In today's world, science and technology are constantly making progress. Most tasks are now computerized and are carried out using modern technologies. Recently, online stores have soared in popularity, with new ones appearing every day. Such stores provide numerous advantages for merchants and offer better service compared to their physical counterparts. However, quality of service is not the only reason some individuals tend to choose one over the other; this decision may be influenced by a number of other factors. This paper examines the impact of personality, more specifically introversion/extraversion, on online shopping tendencies. The population of the study includes graduate students at the University of Isfahan. A random sample of 92 individuals was drawn. The results indicate that perceived value of online stores has an eighty percent impact on the intention of introverted and extroverted individuals to engage in online shopping. Therefore, in order to encourage individuals to make more online purchases and increase profitability, online store owners need to promote perceived value.

There are some systems that they contain some stable states separated by the energy barriers. The movement between those states is able to complicate their dynamics. One of the simple man-made systems which is able to show a complicated and chaotic behavior is the Forced Duffing Oscillator. In this paper, we introduce the differential equation which describes the Forced Duffing Oscillator, and also, we focus our attention on the chaotic mood. Finally, we apply the OGY method in order to control the chaotic behavior in the system. We regulate the system's unstable poles using a new approach which is based on the Generalized Routh-Hurwitz criterion in discrete dynamical systems point of view.

Nowadays technology is growing fast and always adds new dimensions to our daily lives. In this way, Internet banking systems allow users to manage financial affairs such as checking account balances and transferring money between accounts as fast and easy as it can be. This study is done in Iran and Malaysia, the basic structure in Malaysia causes more concern, as well as use of this new way of banking. Also the differences between traditional and internet banking are more obvious in Malaysia. Therefore, we separately investigated the users of Parsian Bank of Iran- Isfahan Province and CIMB Bank of Malaysia-Kuala Lumpur. For the purpose of validating or disproving the research hypotheses, SPSS software and one sample t-test, two sample t-test, one way ANOVA and correlation analysis was used. Due to the nature of internet banking that occurs in the web network, not face to face, expected security is very important. Therefore, the linkage between security and trust is being investigated and the results show a positive correlation between these two variables. Statistical results show that, age and the level of education affected the attitude toward internet banking. But there is no statistical significant difference of the attitude between genders.
