As the world embraces the Internet for media consumption, the concept of a hybrid newspaper—a printed newspaper with a companion Web site—is becoming more prevalent. Many hope that online advertising revenue (OAR) will help newspapers make up for losses in print (offline) revenue. However, there is little research that has empirically investigated whether and how investment in the “bricks” (i.e., the newsroom staff and resources that produce news content) will help to build “clicks” (i.e., more online visitors and, subsequently, OAR). This article examines the issue via an econometric analysis of 12 years of longitudinal data from a hybrid newspaper. The results show that the basic success of the clicks model depends on the investment in the bricks of the newspaper (i.e., its newsroom). Specifically, although news gathering is a very expensive part of the news business, it is also a creator of value and directly brings in OAR in addition to print advertising revenue. Therefore, as newspapers seek to capture more OAR, they may need to increase, rather than decrease, investment levels in the newsroom. 相似文献

This article introduces the use of choice-based conjoint analysis to measure the content preferences of newspaper readers. Its importance lies in its role as part of an economic theory of newspaper finance that connects various measures of news quality to circulation and to circulation revenue. In addition, choice-based conjoint provides another way to operationalize “quality” in terms of how much readers like various kinds of content and the relative amounts of that liking. Content preferences were obtained from a large sample of readers of a newspaper of about 100,000 in circulation from the Southeastern United States using the proposed methodology and subsequently, the results were used by the newspaper to modify its content accordingly. Four months after the content changes were made, the publisher of the newspaper reported a significant maintenance of circulation even as print price was increased by 75%. The findings are consistent with the economic model of newspaper demand, and suggests that preferences measured using choice-based conjoint provide impetus for making key management decisions. 相似文献

Serum fructosamine (SFRC) was estimated using single colour reading procedure in 50 normals and 160 adult onset random diabetics.
Serum fructosamine levels were observed to be 1.86±0.321 m moles/L (Range 1.0 to 2.4) and 3.44±0.671 (Range 2.0 to 5.7) in
normal and diabetic subjects respectively. Serum fructosamine levels as determined by the method adapted, were found to be
unaffected by a transient rise in serum glucose levels during an oral glucose tolerance test. Significantly elevated SFRC
concentration was also seen in diabetic groups in spite of different combinations of antidiabetic treatment. Attempts to correlate
SFRC with duration and secondary complications of diabetes did show significant elevation in all the groups irrespective of
duration and complications thus indicating poor glycemic control. 相似文献

Serum paraoxonase (PON1) and antibodies to oxidized-LDL (anti ox-LDL) were measured in chronic renal failure subjects on renal
replacement therapy such as hemodialysis (HD) peritoneal dialysis (PD) and transplantation (Txp). Paraoxonase activity was
significantly lower in HD and PD group (P<0.001) than in control subjects. In transplant patients, paraoxonase activity was
not significantly different from that of controls. Antibodies to ox-LDL was significantly higher in HD, PD and Transplant
patients (P<0.0001) compared to control subjects. High titers of antibodies were observed in the HD group compared to the
PD and Transplant subjects. A decrease in paraoxonase activity and high titers of Antibodies to ox-LDL in the dialysis group
suggest a decreased cardio protective effect of HDL and enhanced risk of premature cardiovascular complications. Whereas in
case of transplant subjects, there seems to be restoration of PON1 activity, but elevated levels of anti-oxLDL could still
be a potential atherogenic factor. Hence, we propose that estimation of these two parameters can be used as a useful index
to measure the cardiac risk in the above patient category 相似文献

In the present study, monoclonal gammapathy was identified in a total of 245 patients of plasma cell dyscrasias during period
of 1987 to 2000. The monoclonal band was identified in serum by agar gel electrophoresis in all the cases and in urine in
a few cases. Characterization of paraprotein (monoclonal immunoglobulin class and light chain type) was carried out by employing
immunoelectrophoresis and/or immunofixation electrophoresis using heavy chain specific gamma, alpha, mu, delta and epsilon
and light chain specific kappa (K), lambda (λ) antisera. Serum immunoglobulins Ig G, Ig A, and Ig M were estimated by immunoturbidometry.
Serum urea, creatinine, uric acid, alkaline phosphatase, total proteins, albumin, calcium and phosphorus were estimated by
using routine biochemical methods. Among the 245 cases, 73.1% monoclonal gammapathies were of secretory type and 7.3% were
non-secretory. Monoclonal gammapathies were associated with 80.4% of multiple myeloma, 8.9% of solitary plasmacytoma, 4.1%
of extra-medullary plasmacytoma, 3.3% of lymphoma and 2.9% of plasma cell leukemia. Classification of secretory monoclonal
immunoglobulin revealed monoclonal immunoglobulin Ig G in 74%, Ig A 15% and Ig M in 2.9% cases. 相似文献

Microfluidic organs-on-chips (OoCs) technology has emerged as the trend for in vitro functional modeling of organs in recent years. Simplifying the complexities of the human organs under controlled perfusion of required fluids paves the way for accurate prediction of human organ functionalities and their response to interventions like exposure to drugs. However, in the state-of-the-art OoC, the existing methods to control fluids use external bulky peripheral components and systems much larger than the chips used in experiments. A new generation of compact microfluidic flow control systems is needed to overcome this challenge. This study first presents a structured classification of OoC devices according to their types and microfluidic complexities. Next, we suggest three fundamental fluid flow control mechanisms and define component configurations for different levels of OoC complexity for each respective mechanism. Finally, we propose an architecture integrating modular microfluidic flow control components and OoC devices on a single platform. We emphasize the need for miniaturization of flow control components to achieve portability, minimize sample usage, minimize dead volume, improve the flowing time of fluids to the OoC cell chamber, and enable long-duration experiments. 相似文献
