Banks have moved towards technology-based customer services such as mobile banking (mbanking);as an alternative to traditional inter-personal services. However, M-banking still faces resistance that may hamper customers' adoption in Egypt. Following a mixed method approach, this study involves two main phases. First, a quantitative Consumer survey is conducted in the form of 350 structured questionnaires to identify the main barriers towards Mbanking. Then, decision makers in 5 different public and private banks are interviewed in order to find similarities and difference, and identify service providers' roles regarding these barriers. Questionnaire data was statistically analysed using independent T-Test, frequencies and cross tabulations, while interview data was interpretively analysed. Results enabled the researchers to identify the risk, usage, and tradition as the most m-banking barriers that discourage m-banking adoption in Egypt as seen by the two main players.
By combining Chebyshev polynomials with modulus compute, extending Chebyshev polynomials’ definition domain to real number, some conclusions have been drawn by theoretic verification and data analyses. Making use of ...

In the article the construction of improved apparatus of opposite rotational flotations for collection of ready nanodispersed product is considered. The main feature of perfected construction is an introduction of two sources of ultrasonic vibrations into the apparatus, for which piezoelectric vibrating systems with the disk radiators are used. Carried out analysis of the apparatus of opposite rotational flotations by finite element method showed high efficiency of developed centrifugal apparatus providing collection of 90% of nanomaterial particles.

Information Retrieval (IR) aims to discover relevant information according to a user's information need. The classic Probability Ranking Principle (PRP) forms the theoretical basis for probabilistic IR models. This ranking principle, however, neglects the uncertainty introduced through the estimations from retrieval models. Inspired by the Post-Modern Portfolio Theory (PMPT), this paper proposes a mean-semivariance framework to handle the uncertainty. The proposed framework not only deals with the uncertainty but has the ability to distinguish bad surprises (downside uncertainty) and good surprises (upside uncertainty) when optimizing a ranking list. The experimental results shows that the proposed method improves the IR performance over the PRP baseline in terms of most of IR evaluation metrics; moreover, the results suggest that the mean-semivariance framework can further boost the top-position ranking quality.

Digital content has been transforming from pure textual message to multimedia due to technical evolution of computer and networking, leading the development of object-based streaming MPEG-4 to interactive multimedia content. The progress of authoring methods from audio-video authoring to object-based scene authoring also ushers more multimedia content presenting devices. In this study, a scene-based document model and a multimedia authoring tool were constructed, under which the script language serves as the intermediate language between our authoring tool and MPEG-4. With the authoring tool, a multimedia authoring environment is created when combining the script language with MPEG-4. The visual tool provides a friendly for users who are unfamiliar with the grammar and syntax of XMT to create MPEG-4 content. Feature of MPEG-4 players are designing and will be developed for personal computers and handheld devices. Adopting component-based framework and was created in Java, the authoring tool supports higher portability in adding more functions to meet different demands.
