Differences between the east culture and the west culture
Nowadays no one is surprised to see foreigners in the streets of the city. But few people understand how to communicate with a representative of another country, came to a mutual understanding. The purpose of this study is to consider the main distinctions of culture of the East and West. Theoretical methods have been used to achieve this goal. The result of this research is more in-depth understanding of communication with representatives of the East and West cultures. В наши дни уже никто не удивляется, увидев на улицах своего города иностранцев. Но мало кто понимает, каким образом следует общаться с представителем другой страны, чтобы возникло взаимопонимание. Цель данного исследования заключается в том, чтобы изучить различия между западной и восточной культурами. Для достижения этой цели были использованы общетеоретические методы. Результатом данного исследования является более углубленное понимание особенностей общения с представителями западной и восточной культур
IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT AND FORMATION IN ONLINE DATING SYSTEMS
Online dating systems are used by millions of people every year to find a romantic partner, yet many of these users report feeling frustrated by the online dating process. This paper presents an interview study in-progress of online dating system use. Findings from 35 users of a popular online dating system in the United States indicate that, contrary to previous research, users typically do not want to deceive their communication partners in order to appear more attractive. Rather, they try to convey the positive attributes they already possess through private communication methods such as site-native e-mailing. Participants also indicate that primary frustrations with online dating stem from not knowing how other daters are interpreting them and why their conversations end abruptly. These findings suggest that some of the misrepresentation found in prior work may actually be unintentional misinterpretation. Together these findings call for additional feedback mechanisms in the design of online dating systems to inform users about their conveyed impressions
Discovering Boundaries for Mobile Awareness: An Analysis of Relevant Design Factors
Mobile awareness applications connect you with the activities of friends, colleagues, and communication partners. The development of awareness applications for mobile devices is a top priority for HCI researchers. In discovering boundaries for mobile awareness systems, it is important to consider how these devices will be used. Factors relevant to design include boundaries drawn by technical, functional, privacy and complexity issues. This paper presents a literature review and introduces a Mobile Awareness Conceptual Framework that defines relevant boundaries for mobile awareness applications. The Framework includes information awareness, people-centered awareness, and context awareness. The paper concludes with an application of the Framework to inform the design of mobile awareness systems
Quantum mutual information of an entangled state propagating through a fast-light medium
Although it is widely accepted that classical information cannot travel
faster than the speed of light in vacuum, the behavior of quantum correlations
and quantum information propagating through actively-pumped fast-light media
has not been studied in detail. To investigate this behavior, we send one half
of an entangled state of light through a gain-assisted fast-light medium and
detect the remaining quantum correlations. We show that the quantum
correlations can be advanced by a small fraction of the correlation time while
the entanglement is preserved even in the presence of noise added by
phase-insensitive gain. Additionally, although we observe an advance of the
peak of the quantum mutual information between the modes, we find that the
degradation of the mutual information due to the added noise appears to prevent
an advancement of the leading edge. In contrast, we show that both the leading
and trailing edges of the mutual information in a slow-light system can be
significantly delayed
