Sexting Behavior Among College Students: Implications for College Clinicians

The practice of sexting is becoming increasingly common among college students but has the potential to both initiate productive interactions with others and interfere with relationship development. The purpose of this paper is to report on the findings of a study on sexting among college students and to provide a framework through which practitioners working with this population would be able to effectively intervene. Implications for clinical practice include more specific assessment questions for practitioners, focus on better managing riskier behavior, and guidance toward using technology in relationally responsible and supportive ways.     

Pole sensitivity in coupling networks

When designing lossless networks, one is faced with the problem of choosing a zero configuration for the reflection coefficient ?(s). Bode showed that if parasitic capacitances are present as well as for power transfer optimization, the best zero configuration is to locate all of them in the left half-plane. Recently, Bode's result was generalized to include parasitic immitances at both ends (source and load) of the quadripole.This work adds a new result to the theory by looking at the overall transfer function poles. It is shown that (a) if the source resistance varies, one should select left half-plane zeros for ?(s); and (b) if the load impedance varies, one should select right half-plane zeros.The pole sensitivity criterion used is the distance between the actual transfer function poles and the poles of the ideal transfer function.
