Sexual self-disclosure is one of the most intimate forms of self-disclosure. Yet, there is surprisingly little research on this topic compared to the voluminous research that exists on self-disclosure (in general). This is particularly surprising since sexual self-disclosure has been found to be correlated with sexual and marital satisfaction (Byers & Demmons, 2010). Conversations about sex have also been found to be critical in preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, expressing sexual consent, and sexual desires and satisfaction (Faulkner & Lannutti, 2010). Nor have scholars investigated the impact of culture on people's willingness to engage in sexual self-disclosure. In this paper, we will review current theorizing as to the extent to which culture and gender might be expected to influence young people's willingness to sexually self-disclose, and suggest possible directions that future research might take.

This paper describes the machine vision system which has been developed for real-time measurement of industrially hrushed yarns. This system provides a means for determining the brushing effect and for continuously introducing appropriate corrective signals to the yarn brushing machine. The system measures the brushed yarn during production, enabling the acquired data to be analysed and a fast response to be made, tbus ensuring uniformity of quality. The four steps in the inspection of a brusbed yarn involved (i) image acquisition; (ii) image enhancement; (iii) feature extraction; and (iv) image analysis and interpretation are reported.
