Conventional techniques for marketing technology products fail primarily because marketers do not truly understand their customers. Do you know what customers really think about your technology? Now, drawing on their award-winning research and case studies ranging from America Online to the Discovery Channel, marketing experts A. Parasuraman and Charles L. Colby demonstrate how the adoption of technology is influenced by unique beliefs that do not apply to conventional products and services. In the context of a general set of powerful techno-marketing strategies, Parasuraman and Colby introduce "Technology Readiness" (TR), a groundbreaking concept that enables you to measure and assess a customer's predisposition to adopt new technologies. Employing their TR construct - a psychological amalgam of fears, hopes, desires, and frustrations about technology - the authors identify five types of technology customers: the highly optimistic and innovative "Explorers," the innovative yet cautious "Pioneers," the uncertain "Skeptics" who need the benefits of technology proved, the insecure "Paranoids," and the resistant "Laggards." Using this typology, you can customize your technology strategies by combining insights from your context-specific assessments with general marketing strategies presented in the book. Essential reading in technology companies will be the chapter devoted to Parasuraman's Pyramid Model, which explains the critical role technology plays in a marketing organization as a link between employees, the organization, and the customer. Finally, the authors have included a self-administered quiz so you can score your own Technology Readiness and a chapter on the "Techno-Ready Marketing Audit" to provide a framework for taking immediate action based on the precepts in this book Знаете ли Вы, что потребители в действительности думают о Вашей технологии ? В своей книге известные маркетинговые специалисты А.Parasuraman и С.Colby демонстрируют как уникальные убеждения/мнения, которые не применимы для обычных товаров и услуг, влияют на то, будет ли технология принята потребителями. Авторы вводят понятие «готовность технологии» - концепцию, которая позволяет оценивать и измерять склонность потребителей к принятию технологии. Используя эту концепцию, они выделяют пять типов потребителей, для каждого из которых должна быть разработана индивидуальная стратегия. В книгу включен перечень вопросов, который позволит менеджерам фирм высокотехнологичного сектора определить «готовность» их технологий.

Heat exchangers with unique specifications are administered in the food industry, which has expanded its sphere of influence even to the automotive industry due to this feature. It has been used for convenient maintenance and much easier cleaning. In this study, two different nanomaterials, such as Cu-based nanoparticles and an organic nanoparticle of Chloro-difluoromethane (R22), were used as nanofluids to enhance the efficiency of heat transfer in a turbulator. It is simulated by computational fluid dynamics software (Ansys-Fluent) to evaluate the Nusselt number versus Reynolds number for different variables. These variables are diameter ratio, torsion pitch ratio, and two different nanofluids through the shell tube heat exchanger. It is evident that for higher diameter ratios, the Nusselt number has been increased significantly in higher Reynolds numbers as the heat transfer has been increased in turbulators. For organic fluids (R22), the Nusselt number has been increased significantly in higher Reynolds numbers as the heat transfer has been increased in turbulators due to the proximity of heat transfer charges. At higher torsion pitch ratios, the Nusselt number has been increased significantly in the higher Reynolds number as the heat transfer has been increased in turbulators, especially in higher velocities and pipe turbulence torsions.

Multimedia offers lots of advantages in the field of education. With the ability to combine multiple media elements in a package, learning environment can be customized according to the learners to meet their individual learning requirements. Slow learners are individuals with limited cognitive abilities, whose thinking skills develop slower than the norm for their ages and have difficulties in learning. Researches have proven that these special individuals can gain advantages by incorporating multimedia into their learning. This paper is one part of research project of developing a multimedia courseware to facilitate slow learner's learning in their special education class. In this paper, the design and development part of the multimedia courseware for slow learners is discussed. The courseware is developed based on ADDIE methodology and used Macromedia Flash as the main platform, as well as Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop for interfaces and graphics design. The developed courseware will be based on the "Sukatan Pelajaran Pendidikan Khas Bermasalah Pembelajaran Sekolah Rendah & Menengah', which focus on functional academic skills based on the curriculum of Multimedia Component. Methodological development model and modules of the courseware are presented in this paper.

Data-driven predictive maintenance for the prediction of machine failure has been widely studied and performed to test machine failures. Predictive maintenance refers to the machine learning method, which utilizes data for identification of potential system malfunction and provides an alert when a system assessed to be prone to breakdown. The proposed work reveals a novel framework called Artificial Intelligence Monitoring 4.0 (AIM 4.0), which is capable of determining the current condition of equipment and provide a predicted mean time before failure occurs. AIM 4.0 utilizes three different ensemble machine learning methods, including Gradient Boost Machine (GBM), Light GBM, and XGBoost for prediction of machine failures. The machine learning methods stated are implemented to produce acceptable accuracy for the monitoring task as well as producing a prediction with a high confidence level.

Nowadays, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is one of the causes of infant mortality that have been taken seriously. This is due to the baby is having difficulty in breathing while in prone position sleeping. Moreover, this mostly occurs during the unsupervised period especially at night when both parents are sleeping. Moreover, accidentally suffocation strangulation in bed (ASSB) is another cause that needs to look into seriously. Therefore, an effective sudden infant death syndrome baby alert system must be developed to curb and shorten respond time to save the baby from drowning. This paper proposes a conceptual framework with two (2) stages that consist of monitoring the body orientation of the baby as well as the heart rate of the baby, send the immediate alert to parents. By having an effective real-time SIDS baby alert system, fast response can be carried out in order to save the baby and raise awareness about the dangers of SIDS towards Malaysians’ parents.
