However, the fixed temperature decay function cannot perceive the current convergence condition and cannot dynamically adjust the local search depth according to the convergence condition.
The dynamic temperature decay coefficient is introduced to enable the algorithm to perceive the local convergence according to the current fitness of the individual particles and the average fitness of the population.
The study concludes that factors such as love for the brand, technological convergence, social positioning, perceived risk, and attraction to the design of the equipment influence the process of use and consumption with respect to the technological devices studied.
A similar bubble-led growth process could be found inside the eurozone, starting with the downward convergence of both perceived risks and interest rates toward levels in Germany and France throughout the zone after the introduction of the new common currency.
Guided communication was a mechanism for perceived learning gains and perceived knowledge convergence.
Finally, the results show that visual attractiveness of the interface design enhances the evaluation of the key constructs of our model, such as compatibility judgment, perceived enjoyment, and adoption intention of convergence technology.
The results of our study indicate that the compatibility with past experiences with existing and comparable technologies is indeed a critical factor affecting perceived ease-of-use, usefulness, and enjoyment of convergence technology.
We present our findings across countries and job roles, highlighting areas of convergence and divergence around six themes: perceived HIV prevention landscape, PrEP awareness, perceived benefits of PrEP, perceived challenges of PrEP, programmatic considerations and early versus late implementation.
It is noteworthy, however, that medical staff clearly perceive the value of convergence and collaboration.
