In destination image studies, researchers often compare individuals and groups with measurement scales. Classical Test Theory (CTT) assumes, when comparing groups, that scale measures the same social psychological construct ...

Website quality of online travel agencies and the impact of perceived website quality on customer behavior are still the research areas to be investigated by the academics. The present study explores the relationships ...

A new modulation scheme called orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with subcarrier gap modulation (OFDM-SGM) is proposed. The proposed scheme embeds extra information bits by exploiting the gap between the active ...

Research has shown that technology, when used prudently, has the potential to improve instruction and learning both in and out of the classroom. Only a handful of African tertiary institutions have fully deployed learning ...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare treatment outcomes with different maxillary protraction methods in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion resulting from maxillary retrognathia. Setting and Sample ...

Electromagnetic design optimization of axial-flux rotary micromachines utilizing double-layer permanent magnets is presented and applied to a micro-scale generator/spirometer currently under development. Double-layer magnet ...

This study was conducted to investigate some surface properties of wood specimens of heat treated Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) after weathering such as surface hardness, surface roughness, gloss, and color changes. ...

Skilful forecasting of monthly streamflow in intermittent rivers is a challenging task in stochastic hydrology. In this study, genetic algorithm (GA) was combined with gene expression programming (GEP) as a new hybrid model ...

This paper provides a comparative study on the performance of different modulation options for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in terms of their spectral efficiency, reliability, peak-to-average power ...

Rainfall is considered the hardest weather variable to forecast, and its cause-effect relationships often cannot be expressed in simple or complex mathematical forms. This study introduces a novel hybrid model to month ...
