Abstract: Well-functioning stock exchanges have been linked to economic growth in many parts of the world. However, in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) listed companies and stock exchange activities reflect very little of country economic activities and economic output remains low. Research that has focused on u...     Read More

Abstract: The paper considers the performance of underwater acoustic ad-hoc networks. A uniform distribution of nodes over a finite area is assumed. The node-to-node channel is modeled through the Ricean fading model. The paper adopts a communication theoretic approach and studies the impact of point-to-...     Read More

Abstract: Since the publishing of what has become to be known as the ‘Brundtland-Report’ in 1987 the term sustainability has been used in various ways. However, there is almost no relevant literature that would explicitly exhort the concept of sustainability in the context of Organization Development ...     Read More

Abstract: Research shows that consumers share different content in online and offline settings. In offline settings, consumers tend to communicate primarily rational content with strangers and emotional content with people they know. In addition, previous findings indicate that consumers in collectivisti...     Read More

Abstract: Building construction consumes energy and materials. Even if the scientific community has developed two main voluntary protocols of building construction evaluation (BREAM and LEED), the authors argue that one of the main factors that could be incisive for a better environmental sustainability ...     Read More

Abstract: This document presents a detailed analytical and practical method for the estimation of battery life expectancy of a multi-hop mesh network. This network is composed by a set of MicaZ nodes using the XMesh routing protocol. The energy drawn for each of the tasks performed by the nodes is measur...     Read More

Abstract: The first attempt of this study is to investigate teacher efficacy construct. In so doing, this study tries to develop the extent to which the conceptualized teacher measure reproduces the data. Second, this study evaluates the adequacy of the teacher efficacy measure across teacher’s place of...     Read More

Abstract: Nonnegative Tensor Factorization has previously been used in many multi-way data analyses. We use NTF model to do personalized paper recommendation. For recommendation, we analyze four different multiplicative algorithms for NTF based on different decomposition models and different optimization...     Read More

Abstract: Routing protocols in underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) require the consideration of several aspects such as energy consumption, amount of packets delivered successfully (packet delivery ratio), network topology and propagation delay during the data transmission process. Once a wireles...     Read More

Abstract: This paper aims to recognize emotion through EEG. The EEG signals are acquired from the wireless wearable 8- channel Enobio device for the emotions such as smile and anger. The acquired EEG signals are processed to recognize selected emotions. The features like mean, standard deviation, median,...     Read More
