A roadmap for CRM success: in light of the technology CSFS

The primary objective of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework that depicts the impact of technology related critical success factors (CSFs) on customer relationship management (CRM) success, namely, customer satisfaction. This paper uses a qualitative methodology that comprises of a comprehensive literature review of academic researches. Evidences from the extant literatures have suggested that four main technology CSFs; sales force automation, data warehousing & data mining, the internet, and call centres will positively affect customer satisfaction. It is also revealed that trust and privacy play the role as mediating variables between technology CSFs and CRM success. Given that this paper is a conceptual paper, there is need to embark on empirical data gathering to validate the conceptual model presented. The paper suggest that in order to satisfy the customers and make the CRM strategy work effectively, there is a need for the organisations to consider the technology CSFs because it works as an enabler of the whole CRM process. This paper primarily conceptualise a model that would assist in determining the impacts of technology CSFs on CRM success. It generally provides the organisations with CRM focus, by complementing recent works that have been conducted on the role of technology CSFs in achieving CRM success. It concluded by proposing a model for future testing.
RELEVANCE OF DIPLOMA OF ASSOCIATE ENGINEER CURRICULA WITH THE JOB REQUIREMENTS

Technical Education emphasizes on teaching and learning practical knowledge relevant to the job requirements in the industrial sector. This study was conducted to investigate the world of work relevance of DAE curricula of the selected three conventional technologies i.e. Electrical, Electronics and Mechanical and three emerging technologies i.e. Food, Instrumentation and Petroleum. The population of the study was all the graduates of the selected technologies of session 1996-99 and their work supervisors. For sample selection, the primary sample units consisted of 30% institutes offering the specified technology with the condition of including all institutes in the sample if the number was equal to or less than five. All the graduates, 507, of the sample institutes and their supervisors constituted the sample. The questionnaire was sent to all the graduates. Out of a total number of 364 respondents only 323 were employed. The questionnaire was mailed to 323 supervisors and 230 responses were received back. The information received from the DAE graduates and their immediate supervisors was analyzed by competencies and by broad areas of competencies grouped together as clusters. The mean weights of each competency as well as for clusters were calculated for determining the degree of relevance of curricula. The curricula of Electrical, Electronics, Food and Petroleum technology were found generally relevant to the need of the job market with minor changes required under certain subjects. The curricula of Instrumentation technology were considered only partial or somewhat relevant requiring detailed review of the concepts included in the subjects of Microprocessor Applications, Electricity Principles, Industrial Instrumentation and Control, Instrumentation Servicing and Calibration and Industrial Electronics. The curricula of Mechanical Technology were found in need of partial modification . particularly in the subjects of Metallurgy, Applied Electricity and Electronics, Thermodynamics and Energy Conservation.
Effects of the Blended Family on Parenting Styles and Emotional Regulation among Tertiary Students

This research examines the blended family effects on parenting styles and emotional regulation among tertiary students through a sequential explanatory mixed-method design. Through quantitative data gathered, an interview was conducted to have a deeper sense of the information collected. A total of 113 respondents were purposively selected to answer the instruments and 10 of them were chosen to participate in an interview for the qualitative part of the study. It was revealed that most respondents have authoritarian parents and are emotionally adjusting. In addition, there is no significant relationship between parenting style and emotional regulation. Furthermore, there is no significant difference in parenting styles and emotional regulation when grouped according to profile such as age and duration. The results gathered were supported by sikolohiyang Pilipino (Filipino psychology) which discussed the maturity, culture, and values of Filipinos and their families. These data were used to construct a counseling program to help students with blended families adapt to the changes that they will encounter.
Hepatic Response of Magnesium-Restricted Wild Type Mice

Magnesium-deficiency is implicated in many metabolic disorders, e.g., type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, representing risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aims to investigate the contribution of magnesium-restriction to the development of NAFLD. Magnesium-deficiency was induced in C57BL/6 mice by feeding a magnesium-deficient-diet. Metabolic markers as well as markers of inflammation and liver function were assessed. Furthermore, liver tissue was examined histopathologically and compared with specimens from high-fat-diet fed and control mice. Finally, the hepatic inflammatory response was quantified by determining hepatic IL-6, TNFα, and MCP-1. Magnesium-restriction resulted in at least a 2-fold significant reduction of serum magnesium levels compared to the high-fat-diet fed and control mice, whereas the hepatic magnesium content was decreased due to high-fat-diet feeding. No changes in metabolic markers in magnesium-restricted mice were observed, while the cholesterol content was elevated in high-fat-diet fed mice. Magnesium-restricted mice additionally featured inflammation and enlarged hepatocytes in liver histology. Furthermore, magnesium-restricted and high-fat-diet fed mice exhibited elevated hepatic TNFα levels compared to control mice. Accordingly, our data suggest that magnesium is involved in hepatic inflammatory processes and hepatocyte enlargement, key histological features of human NAFLD, and may therefore contribute to development and progression of the disease.
Solar System Wave Function and its Achievements

Pluto, Ceres and all planets of solar system except Neptune, with a high approximation, follow a rule called Titius-Bode rule or Bode rule, which can by no means be considered as a stochastic event. This rule shows that the distance of the planets from the sun in Solar system is regulated. Here, we prove that the existence of a standing and cosine wave packet in solar system, with the wavelength λ = 0.6 AU (AU represents the distance of earth from the sun) and the phase constant ∅_0=π/6, is the reason for Bode rule. Moreover, we prove that this huge wave packet belongs to the sun. In the following of the article, based on the solar system wave function, we will enter into the atomic field and arrive to a new atomic model that helps us to describe many phenomena such as the normal Zeeman effect.
Multi-band phased array antennas for air-platforms

The increasingly global role of the USA military has put an added emphasis on high-data rate communication systems. In such applications, phased array antennas are preferred. This paper describes a new innovative phased array antenna technology which would reduce the size, the cost, simplify the design by lowering the RF losses in transmit and receive channels, extend the frequency coverage, and increase the functional capability of the phased array antennas. Since the beam scan of phased array antennas is limited to /spl plusmn/45 degrees at best, it is anticipated that six full capacity phased array antennas located on the spacecraft would provide the instantaneous communications with any ground station on the Earth and with the other airborne stations. The new wideband multi-functional phased array antenna design is capable of operating at either Ku-band or Ka-band without the need for switching or reconfiguration; and can be readily used to provide information in a timely manner to the various users. The design incorporates a number of novel ideas, including a low loss, extremely wideband phase shifter design, which uses a piezoelectric transducer (PET); a multi-frequency band diplexer system; and broadband high gain antenna radiating elements. Multiple antennas would need control and switching to be accomplished at a centralized location on the airplane.
Propulsive Efficiencies of Magnetohydrodynamic Submerged Vehicular Propulsors

Abstract : Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) ship propulsion is the process of propelling a vehicular structure by a seawater electromagnetic pump. This propulsion system can be applied to a surface ship or a submerged vehicle; however, in this work only submerged vehicles at depths where wave effects can be neglected were considered. Although a number of different arrangements for a MHD propulsion system are possible, the general characteristics of such systems are most easily determined by a simple, ideal MHD rectangular duct of constant cross-sectional area. A mathematical model was developed for calculating the propulsive efficiencies of such a rectangular duct propelling a submerged vehicle. Numerical propulsive efficiencies are presented in terms of many different parameters. Assumptions were generally made in the model that tend to maximize the propulsive efficiency of the MHD system. Thus, the propulsive efficiencies calculated from the model overestimate the efficiencies of the corresponding real MHD propulsion system. These numerical results can be used for engineering estimates of the propulsive efficiencies of real MHD propulsion systems.
A Theoretical Framework for Understanding University Inventors and Patenting

This paper develops theoretical standpoints to investigate and analyse university inventors and patenting activities. Although the studies on academic entrepreneurship and university patenting have substantially increased, first there have not been enough studies on individual inventors and second the current theoretical studies are not eclectic enough to capture the different factors that may explain university inventors patenting activities. The framework described here addresses this need. To accomplish this we inductively derive several factors from a substantial number of studies on university patenting and entrepreneurship, and develop these factors into a tentative framework. It is our hope that this framework is useful in future empirical research on university patenting and provides a point of departure for scientists.
The impact and reach of MOOCs: a developing countries’ perspective

Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are a recent but hugely popular phenomenon in the online learning world. They are hailed by many as a solution for the developing world’s lack of access to education because MOOCs can provide learning opportunities to a massive number of learners from anywhere in the world as long as they can access the course through Internet. However, a close consideration of the ability of learn- ers from most developing countries to make use of MOOCs seems to contradict this rhetoric. This paper discusses features of MOOCs and looks at them from a developing countries’ perspective to conclude that due to a complicated set of conditions (‘access’, language, computer literacy among others) prevailing in developing countries, MOOCs may not be a viable solution for education for a large proportion of people in these ar- eas of the world. The paper further shows the need for more data on the demograph- ics of MOOC participants from developing countries to form a better understanding of MOOCs role in educating people from developing countries.
Joint Mode Selection And Power Allocation for NOMA Systems With D2D Communication

In this paper, we study the integration of device-to-device communication into a non-orthogonal multiple access system. To deal with the complex co-channel interference resulting from the dense spectral reuse, we aim to maximize the sum proportional bit rate by jointly optimizing mode selection (MS) and power allocation (PA). Considering the high complexity of the original problem and the dynamics of the wireless environment, we propose an online mechanism with a double-layer structure by efficiently combining machine learning with optimization theory. In particular, when the MS scheme is given, the remaining nonconvex PA problem can be equivalently transformed into a convex one under certain manipulations. Based on the above optimum, a deep reinforcement learning-based online mechanism is designed and it constantly refines the output MS scheme generated from a deep neural network by utilizing the recent historical experiences via reinforcement learning. Finally, simulations are conducted to validate the superiority of the proposed mechanism in balancing the fundamental tradeoff between performance and online computational time.

The prototype is evaluated with respect to the design objectives and is shown to provide a highly flexible interface between the user and the database of assistance information. Results indicate that the prototype Assistance Manager incorporates the characteristics considered desirable in on-line assistance systems and serves as a basis for future enhancement and development.
Measurement of the turbulence intensities in a flat plate boundary layer

Detailed information on the flow in the vicinity of the wall is of particular interest for various types of flow and heat transfer predictions and of basic importance for turbulence modelling. The time-averaged value can be determined accurately by a number of methods, however time resolved part is rather more difficult to measure. In this work, the results of measurements of the wall shear stress fluctuations in a turbulent boundary layer are presented. Described experiments are performed for the case of zero-pressure gradient flow on a flat plate at Reynolds number, Reθ, ranging from about 1000 to 6000. A main feature of this work is that the miniature wall mounted hot wires fabricated with very high accuracy were implemented in the measurements.
Design of Early Warning Monitoring Systems for Source Waters

Surface water systems may be vulnerable to sudden changes in source water quality as a result of accidental, intentional, or natural contamination from a variety of sources, including spills and storms. Utilities must respond quickly to these events in order to determine appropriate changes in treatment strategy and protect consumers from potentially harmful contaminants. Early warning monitoring systems can facilitate rapid response by using detection, event characterization, and communication to gather the information necessary to make sound decisions. This article discusses the characteristics, components, and design of early warning systems as well as existing and developing monitoring methods and still‐needed research. Case studies provide snapshots of advanced early warning monitoring systems from around the world, in particular Europe and Asia. With a few notable exceptions, US experience with advanced early warning monitoring systems is limited, and most water supplies have little or no early warning system in place. When a contamination event occurs, time is of the essence to protect supplies and safeguard consumer health. Early warning monitoring not only cuts response time but also provides a cost‐effective mechanism for reducing risks, boosting public confidence in the water utility, and promoting good practice and careful reporting on the part of dischargers. Using the information and framework provided here, utilities can begin developing their own early warning monitoring systems, thus ensuring that when water quality is endangered, they won't be caught flatfooted.
Flexible Dipole Antenna Incorporated With Flexible Frequency Selective Surface

This paper present 5.8 GHz flexible dipole antenna incorporated with flexible Frequency Selective Surface (FSS). First the FSS structure, which utilizes the basic hollow cylinder to create the ring is investigeted. Fast Film with dielectric constant, 2.7 and thickness. 0.13 mm is used as flexible substrate material for both dipole and FSS structure. Then the dipole antenna is placed closely and parallel above the FSS structure with distance. The dipole antenna evaluated for about 2.091 dB gain enhancement and optimum return loss when the antenna is placed 0.5 mm above the FSS structure. However, the return loss of the antenna is shifted and evaluated the return loss below than -10 dB as the distance between the antenna and the FSS sturcture is increased. The design structure showed excellent performance when use for wireless communication.
Language Agnostic Speaker Embedding for Cross-Lingual Personalized Speech Generation

Cross-lingual personalized speech generation seeks to synthesize a target speaker’s voice from only a few training samples that are in a different language. One popular technique is to condition a speech synthesizer on a speaker embedding, that characterizes the target speaker. Unfortunately, such a speaker embedding is usually affected by the language being spoken, which compromises the speaker similarity in cross-lingual personalized speech generation. In this paper, we propose a novel speaker encoding mechanism that learns a language agnostic speaker embedding to characterize speaker individuality. Specifically, we adopt an encoder-decoder architecture to disentangle the language information from speaker embeddings via multi-task learning. We conduct experiments on both voice conversion and text-to-speech synthesis between English and Mandarin that involve cross-lingual speech generation. All objective and subjective evaluations consistently confirm that the proposed speaker embedding is language agnostic, thus improving cross-lingual personalized speech generation in terms of speaker similarity.
The dynamic characteristics of harvesting energy from mechanical vibration via piezoelectric conversion

As an alternative power solution for low-power devices, harvesting energy from the ambient mechanical vibration has received increasing research interest in recent years. In this paper we study the transient dynamic characteristics of a piezoelectric energy harvesting system including a piezoelectric energy harvester, a bridge rectifier, and a storage capacitor. To accomplish this, this energy harvesting system is modeled, and the charging process of the storage capacitor is investigated by employing the in-phase assumption. The results indicate that the charging voltage across the storage capacitor and the gathered power increase gradually as the charging process proceeds, whereas the charging rate slows down over time as the charging voltage approaches to the peak value of the piezoelectric voltage across the piezoelectric materials. In addition, due to the added electrical damping and the change of the system natural frequency when the charging process is initiated, a sudden drop in the vibration amplitude is observed, which in turn affects the charging rate. However, the vibration amplitude begins to increase as the charging process continues, which is caused by the decrease in the electrical damping (i.e., the decrease in the energy removed from the mechanical vibration). This electromechanical coupling characteristic is also revealed by the variation of the vibration amplitude with the charging voltage.
INTERACTION EXPERIENCES IN MOBILE AUGMENTED REALITY

The world of mobile computing has been advancing at a tremendous rate over the past numbers of years and is set to continue well in the future. The vast majority of interaction between the user and mobile of today makes use of touch screen displays that have now become the de-facto standard in all smart phones. This paper presents a mobile Augmented Reality (AR) application making use of different kinds of interaction techniques to investigate user experience and the usefulness of the AR technology. Comparisons are drawn with a ported version of the application that makes use of the more traditional touch screen interaction paradigm (2D), thus allowing users to accurately gauge their interaction style preference. The application also makes use of finger-based gesture, auditory (3D sound) and haptic based feedback to ground the user and create a richer experience. Our results shows that though the user feels that 2D interaction is easy to use, they find that using gesture based AR interaction is more fun and enjoyable in this mobile AR application.
