The Perceived Credibility of Brand Mention in Magazine Articles in Comparison to Advertorials and Traditional Paid Advertisements
This study explores the perceived credibility of brand mention in magazine editorials compared to advertorials and traditional paid advertisements. Surveys were administered to three groups of college students after viewing an editorial, an advertorial or a paid advertisement. Respondents were asked to identify their level of agreement regarding credibility, likeability and perceived selling intent of the content.
Results indicate that advertorials are perceived to be less credible than editorials and traditional paid advertisements. Traditional paid advertisements are perceived to be the most credible method of brand mention in magazines. It can also be determined as a result of this study that there is a slight difference in perceived credibility between males and females, most specifically in regards to the characteristics of attractiveness and likeability, objectiveness, and motivation for purchases

Best Practices of Honor Societies
Academic honor societies are widely available within
university communities. These student organizations can
fill valuable roles within engineering departments. The
inception of engineering-related honor societies followed
the establishment of engineering education within
American universities. Honor societies with their student
focus grew as complementary organizations to the
professional societies for engineering disciplines. The
national or international structure of honor societies
generally provides considerable resources for professional
education, leadership training, and service activity. For
departments, an honor society chapter can provide
engagement with students, alumni, community, etc.
However, the existence of an honor society chapter at an
institution does not necessarily mean that the chapter is
effectively serving the host department(s) and its
engineering students. This paper describes commonalities
among engineering honor societies, the possible roles of an
honor society within an engineering department, and some
best practices for effective honor society chapters. Specific
examples from the operation of IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu
(IEEE-HKN), the honor society of the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), are given.Cockrell School of Engineerin
IC-integrated flexible shear-stress sensor skin
This paper reports the successful development of the first IC-integrated flexible MEMS shear-stress sensor skin. The sensor skin is 1 cm wide, 2 cm long, and 70 /spl mu/m thick. It contains 16 shear-stress sensors, which are arranged in a 1-D array, with on-skin sensor bias, signal-conditioning, and multiplexing circuitry. We further demonstrated the application of the sensor skin by packaging it on a semicylindrical aluminum block and testing it in a subsonic wind tunnel. In our experiment, the sensor skin has successfully identified both the leading-edge flow separation and stagnation points with the on-skin circuitry. The integration of IC with MEMS sensor skin has significantly simplified implementation procedures and improved system reliability
Boundary Control of Coupled Reaction-Advection-Diffusion Systems with Spatially-Varying Coefficients
Recently, the problem of boundary stabilization for unstable linear
constant-coefficient coupled reaction-diffusion systems was solved by means of
the backstepping method. The extension of this result to systems with advection
terms and spatially-varying coefficients is challenging due to complex boundary
conditions that appear in the equations verified by the control kernels. In
this paper we address this issue by showing that these equations are
essentially equivalent to those verified by the control kernels for first-order
hyperbolic coupled systems, which were recently found to be well-posed. The
result therefore applies in this case, allowing us to prove H^1 stability for
the closed-loop system. It also shows an interesting connection between
backstepping kernels for coupled parabolic and hyperbolic problems.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Automatic Contro
