Nanotechnology: Applications of Carbon Nanotubes in Electrical Engineering | Author : Matthew N. O. Sadiku1 , Yogita P. Akhare2 | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Nanotechnology is a rapidly advancing technology which has the potential to revolutionize the
world by providing a variety of products and services at an ultra-small scale. The main objective of this paper is
to find out the most important applications of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in electrical engineering. It addresses
the uniqueness of nanotubes that makes them better than their competitors for specific applications. It also
discusses the types, electrical properties and several examples of the already existing commercial uses of
nanotubes and then point out feasible nanotube applications in electrical engineering. This paper distinguishes
between the various kinds of nanotubes in play today, ranging from multiwall nanotubes having different
degrees of perfection to the near-perfect molecular single-wall nanotubes. The last decade of research in this
field points to several possible applications for these materials; electronic devices and interconnects, field
emission devices, electrochemical devices, such as supercapacitors and batteries, nanoscale sensors,
electromechanical actuators.

| Proposal of elements of analysis to know the level of energetic management | Author : Modesto Raygoza Bello1 , Martín Baranda Pacheco1 , Erick Acosta Flores1 , Eduardo Roldan Reyes | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract : Proposals to combat climate change have many organizations, such as the Energy and Climate
Partnership of the Americas (ECPA), which has established multiple initiatives, programs and actions as part of
a clear strategy in relation to the management of climate change. energy (GE) in companies. The importance of
working in the development of the EG is that through it opportunities are detected in aspects related to the
improvement of production processes, the quality and safety of the energy system, allowing this, that users enter
the system, identify levels of consumption and raise awareness to implement improvements that result in high
levels of energy efficiency. The objective of this work was to offer a proposal that companies can take to carry out
improvement actions, especially those that are beginning in the introduction of the EG, establishing elements to
develop the EG in the organizations and above all as a guide of support to contribute with the discovery of the
level of energy management that we have, as a base that helps companies in their task of making rational and
efficient use of their energy |
| Interdependency and the exploitation of synergistic growth opportunity through the appropriate deployment of a management information system | Author : Joel Bigley | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Interdependencies between business units are strengthened as synergies are recognized and
exploited within a multinational enterprise (MNE). Strategically, a system that is appropriately designed,
implemented and updated at a suitable cadence is critical for the realization of growth. Global systems, when
appropriately deployed and utilized enhances organizational performance and efficacy in the eyes of their clients.
In this paper, the author uncovers through a phenomenological case study how a system was influential in helping
interdependent business units realize synergistic growth. Economies of scale can exploit synergistic attributes
found in MNEs to reduce costs. This is accomplished when a system is appropriately designed, transparent and
available. The author presents findings from this case and ultimately extracts eleven propositions to guide overall
system efficacy. Absent these considerations, risk of revenue loss is enhanced significantly |
| Does Language Matter? Purchase Intention of Indonesian Students toward Online Shopping in Taiwan | Author : Fachri Yafelli1 , Dwiyento Aryo Pangestu2 | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The development of technology and information has a significant impact on the development of
e-commerce. With all of given features providing perceived usefulness and ease to use, online shopping is in the
first place of e-commerce chain. However, not all online shopping website provides language change feature
which is very helpful for the foreigners in Taiwan. Hence, the objective of this study is to examine whether
language matter on affecting the purchase intention of Indonesian student in Taiwan. Technology Acceptance
Model (TAM) was chosen as the main conceptual framework of this study, focusing on perceived usefulness and
ease to use. The data of this study was gained from Indonesian students in Taiwan through questionnaires.
Collected data were analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression Model to examine the model fits and hypothesis
testing. The results of the research contribute in providing a guideline for Taiwan online shop website
companies to attract more International students in Taiwan as customers, especially Indonesian students.
