An integrated model of a representative defense contractor
A model of a representative defense contractor is formulated. The model is formulated in segments which correspond to the markets in which the defense contractor operates. The supply of input segment describes the input variables in the model. The manufacturing segment characterizes the defense …

Towards an Integrated Model of the Mental Lexicon
<p>Several models have been proposed attempting to describe the mental lexicon-the abstract organization of words in the human mind. Numerous studies have shown that by representing the mental lexicon as a network, where nodes represent words and edges connect similar words using a metric based on …

Integrated Model to Plan Advanced Public Transportation Systems
… primary objective of this study is to develop an integrated public transportation planning framework to evaluate and plan Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS). With this purpose, a systems approach point of view is adopted to study the influence of new APTS technology in supply and demand …

Toward an integrated model of sentence processing in reading
… Therefore, it is necessary to establish explicit models of the respective mechanisms as well as their causal relationship with observable behavior. There are models of lexical processing and eye movement control on the one side and models on sentence parsing and memory processes on the other. …

Antecedents and Consequences of Job Security: An Integrated Model
… serve to alter perceptions of job security? An integrated model based on person-environment fit theories of stress (e.g., Everly & Sobelman, 1987; Lazarus, 1966), theories of job adaptation (e.g., Hulin, 1991), and Weiss and Cropanzano's (1996) Affective Events Theory is proposed which …

Developing and Testing an Integrated Model of Choking in Sport
… is what I have labeled the 'automatic execution model' (Baumeister, 1984), the basic premise being that choking occurs due to the inhibition of well-learned or automatic skills. The present dissertation was designed to test the automatic execution model in a sport context. Beyond this, I was …

An integrated model of personal sector expenditure and portfolio decisions
In this study a quarterly model of UK Personal Sector portfolio and expenditure decisions over the period 1976 to 1967 is constructed and estimated. This model differs from most other empirical studies of Personal Sector portfolio behaviour in that separabililty of preferences is not assumed and so …

Towards an integrated model for specifying and measuring quality in use
… community, there are few agreed software quality models that capture our current meaning of usability. The Human Computer Interaction community has also developed different models for specifying or measuring usability. However, PCI models are not well integrated within the software engineering …

Testing an integrated model of racism-related stress among black Americans
… purpose of this study was to empirically test an integrated model of racism-related stress that incorporated aspects of two existing models of racism-related stress: the Biopsychosocial Model of Perceived Racism (BMPR; Clark, Anderson, Clark, & Williams, 1999) and the Model of Racism-related …

Examining the Continued Usage of Electronic Knowledge Repositories: An Integrated Model
… of this study is to develop and test a research model that explains users' continued usage behavior of EKRs in public accounting firms. Theoretically grounded in the expectation-confirmation model (ECM) and commitment-based model, the research model presented in this study integrates both of …

Simulating Water Resource Systems as a Set of Loosely Integrated Model Components
<p>Computer models are widely used tools that aid engineers and scientists in answering water resources research and management questions. To date, many of these questions have been isolated to parts of the overall system, and as a result, so have the majority of models. Current management policies …

An Examination of Juvenile Delinquency and Victimization Using an Integrated Model Approach.
… activities were synthesized into one theoretical model to determine its predictive utility in the explanation of juvenile delinquency and victimization. Using cross-sectional data obtained from the Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) survey, a sample of 1,555 middle school students …

Integrated model-based run-to-run uniformity control for epitaxial silicon deposition.
… facilities require an increasingly expensive and integrated set of processes. The bounds on efficiency and repeatability for each process step continue to tighten under the pressure of economic forces and product performance requirements. This thesis addresses these issues and describes the …

Towards an integrated model of feedforward-feedback processing in the visual cortex
… system is a biologically-plausible computational model of the feedforward part of the ventral stream in the visual cortex and successfully models human performance on visual recognition tasks for the first 50-100 milliseconds since the presentation of the visual stimulus. We make the first steps …

The value of e-banking services in the Egyptian environment : an integrated model
… Problem: Extant literature lacks an integrated model of value management relevant to the e-banking services. Empirical studies addressing the value of e-banking services in terms of antecedents and consequence in general and in the Egyptian environment are limited. Moreover, customer …
