This study reveals different types of self-service kiosk customer value and synthesizes the self-service kiosk customer value framework, which includes four value groups and three types of customer value elements. The study also reveals gaps which stem from the inconsistency and fragmented nature of previous research on customer value in self-service kiosks. Based on the review of relevant literat
Background: Repetitive work, work performed in awkward and constrained postures and work with excessive or sustained muscular load is common in many occupational settings. Such work is known to be risk factors for developing musculoskeletal disorders in the neck/shoulder region and in arms and hands. One method that can be used to assess the exposure to these risk factors is technical recordings t
The recently discovered Kepler circumbinary systems and the circumbinary polar-ring debris disc in the 99 Herculis system call for the study of circumbinary orbits. As an approximation, it is advisable to investigate the problem with the assumption that the outer body is massless. In such a scheme, we briefly summarize the main characteristics of the evolution of the orbits and give the general so
Over the years, many jet clustering algorithms have been proposed for the analysis of hadronic final states in e+e- annihilations. These have somewhat different emphasis and are therefore more or less suited for various applications. We here review some of the most used and compare them from a theoretical and experimental point of view.
Purpose – This paper will examine the unsafe work practices that are plaguing the construction industry. Statistics show that four out of five of all workplace accidents are attributed to unsafe behaviour. Research studies have sought to understand worker self-protection. For example, it is difficult to make predictions of conditions that influenced worker’s behaviour to act unsafely or safely in
LSTM architectures (Hochreiter and Schmidhuber, 1997) have become standard to recognize named entities (NER) in text (Lample et al., 2016; Chiu and Nichols, 2016). Nonetheless, Zhang et al. (2015) recently proposed an approach based on fixed-size ordinally forgetting encoding (FOFE) to translate variable-length contexts into fixed-length features. This encoding method can be used with feed-forward
We report on a calculation of ε′K/εK at next-to-leading in the 1/Nc expansion and to lowest order in Chiral Perturbation Theory. We discuss the short-distance matching, the scale and scheme dependence as well as the long-distance short-distance matching. We include the two known chiral corrections to our result and discuss further order p4 corrections to it.
Bacterial infection is one of the major problems for human health. To prevent outbreak of bacteria-caused diseases, early diagnosis of bacterial pathogen and effective destruction of pathogenic microorganisms are in urgent need. In this work, we developed a new multifunctional nanocomposite material that can effectively capture and destroy bacteria. Epoxide-modified nanoparticles were synthesized
For treatment of systemic malignancies, when external radiation therapy is not applicable, radionuclide therapy can be an alternative. In this form of therapy, radionuclides are administered to the patient, often in a form where the radionuclide is labelled to a molecule that plays the active part in the localization of the tumor. Since the aim is to impart lethal damage to tumor cells while maint
The MAX IV LINAC operates both as a full-energy injector for two electron storage rings, and as a driver for a Short Pulse Facility (SPF). Recently a conceptual design report for a Soft X-ray Laser (SXL) beamline at the end of the existing LINAC was started. For SPF and SXL operation, it is important to characterize beam parameters such as bunch profile, slice energy spread and slice emittance. Fo
We claim that experimental meson spectroscopy now requires the existence of constituent gluons. Drawing from several models, we study the number of mesons with given quantum numbers that can be expected in a given mass range, concentrating on pseudoscalars below 2 GeV. Counting only quark-antiquark states gives fewer mesons than are now seen, but including gluon degrees of freedom so that glueball
In this study, a sampling and analysis tool for aerosol particles has been developed. Its purpose is to characterize upper tropospheric aerosols, where concentrations are low. Since measurements will be made from an airplane, a time resolution of one hour is desirable. These conditions require efficient sampling and analysis with low detection limits. To accomplish this, our sampler uses impaction
Svenska EU-parlamentariker har visat att det går att driva på för en aktiv klimat- och miljöpolitik inom EU, skriver Markku Rummukainen, professor i klimatologi, och Roger Hildingsson, statsvetare och forskare i klimatpolitik.
