Social networking service (SNS) is a service that allows people to share information, manage relationships with others, and express themselves on the Internet. The number of SNS users have increased explosively with the growth of mobile devices such as smartphones. As the influence of SNS has grown extensively, potential threats to privacy have also become pervasive. The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the main factors that affect users' intentions to use security functions provided by their SNS. The main theories for this study include the rational choice theory and the theory of planned behavior. This study has identified the factors that affect intention to use security functions. In addition, security function awareness and information security awareness are found to be important antecedents for intention to use security functions. The results of this study implies that when SNS providers develop security policies, they should consider the ways to improve users information security awareness and security function awareness simultaneously.

This paper presents an improved group of energy functions reflecting generator damping effects for multi-machine power systems by using Center of Inertia (COI) formulation as an extension of the previous work. Since rotor angles at the Stable Equilibrium Point (SEP) of post-fault systems are generally calculated in COI, system transient energy can be found without assumption of infinite or slack bus, which is a crucial drawback of the absolute rotor angle frame approach. The developed energy functions have a structure preserving property with which it is very flexible to incorporate various models of power system components, especially various load and generator models. The proposed damping-reflected energy functions are applied to the Potential Energy Boundary Surface (PEBS) method, one of the direct methods. Numerical simulation of WSCC 9-bus shows that conservativeness of the PEBS method can be considerably reduced.

In this article, the linear quadratic (LQ) optimal guidance laws with arbitrary weighting functions are introduced. The optimal guidance problems in conjunction with the control effort weighed by arbitrary functions are formulated, and then the general solutions of these problems are determined. Based on these investigations, we can know a lot of previous optimal guidance laws belong to the proposed results. Additionally, the proposed results are compared with other results from the generalization standpoint. The potential importance on the proposed results is that a lot of useful new guidance laws providing their outstanding performance compared with existing works can be designed by choosing weighting functions properly. Accordingly, a new optimal guidance law is derived based on the proposed results as an illustrative example.

The analytical transfer matrix method suggests a new quantization condition for calculating bound state eigenenergies exactly. In the quantization condition, the phase shifts of bound state wave functions scattered at classical turning points are explicitly introduced. We calculate the phase shifts of eigenfunctions of the Morse potential with various boundary conditions in order to understand the physical meaning of phase shifts. The Morse potential is known to adequately describe the interaction energy between two atoms and, therefore, it is frequently used to determine the vibrational energy levels of diatomic molecules. The variation of Morse potential eigenenergies influenced upon by changing boundary conditions is also investigated.

Recent developments in equations of state for molecular fluids have demonstrated the feasibility of using the hard-sphere equation to describe the effects of repulsive forces in simple fluids. By including a suitable term for attractive forces, most conveniently a uniform background potential, the properties of bio-macromolecular interaction can be roughly calculated. However, the choice of the potential used in perturbed hard-sphere chain (PHSC) theory for describing the attractions between macromolecules is rather complicated. For hard-sphere chains, the prediction accuracy from each model strongly depends on the choice of potential function.

The purpose of this research was to develop evaluation index of regional development for producing potential values of rural regions besides agriculture on a commercial scale. Rural regions have potential values such as preserved nature and spatial advantages and so on. For regional development, potential values should be synthetically evaluated by objective and standard index for supporting decision. For evaluation of plural functions of rural regions, evaluation index of rural regions was developed based on rural amenity. Applicability of evaluation index was studied using GIS and natural break method.

A three dimensional magnetostatic probodm is analyzed using the boundary element method and the magnetic scalar potential are employed in order to reduce the size of system matrix. Although the total magnetic scalar potential gives very accurate solutions at inner and outer regions of magnetic materal, the method has limitation on application because the magnetic scalar potential due to applied magnetic field sources is hard to be obtained. The reduced magnetic scalar potential gives more or less inaccurate solutions inside the magnetic material but very accurate solutions outside. Hence it can be concluded that the reduced magnetic scalar potential is very useful when the magnetic fields of outside of magnetic fields of outside of magnetic material are interested. It is also shown, from the numerical example, that the linear shape function gives more efficient solutions than the constant shape functions.

This review will present a brief overview on the adipocytokines and chemokines in terms of their classifications and functions, and further discuss the most recent results of chemokine research into their regulation of adipocyte functions and/or adipocyte-related pathologies. The potential link between preadipocytes/adipocytes and macrophages will also be highlighted.

In this paper we establish the existence of the conditional Feynman integral of certain functions which are not in the Banach algebra S of functions on Wiener space which are a kind of stochastic Fourier transform of complex Borel measures on $L^2[a, b]$. This result is used to provide the fundamental solution for the Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger equation for the forced harmonic potential.

The electronic structures of silane and chlorosilanes are studied by the SCF calculations using effective core potentials (ECP's). The results obtained with ECP's are in good agreement with corresponding all electron calculations demonstrating the reliability of ECP employed. The importance of polarization functions for the second row atoms is also evident in this study. The SCF calculations of silane and chlorosilanes are useful in qualitative understanding of many chemical properties since many trends are correctly obtained with the polarization functions included in basis sets of reasonable size.
