The Importance of Radio Advertisement

Radio advertisement, which first appeared in 1920s, is one of the popular commercials in the world. It usually lasts for 30 - 60 seconds and uses some memorable audio cues, such as jingles or catch phrases, to grab the audiences’ attention. And it often broadcasts during the breaks of the radio programs.
Besides, one of the most important elements of radio advertisement is the good script because most people that are listening to the radio are probably doing something else at the same time (whether it be driving, working, etc). If the script is not good enough to draw the interest of the audience, then the ads cannot be kept in mind by the listeners. And that’s why making the radio ad a conversation between two people has much better impact than reading a script by only one person.
 And according to some surveys, we can find that the radio advertisement has positive effect on the sale of the products. One of evidence of the results is from an article which studies the effect of radio advertisement on the sale of herbal products in Ho Municipality of Ghana.
In fact, compared with other traditional advertising channels such as television and print, the most important advantage of radio advertisement is cost-effective, especially when the budget is limited. Besides, the radio advertisers can pick up and focus on the target customers more easily since different radio stations tend to have a targeted programming demographic, which can make the radio advertisement more effective.
While compared with the new media like the Internet and mobile ads, it seems that there aren’t too many advantages of radio advertisements. After all, it’s an Internet era. But we can know that radio advertisement is still important in the market via recent years’ surveys from different researchers. Besides, now the Internet radio is developing and the radio advertisement can also be broadcast via the Internet, which means the radio advertisement can be very effective in the market and is also a new approach for the study of radio advertisement.

Incorporation of High-Altitude Balloon Experiment in High School Science Classrooms

High-altitude balloon is a balloon, filled usually with helium or hydrogen that ascends into an area called “near space” or stratosphere. The most common type of high-altitude balloons are weather balloons. Other purposes include use as a platform for experiments in the upper atmosphere. Modern balloons generally contain electronic equipment such as radio transmitters, cameras, or satellite navigation systems, such as GPS receivers. The mission of the High-Altitude Balloon Experiment (HABE) is to acquire supporting data, validate enabling technologies, and resolve critical acquisition, tracking, and pointing (ATP) and fire control issues in support of future space-based precision pointing experiments. The use of high-altitude balloons offers a relatively low-cost, low-vibration test platform, a recoverable and reusable payload, worldwide launch capability, and a 'near- space' emulation of the future space systems operational scenarios. More recently, several university...

Electron Spin and Proton Spin in the Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Like Atomic Systems

Read full paper at: http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=52202#.VIj7tMnQrzE Author(s) Stanisław Olszewski * Affiliation(s) Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland . ABSTRACT The mechanical angular momentum and magnetic moment of the electron and proton spin have been calculated semiclassically with the aid of the uncertainty principle for energy and time. The spin effects of both kinds of the elementary particles can be expressed in terms of similar formulae. The quantization of the spin motion has been done on the basis of the old quantum theory. It gives a quantum number n = 1/2 as the index of the spin state acceptable for both the electron and proton ...

The Influence of Heated Soil in Crop of “Tamaris” Tomato Plants on the Biological Activity of the Rhizosphere Soil

Tomato is a plant with high heat requirements and sensitive to cold weather and frost. The optimum temperature for the growth of tomato plants is between 21˚C and 27˚C during the day and between 17˚C and 21˚C at night. The soil temperature is also very important for plant growth. The optimum soil temperature for tomato cultivation should be within the range 15˚C - 18˚C. Besides, the proper development of the root system depends on the optimal temperature of the soil. A temperature below 14˚C reduces and inhibits the growth of the root system and encourages the development of fungal and bacterial diseases. In this study, the authors aimed to evaluate the effect of heated soil on the population of bacteria, fungi and nematodes inhabiting the soil of tomato cultivar “Tamaris” growing in peat and coconut substrates. The experiment was carried out in 12 treatments and in 3 replications (one slab was one replication). The soils were tested in two different types of containers: cylinders...
