Switched capacitor, self referencing sensing scheme for high density magneto-resistive memories
… from the same element. This process is called self referencing and is done to minimize offset problems. The special features of this sensing scheme are: the balanced sensing where the signal from the actual and the dummy elements are balanced to have identical time constants, a two stage …

The persuasive impact of autobiographical memories ads: schema-triggered affect or episodic self-referencing?
… memories ads work (i.e., episodic self-referencing). Similar to previous studies, the current study found scant evidence of episodic self-referencing. This study recharacterized self-referencing using the more general term "self-focus". In addition, this study suggested that a …

Do You See Yourself in the Future or Past? The Moderating Role of Cultural Orientation in Explaining Temporal Orientation of Self-Referencing
… relate incoming information to themselves is self-referencing. Advertising practitioners often assume that the self-referencing strategy is one of the most persuasive advertising strategies. Since the self is one of the most well-developed and frequently used constructs in memory, …

Exploring the self-reference effect and its educational applications in typically developing children and children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
… that items, events, or actions which are encoded self-referentially result in a memory advantage. This has been termed the ‘self-reference effect’. There is a lack of research concerning self-referential processes within typically developing children, and children diagnosed with ADHD as well as …

"Strange Attractors" for orchestra
In mathematics, a strange attractor is a self-referencing, dynamical system which evolves over time into a subtle, complex pattern. It walks a fine line between complete regularity and utter chaos, never repeating itself exactly but always cyclically haunting the same paths. Like these transient …

Imagine this: a test of imagination, message framing and reference-level on attitude, self-efficacy and intention to perform exercise
… framing (gain, loss) and reference-level (self, other) on outcomes of interest to health communication practitioners (e.g., attitude, self-efficacy, behavioral intention). Participants (N = 275) read a message about the importance of regular exercise and physical activity. Imagination was …

High repetition rate mode-locked erbium-doped fiber lasers with complete electric field control
… envelope offset locking experiments using self-referencing techniques at 200 MHz repetition rate are described. Initial demonstrations towards repetition rate locking to a methane-stabilized HeNe single-frequency standard using difference-frequency generation are presented.

External cavity laser biosensor for label-free detection
… dual-mode operation of the ECL system enables a self- referencing technique which significantly improves the signal to noise ratio. This advanced instrument enables direct detection of small molecule binding to immobilized protein targets, which is essential for drug discovery process. We develop …

Self-Calibrated Interferometric/Intensity-Based Fiber Optic Pressure Sensors
… performance evaluation of the novel fiber optic self-calibrated interferometric/intensity-based (SCIIB) pressure sensor system. By self-referencing its two channels outputs, for the first time to our knowledge, the developed SCIIB technology can fully compensate for the fluctuation of source …

Self-referenced 1.5 [mu]m fiber frequency combs at GHz repetition rates
… offset frequency (fceo) detection using f-2f self-referencing provides confirmation that the continuum's frequency comb structure remains intact after undergoing amplification, compression, and supercontinuum generation. The fceo beat, along with the laser repetition rate frep, are locked to …

The prediction of cardiovascular reactivity from a measure of hostility: Moderating influences of narcissism and self-involvement
Recent research has implicated hostility and self involvement in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CHD). The present study sought to investigate whether narcissism and self involvement moderate the effects of hostility in predicting cardiovascular reactivity among a sample of college age …

Negative Mood Reduces Self-Referential Memory Effects in an Online Object Ownership Simulation
The Self-Reference Effect (SRE) is a cognitive bias in which self-relevant stimuli are prioritised for processing. This bias allocates more attentional and encoding resources to selfrelevant objects making their memory traces more robust and easily retrievable. Research has repeatedly shown that …

Intrinsic Spectroscopic Tumor Markers Revealed by Double-Differential Analysis of Near-Infrared Absorption Spectra
… (NIR, 650-1000nm) spectra. This is a self-referencing double-differential method which requires high spectral resolution. Application of this method to absorption spectra from tumor-containing tissue reveals specific tumor components (STC). The STC are characterized by specific NIR …

High-resolution Photon Counting OTDR based Interrogation of Multiplexing Broadband FBG Sensors
… to one thousand within a short fiber range. Self-referencing demodulation is necessary to eliminate multiplexed system noise caused by the source power fluctuation and fiber bending effects. A referencing FBG with a different wavelength from the sensing FBG has to be introduced to achieve …

Consumer Location Based Service Perceptions and Response: a focus on Location Based Services and Emerging Mobile Lifestyles
… of customer response types (e.g. proactive and self-referencing LBS; reactive and cross-referencing LBS). By combining situational context, e-lifestyle and individual attributes influencing individual response to LBS in a single study, this research takes forward the argument of Weiss (2013) on …

Self-endorsing effect of brand filters: How the self, self-congruity, and perceived self-expressiveness lead to persuasion
I investigated the self-endorsing effect of brand filters on brand attitudes, purchase intentions, sharing intentions, and whether self-congruity and perceived self-expressiveness mediate the relationship between these variables. I conducted two laboratory experiments each with two conditions …

Investigating the effect of self-cues on children and adults’ visuospatial and verbal working memory, and its applications in maths word problem solving
… WM tasks is dependent on attentional control. As self-cues have been associated with biases in attention, the present thesis sought to investigate, for the first time, the direct influence of self-cues on children and adults’ visuospatial and verbal WM. Additionally, the practical applications of …
