Research on the Dimension and the Level of Digitalization of Private Museums: from the Perspective of Content and Design of Web SitesTsai, Hui-chi 21 January 2006 (has links)
It was usual that museums built up their won Web sites nowadays. However, building Web sites didn¡¦t mean that museums used Internet to support museums¡¦ operation. In researcher¡¦s opinion, using Internet services had become an indivisible part of modern life. Since researches on private museums was less than those on famous and public museums, this study used the ICDT model ¡]four virtual space, included information, communication, distribution, and transaction¡^and the Content Analysis to point out the dimension and the level of digitalization of 97 museum Web sites. This study result could be used to suggest museum operating Web sites and providing e-services in an excellent way.
The study result included the following guidelines:
1¡EThe information-and-commerce-based Web sites presented more consistency than those of information-based Web sites. The information-and-commerce-based Web sites also presented higher level of digitalization.
2¡EThe museum Web sites should provide information of abundance and depth, use multiple online communication functions, develop Internet as a new distribution, and pay more attention to the security of transaction and individual¡¦s privacy.
3¡EThe problem of digitalization of private museums was the unclear idea of digitalization and Web site, as well as the unrealized needs of museums and Internet users. In suggestion, the museum should find out attributes that differed from the others, and set up the Web site¡¦s main notion according to museum mission. Further more, to match museum¡¦s needs and user¡¦s needs, so as to seek for corporation of other business and resources. Finally, to keep well maintenance and evaluation of Web sites.

Case Study on the Impact of InteractiveMarketing upon Internet versus TraditionalCustoms¡XZion ToursHoung, Barry 25 July 2001 (has links)
This study is more or less of an exploratory research style. It is aimed to find out what the impact of the travel information appearing on a company web site that is run by a travel agent, upon traditional customers in a sense of interactive marketing.
It is hoped that through the subject study we can much understand traditional customer expectations and perceptions in using of the internet. It would also equip the agents in a better position to fulfill the customer requirements when they map out the content of the travel company web site and implement the information communication. And finally it will lead to the best marketing strategy planning.

Analysis of site structure and post-depositional disturbance at two Early Holocene components, Richard Beene site (41BX831), Bexar County, TexasMason, James Bryan 30 September 2004 (has links)
Two deeply buried, well-stratified, and well-dated components dating to the Early Holocene period were excavated at the Richard Beene site (41BX831) in Bexar County, Texas. This thesis utilizes both qualitative (interpretation of maps) and quantitative (unconstrained clustering) spatial analysis techniques to identify site structure and assess post-depositional disturbance by analyzing patterns among artifact categories, selected artifacts, and features from these components. Results of spatial analysis are compared to expectations of the archaeological record based on previous research. Each component revealed a distinct pattern. The Lower Medina component (ca. 6900 B.P.) is well preserved and spatial analysis showed clear distinctions between domestic and peripheral zones. The Upper Perez component (8800 B.P.) is a fluvial lag deposit of displaced artifacts and fire-cracked rock features. Results of spatial analysis confirmed that most, if not all, of this component is disturbed, revealing no site structure.

Nesting ecology of mourning doves in changing urban landscapesMunoz, Anna Maria 17 February 2005 (has links)
Texas A&M University (TAMU) supports a substantial breeding population of mourning doves (Zenaida macroura) with one of the highest nest densities in Texas. There has been a long history of mourning dove research on the TAMU Campus, with initial population studies conducted in the 1950s, and the most recent studies occurring in the 1980s. The TAMU Campus and surrounding areas have experienced substantial changes associated with urbanization and expansion over the last 50 years, altering mourning dove habitat on and around campus. The objective of this study was to examine mourning dove nesting and production in an urban setting and determine how microhabitat and landscape features affect nest-site selection and nest success. Specifically, I (1) examined trends in mourning dove nesting density and nest success on the TAMU Campus, and (2) identified important microhabitat and landscape features associated with nest-site selection and nesting success. Mourning dove nests were located by systematically searching potential nest sites on a weekly basis from the late-March through mid-September. Nests were monitored until they either failed or successfully fledged at least 1 young. A total of 778 nests was located and monitored
on campus. All nest locations were entered into ArcView GIS. An equal number of nests were randomly generated in ArcView and assigned to non-nest trees to evaluate habitat variables associated with nest-site selection for mourning doves. Binary logistic regression was used to evaluate the significance of microhabitat and landscape variables to nest-site selection and nest success. Comparisons with data collected in 1950, 1978, and 1979 showed relatively similar nesting densities, but a significant decrease in nest success over time. A comparison of microhabitat features between actual nest trees and random locations (non-nest trees) indicated increasing values of tree diameter at breast height and tree species were important predictors of mourning dove nest-site selection. Landscape features found important in dove nest-site selection were proximity to open fields, roads, and buildings. Proximity to roads and buildings also were significant predictors of nest success. Combining significant microhabitat and landscape variables for nest-site selection increased the predictability of the model indicating a possible hierarchical nest-site selection strategy.

Performance-directed site selection system of AADMLSSPrajugo, Mieke 17 February 2005 (has links)
The popularity of the World Wide Web (WWW) in providing a vast array of information has drawn a large number of users in the past few years. The dramatic increase in the number of Internet users, however, has brought undesirable impacts on users, such as long response time and service unavailability. The utilization of multiple servers can be used to reduce adverse impacts. The challenge is to identify a good resource site to allocate to the user given a group of servers from which to select.
In this project, a performance-directed site selection system was developed for a web-based application called AADMLSS (African American Distributed Multiple Learning Styles System). Four different sets of experiments were conducted in this study. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the test system, two other server selection methods, Load-based and Random-based methods, were implemented for comparative purposes. The experiments were also run during daytime and
nighttime to see the impact of network load on the response time.
Experimental results indicate that the performance-directed site selection system outperforms the Load-based and Random-based methods
consistently. The response time is typically high during daytime and low during nighttime, indicating that the network load has an impact on the response time delivered. The results also show that server performance contributes to the overall response time, and network performance is the more dominating factor in determining a good resource site for the user.

Flow in internet shopping: a validity study and an examination of a model specifying antecedents and consequences of flowGuo, Yi 17 February 2005 (has links)
This dissertation studies the antecedents and consequences of the flow
experience in online retailing environments. Flow is the enjoyable and engrossing
experience that people feel when acting with total involvement. A review of previous
studies suggests that applying the notion of flow to understand the online consumer
experience is a promising but underdeveloped field with several conceptual and
methodological issues.
This dissertation attempts to contribute to our understanding of flow in online
shopping in three ways. First, a three-part validity study was carried out using different
approaches to construct validity and involving two sets of two flow measures: the Flow
State Scale (FSS, Jackson and Marsh 1996) and the Internet Flow Scale (IFS). The first
study related flow to behavioral criteria in online shopping. The second conducted a
traditional construct validity study in which we developed and tested a nomological
network of relationships between flow measures and other logically-related constructs.
This study also included a Multitrait-Multimethod validity study. The third was a
factorial validity study of the flow construct. These studies provided evidence of
construct validity for flow and suggested that the FSS had advantages over the IFS in
terms of validity.
Second, this dissertation tested a comprehensive model of flow that included the
underlying dimensions of flow, the mediating effects of perceived challenge and skill on
flow, and antecedents and consequences of flow. Consequences of flow include
perceived usefulness, affective responses to the site, and intentions to revisit and
purchase. Overall, results based on data collected by a controlled experiment supported
our model, suggesting that flow is a second-order construct and positively related to
outcome variables.
Thirdly, we studied the effect of Web site complexity on flow. Perceived site
complexity was found to effect flow negatively. Investigating the effects of it on
inducing flow in online shopping may eventually lead us to guidelines for improving the
shopping experience by designing more capable Web sites.

Site-specific strategies for cotton managementStabile, Marcelo de Castro Chaves 29 August 2005 (has links)
The use of site-specific data can enhance management decisions in the field.
Three different uses of site-specific data were evaluated and their outcomes are
promising. Historical yield data from yield monitors and height data from the HMAP
(plant height mapping) system were used to select representative areas within the field,
and areas of average conditions were used as sampling sites for COTMAN, a cotton
management expert system. This proved to be effective, with predicted cutout dates and
date of peak nodal development similar to the standard COTMAN approach. The
HMAP system was combined with historical height data for variable rate application of
mepiquat chloride, based on the plant growth rate. The system performance was
evaluated, but weather conditions in 2004 did not allow a true evaluation of varying
mepiquat chloride. A series of multi-spectral images were normalized utilizing the soil
line transformation (SLT) technique and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)
was calculated from the transformed images, from the raw image and for the true
reflectance images. The SLT technique was effective in tracking the change in true
reflectance NDVI in some images, but not all. Changes to the soil line extraction
program are suggested so that it more effectively determines soil lines.

Modeling correlation in binary count data with application to fragile site identificationHintze, Christopher Jerry 30 October 2006 (has links)
Available fragile site identification software packages (FSM and FSM3) assume
that all chromosomal breaks occur independently. However, under a Mendelian model of
inheritance, homozygosity at fragile loci implies pairwise correlation between
homologous sites. We construct correlation models for chromosomal breakage data in
situations where either partitioned break count totals (per-site single-break and doublebreak
totals) are known or only overall break count totals are known. We derive a
likelihood ratio test and NeymanâÂÂs C( ñ) test for correlation between homologs when
partitioned break count totals are known and outline a likelihood ratio test for correlation
using only break count totals. Our simulation studies indicate that the C( ñ) test using
partitioned break count totals outperforms the other two tests for correlation in terms of
both power and level. These studies further suggest that the power for detecting
correlation is low when only break count totals are reported. Results of the C( ñ) test for
correlation applied to chromosomal breakage data from 14 human subjects indicate that
detection of correlation between homologous fragile sites is problematic due to
sparseness of breakage data. Simulation studies of the FSM and FSM3 algorithms using
parameter values typical for fragile site data demonstrate that neither algorithm is
significantly affected by fragile site correlation. Comparison of simulated fragile site
misclassification rates in the presence of zero-breakage data supports previous studies
(Olmsted 1999) that suggested FSM has lower false-negative rates and FSM3 has lower
false-positive rates.

Cylindrical Detector and Preamplifier Design for Detecting NeutronsXia, Zhenghua 14 January 2010 (has links)
Tissue equivalent proportional counters are frequently used to measure dose and
dose equivalent in mixed radiation fields that include neutrons; however, detectors
simulating sites 1?m in diameter underestimate the quality factor, Q, for low energy
neutrons because the recoil protons do not cross the detectors. Proportional counters
simulating different site-sizes can be used to get a better neutron dose equivalent
measurement since the range and stopping power of protons generated by neutrons in the
tissue-equivalent walls depend on the energy of the primary neutrons. The differences in
the spectra measured by different size detectors will provide additional information on
the incident neutron energy.
Monte Carlo N-particle extended (MCNPX) code was used to simulate neutron
transportation in proportional counters of different simulated tissue diameter. These
Monte Carlo results were tested using two solid walled tissue equivalent proportional
counters, 2mm and 10mm in diameter, simulating tissue volumes 0.1?m and 0.5?m in
diameter, housed in a single vacuum chamber. Both detectors are built with 3mm thick
tissue equivalent plastic (A-150) walls and propane gas inside for dose measurement. Using these two detectors, the spectra were compared to determine the underestimation
of y for large detector, and thereby obtain more information of the incident neutron
particles.
Based on the MCNPX simulation and experimental results, we can see that the
smaller detector produces a larger average lineal energy than the larger detector, which
means the larger detector (0.5?m diameter tissue equivalent size) underestimates the Q
value for the low energy neutron, therefore underestimates the effective dose. These
results confirm the results of the typical analysis of lineal energy as a function of site
size.
