Analyses of Shanghai Disneyland IP localization Strategy And Its Risks from the Perspective of Lina Bell- Based on SWOT Analysis Method

‘Lina Bell’ is a new IP image that was exposed by Shanghai Disney in September 2021. From ‘new role’ to ‘online celebrity with a huge fan base’ in just one month, its popularity overwhelmed other famous Disney IPs, and the price of its doll has skyrocketed. However, in early December 2021, ‘Lina Bell’ was stuck in a ‘image crisis’, and there are still risks behind Disney's IP operation. This paper analyses Disney's IP localization strategy through a SWOT method and proposes possible countermeasures to address the potential risks. The study finds that the history of Disney's Duffy family is the epitome of Disney's IP localization strategy, and that Lina Bell is the best product of the IP localization strategy; Disney's strengths are its rich experience in IP operation and complete industry chain, while its weaknesses are mainly the lack of a true understanding of the target market’s culture; the external opportunities for Disney are the huge potential of the target market and the fact that Disney IP is in line with the pop culture trends of the target market, while the external threats are mainly public opinion and competition from similar products. This paper suggests that Disney should strengthen its research into the culture of its target markets and truly understand the local cultural habits; strengthen the training of its staff; standardize the behaviour of each staff member in line with the brand's mission and increase the local core competencies of the Disney IP.

How “cultural reshaping” affects rural tourism development in China - a case from zhejiang beautiful countryside demonstration area

A number of studies have been carried out on the importance and connotation of tourism culture. However, from the literature study of tourism culture, it is found that there is still a gap between the remolding of tourism culture and the development of tourism enterprises in the digital era. This study aims to identify the enterprise clustering effect and employment benefit of rural tourism culture reshaping. By empirical research, this study establishes a new conceptual research framework for rural tourism sustainability to cover the gap between the cultural reshaping and enterprise development for rural tourism in Zhejiang. We began with investigation to villagers on their acceptance of reshaped tourism culture. Through interviews with entrepreneurs, this study investigates the relationship between tourism cultural reshaping and tourism enterprise image. An enterprise network of regional tourism cultural IP image has been established to describe the density among the whole tourism cultural industry. The location entropy index is adopted to show the employment in tourism enterprises. This index reflects residents’ acceptance of the reshaped cultural image as a key influencing factor of enterprises’ sustainable development. Furthermore, it is found that tourism cultural reshaping is a significant base for rural tourism industry clustering. The research results suggest that tourism corporation can contribute to the local tourism economy by reshaping culture.

Application of VR Technology in Brand IP Image Design

Virtual reality (VR) refers to the computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image environment that can be interacted within a seemingly physical way by a person using special electronic equipment and making people interactive and immersive. VR technology is applied to communication activities, producing VR communication. VR technology is applied to news reports, giving birth to the emergence of VR news. The great significance of VR technology for news communication lies in the comprehensive intake and recording and transmission of news site materials so that news events can “reproduce” and “restore.” The most prominent feature of VR transmission is immersion. Immersivity is mainly reflected in the perceptual system and the behavioral system of the human body. The immersion of perception system includes visual immersion, auditory immersion, touch immersion, and other sensory immersion; behavioral system immersion includes the immersion of language system, direction system immersion, and expression system immersion. Immersive communication has experienced three development stages: interactive communication, invasive communication, infiltration, and audience experience. There are three hidden dangers in VR technology in the communication. One is the hidden danger of the technical operation level: the lack of security and stability of the production process may lead to the disappearance of the traditional reporter, the second is the ethical hidden danger: the degradation of “audience” to “mass,” and third is “body” weakening the authority of “addiction”: the emergence of “brain in the cylinder,” the emergence of snooping feast, and the formation of exposed carnival. There are three aspects to prevent VR hidden dangers, layout and top-level design, improve security, and communication efficiency, promote industrial application, enhance user stickiness, strengthen brand building, and create ace IP and quality content.

Applications of Electromagnetic Induction and Electrical Resistivity Tomography for Digital Monitoring and Assessment of the Soil: A Case Study of Al-Ahsa Oasis, Saudi Arabia

Al-Ahsa Oasis is one of the main and oldest agricultural centers in Saudi Arabia and one of the largest natural oases in the world. It is the largest irrigated agricultural oasis worldwide. The cultivated area is about 12,000 hectares in the region of Al-Ahsa. Groundwater was considered the main water source, if not the only source, for the different purposes of Al-Ahsa Oasis. However, due to groundwater depletion from these aquifers, treated wastewater is currently used to meet the shortage of irrigation water at Al-Ahsa Oasis. Today, several problems affect the agricultural productivity at Al-Ahsa Oasis, and modern geophysical techniques could contribute effectively to solving these problems; such problems are increasing soil salinity and the existence of a hardpan layer in some parts of the Al-Ahsa oasis. The soil texture is considered a critical factor to be taken into consideration. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of modern geophysical techniques to study the agricultural aspects of Al-Ahsa oasis. Ten profiles of 2-D electrical tomography using SuperSting R8/IP 8 channel multielectrode resistivity and IP imaging system with 112 electrodes at one-meter spacing were implemented. Moreover, twenty electrical conductivity profiles were measured of 2240 points using EM38-MK2 at vertical mode with transmitter–receiver coils of 0.5 and one meter spacing. The results indicated that the salinity variation along the measured profiles was changed vertically and laterally due to the changes in the soil type, texture, moisture content, sabkha, and the whole oasis. Analysis and interpretation of the interpreted resistively tomograms of the ten 2-D profiles indicate remarkably the different geoelectric units of different hydrogeological conditions and soil texture across the oasis. These results will be of good utility for farmers, development sectors, and research institutions, especially in agriculture development studies, at Al-Ahsa Oasis, to ensure the sustainability of agriculture in this important historical Oasis.

Determination of Non-Invasive Biomarkers for the Assessment of Fibrosis, Steatosis and Hepatic Iron Overload by MR Image Analysis. A Pilot Study

The reference diagnostic test of fibrosis, steatosis, and hepatic iron overload is liver biopsy, a clear invasive procedure. The main objective of this work was to propose HSA, or human serum albumin, as a biomarker for the assessment of fibrosis and to study non-invasive biomarkers for the assessment of steatosis and hepatic iron overload by means of an MR image acquisition protocol. It was performed on a set of eight subjects to determine fibrosis, steatosis, and hepatic iron overload with four different MRI sequences. We calibrated longitudinal relaxation times (T1 [ms]) with seven human serum albumin (HSA [%]) phantoms, and we studied the relationship between them as this protein is synthesized by the liver, and its concentration decreases in advanced fibrosis. Steatosis was calculated by means of the fat fraction (FF [%]) between fat and water liver signals in “fat-only images” (the subtraction of in-phase [IP] images and out-of-phase [OOP] images) and in “water-only images” (the addition of IP and OOP images). Liver iron concentration (LIC [µmol/g]) was obtained by the transverse relaxation time (T2* [ms]) using Gandon’s method with multiple echo times (TE) in T2-weighted IP and OOP images. The preliminary results showed that there is an inverse relationship (r = −0.9662) between the T1 relaxation times (ms) and HSA concentrations (%). Steatosis was determined with FF > 6.4% and when the liver signal was greater than the paravertebral muscles signal, and thus, the liver appeared hyperintense in fat-only images. Hepatic iron overload was detected with LIC > 36 µmol/g, and in these cases, the liver signal was smaller than the paravertebral muscles signal, and thus, the liver behaved as hypointense in IP images.

Impact assessment of a saline waste lagoon on groundwater pollution near a coastal aquifer in India—synthesis of geoelectrical and hydrochemical studies

The present study is an attempt to assess the impact of a saline waste lagoon on the near subsurface through electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). Resistivity and IP imaging data have been collected on profiles close to the lagoon and at a far off location (control location). Water samples have been collected from the lagoon and a municipality drinking well close to it and analysed for the water chemistry. The geoelectrical sections indicate very low resistivity formations in the near subsurface in the vicinity of the lagoon as compared to the control profile. The water chemistry data from the monitoring well close to the profile also indicates very high total dissolved solids (8658 mg/L) and qualitatively supports the contamination of the near subsurface. The conductive formations in the vicinity of the lagoon can be attributed to the overflow from the lagoon or the seepage.

An innovative calibration based integral photography rendering algorithm for medical application and its evaluation.

Autostereoscopic has long been proposed to fulfill medical display in image-guided surgery and clinical education to provide more intuitive position information of clinical interest zone thus improving surgery safety and accuracy. As one category of flexible autostereoscopic 3D display, computer generated integral photography (CGIP) has been studied in medical application by many researches for its convenience and cost-efficiency. However, IP still suffers from inaccurate light field reconstruction, which limits its practicality in surgery. In this paper, we propose and apply a flexible fish-eye model based micro lens array (MLA) distortion calibration method and pre-distorted retracing rendering algorithm to render elemental image array (EIA) of CGIP. Furthermore, we also evaluate light field of the proposed algorithm in depth cue, and signal noise ratio of IP images by phantom experiment.

Evaluation of DC, FDEM and IP resistivity methods for imaging perched saltwater and a shallow channel within coastal tidal flat sediments

Abstract Presently, electrical resistivity methods are applied in a wide variety of geological and environmental site investigations. Geologically, the coastal tidal flat sediments formed shallow channel-like features at the northern part of Germany. Three geoelectrical methods are applied to image the near surface sediments including a shallow conductive zone within the tidal deposits at the North Sea coast. These methods, direct current (DC) resistivity, frequency domain electromagnetic (FDEM) and spectral induced polarization (SIP), are evaluated to show which one can provide the required spatial resolution under study area conditions. This evaluation also includes a synthetic modeling to assess the DC resistivity imaging technique. The results constitute an encouraging example using these geophysical methods in characterizing the coastal aquifers. The inversion results show that the subsurface resistivity distribution of tidal sediments can change rapidly within a short distance. A thin high conductive layer is observed above the peat and clay layers reflecting a perched saltwater. The 2D IP section shows that the perched saltwater is restricted to patched forms above an impermeable layer of clay. According to the IP images the boundaries of the clay layer are recognized with a good resolution due to the high membrane polarization of the clays. The EM and DC profiles show a shallow channel-like feature within tidal deposits. In this paper, the best FDEM field parameters and the role of EM in lithologic studies are emphasized. Two main limitations can be observed from DC synthetic modeling: (a) A smearing in the lower boundary of the perched saltwater; (b) an amplification of the lateral effect of the highly conductive layer. These limitations decrease the resolution of DC imaging for accurate defining our targets. Because the IP response depends on microgeometry, fluid chemistry and saturation, the 2D IP results demonstrate the suitability of this method to characterize the tidal deposits in the coastal area with a good resolution. In this study, the success of SIP method supports further investigations into studying the hydraulic parameters of tidal deposits in this area. The obtained results during this investigation provide an overview of the coastal aquifer and they can serve as a basis for refining the conceptual model of morphological elements and sedimentary sequences of the coastal tidal flat.

Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptor-Mediated Calcium Release in Purkinje Cells: From Molecular Mechanism to Behavior

The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor is highly expressed in cerebellar Purkinje cells and mediates conspicuous calcium release from intracellular calcium stores. Receptor stimulation, such as through mGluR1, activates the G(q)-PLC pathway, which leads to IP(3)-induced calcium release and subsequent cellular responses, including cerebellar long-term depression in Purkinje cells. Recent studies have demonstrated the regulatory mechanisms of IP(3) receptor, revealing activation via IP(3) and Ca(2+), inactivation via high concentrations of Ca(2+), and modulation by various proteins that bind to the IP(3) receptor. Novel calcium imaging techniques and caged compounds provide analysis of calcium signals at the single spine level in relation to the induction of long-term depression. Genetically encoded indicators for calcium or IP(3) could provide alternate Ca(2+) or IP(3) imaging, in particular, for in vivo observations. IP(3)-induced calcium release participates in early development of dendritic branch formation, and loss-of-function mutations or hyper-activation could result various diseases. The IP(3) receptor plays a central role in calcium signaling in Purkinje cells, affecting a wide variety of cellular functions, including development, plasticity, maintenance of synaptic functions, and cerebellar motor control.

Ex-situ tritium removal from JET tiles using RF inductive heating

Radio-frequency (RF) inductive heating has been successfully used as an ex-situ technique for the detritiation of entire tiles retrieved from JET. The assessment of the detritiation process used three different techniques, namely autoradiography, calorimetry and full combustion assisted by the liquid scintillation analysis. Autoradiography showed that using the RF technique more than 99% of the total surface tritium inventory can be efficiently removed from a tile after several heating cycles at the average temperature of only 490 °C. On the other hand, a comparison of the combustion measurements obtained before and after RF heating has shown that the bulk tritium activity decreased significantly (95% of the bulk tritium was released), while at the same time more than 99% of the surface tritium was liberated. The three methods used to assess the RF detritiation process have their advantages and disadvantages. Calorimetry allows a rough estimation of the tritium content of the complete tile, whilst IP imaging allows an approximate estimation of the content before and after detritiation but only for the surface tritium. On the other hand, full combustion associated with scintillation analysis allows very accurate measurements but only for specific samples with reduced dimensions, therefore extrapolation is needed to estimate the tritium content of an entire tile.

Measuring techniques in induced polarisation imaging

Multi-electrode geoelectrical imaging has become very popular and is used for many different purposes. For some of these, the inclusion of IP data would be desirable as it would allow the interpreter to distinguish between, e.g. sand formations with saltwater infiltration and clay formations or help delineate landfills. However, present-day IP measuring techniques require the use of nonpolarisable potential electrodes and special wire layout and are thus cumbersome and expensive. In this paper, we suggest making IP measurements with multi-electrode cables and just one set of steel electrodes. The polarisation potentials on the potential electrodes are corrected for by subtracting the polarisation potential measured when no primary current and no IP signal are present. Test measurements indicate that the polarisation potentials vary slowly and that the correction procedure is feasible. At two sites in southern Sweden, we have compared measurements with only stainless steel electrodes and measurements with both stainless steel and Pb–PbCl nonpolarisable electrodes using one or two sets of multicore cables, respectively. Almost no difference between the two data sets was observed. At one site, the charge-up effect on the potential electrodes was not important, while at the other site, the correction procedure was crucial. Though only two sites have been studied so far, it seems that time-domain IP imaging measurements can be taken with only steel electrodes and ordinary multicore cables. Coupling in the multicore cables has not presented any problems at the investigated sites where grounding resistances were moderate, making the coupling effect small. High grounding resistance sites have not yet been investigated.

Clinical use of an imaging probe in breast cancer surgery.

Portable cameras allow easy transfer of the detector, and thus of radioisotope imaging, to the operating room. In this paper we describe our preliminary experience in radionuclide imaging of breast cancer with a 22.8 x 22.8 mm(2) field-of-view minicamera called "Imaging Probe" (IP). Breast cancer detection by IP was performed to guide biopsy, in particular open biopsy, or help fine-needle or core-needle positioning when the main guidance method was ultrasonography or digital radiography. 99mTc Sestamibi (MIBI) was injected 1 h before imaging and biopsy to 14 patients with suspected or known breast cancer. Scintigraphic images were acquired before and after biopsy in each patient. The surgeon was allowed to take into account scintigraphic images as well as previously performed mammograms and ultrasonography. High-resolution IP images were able to guide biopsy toward cancer or toward washout zones of cancer which are thought to be chemoresistant in seven patients out of 10. Four patients in whom IP and MIBI were unable to guide biopsy were found not to have cancer. Our study confirms the ability of IP to guide breast biopsy even when our minicamera has to be handled manually by trained physicians during surgery.

GEOPHYSICS: This issue of GeophysicsThis issue of Geophysics

Grech et al. use the first arrivals from a multi-offset VSP to determine the anisotropy parameters by traveltime inversion. The authors demonstrate the application of these parameters during anisotropic PSDM for enhanced depth imaging. Shen et al. introduce a technique to AVO and FVO attribute estimation in the frequency domain and demonstrate the application of these attributes to the detection of fracture orientation in a carbonate reservoir in the Maporal field of southwestern Venezuela. They also show that reservoir heterogeneity has an important effect on AVO signatures and should be considered in fractured reservoir characterization. Slater and Reeve propose that electrical geophysics methods are excellent tools for the investigation of the stratigraphy and hydrogeology of peatland systems and the related controls on vegetation communities observed at the surface. Whereas GPR and IP imaging are appropriate for determining peat and underlying lake sediment thickness, resistivity imaging is valuable for investigating the mineral basement, which exerts a strong control on peatland hydrogeology. Soroka et al. demonstrate how 3-D AVO can be an effective tool for identifying potential missed reserves in old producing fields. The advantages of 3-D over 2-D AVO are discussed. Valuable acquisition and processing lessons learned in this early onshore 3-D AVO project are presented for future reference. Berryman et al. present a new synthesis based on ideas of Gassman and Biot that uses compressional and shear wave velocities in a scheme that is much simpler to understand and apply, yet yields detailed information about porosity and fluid saturation magnitudes and spatial distribution. The density and the Lame elastic parameter λ are the two parameters determined from seismic velocities that also contain information about fluid saturation, and this observation leads to concepts for two types of λ -diagrams for evaluating partial and patchy saturation in reservoirs. Prasad shows how P …

Investigating peatland stratigraphy and hydrogeology using integrated electrical geophysics

Hydrology has been suggested as the mechanism controlling vegetation and related surficial pore‐water chemistry in large peatlands. Peatland hydrology influences the carbon dynamics within these large carbon reservoirs and will influence their response to global warming. A geophysical survey was completed in Caribou Bog, a large peatland in Maine, to evaluate peatland stratigraphy and hydrology. Geophysical measurements were integrated with direct measurements of peat stratigraphy from probing, fluid chemistry, and vegetation patterns in the peatland. Consistent with previous field studies, ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) was an excellent method for delineating peatland stratigraphy. Prominent reflectors from the peat‐lake sediment and lake sediment‐mineral soil contacts were precisely recorded up to 8 m deep. Two‐dimensional resistivity and induced polarization imaging were used to investigate stratigraphy beneath the mineral soil, beyond the range of GPR. We observe that the peat is chargeable, and that IP imaging is an alternative method for defining peat thickness. The chargeability of peat is attributed to the high surface‐charge density on partially decomposed organic matter. The electrical conductivity imaging resolved glaciomarine sediment thickness (a confining layer) and its variability across the basin. Comparison of the bulk conductivity images with peatland vegetation revealed a correlation between confining layer thickness and dominant vegetation type, suggesting that stratigraphy exerts a control on hydrogeology and vegetation distribution within this peatland. Terrain conductivity measured with a Geonics EM31 meter correlated with confining glaciomarine sediment thickness and was an effective method for estimating variability in glaciomarine sediment thickness over approximately 18 km2. Our understanding of the hydrogeology, stratigraphy, and controls on vegetation growth in this peatland was much enhanced from the geophysical study.
