Abstract

Purpose

To make the single‐antenna attitude method more useful as a back‐up or fault diagnostic system than was targeted originally.

Design/methodology/approach

The enhancement incorporates information from the GPS satellite constellation and aircraft dynamic model. The visibility of GPS satellites affects the accuracy of the aircraft's volocity that is the main source of single‐antenna attitude. In addition, to use the aircraft dynamic model is natural because single‐antenna attitude is for exclusive use of aircraft. These are considered and implemented as a covariance matrix or process model of Kalman filters. The enhanced performances are verified by an aircraft nonlinear simulation.

Findings

The proposed method estimates more accurate volocity and unpiased single‐antenna attitude by using satellite constellation information and the aircraft dynamics. Moreover, the implemented system has a structure that combines other navigation sensors easily.

Research limitations/implications

It would be more desirable to perform further researches; sensor integration, stability against wind disturbance, and aircraft model uncertainty, etc.

Practical implications

A useful attitude sensor for a back‐up attitude system at low cost on manned aircraft or a main attitude system on unmanned aircraft that are sensitive to the mass or size of payload.

Originality/value

This paper has been the first to promote the potential of single‐antenna attitude and with only information that can be easily obtained.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of podcasting and webcasting, and to examine student preferences between the different delivery richness of communication media.

Design/methodology/approach

Background information regarding podcasting and webcasting is discussed. A conceptual model, based on media richness theory, is developed to explain student's perceptions. For the testing of the model, a survey metric is introduced, and a research methodology is explained. Finally, a conclusion and research limitations are discussed.

Findings

The conceptual model of the motivations to use podcasting was adopted from media richness theory. It was proposed that six factors are related to future media use; immediacy of feedback, personal focus, transmission of cues, functionality, usability, and ease of use. The methodology relied heavily on logistic regression analysis for testing the various hypotheses. The authors collected data for hypothesis testing. The results of the study were inconclusive. This may be due to the lack of user experience with podcasting.

Research limitations/implications

Some instructors have even adopted such techniques as their primary means (within the classroom or outside classroom) of communicating to students. However, the selection of appropriate communication media requires an understanding of the students' perceptions, preferences and receptiveness of these new technologies.

Practical implications

The findings from this exploratory research will be valuable for podcasting users.

Originality/value

This study is the first kind of empirical research in this area. With this study, the authors examined the perceived value of podcasting.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to examine the status of current mobile TV phone usage and discuss the issues for strategic implications for the communications and mobile TV industry.

Design/methodology/approach

Real tracking data, collected from server's logs during 2006 and 2007 from South Korean satellite DMB providers, were analyzed according to users' age group, peak viewing time of programs, location usage and program duration. Further analysis with the previous literature led to inferences about strategic implications.

Findings

The analysis revealed the current mobile TV usage patterns: widespread user age group, peak viewing time, high indoor usage and longer viewing time. These results shaped strategic implications, furthering and enhancing a personalized media experience.

Research limitations/implications

The data set, collected from the subscription‐based satellite DMB usage in South Korea, is well recognized as being a technological frontier. Further cultural comparison research work on mobile TV usage is required to validate the strategic implications for a wider cross cultural adoption.

Practical implications

This research benefits the strategic planning of the mobile communications and entertainment content industries in decision‐making regarding the improvement of hands‐on experience for mobile TV users.

Originality/value

The findings, based on the mobile TV real tracking data, collected in South Korea for over two years contrast to that of other countries, which only begin to experience the roll‐out of a full commercial service. Consequently, the data presented here highlights an important role in understanding and shaping of the mobile TV phone market for other parts of the world.

To investigate relationships between teamwork, trust and teacher team commitment.

8888

Abstract

Purpose

To investigate relationships between teamwork, trust and teacher team commitment.

Design/methodology/approach

Research has confirmed the value‐added effects of organizational commitment in terms of job performance, organizational effectiveness, and employee retention. This study focused on teacher teams as the unit of analysis, and posited associations between teamwork, viewed as team skills, trust and teacher team commitment. Data were derived from responses of elementary school teachers to an instrument including established measures of teamwork component skills, affective‐ and cognition‐based trust, and team commitment.

Findings

Teamwork was found to be a significant predictor of teacher team commitment. Respondents showing higher levels of teamwork skills perceived higher levels of team commitment. Results, while not entirely confirmatory, suggested the importance of trust in the commitment equation.

Research limitations/implications

This research was limited by the study sample of elementary schools. Future research should test initially confirmed associations in different school contexts with substantially dissimilar teacher demographics, and include consideration of dispositional antecedents that may impact teacher perceptions.

Practical implications

School leaders concerned with teacher commitment and related implications for teacher retention should consider strategies to strengthen performance‐enhancing teamwork and support satisfying teaming processes.

Originality/value

This study provides an initial understanding of teacher teamwork and affects on commitment in the context of teams viewed as building blocks of organization in locally‐managed schools.

Abstract

Purpose

The generation of individually fit basic garment pattern is one of the most important steps in the garment‐manufacturing process. This paper seeks to present a new methodology to generate basic patterns of various sizes and styles using three‐dimensional geometric modeling method.

Design/methodology/approach

The geometry of a garment is divided into fit zone and fashion zone. The geometry of fit zone is prepared from 3D body scan data and can be resized parametrically. The fashion zone is modeled using various parameters characterizing the aesthetic appearance of garments. Finally, the 3D garment model is projected into corresponding flat panels considering the physical properties of the base material as well as the producibility of the garment.

Findings

The main findings were geometric modeling and flat pattern generation method for various garments.

Originality/value

Parametrically deformable garment models enable the design of garments with various size and silhouette so that designers can obtain flat patterns of complex garments before actually making them. Also the number and direction of darts can be determined automatically considering the physical property of fabric.
