opinions for future researchers to study on the thesis. At last, the paper proposes some problems of RFID at present and hopes the future researchers will focus on the problems and look for the ways of solving problems mutually.
