In this paper, we employ the approach of linear programming to propose a new interactive broadcast method. In our method, a film S is divided into n equal parts and broadcast via k channels. The user simultaneously downloads these segments from k channels into the user’s set-top-box (STB) and plays them in order. Our method assumes that the initial p segments will not have fast-forwarding capab...

This paper proposes the design requirements and target specifications of a high-rejection radio frequency (RF) Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter for an advanced digital set top box (STB) converter. The target application is in the Cable TV (CATV) domain for both retail customers and high-end cable operators. The RF frequency range of the STB is between 50-860MHz for the downstream path and 5-4...

The 2-microm yeast plasmid, a benign high-copy nuclear parasite, propagates itself with nearly the same fidelity as the chromosomes of its host. Equal plasmid segregation is absolutely dependent on the cohesin complex assembled at the plasmid partitioning locus STB. However, the mechanism of cohesin action in the context of multiple plasmid copies, resident within two separate clusters after DN...

Euglena gracilis (E. gracilis) accumulates paramylon, an immune-functional beta-glucan that can be used as a functional food. Paramylon production is strongly affected by the organic carbon source and initial pH conditions. Food processing byproducts have attracted attention for microalgal cultivation because of their low cost abundance nutrients, including nitrogen. We investigated optimal its...

Aim of study: Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici, is one most important wheat diseases worldwide, affecting both bread and durum wheat. The lack knowledge about interaction with Z. together limited resources resistant material, have led to a rising threat for cultivation, particularly in Mediterranean Basin. In Spain, STB has increased its incidence last fe...

This work presents a broadcasting protocol for interactive video-on-demand service. The proposed broadcasting allows the user to play the video-cassette-recorder (VCR) functions which includes the limited fast-forwarding capability. Consider a film S is divided into n equal parts {S1, S2, ..., Sn} and played through k channels. The user simultaneously downloads the film segments from k channels...

The yeast 2 micron plasmid achieves high fidelity segregation by coupling its partitioning pathway to that of the chromosomes. Mutations affecting distinct steps of chromosome segregation cause the plasmid to missegregate in tandem with the chromosomes. In the absence of the plasmid stability system, consisting of the Rep1 and Rep2 proteins and the STB DNA, plasmid and chromosome segregations a...

Monaghan et al. (6 ) in a Scottish population. Our study provides similar findings in an Italian population, without any differences between regional origins. Moreover, 7 of 16 subjects with the 7/7 genotype had STB within the reference interval. These data, in agreement with the recent study by Rudenski and Halsall (7 ), confirm that the Gilbert genotype is not always expressed. There is a nee...

Using the example of the Scottish Tourist Board ((STB) now VisitScotland), this paper outlines three spaces of mediation involved in the discursive transformation of material landscapes into brochure images. STB marketing personnel occupy the first space of mediation. Market research provides specialist knowledge of consumer expectations and key icons of Scotland that form the dominant ideologi...
