This paper presents a novel recommendation system (RS) based on the user-generated content (UGC) contributed by TV viewers via Twitter, in order to demonstrate the value UGC presents for firms. In aggregate these TV viewers’ tweets enable us to calculate the affinity between TV shows and explain the similarity between TV show audiences. We present 1) a new methodology for collecting data from s...

We show that electrical impedance tomography (EIT) image reconstruction algorithms with regularization based on the total variation (TV) functional are suitable for in vivo imaging of physiological data. This reconstruction approach helps to preserve discontinuities in reconstructed profiles, such as step changes in electrical properties at interorgan boundaries, which are typically smoothed by...

Gender is an enlightening lens through which food TV may be analysed (Voski Avakian and Haber, 2005: 6). Food television is in fact 'associated both with the elite world of the professional chef and with the realm of 'women’s work''(Lewis, 2008: 58). This article analyses three daily cooking shows broadcast by mainstream Italian television around noon in the period from October 2011 to June 201...

In most of the initial applications of digital TV telemetry the video source signal is monochrome (typically RS-170 standard). However color TV is now employed extensively in many of the government test ranges, and it is likely that it will be required to digitally transmit the NTSC color TV signal for security and other reasons. It is also likely that the bit rates which will be employed for t...

Mobile devices are increasingly used in social networking applications and research. So far, there is little work on realtime emotion or opinion sharing in large loosely coupled user communities. One potential area of application is the assessment of widely broadcasted television (TV) shows. The idea of connecting non-collocated TV viewers via telecommunication technologies is referred to as So...

The constantly increasing dependence on anytime-anywhere availability of data and the commensurately increasing fear of losing privacy motivate the need for privacy-preserving techniques. One interesting and common problem occurs when two parties need to privately compute an intersection of their respective sets of data. In doing so, one or both parties must obtain the intersection (if one exis...
