The Studies of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) in M-Commerce Context

Shoaib Imtiaz 한국디지털융합학회 2018 IJICTDC Vol.3 No.1

The acceptance and use of information technology (IT) and information system (IS) innovations have been a key apprehension for research and practice. Since the emergence of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), it has been used by a large number of studies for the adoption and acceptance of different technologies (e.g. m-commerce), and hence it seems to have turned into a prevalent theoretical choice in the field of information technology (IT)/information system (IS) adoption and diffusion. With the progress of this theory and finding the future research directions, this paper presents the critical review on the studies of the UTAUT and UTAUT2 model by focusing on the findings of basic constructs of these two models to predict Behavioral Intention (BI). Results from previous studies of UTAUT and UTAUT2 reveals that constructs of these two models contributed to Behavioral Intention to adopt and use m-commerce and its applications.

cMapper: gene-centric connectivity mapper for EBI-RDF platform

Shoaib, Muhammad,Ansari, Adnan Ahmad,Ahn, Sung-Min Oxford University Press 2017 Bioinformatics Vol.33 No.2

<P>Results: cMapper allows biologists to search data entities in the EBI-RDF platform that are connected to genes or small molecules of interest in multiple biological contexts. The input to cMapper consists of a set of genes or small molecules, and the output are data entities in six independent EBI-RDF databases connected with the given genes or small molecules in the user's query. cMapper provides output to users in the form of a graph in which nodes represent data entities and the edges represent connections between data entities and inputted set of genes or small molecules. Furthermore, users can apply filters based on database, taxonomy, organ and pathways in order to focus on a core connectivity graph of their interest. Data entities from multiple databases are differentiated based on background colors. cMapper also enables users to investigate shared connections between genes or small molecules of interest. Users can view the output graph on a web browser or download it in either GraphML or JSON formats.</P>

Radiation detector deadtime and pile up: A review of the status of science

Shoaib Usman,Amol Patil 한국원자력학회 2018 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.50 No.7

Since the early forties, researchers from around the world have been studying the phenomenon ofdeadtime in radiation detectors. Many have attempted to develop models to represent this phenomenon. Two highly idealized models; paralyzable and non-paralyzable are commonly used by most individualsinvolved in radiation measurements. Most put little thought about the operating conditions and applicabilityof these ideal models for their experimental conditions. So far, there is no general agreement onthe applicability of any given model for a specific detector under specific operating conditions, let alone auniversal model for all detectors and all operating conditions. Further the related problem of pile-up isoften confused with the deadtime phenomenon. Much work, is needed to devise a generalized andpractical solution to these related problems. Many methods have been developed to measure andcompensate for the detector deadtime count loss, and many researchers have addressed deadtime andpulse pile-up. The goal of this article is to summarize the state of science of deadtime; measurement andcompensation techniques as proposed by some of the most significant work on these topics and to reviewthe deadtime correction models applicable to present day radiation detection systems.

Internet-based brand loyalty in male and female : “It is difficult to attain male customers but easier to retain, female customers are easier to attain but difficult to retain”

Shoaib Imtiaz,Jafar Ali,Muhammad Awais Siddique,Muhammad Asif Tanveer 한국디지털융합학회 2018 IJICTDC Vol.3 No.2

The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of the attitudes of male and female customers regarding internet-based brand loyalty and its determinants in the Pakistani garments context. This study proposes that perceived quality, perceived value, customer satisfaction, and brand image both directly and indirectly affects internet-based brand loyalty. A survey questionnaire with a convenience sampling approach was used to collect the primary data and it was collected from 197 customers of garment brands in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. The proposed conceptual model indicated that the perceived quality, perceived value, customer satisfaction, and brand image are important determinants of internet-based brand loyalty. All the hypotheses developed in this study were found statistically significant in the context of males and females. The study applies the regression analysis technique by using SPSS. The differences between male and female examined separately as well as together and the results showed that satisfied female customers have less internet-based brand loyalty than satisfied male customers (male customers are easier to retain as compare to female customers). This is because; loyalty and satisfaction of females are greatly shaped by the higher brand image and perceived quality, whereas male customers become more satisfied and loyal through attaining higher perceived value. The conclusions and the implications for internet-based brand loyalty are discussed.

Multi Unit Iris Biometric Encrypted Template Formation and Authentication

Shoaib Amin Banday,Saba Mushtaq,A.H. Mir 보안공학연구지원센터(IJSIP) 2014 International Journal of Signal Processing, Image Vol.7 No.6

Biometrics has been one the main security solutions in almost every type of infrastructure (whether critical or non-critical) ranging from the main doors at home, libraries to the critical infrastructures like banks and airports. Despite the forceful impetus on research on biometric security that has taken biometrics from one simple level to much higher levels of security, there are still some open challenges in this field of security that need to be filled. Among all those challenges and loopholes, the security of template is of the most important concern. The reason for this is that we don’t want any identity compromises. If a biometric template in the database of the system of a person is compromised that consequently would mean identity theft of that person. This paper proposes a novel method that uses two different biometric data from the same person for making a biometric template against each person. The two biometric modalities that have been used in our work are left and right iris using best features. The features and verification of the proposed system has been done using MATLAB.

An Empirical Investigation of the Factors Influencing the Brand Extension of Lifebuoy

Shoaib Imtiaz,Jafar Ali,Changsu Kim,Hyun-Sook Ahn 한국디지털융합학회 2016 IJICTDC Vol.1 No.2

This paper investigates the factors affecting the brand extension of lifebuoy i.e. Brand equity, Brand loyalty, Brand image, customer innovativeness, Similarity fit, Brand association and Consumer behaviour. Quantitative approach was utilized in this paper. Data was collected from 150 students enrolled in graduate and post-graduate level programmes in Department of Management Sciences, The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, through convenience sampling approach with the help of structured verified questionnaire. A series of statistical techniques i.e. Cronbach’s alpha, Multicollinearity, Correlation and Regression analysis were applied with the help of software SPSS. The results depicts that extensions into same categories to the original brand tends to be readily accepted. Brand equity and Brand loyalty increases after successful brand extension and are highly positive correlated with brand extension. It also showed the relationship between the brand image and brand extension. Customer innovativeness and consumer behaviour speeds up after successful brand extension. Results showed that Similarity fit have positive effect on brand extension, and also brand extension increases with brand association. Important guiding principle for future research would be to include large pool of respondents for in-depth analysis to understand the effect of culture also. It is suggested that companies should launch extensions with high similarity fit. Moreover, greater effort is required to extend low equity brands. Finally, companies need to know what the perception of consumers about their brands is, and how they evaluate it. It is noted that feedback effects of the same brand extensions can vary due to cultural differences between consumers.
