Sperber and Wilson’s (1995) relevance theory is used as a general communication theoretical framework to describe different media technologies and explain the communication that takes place through them. Nine features are deduced that characterize media as more or less deviant from the prototypical communicative situation: faceto-face interaction. It is foreseen that the media of the future may...

We present computational and analytical results indicating that systems of driven entities with repulsive interactions tend to reach an optimal state associated with minimal interaction and minimal dissipation. Using concepts from non-equilibrium thermodynamics and game theoretical ideas, we generalize this finding to an even wider class of selforganizing systems which have the ability to reach...

The different kinds of boundary conditions for standard and fractional diffusion and advection diffusion equations are analyzed. Near the interface between two phases there arises a transition region which state differs from the state of contacting media owing to the different material particle interaction conditions. Particular emphasis has been placed on the conditions of nonperfect diffusive...

Purpose. This exploratory study aims to understand college students' use and perception of social media for health information by comparing college students in the USA and Korea. Method. This study surveyed 342 college students from two state-level universities in the USA and Korea (one from each country) using a convenience sample. Analysis. Independent sample t-tests were performed to observe...

There is a growing need for methods and tools to illuminate the social contexts of interaction environments created by the World Wide Web, Usenet newsgroups, email lists, and other network interaction media. We present here a framework for creating visualizations of the social connections created in and through network interaction media. Using graph-drawing methods, visualizations can be create...
