We show that a stationary signal concept such as the Fourier transform (FT) can be linked to a time-varying (TV) concept such as linear TV filtering. In particular, we give a continuous-time and discrete-time linear TV filter interpretation to continuous-time FT and discrete Fourier transform (DFT), respectively. As a consequence, important variants such as warped DFT, DCT, DST also can be view...

The objective of this session is to identify that how films, movies and TV series can affect on anxiety level of the audiences. In this session, actors, directors, and psychologists are going to discuss about the role of TV series, films and their contents on decreasing or increasing of anxiety and the importance of “identification” between audiences and actors or actresses.

Pay-TV piracy in Europe is affecting the legal providers of Pay-TV services. This paper describes the main players in the European Pay-TV market, the Conditional Access Systems (CAS) used in the European Union (EU 15), the European PayTV piracy market, and the most important technologies used. The paper then discusses the effects of Pay-TV piracy on the CAS providers and Pay-TV service provider...

BACKGROUND Having a TV in the bedroom is associated with adiposity in children. It is not known how lifestyle behaviours (television viewing time, diet patterns, physical activity, and sleep duration) mediate this association. The objective of this study was to examine the mediating role of these lifestyle behaviours in the association between TV in the bedroom and percent body fat (% BF). ME...

Histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) are considered as receptors/co-receptors for human norovirus (HuNoV). It has been reported that binding of HuNoV-derived virus-like particles (VLPs) to HBGA-like molecules-expressing bacteria increased the stability of VLPs to heat-denaturation (HD). In this study, we tested for HBGA-like-binding-conveyed protection against HD on viral replication using Tulane...

Radioiodine (RAI) therapy is a safe and effective treatment for hyperthyroidism and individual doses are frequently administered. Initial thyroid volume (TV) is an important parameter for RAI therapy. Ultrasonography (US) is considered the most reliable method of determining TV. The aim of this study was to evaluate TV by means of US in a cohort of 75 hyperthyroid patients before and after RAI ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to explore the association between family-related factors and excessive time spent on screen-based activities among school-aged children. METHODS A cross-sectional survey using the methodology of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study was performed in 2013, with data collected from Slovak (n = 258) and Czech (n = 406) 11- and 15-year-old childre...
