✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Humans increasingly interact with information technology (IT) in order to attain both individual and organizational goals. As a result, studies applying motivational theories to the IT field gain importance in the research literature. Emerging from several different scholarly disciplines, motivational theories seek to explain why individuals do what they do (Reeve, 2005). This paper surveys applications of motivational theories to the IT field using citation analysis of each theory's seminal work. First, the authors identify three approaches that have been used by researchers applying motivational theories to the IT field. Second, the authors examine these applications using an IT lifecycle framework. Last, the authors propose possible directions for future research in this area.

Functional connectivity between two voxels or regions of voxels can be measured by the correlation between voxel measurements from either PET CBF or BOLD fMRI images in 3D. We propose to look at the entire 6D matrix of correlations between all voxels and search for 6D local maxima. The main result i

Binary representations of finite fields are defined as an injective mapping from a finite field to l-tuples with components in ͕0, 1͖ where 0 and 1 are elements of the field itself. This permits one to study the algebraic complexity of a particular binary representation, i.e., the minimum number of
