Relativistic quantum kinetic equation of the Vlasov type for systems with internal degrees of freedom

We present an approach to derive a relativistic kinetic equation of the Vlasov type. Our approach is especially reliable for the description of quantum field systems with many internal degrees of freedom. The method is based on the Heisenberg picture and leads to a kinetic equation which fulfills the conservation laws. We apply the approach to the standard Walecka Lagrangian and an effective chiral Lagrangian.Comment: 11 pages, LaTeX, uses ijmpel.st

Comparison of Information Technology Adoption Rates across Laggards, Innovators and Others Rukmini Reddy Muduganti

It is important to predict and analyze user acceptance of information technology in order to address success and failures of technological produ cts. The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) has been used for two decades in empirical studies to predict use r acceptance of information technology. Agent-based modeling (ABM) is well suited for studying user acceptance of information technology, which is an instance of contingent behavior. In this paper we extend our research on ABM of the TRA by comparing technology adoption rates across varied sections of a population. We discuss intention variations among laggards, innovators and the undecided sections of employees in an organization. Our implementation is cost effective and easy to use in contrast to the empirical method. The results we produced corroborate the results obtained from the last few decades of empirical research in this field
