Calibration, the statistical consistency of forecast distributions and observations, is a central requirement for probabilistic predictions. Calibration of continuous forecasts has been widely discussed, and significance tests are commonly used to detect whether a prediction model is...

Using the technology of spectral selectivity to integrate different solar power generators in a hybrid system is a feasible way to improve the optical-electric efficiency. This paper presents an 82-layer broadband optical interference thin-film filter matching with crystalline silicon...

In this paper, we develop a simple algorithm to determine the required number of generating units of wind-turbine generator and photovoltaic array, and the associated storage capacity for stand-alone hybrid microgrid. The algorithm is based on the observation that the state of charge of battery...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to uncover how emotions change (or remain constant) throughout the course of the vacation experience. Although the importance of affective experiences has been recognized in the literature, the momentary effects of each stage of the vacation on the overall...

Purpose Based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2), the purpose of this study was to examine users’ continued usage intention of mobile event application (MEA) technology. Design/methodology/approach A self-administered online survey was used to collect the study...

Purpose This paper aims to examine factors affecting users’ intention to continue using mobile event applications (MEA). The impacts of perceived usefulness, social exchange and perceived enjoyableness on users’ intention to continue using MEA were tested. Further, the moderating role of...
