Reconceptualizing eWOM communication: an interactive perspective
No full textThis chapter reconceptualizes eWOM communication through the theoretical lens of interactive marketing. Focusing on the interactivity of eWOM, this chapter develops a new typology of eWOM media based on their functionality, information types, and interactivity. Beyond the customer-to-customer communication in eWOM, this chapters take a managerial perspective to categorize and evaluate proactive and reactive eWOM strategies. This chapter develops a future research agenda that has implications for potential research and the practices of interactive eWOM

Thermogravimetric analysis-mass spectrometry (TG-MS) of selected Chinese palygorskites - Implications for structural water
No full textThermogravimetric analysis of selected coal-bearing strata kaolinite
No full textTwo kinds of coal-bearing kaolinite from China were analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis-mass spectrometry (TG-MS), infrared emission spectroscopy. Thermal decomposition occurs in a series of steps attributed to (a) desorption of water at 68 °C for Datong coal bearing strata kaolinite and 56 °C for Xiaoxian with mass losses of 0.36 % and 0.51 % (b) decarbonization at 456 °C for Datong coal bearing strata kaolinite and 431 °C for Xiaoxian kaolinite, (c) dehydroxylation takes place in two steps at 589 and 633 °C for Datong coal bearing strata kaolinite and at 507 °C and 579 °C for Xiaoxian kaolinite. This mineral were further characterised by infrared emission spectroscopy (IES). Well defined hydroxyl stretching bands at around 3695, 3679, 3652 and 3625 cm-1 are observed. At 650 °C all intensity in these bands is lost in harmony with the thermal analysis results. Characteristic functional groups from coal are observed at 1918, 1724 and 1459 cm-1. The intensity of these bands decrease by thermal treatment and is lost by 700 °C

An infrared spectroscopic comparison of four Chinese palygorskites
No full textInfrared spectroscopy has been used to characterize and compare four palygorskite mineral samples from China. The position of the main bands identified by infrared spectra is similar, but there are some differences in intensity, which are significant. In addition, several additional bands are observed in the spectra of palygorskite and their impurities. This variability is attributed to differences in the geological environment, such as the degree of weathering and the extent of transportation of the minerals during formation or deposition, and the impurity content in these palygorskites. The bands of water and hydroxyl groups in these spectra of palygorskite samples have been studied. The characteristic band of palygorskite is observed at 1195 cm�1. Another four bands observed at 3480, 3380, 3266 and 3190 cm�1 are attributed to the water molecules in the palygorskite structure. These results suggest that the infrared spectra of palygorskites mineral from different regions are decided not only by the main physicochemical properties of palygorskite, but also by the amount and kind of impurities

Thermal decomposition behavior and de-intercalation kinetics of kaolinite/quaternary ammonium salt complexes
No full textDeconstructing the atmosphere
No full textThe study aims to develop a methodology for showcasing the atmosphere of urban public spaces through the medium of moving images. By creating a short film with parallel fictional stories about a character and the city spaces, the emotional journeys and atmospheric value of these spaces will be visualized. Through this approach, the audience can experience the similar emotions as if they were present in those spaces.
The research questions focus on identifying the elements that construct the atmosphere in public spaces, exploring how to effectively combine the atmosphere in the urban spaces and in the film, and investigating the future applications of this study. The research process involves a reference-based approach and a case-study-oriented approach. The final deliverable will consist of both theoretical research and the short films. Overall, the study aims to deconstruct the atmosphere of urban open space and create a vivid city image through the power of moving images. "city image" refers to the impression or perception that people have of a city, which is conveyed through its physical and emotional atmosphere in public spaces.Media files notes:
