Retoriskie līdzekļi IKEA satura mārketinga tekstos
2018
Mūsdienu patērētāji dod priekšroku zīmoliem, kuru vērtību sistēma ir tāda pat kā šo patērētāju. Viņi atzīst par labāku individualizētu pieeju sev, izklaidējošu saturu, kurā dalīties ar saviem kontaktiem, daudz vizuālās informācijas un emocionālus stāstus. Tāpēc bakalaura darba mērķis bija izpētīt, cik plaši IKEA izmanto retoriskos līdzekļus satura mārketinga tekstos IKEA tīmekļa lapā Apvienotajā Karalistē, lai izraisītu pozitīvu klientu atbildes reakciju. Tā kā IKEA tiek uzskatīts par satura mārketinga gigantu no IKEA Apvienotās Karalistes mājaslapas tika izvēlēti 20 raksti, kuri tika analizēti. Pētījuma rezultāti parādīja to, ka retoriskie līdzekļi tika izmantoti 83 reizes. Visizplatītākās…
Neighbor discovery and resource allocation for device-to-device communication
2014
Masteroppgave i Informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi IKT590 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Device-to-Device (D2D) communication has attracted lots of attention as one of the most advanced wirelesscommunication technologies which allows access to services offered by nearby devices bypassing the BaseStation (BS). The potential advantages of this direct communication paradigm include high data rate, networkoffloading and range extension, as well as commercial proximity services and social networking. From the UserEquipments (UEs) and BS perspective, additional protocol overhead and discovery resource are required forD2D links. In such a context, neighbor discovery and resource allocation appro…
Loyalty Formation for Different Customer Journey Segments
2019
The proliferation of new touchpoints empowers today's customers to design their own journey from search to purchase. To address this new complexity, we segment customers by their use of specific touchpoints in the customer journey, investigate the association of several covariates with segment membership, consider the rise of mobile devices as potential "game changers" of existing segments, and explore how the relationships among product satisfaction, journey satisfaction, customer inspiration, and customer loyalty differ across segments. Based on anticipated utility theory and using latent class analyses on large-scale data from two samples of 2,443 and 2,649 journeys, we identify five tim…
COMBINED USE OF INNOVATIVE PASSIVE CONTROL DEVICES AND CONVENTIONAL BASE ISOLATION STRATEGIES
2021
This manuscript contains the main part of my research performed in the last three years at the Department of Engineering, University of Palermo, at the Department of Basic Sciences in Engineering Sciences (Unit of Applied Mechanics), University of Innsbruck, Austria and at the company FIP Mec, Selvazzano Dentro, Padova. Within the research framework of Structural Control, this dissertation proposes novel passive control strategies to mitigate the dynamic response of base isolated structural systems. Among the several types of devices proposed in literature, Tuned Mass Dampers and Tuned Liquid Column Dampers are undoubtedly the most widely employed vibration control devices for coupling with…
A photoactivated molecular gate.
2012
Light-controlled gate: A novel capped silica nanoscopic mesoporous hybrid material for photo-driven cargo release applications has been designed and prepared. The capped system, which shows a zero release, contains a photo-cleavable bulky o-methoxybenzylamine derivative. Upon irradiation at 254¿nm, photo-degradation of the o-methoxybenzylamine framework and the subsequent delivery of a fluorescent cargo were observed
Glucose-triggered release using enzyme-gated mesoporous silica nanoparticles.
2013
[EN] A new gated nanodevice design able to control cargo delivery using glucose as a trigger and cyclodextrin-modified glucose oxidase as a capping agent is reported.
Enhanced Efficacy and Broadening of Antibacterial Action of Drugs via the Use of Capped Mesoporous Nanoparticles
2013
[EN] A novel nanodevice consisting of mesoporous nanoparticles loaded with vancomycin and capped with epsilon-poly-L-lysine (epsilon-PL) was prepared and its interaction with different Gram-negative bacteria studied. A remarkable improvement in the efficacy of the antimicrobial drug epsilon-PL and a broadening of the antimicrobial spectrum of vancomycin is demonstrated.
Polymer/metal hybrid multilayers modified Schottky devices
2013
Insulating, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and semiconducting, poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), nanometer thick polymers/Au nanoparticles based hybrid multilayers (HyMLs) were fabricated on p-Si single-crystal substrate. An iterative method, which involves, respectively, spin-coating (PMMA and P3HT deposition) and sputtering (Au nanoparticles deposition) techniques to prepare Au/HyMLs/p-Si Schottky device, was used. The barrier height and the ideality factor of the Au/HyMLs/p-Si Schottky devices were investigated by current-voltage measurements in the thickness range of 1-5 bilayers. It was observed that the barrier height of such hybrid layered systems can be tuned as a function of bilayers …
HDR image generation from LDR image with highlight removal
2015
The emergency of High Dynamic Range (HDR) display device impels the study of generating HDR image from Low Dynamic Range (LDR) image. Most existing generation methods apply complicated handing to highlight areas in image, which perplexes the algorithm and introduces the probability of generating artifacts. In this paper, we investigate a separated scheme: instead of sophisticated treatment to the highlight areas during expanding, the processing to the highlight areas is separated from the dynamic range expansion, which facilitates the framework and reduces the artifacts. The image quality metric shows that the separated scheme reveals more details with little artifacts compared to the algor…
Interaction affordances in traditional instruments and tablet computers: A study of children’s musical group creativity
2019
In order to promote children’s collaborative musical creativity in new digital environments, we need a better understanding not only of the sound production capabilities provided by the new digital tools, but also of the interaction affordances involved. This study focuses on the interactional patterns emerging in children’s musical creativity, comparing creative group processes on iPad tablet computers (with GarageBand software) to processes on traditional musical instruments. Both instrumentations were assigned to five groups of four 10–12-year-olds for creating sound landscapes for a “space” movie. The traditional instrument groups’ processes were characterized by peer teaching as well …
