Teenagers and new media technologies: Gratifications obtained as a factor for adoption by Theodora Dame Adjin-Tettey

“…It is contended in this study that an important construct to consider when studying teenagers’ use of new media technologies is gratifications obtained (GO). With the aid of the stratified sampling technique, 300 students of two senior high schools in the Greater Accra region of Ghana, representing 10% of the total population, were recruited to take part in a study to explore whether there would be substantial empirical evidence to support the stance that gratifications obtained could potentially account for teenagers’ adoption of new media technologies. …”

Application of CAD Technology in Extracting Line Feature of Industrial Part Image by Fei Li

“…In order to solve the problem that the properties of the acquired images in engineering are often poor and the features of the images are seriously lost, so that the image features cannot be effectively developed, an application method of CAD technology in the extraction of linear features of industrial parts images is proposed. Based on 3D computer-aided design (CAD) data, by solving the parameter transformation relationship between the CAD 3D Cartesian coordinate system and the image coordinate system, the target line feature is projected onto the image, and the initial value range of the image line feature is obtained. …”
