The Impact Of Booth Recommendation System On Exhibition Attendees\u27 Unplanned Visit Behavior: An Extrinsic-Intrinsic Dichotomy Perspective
Our study on unplanned behaviour theory have examined the effect of booth recommendation system (BRS) on exhibition arise from either an extrinsic or intrinsic motivation. Previous studies, however, ignored the importance of the unplanned behavioural effectiveness through BRS that bonds extrinsic and intrinsic motivation together to deliver unexpected outcomes in exhibition. In this paper, we propose a model of the impact of BRS where perception of usefulness and threat to freedom of choice mediates the effect of both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation on unplanned booth visit behavior. We collected data from 101 visitors of exhibition and analyzed it using the Partial Lease Square (PLS) method. Our findings, interestingly, show that only intrinsic motivations (escape, attraction) significantly influence both perceived usefulness of BRS and threat to freedom of choice, however extrinsic motivation (information) does not significantly influences. Perceived usefulness of BRS mediates directly the effect of escape and attraction on unplanned booth visit behavior. The results and implications are further discussed
Structural and magnetic study of a dilute magnetic semiconductor: Fe doped CeO2 nanoparticles
This paper reports the effect of Fe doping on the structure and room
temperature ferromagnetism of CeO2 nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction and
selective area electron diffraction measurement reflects that Ce1-xFexO2 (x =
0.0 - 0.07) nanoparticles exhibit single phase nature with cubic structure and
none of the sample showed the presence of any secondary phase. The mean
particle size calculated by using a transmission electron microscopy
measurement was found to increase with increase in Fe content. DC magnetization
measurements performed at room temperature indicates that all the samples
exhibit ferromagnetism. The saturation magnetic moment has been found to
increase with an increase in the Fe content.Comment: 16 Pages, 5 figure, 1 Table, Accepted in JN
Smart Tourism of the Korea: A Case Study
The utilization of Information Technology (IT) is spreading in tourism industry with explosive growth of Internet, Social Network Service (SNS) through smart phone applications. Especially, since intensive information has high value on tourism area, IT is becoming a crucial factor in the tourism industry. The smart tourism is explained as an holistic approach that provide tour information, service related to travel, such as destination, food, transportation, reservation, travel guide, conveniently to tourists through IT devices. In our research, we focus on the Korea Tourism Organization’s (KTO’s) smart tourism case. This research concentrates on the necessity and effectiveness of smart tourism which delivers travel information in real-time base. Also, our study overview how KTO’s IT operation manages each channel, website, SNS, applications and finally suggests the smart tourism’s future direction for the successful realization
Physical Properties of the Transiting Planetary System TrES-3
We present four new transits of the planetary system TrES-3 observed between
2009 May and 2010 June. Among these, the third transit by itself indicates
possible evidence for brightness disturbance, which might be the result of the
planet blocking a cool starspot on the stellar surface. A total of 109 transit
times, including our measurements, were used to determine the improved
ephemeris with a transit epoch of 2454185.9109440.000072 HJED and an
orbital period of 1.306187000.00000015 d. We analyzed the transit light
curves using the JKTEBOP code and adopting the quadratic limb-darkening law. In
order to derive the physical properties of the TrES-3 system, the transit
parameters are combined with the empirical relations from eclipsing binary
stars and stellar evolutionary models. The stellar mass and radius obtained
from a calibration using , log and [Fe/H] are consistent
with those from the isochrone analysis. We found that the exoplanet TrES-3b has
a mass of 1.930.07 M, a radius of 1.300.04 R,
a surface gravity of log =3.450.02, a density of 0.820.06
, and an equilibrium temperature of 164123 K. The results
are in good agreement with theoretical models for gas giant planets.Comment: 15 pages, including 4 figures and 4 tables, accepted for publication
