This study explored social media use among 50 adolescents attending a public high school in a non-Western community. Adolescents participated in focus group interviews and completed a written self-report survey. Findings revealed that these teenagers use electronic communication forms such as phone texting and social networking sites to connect with friends and family. They show a preference for Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, do not engage in risky Internet behavior, and acknowledge both positive and negative aspects of electronic communication forms. In addition, their selection of electronic communication forms is dependent upon several factors that include the strength of the relationship and type of discourse exchange. For example, they reserve phone texting and cell use, which are more private communication mediums for family and friends. Electronic communication did not replace face-to-face interactions; rather it complemented and extended those interactions. Findings support existing literature on adolescent social media use and those shared with other collectivist cultural groups.

Comprehensive calculations of the Rh decoration effect on zigzag CNTs with n ranging from 7 to 12 were conducted in this work to understand the effect of Rh doping on geometric structures and electronic behaviors upon metallic and semiconducting CNTs. The obtained results indicated that Rh dopant not only contributes to the deformation of C-C bonds on the sidewall of CNTs, but also transforms the electron distribution of related complexes, thereby leading to a remarkable increase of the conductivity of pure CNTs given the emerged novel state within the energy gap for metallic CNTs and the narrowed energy gap for semiconducting CNTs. Our calculations will be meaningful for exploiting novel CNT-based materials with better sensitivity to electrons and higher electrical conductivity compared with pure CNTs.

In this study, we measured the partial discharge phenomenon of inside the closed switchgear, using ultra wide band antenna. The characteristics of $\Phi-q-n$ in the normal state are stable, and confirmed at less than 0.01, but in proceeding states, about 2 times larger. And in the abnormal state, it grew hundreds of times larger compared with normal state. According to K-means analysis, if slant of discharge characteristics is a straight line close to "0" and standard deviation is small, it is in a normal state. However if we can find a peak from K-means clusters and standard deviation to be large, it is in an abnormal state.

This paper describes the synthesis of robust and non-fragile $H^{i~}$state feedback controllers for linear varying systems with time delay and affine parameter uncertainties, as well as static state feedback controller with structural uncertainty. The sufficient condition of controller existence, the design method of robust and non-fragile $H^{i~}$static state feedback controller, and the region of controllers satisfying non-fragility are presented. Also, using some change of variables and Schur complements, the obtained conditions can be rewritten as parameterized Linear Matrix Inequalities (PLMIs), that is, LMIs whose coefficients are functions of a parameter confined to a compact set. We show that the resulting controller guarantees the asymptotic stability and disturbance attenuation of the closed loop system in spite of time delay and controller gain variations within a resulted polytopic region.

This paper describes the analysis of the device characteristics of the NPT type 1200V Insulated gate Bipolar Transistor. In case of NPT type IGBT devices, optimized n-epi layer thickness and concentration is important to obtain low on-state voltage and breakdown voltage characteristics. In this paper, we analyzed on-state and off-state characteristics of NPT type IGBT. Breakdown voltage of designed IGBT was higher than 1200V when we optimized Field Limiting Ring structures. And also, on-state voltage characteristics was shown less then 2.5V at 25A of drain current.

The high frequency and quasi-state C-V curves were measured to determine the interface state density in MNOS devices. Berglund method was appropriate for determination of energy distribution of interface state density all over the energy gap. Applying Vg vs Øs relation by Berlund method to comparison-analysis method of the high-frequency and quasi-static C-V curves, we were able to determine the energy distribution by only measured C-V curves without theoretical C-V curves. The interface state density near the conduction band was high at lower temperature than room temperature.

This paper presents a method for detecting faults in data obtained from the Automatic Identification System (AIS) of surface vessels. The data include latitude, longitude, Speed Over Ground (SOG), and Course Over Ground (COG). We derive two methods that utilize two models: a constant state model and a derivative augmented model. The constant state model incorporates noise variables to account for state changes, while the derivative augmented model employs explicit variables such as first or second derivatives, to model dynamic changes in state. Generally, the derivative augmented model detects faults more promptly than the constant state model, although it is vulnerable to potentially overlooking faults. The effectiveness of this method is validated using AIS data collected at a harbor. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach can automatically detect faults in AIS data, thus offering partial assistance for enhancing navigation safety.

In this paper, we introduce a hyper-chaos secure communication method using Hyper-chaos consist of State-Controlled Cellular Neural Network (SC-CNN). A hyper-chaos circuit is created by applying identical n-double scroll with weak coupled method to each cell. Hyper-chaos synchronization was achieved using embedding synchronization between the transmitter and receiver about in SC CNN. And then, we accomplish secure communication by synthesizing the desired information with a hyper-chaos circuit by embedding the information signal to the only one state variable instead of all state variables in the driven-synchronization method. After transmitting the synthesized signal to the identical channel, we confirm secure communication by separating the information signal and the hyper-chaos signal in the receiver.
