Safe crossing among pedestrians based on extended theory of planned behaviour
… extension of the well established variables of Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) which include Attitude (ATT), Subjective Norm (SN), Perceived Behavioural Control (PBC), Perceived Consequence (PC), Expectation (EX) and Perceived Safety (PS) was used in this study toward using crossing …

Investigating Consumers' Software Piracy Using An Extended Theory Of Reasoned Action
… hypotheses were supported. Consistent with The Theory of Reasoned Action, attitudes toward software piracy and subjective norms were significant predictors of intention to pirate software. However, our findings are inconsistent with previous studies with regard to the relative importance of …

Using an extended theory of planned behaviour to investigate sleep impaired driving
… 6pm, respectively (Summala & Mikkola, 1994). An extended theory of planned behaviour (TPB; Ajzen, 1988,1991) was used to understand the reasons why young, middle-aged and elderly adults drive while sleep impaired with a view to reducing the incidence of this behaviour. Specifically, the …

Charitable Giving to Distant Others: An extended theory of planned behaviour model
… cultural ties between lenders and borrowers. An extended model of the theory of planned behaviour for charitable giving to distant others is then proposed that includes five new constructs to the charitable giving and donor behaviour literature: belief in a just world, justice restoration …

Reducing Anthropogenic Food Sources: An Extended Theory of Planned Behavior and Audience Analysis
… I used an online survey (n = 349) to test an extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model and identified predictors of behavioral intention to remove anthropogenic food sources. The comprehensive model includes the original TPB variables of perceived behavioral control (PBC), social norms, …

Understanding factors for investment into South African diaspora bonds: an extended theory of planned behaviour
… bonds, employing thematic analysis within an extended Theory of Planned Behaviour framework. The research entailed semi-structured interviews with 11 individuals from the South African diaspora based in the USA, UK, and Australia. The results of the thematic analysis reveal that attitudinal, …

An Integrated Business Readiness Framework of E-Marketplace Retailers in Malaysia: Extended Theory of Planned Behaviour
… perceived behavioural control postulated in the Theory of Planned Behaviour were selected as a measure of intentions. Current findings have validated the positive significant impact of behavioural intentions on organisational commitment and business readiness. Intention to enhance digital …

A study of the adoption of information technology by end-users: Testing an extended Theory of Reasoned Action
… Diffusion of Innovations (Rogers, 1962) and the Theory of Reasoned Action (Fishbcin & Ajzcn, 1975), an attitude-behaviour theory. Flaws were found in the construction and application of the model, most notably in relation to the origin of belief statements used on their instrument. Nevertheless, …

Piezoelectric response of bone and tendon subjected to inhomogeneous stress
… stressed, they obey the classical or standard theory of piezoelectricity. However, this thesis shows that when bone and tendon are subjected to in-homogeneous stress, as in cantilever bending, they do not obey the classical piezoelectric theory, although the piezoelectric minerals quartz and …

Comparison of theory and experiment for flexural-torsional buckling of laminated composite columns
Vlasov’s one-dimensional structural theory for thin-walled open section bars was originally developed and used for metallic elements. The theory was recently extended to laminated bars fabricated from advanced composite materials. The purpose of this research is to provide a study and assessment of …

Noncommutative Complete Isolated Singularities
… noncommutative case. We present some motivating theory in chapter 2 building to the definition and some extended theory of graded isolated singularities in chapter 3. In chapter 4 we build theory around ring completions allowing us to pass results about a connected graded isolated singularity …

A design theory for totally self-checking and concurrent error detecting arithmetic circuits
… the applicability of Arithmetic Decomposition Theory (a theory for the design and analysis of arithmetic structures) to the design of concurrent error detecting arithmetic structures. Arithmetic Decomposition Theory shows how large, complex arithmetic circuits can be constructed by …

Investigation of protein-protein interaction using atomic force microscopy
… like avidin and biotin; Secondly to improve the theory that is used to analyze the force data, so the mechanism of binding and dissociation of the molecular bonds, as well the extracted dissociation rate can be more reliably determined; Thirdly to utilize the extended theory to investigate …

An Empirical Exploration of Countermeasures in HCI-Based Deception Research
… and analyzing this literature, Signal Detection Theory (SDT) was leveraged to generate an enhanced and extended theory-based framework for countermeasures. Third, an experiment was designed and conducted to explore the implications of this theory-based framework in the context of an HCI-based …

THE COVARIANT APPROACH TO SPACE TIMES ANDSOME EXTENDED THEORIES OF GRAVITY
… to specify the geometric correction due to the extended theory as a perfect fluid. The analysis is then extended to the broader class of doubly-warped spacetimes, employed in investigations of radiating stars and cosmological models. Here the Ricci tensor also contains a heat flow and …

Developing interventions for the adoption of solar home systems in rural areas of Vhembe District, South Africa
… A behavioural approach underpinned by the extended Theory of Planned Behaviour was followed first to understand the behavioural beliefs and, later, identify behavioural determinations and predictors shaping SHS adoption intention among the selected villages of Vhembe District Municipality. …

Bubble Induced Heat Transfer in Two-Phase Systems
The two-phase theory of fluidization has been extended to cover heat transfer at surfaces by introducing the concept of a property boundary layer in the vicinity of the surface. The property boundary layer is a consequence of changed voidage and hence of changed thermophysical properties of the …

Extended Situation Awareness Theory for Mobile Augmented Reality Interfaces to Support Navigation
… used to extend current Situation Awareness (SA) theory and evaluate the application of an extended theory. These were achieved in the context of a reality-augmented environment for the task of exploring an unfamiliar urban context. The first study examined SA in terms of the processes that an …
