An Effort Estimation Method for Service-Oriented Architecture
(JOURNAL OF Engineering Science and Technology Review, 2020-10-16)Determining size and effort of SOA systems is critical for managing SOA projects. As a consequence, a number of methods have been proposed to estimate effort of building SOA projects but the problem of estimating SOA ... -
The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and its Application to the Utilization of Mobile Learning Technologies
(SCIENCEDOMAIN international, 2017)Researchers have argued that inclusion of technologies in the teaching-learning places must be preceded by the user accepting the technology. Without this effort, the technologies remain abandoned or heavily ... -
Preharvest Treatment of Agaricus Bisporus with Methyl Jasmonate Inhibits Postharvest Deterioration
(Elsevier, 2019)Abstract Rapid deterioration is a serious problem in postharvest storage of Agaricus bisporus (A. bisporus). Hence, measures to improve shelf-life of the mushroom are of great importance. This study analyzed the effect ... -
Changes in non-volatile taste components of button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) during different stages of freeze drying and freeze drying combined with microwave vacuum drying
(Elsevier, 2014)Button mushroom slices were dehydrated using freeze drying (FD) or FD combined with microwave vacuum drying (FMVD), and the non-volatile component profiles were studied. The results showed that the level of non-volatile ... -
