This paper explores recent problems with Premium Rate Number Service (PRS) use in UK participation TV through a regulatory convergence analytical lens. In 2003, the UK government created the communications convergence regulator, Ofcom, yet PRS regulation continued to remain the responsibility of PhonepayPlus (PPP), originally established in 1986. The paper argues that Ofcom could have anticipat...

© 2014 ETRI Journal, Volume 36, Number 1, February 2014 http://dx.doi.org/10.4218/etrij.14.0113.0348 Recently, efficient partial relay selection (e-PRS) was proposed as an enhanced version of PRS. In comparing e-PRS, PRS, and the best relay selection (BRS), there is a tradeoff between complexity and performance; that is, the complexity for PRS, e-PRS, and BRS is low to high, respectively, but v...

Personalized recommendations are generated by considering the preferences of a target user and similar users. Although explanations of recommendations affect the evaluations of personalized recommender systems (PRS), PRS evaluations have focused primarily on the perceived accuracy and novelty of the recommending algorithms. The goal of this study is to examine the effectiveness of using social ...

The Procedural Reasoning System (PRS) is a general purpose reasoning system that is particularly suited for use in domains in which there are predetermined procedures for handling the situations that might arise. We have just completed an implementation of PRS written in C++, which we call the University of Michigan Procedural Reasoning System (UM-PRS). In this paper, we show how UM-PRS provide...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate outcomes of patients with unexplained infertility who underwent letrozole (LET)– stimulated controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) with timed sexual intercourse (IC) as compared to patients treated with clomiphene citrate (CC) and intrauterine insemination (IUI). STUDY DESIGN: A non­ randomized, retrospective study where unexplained in­ fertility patients (n=7,764) underwen...

BACKGROUND Predicting the occurrence of severe postreperfusion syndrome (PRS) is clinically challenging. We investigated whether the flushed fluid potassium concentration (FFK) was associated with severe PRS in deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT). MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty adult DDLT recipients were enrolled in this retrospective study. Effluent solution samples were collected at the e...
