The introduction of self-service technologies (SSTs) into the service encounter necessitates research to better understand customers’ attitudes toward providers and technologies, their intentions use technology-based delivery systems. In this research, authors develop empirically test three nested structural models that include a hierarchy consumer both interpersonal technological aspects SSTs. findings indicate SST options are driven by multiple, hierarchical attitudes. addition direct...

DNA profiles from multiple-contributor samples are interpreted by comparing the probabilities of under alternative propositions. The propositions may specify some known contributors to sample and also a number unknown contributors. probability alleles carried set people, or unknown, depends on allelic frequencies upon any relationships among people. Membership same subpopulation implies relationship shared evolutionary history, this effect has been incorporated into probabilities. This...

Selected profiles typed at the Promega PowerPlex 21 (PP21) loci were examined to determine if a linear or exponential model best described relationship between peak height and molecular weight. There fewer large departures from observed expected heights using model. The larger differences that exclusively high weight loci. We conclude data supports use of an curve versus in PP21 profiles. believe this observation will improve our ability for DNA interpretation software.

Summary In stream ecosystems, bacterial communities play an important role in nutrient and energy cycling processes as they are among the most numerous active organisms at basal trophic level of food web. Bacterial biofilms have been shown to correlate well with different catchment land use therefore provide opportunity for development a novel ecological indicator ecosystem health. this study, community index ( BCI ) model was developed validated using national data set biofilm profiles...
