A New Development in Online Marketing: Introducing Digital Inbound Marketing

2015

This paper addresses the conceptualization, scale development and scale validation related to the study of consumer engagement in online settings. It first reviews this concept and draws attention to the multidimensionality of the construct, considering the underlying cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions of consumer engagement. Then, it presents the foundation of this concept in relationship marketing and adds support to this proposition. Further, it proposes the construction and psychometric assessment of a 37 scales that examine all three dimensions, based on an international sample of 110 respondents who engage with a brand on a social media network. Based on multiple and succ…

Exposure to cytotoxic concentrations of manganese and effects on development

2009

Manganese is one of the most abundant metals present in nature in trace amounts, which is accumulated and utilized by all forms of life. It plays a multitude of biological roles, but exposure of cells/organisms to high levels causes toxicity. In the marine environment, increasing concentrations of bio-available ions often result from anthropogenic activities, and, consequently, manganese represents a new emergent factor in environmental contamination. To study cyto-toxicity of manganese on development, we used an excellent model system as sea urchin embryos Paracentrotus lividus. In this work, we show results from two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) analysis that highlighted qualitati…

Discussion of “Three Simple Flumes for Flow Measurement in Open Channels” by Zohrab Samani

2018

In this paper the results on three simple flumes for flow measurements are discussed.

Simple flume with a central baffle

2016

Abstract In this paper the stage-discharge relationship of a flume with a central baffle is theoretically deduced using the Buckingham-Theorem of the dimensional analysis and the self-similarity theory. The new stage-discharge equation is calibrated by the measurements carried out by Peruginelli and Bonacci using a baffle having a given throat length and five different values of the contraction ratio. Finally, for a given throat length, a relationship linking the discharge with the upstream water depth, the contraction ratio and the contracted width is deduced.

New Stage–Discharge Relationship for Triangular Broad-Crested Weirs

2022

Simple hydraulic structures, such as weirs, allow measuring flow discharge by using the upstream flow depth and a stage–discharge relationship. In this relationship, a discharge coefficient is introduced to correct all the effects neglected in the derivation (viscosity, surface tension, velocity head in the approach channel, flow turbulence, non-uniform velocity profile, and streamline curvature due to weir contraction). In this paper, the dimensional analysis and the incomplete self-similarity theory are used to investigate the outflow process of triangular broad-crested weirs, characterized by different values of the ratio between crest height p and channel width B, and to theoretic…

Comment on "Measuring the flow resistance of submerged grass"

2004

In this short note, the experimental data of Wilson and Horritt (2002.Hydrological Processes16: 2589–2598), jointlywith the measurements by Kouwenet al. (1969.Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Division, ASCE95: 329–342)and by Raffaelliet al. (2002 InProceedings XXVIII Convegno di Idraulica e Costruzioni Idrauliche, Cosenza, Italy;223–230), arefirstly used to test Kouwen’s approach. All experimental data are then used to calibrate aflow resistanceequation that was theoretically deduced by dimensional analysis and self-similarity theory

Zagadnienia teologiczne sakramentu namaszczenia chorych

2016

Z bogatego zakresu problematyki teologicznej nowej liturgii obrzędów sakramentu namaszczenia chorych, zwłaszcza zawartej we wprowadzeniu teologiczno-pastoralnym, w czytaniach biblijnych i tekstach euchologijnych, autor szerzej omawia jedynie zagadnienia podstawowe. Należą do nich: wymiar chrystologiczny i paschalny sakramentu namaszczenia chorych; umacniająca rola Ducha Świętego w życiu chorego; wymiar eklezjalny tego sakramentu. W sposób skrótowy zasygnalizowano jeszcze takie zagadnienia teologiczno-pastoralne, jak: wymiar pokutny sakramentu namaszczenia; sens choroby w ujęciu teologicznym; potrzeba wprowadzenia nadzwyczajnego szafarza (np. diakona stałego); problem udzielania tego sakrame…

Emulation of Sun-Induced Fluorescence from Radiance Data Recorded by the HyPlant Airborne Imaging Spectrometer

2021

The retrieval of sun-induced fluorescence (SIF) from hyperspectral radiance data grew to maturity with research activities around the FLuorescence EXplorer satellite mission FLEX, yet full-spectrum estimation methods such as the spectral fitting method (SFM) are computationally expensive. To bypass this computational load, this work aims to approximate the SFM-based SIF retrieval by means of statistical learning, i.e., emulation. While emulators emerged as fast surrogate models of simulators, the accuracy-speedup trade-offs are still to be analyzed when the emulation concept is applied to experimental data. We evaluated the possibility of approximating the SFM-like SIF output directly based…
