    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

    IC-integrated flexible shear-stress sensor skin

    Get PDF
    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

    Full text link
    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
