    企業のマーケティング活動において, 広告は商品の販売促進手段として利用されている。その中で, 有名なタレントを起用し, 彼らの人気によって消費者の購買活動を引き起こすものが多用されている。それに対して, 「ナンセンス広告」は情報提供の側面では不十分なため, 比較的に無視されてきた。しかし, 長期的に商品や企業に対する意味形成において, この2つの表現形態の働きはちょうど正反対となっている。本稿では, この2つの広告表現形態を比較し, 企業間競争と消費者の心理的抵抗といった側面から, 広告制作における課題の検討を試みた。When using advertising to make a sales promotion, using famous faces is the most convenient way to get the purpose. On the contrary, nonsense or humorous expressions in advertisements sometimes make no sense. Surely, famous faces can make the sales increasing quickly. But in the long run, especially, to build the brand image, it may not work well. In this paper, I compared these 2 types of advertisement to make a further consideration about how to make an effective advertising strategy

    Speech Dereverberation Based on Integrated Deep and Ensemble Learning Algorithm

    Reverberation, which is generally caused by sound reflections from walls, ceilings, and floors, can result in severe performance degradation of acoustic applications. Due to a complicated combination of attenuation and time-delay effects, the reverberation property is difficult to characterize, and it remains a challenging task to effectively retrieve the anechoic speech signals from reverberation ones. In the present study, we proposed a novel integrated deep and ensemble learning algorithm (IDEA) for speech dereverberation. The IDEA consists of offline and online phases. In the offline phase, we train multiple dereverberation models, each aiming to precisely dereverb speech signals in a particular acoustic environment; then a unified fusion function is estimated that aims to integrate the information of multiple dereverberation models. In the online phase, an input utterance is first processed by each of the dereverberation models. The outputs of all models are integrated accordingly to generate the final anechoic signal. We evaluated the IDEA on designed acoustic environments, including both matched and mismatched conditions of the training and testing data. Experimental results confirm that the proposed IDEA outperforms single deep-neural-network-based dereverberation model with the same model architecture and training data

    A Novel Contact Resistance Model of Anisotropic Conductive Film for FPD Packaging

    In this research, a novel contact resistance model for the flat panel display (FPD) packaging based on the within layer parallel and between layers series resistance concepts was proposed. The FJ2530 anisotropic conductive films (ACF) by Sony Inc. containing the currently smallest 3micron conductive particles was used to conduct the experiments to verify the accuracy of the proposed model. Calculated resistance of the chip-on-glass (COG) packaging by the proposed model is 0.163\Omega. It is found that the gold bump with 0.162\Omega resistance play the major role of the overall resistance. Although the predicted resistance by the proposed model is only one third of the experimentally measured value, it has been three-fold improvement compared to the existing models.Comment: Submitted on behalf of TIMA Editions (http://irevues.inist.fr/tima-editions

    Scaling laws for non-Hermitian skin effect with long-range couplings

    Full text link
    Recent years have witnessed a surge of research on the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) in one-dimensional lattices with finite-range couplings. In this work, we show that the long-range couplings that decay as 1/lα1/l^{\alpha} at distance ll can fundamentally modify the behavior of NHSE and the scaling of quantum entanglement in the presence of nonreciprocity. At α=0\alpha=0, the nonlocality of couplings gives rise to the scale-free skin modes, whose localization length is proportional to the system size. Increasing the exponent α\alpha drives a complex-to-real spectral transition and a crossover from a scale-free to constant localization length. Furthermore, the scaling of nonequilibrium steady-state entanglement entropy exhibits a subextensive law due to the nonlocality and the complex spectrum, in contrast to an area law arising from NHSE. Our results provide a theoretical understanding on the interplay between long-range couplings and non-Hermiticity.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure

    6-Mercaptopurine attenuates tumor necrosis factor-α production in microglia through Nur77-mediated transrepression and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling-mediated translational regulation

    Physical interaction between Nur77 and p65. BV-2 cells were pretreated with 6-MP (50 μM) for 16 h followed by exposure to LPS (100 ng/ml) for 60 min. Nuclear extracts were harvested for immunoprecipitation (IP) experiments using anti-Nur77 and anti-p65 antibodies. Immunoblot (IB) analyses of the immunoprecipitates were performed using these antibodies. The immunoblots are representative of three independent experiments. (TIF 280 kb

    Cross-Layer Optimization for Efficient Delivery of Scalable Video over WiMAX

    Abstract. Video delivery application over wireless network has become increasingly important in recent years. For achieving more flexible video streams transmission, the scalable extension of the H.264/AVC standard has been developed, as well as which is combined with temporal, spatial and quality scalabilities to adapt efficiently the wireless bandwidth resource. In this paper, a cross-layer optimization for robust H.264 scalable video delivery over WiMAX network is proposed. In order to obtain a better delivery performance, the proposed method is used the hierarchical B-picture approach to classify video packets into different priorities. In the cross-layer optimization, the scalable video and packet classifier are proposed at the application layer, and the packet priority and queue allocation are used at the MAC layer. Finally, it is shown by NS2 simulations that the proposed method provides more stable wireless bandwidth and also achieves a better quality of the video streaming delivery
