Sustainability certification labels have become an important tool for aiding consumers in evaluating food safety, health concerns, and environmental friendliness. Few studies explored the attributes of consumers’ consciousnesses from perspective concerns; hence, we focus on that lack. Our study contributes to need better understand consumer attention sustainability information when making coffee attribute choices. We aimed explore importance attach paid these while choosing willingness pay...

Until end January 2010, domestic banks is to 37, average customers served each branch less than 4,000. all wish be more competitive such an environment, new advertising and marketing skills are taken. New services technology also provided order attract customers. The study aims discuss relationship among three aspects including Electronic...

We examine the exclusive rare decays of $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}_{0}^{*}(1430)\ensuremath{\ell}\overline{\ensuremath{\ell}}$ with ${K}_{0}^{*}(1430)$ being $p$-wave scalar meson and $\ensuremath{\ell}=\ensuremath{\nu}$, $e$, $\ensuremath{\mu}$, $\ensuremath{\tau}$ in standard model. The form factors for $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}_{0}^{*}$ transition matrix elements are evaluated light-front quark For $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}_{0}^{*}\ensuremath{\ell}\overline{\ensuremath{\ell}}$,...

This paper discusses the analytical typology of organizational innovation in service industry. After outlining empirical approaches, this offers a new measurement model for and theoretical researches. With the construction model, study concludes that weights important dimensions measuring are: technical (0.416), administrative (0.584), external relational (0.318), internal (0.266), product/service (0.262), process (0.154). proposes tests validity multidimensional measure...

Under situations of limited resources, soft powers such as technology development and innovation become critical capabilities for a nation’s continuous growth sustainability. Therefore, we used analytical hierarchy process (AHP), data envelopment analysis (DEA), Malmquist productivity index (MPI) to evaluate the performance research projects in 6 main fields study managed by Ministry Science Technology (MOST) Taiwan from 2002 2012. Among study, Agriculture Humanities were two efficiency;...

The service of drone filming and photography has been getting more popular. However, the provider does not have enough information about quality indicators its weights. Analyzing weights by Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) combined with Similarity Aggregation Method (SAM) is an important research topic. Therefore, in order to solve this real life problem, based on SERVQUAL scale, analyzes rankings from a comprehensive consensus FANP geometric mean SAM, then compares differences between...

A polar mirror symmetrical contribution originated from the arrangement of grain boundaries existing in ZnO film is detected by reflective second harmonic generation pattern. The ordering boundary dependent on kinetic energy deposited atoms and affects quality films. net direction trends toward [1¯10] Si(111) to reach minimum for better film. structure mirrorlike under optically macroscopic viewpoint presents a correlation with quality.

The objective of this research is to construct Taiwan’s high-tech industries organizational innovation evaluation index weight, in order evaluate current level ability area, and be a guideline for business. In addition, an model was also constructed act as foundation theory. methods being employed included literature review, in-depth interview small group technique, which were used first step constructing measurement model. Before the present study, a weighted created through integrating...

Abstract Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method that uses mathematical programming model to determine the relative efficiency of decision-making unit, and gives optimal weight for set inputs outputs. The scores weights will generally differ from unit this flexibility in choice both strength weakness approach. generated be fair equitable, not affected by subjective factors. that, if selected intentionally, it may then make relatively efficient, its necessarily come an inherent...

A decision model is developed to help managers select the most appropriate sequences of plans for product research and development (R&D) projects under strict constraints on budget resources. In recent years, many organizations have changed from discipline-oriented focusing integrated programs related outcomes. For a decision-maker these high-profile R&D programs, it critical understand which activities are important, considering both investment feasibility cost-effectiveness. This paper...

From the perspective of sustainable development and based on literature review, this paper introduces modified Delphi Decision Making Trial Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) to explore critical factors in rural areas their correlation. Through review analysis, nine key are first identified, namely industrial activation, working environment, living conditions, infrastructure, public involvement, culture, government-related departments, educational resources, health welfare. DEMATEL is then...

The conventional methods for indoor localization rely on technologies such as RADAR, ultrasonic, laser range localization, beacon technology, and others. Developers in the industry have started utilizing these techniques iBeacon systems that use Bluetooth sensors to measure object's location. iBeacon-based system is appealing due its low cost, ease of setup, signaling, maintenance; however, with current it challenging achieve high accuracy object or tracking. Furthermore, iBeacons'...

The primary modelling tools used to analyse regional economic issues include econometric forecasting models, fixed price input–output (I–O) multi-sector social accounting matrix (SAM) and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. CGE models combine the advantages of econometric, I–O SAM, strengthening theoretical basis effort thus enabling more precise policy analysis. Current literature includes international trade, tax reform, energy environment issues. However, application this...

Abstract The island nucleation in the context of heterogeneous thin film growth is often complicated by kinetics involved subsequent thermodynamics. We show how evolution sputtered Zn on Si(111) magnetron sputtering a large area can be completely understood as model system combining reflective second harmonic generation (RSHG), 2D pole figure with synchrotron X-ray diffraction. dots are then oxidized surfaces when exposed to atmosphere Zn/ZnO dots. Derived from RSHG patterns at different...
