OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of anaemia and the metabolic syndrome with special interest in the coexistence of these two problems as well as the possible links. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOD In a cross-sectional household survey, 1294 men and 1522 women aged 20 years and above were interviewed; anthropometric measurements and blood samples were taken. Metabolic syndrome was defined acco...

Vitamin D deficiency is a growing health problem in both the general population and in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and health-related quality of life in CKD is not well established. This study examined the association between vitamin D deficiency and quality of life in pre-dialysis CKD patients. Serum 25-hydroxyv...

The latest London atmospheric emissions inventory (2016), which is calculated using fuel consumption and construction employment, estimates that, the sector contributes 34% of total PM 10 (the largest source), 7% NO X (5 th source). These contribute significantly to 2 2.5 pollution problems in London, a major concern for public health. Real-world emission factors from tail-pipe measurements wer...

1294 yılında Benedict Gaetani, papa olarak seçildi ve kendisi Bonifacius ismini aldı. Onun Papalık dönemini karakterize eden olay Fransa kralı ile girdiği çatışmadır. Kavga, din adamlarının vergilendirmesi başladı bu eylemin önüne geçmek için 1296 Clericis laicos’u deklare etti. Ferman İngiltere krallarını eşit derecede muhatap almasına rağmen tepki Fransa’dan geldi. Kutuplaşmaya Roma’nın öneml...

The insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) plays an important role in cell transformation and in protection from apoptosis. Although the wild-type IGF-IR generally has an antiapoptotic effect, there are reports that its COOH terminus may actually generate a proapoptotic signal. Three different expression plasmids, all coding for the COOH-terminal sequences of the human IGF-IR, MyCF, CF,...

We present a quantitative study of digital signage audience measurement using computer vision.We developed a camera-enhanced digital signage display that acquires audience measurement metrics with computer vision algorithms. Temporal metrics of a person’s dwell time, display in-view time and attention time are extracted. The system also determines demographic metrics of the gender and age group...

pituitary tumors in situ, AtT-20/NYU-1 cells were found to produce the alpha subunit of the glycoprotein hormones (alpha). Alpha accumulation in the medium was constant (3.1 ng/mg cell protein per h) and was not affected by TRH. In contrast, TRH increased the amount of ACTH accumulated in the medium from AtT-20/NYU-1 cells to 190 and 420% of control at 1 and 24 h, respectively. TRH induced a do...

Audience adaptive digital signage is a new emerging technology, where public broadcasting displays adapt their content to the audience demographic and temporal features. The collected audience measurement data can be used as a unique basis for statistical analysis of viewing patterns, interactive display applications and also for further research and observer modelling. Here, we use machine lea...
