The technology acceptance model (Davis 1989) is one of the most widely used models of IT adoption. According to TAM, IT adoption is influenced by two perceptions: usefulness and ease-of-use. Research has shown that perceived usefulness (PU) affects intended adoption of IT, but has mostly failed to do so regarding perceived ease of use (PEOU). The basic proposition of this study is that this varying importance of PEOU may be related to the nature of the task. PEOU relates to assessments of the intrinsic characteristics of IT, such as the ease of use, ease of learning, flexibility, and clarity of its interface. PU, on the other hand, is a response to user assessment of its extrinsic, i.e., task-oriented, outcomes: how IT helps users achieve task-related objectives, such as task efficiency and effectiveness. Accordingly, the study theorizes that PEOU directly affects IT adoption only when the primary task for which the IT is deployed is directly associated with intrinsic IT characteris...

This research aims to examine the extent of customer satisfaction with electronic banking (e-banking) services in the Saudi banking sector and to address issues with quality of services by focusing on the following: (i) ease of use; (ii) information security and reliability and its role in influencing customer adoption of electronic services; (iii) the mechanisms of monitoring and control over these services. The research employed analytic and descriptive methodology, collecting primary data through a survey. It examined various aspects of electronic services provided by banks in Saudi Arabia to shed more light on these services and customer expectations, while also taking into account modern studies in this field as secondary data. The results show that Saudi banks have succeeded in attaining significant customer satisfaction by improving their electronic services, facilitating electronic transactions, improving processing performance and enhancing the specifications of electronic services. In addition, they have achieved effective communication with their customers as well as the speed of applications. However, there is an absence of awareness and guidance for customers about the e-banking system. The results of this research lead to some recommendations for improving the electronic services provided by banks in Saudi Arabia to enhance customer satisfaction.

Information systems (IS) implementation is costly and has a relatively low success rate. Since the seventies, IS research has contributed to a better understanding of this process and its outcomes. The early efforts concentrated on the identification of factors that facilitated IS use. This produced a long list of items that proved to be of little practical value. It became obvious that, for practical reasons, the factors had to be grouped into a model in a way that would facilitate analysis of IS use.In 1985, Fred Davis suggested the technology acceptance model (TAM). It examines the mediating role of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness in their relation between systems characteristics (external variables) and the probability of system use (an indicator of system success). More recently, Davis proposed a new version of his model: TAM2. It includes subjective norms, and was tested with longitudinal research designs. Overall the two explain about 40% of system’s use. Analysis of empirical research using TAM shows that results are not totally consistent or clear. This suggests that significant factors are not included in the models.We conclude that TAM is a useful model, but has to be integrated into a broader one which would include variables related to both human and social change processes, and to the adoption of the innovation model.

Simulation software is an important platform of finding results to be expected from a practical hardware setup
which is costly and tedious to modify frequently. There are a lot of Network Simulators in the communication world. Some of
them are dedicated to wireless network, some of them are dedicated to wired network or both type of networks. Because of
wide variations in operating systems, hardware requirements, programming software requirements, output features and
scalability, it is very difficult to choose a suitable simulator for a specific job. Our aim is to subjugate the barrier. We have
studied and compared the detail features of the Network Simulators for the sake of choosing the absolutely necessary one from the pool of simulators.

This paper describes an implementation of a remote controlled robotic arm with six degrees of freedom which is able to pick an object with a specific weight and can place them in a desired location. The method of design of the remote controlled robotic arm consists of two stages. First stage is the construction of the mechanical structure following modular concept with six degrees of freedom and the second is to design the interface of components of the robotic arm to control it via a wireless joystick. To ensure ease of use, wireless system is introduced in this robotic arm. This kind of the arm can be applied in industrial sectors where automaton is profoundly needed.

A biosensor is an analytical device that consists of an immobilized biocomponent in conjunction with a transducer, and represents a synergistic combination of biotechnology and microelectronics. This review summarizes the use of biosensors for detecting and quantifying heavy metal ions. Heavy metal contamination is of serious concern to human health since these substances are non-biodegradable and retained by the ecological system. Conventional analytical techniques for heavy metals (such as cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) are precise but suffer from the disadvantages of high cost, the need for trained personnel and the fact that they are mostly laboratory bound. Biosensors have the advantages of specificity, low cost, ease of use, portability and the ability to furnish continuous real time signals. The analysis of heavy metal ions can be carried out with biosensors by using both protein (enzyme, metal-binding protein and antibody)-based and whole-cell (natural and genetically engineered microorganism)-based approaches.

This paper describes a study on electronic book (eBook) among Malaysian children. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the Malaysian children acceptance of three types of eBook readers (i.e. Plus, Comic, and Spiral). The acceptance study is based on users' perceptions on ease of use and usefulness of the three readers. As a result, majority of respondents do not give clear distinction among the readers. Generally, all readers are useful and easy to use because very big majority of the respondents (the least is 74.8%) agree with the positive statements. The users also perceived Comic reader as the easiest reader to use.

Currently, the world is witnessing a remarkable development in the modern means and electronics techniques, especially the social networking sites which became available in many sectors including the tourism sector. This increases the competition between the tourism companies to provide the best offers to the individuals about the tourists' sites. Due to the reason that few studies investigated the effect of social media networks in encouraging tourism, this has created the need to conduct this study to reach results about the extent of social media networks in promoting tourism in Jordan. The significance of the study stems from being treating a new topic with a significant effect on the electronic market. The study also addressed the important side of improving the local income resulting from the tourism sector since this study is focusing on vital and essential topics in modern marketing.

Decentralized drinking-water systems are an important element in the process of reaching the Millennium Development Goals, as centralized systems are often deficient or non-existent in developing and transition countries (DC and TC). Most water-quality problems are due to hygiene factors and pathogens. A range of decentralized systems is available to counter these problems, including thermal and/or UV methods, physical removal and chemical treatment. This review focuses on decentralized systems that treat the potable water (drinking and cooking) of a single household (point-of-use systems) or a community (small-scale systems). For application in DC and TC, important boundary conditions for decentralized systems include low costs, ease of use, sustainability, low maintenance and independence of utilities (energy sources). Although some low-cost systems are available, their application is limited by time-consuming daily operation and maintenance. Other systems are too expensive for th...
