To improve competitiveness and recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, tourism businesses need to know how to take advantage of the power of mobile technology, especially mobile apps. Therefore, this study concentrates on identifying and explaining the dimensions that comprise mobile app usability in the tourism sector. For this purpose, the authors have used a qualitative method of an in-depth interviews technique. The results indicated that there are 7 dimensions of mobile tourism app usability, including App design; App utility; Interface graphic; Interface input; Interface output; Interface structure; and App dependability. The findings have provided tourism managers with useful knowledge to improve the usability of tourism apps to attract more users.","PeriodicalId":262140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science and Technology Issue on Information and Communications Technology","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122192186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the studies about steady state and dynamic behaviors of TPJBs are usually evaluated by means of thermohydrodynamic models assuming nominal dimensions for the bearing. However, machining errors could lead to actual bearing geometry and dimensions different from the nominal ones. In particular, for TPJB the asymmetry of the bearing geometry leads to unexpected behavior of the bearing. In this paper, effects of non-uniform clearance on TPJBs’ performances such as clearance profile, shaft locus, power loss, pad tilt angle, and pressure distribution are evaluated using an analytical model. The results show that effects of non-uniform clearance on static characteristics of TPJBs are considerable when evaluating the efficiency of the bearing in particular and system in general.","PeriodicalId":262140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science and Technology Issue on Information and Communications Technology","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124578368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important application of chaos in communication is that it can be used for secure communication. To be able to use the chaotic signal in communication, we need to synchronize the chaotic signal between the receiver and the transmitter. In this paper, a sliding mode controller is proposed for global synchronization between two chaotic systems. The interesting point of this controller is that it can help reduce the synchronization time based on the selection of the appropriate gain parameter. This method has also been applied to a secure communication system with chaos masking. Finally, numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":262140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science and Technology Issue on Information and Communications Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131238043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
