Experimental and theoretical analysis of refrigerant absorption in lubricant oil
INTRODUCTION In small-capacity refrigeration systems, cooling capacity is controlled by a succession of ON/OFF compressor cycles whose frequency depends on thermal load and cold ambient temperature requirements. During each one of such cycles, immediately after the compressor turns off, a process of vapor refrigerant absorption in the oil inside...

Global consumer values on the Internet & the relationship of diffusion characteristics, lifestyle & trustworthiness to P2P file-sharing behavior
ABSTRACT A study was conducted to generate a greater understanding of the global phenomenon of consumers' unauthorized peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing of music on the Internet. Diffusion of Innovation Theory (Rogers 1983) was used to interpret global consumer perceptions of this widespread online behavior. The sample for this study included...

THE FASHIONABLE ADOPTION OF ONLINE LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES IN AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES
ABSTRACTDuring the 1990s, many Australian universities adopted innovative new online learning technologies without critical examination of their merit to those institutions, leading in some cases to wasted resources, unfulfilled expectations, program and organisational failure. Given that limited theoretical and empirical explanations have addressed this important research problem, this paper discusses...
