Overview: Synthesizes independently developed theories of privacy and self-disclosure into one comprehensive theoretical rationale.Provides an abstract framework that allows the antecedents of self-disclosure tUsing both a theoretical argumentation and an empirical investigation, this book rationalizes the view that in order to understand people’s privacy perceptions and behaviors, a situational perspective needs to be adopted..To this end, the book is divided into three parts. Part I advances the theory of situational privacy and self-disclosure by discussing impacts of new information and co

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Università “Sapienza”, Roma, Italy.An exhaustive introductive chapter makes the topics accessible also to non-experts.Makes a valuable contribution to iRecent experimental evidence about the possibility of "absolute negative temperature" states in physical systems has triggered a stimulating debate about the consistency of such a concept from the point of view of Statistical Mechanics. It is not clear whether the usual results of this field can be safely extended to negative-temperature states; some authors even propose fundamental modi

Traditionally thesefields have developed separately because the problems they examinedwere regarded as very different, and the techniques used appearunrelated. Recently, though, there is growing consent among theresearch community that the two fields are quite closely related.Indeed, in both fields the objective is to reconstruct the bestpossible signal from limited information. .The field of signal recovery, which i
