In this paper, we discuss QoE (Quality of Experience) requirements for MVV (Multi-View Video) and audio transmission over IP networks and study the effect of the playout buffering time, contents and viewpoint change interfaces on the QoE and user’s behavior. Unlike previous works, which mainly discuss MVV transmission from aspects of video codecs, we study MVV and audio transmission under vario...

In the framework of the Dutch control program for small ruminant lentiviral (SRLV) infections, too many drawbacks were encountered with respect to serological testing. To improve the quality of testing, five enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and an agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGIDT) were evaluated. The focus was on the sensitivity, specificity, and variances of the commercially ava...

The lesions caused by maedi-visna virus (MVV) are known to be immune mediated with a presumed contribution by the response to viral antigens. However, very little is known about the T-cell response to individual viral proteins. We have therefore expressed the three individual gag antigens of MVV strain EV1 (p16, p25, and p14) in a bacterial expression system and used the purified recombinant pr...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to compare the vital capacity (FVC, FEV1, MVV) of normal and underweight women in their 20s. [Subjects] Thirty-four healthy non-smoking young women (age 20–25 years) participated in this study. [Methods] Based on body mass index (BMI), subjects were divided into two groups: the normal weight group (n=18, 18.5<BMI≤25.0) and the underweight group (n=16, BMI≤18....

The objective of this cross-sectional study was to detect the presence maedi visna virus (MVV) infections in sheep three counties southwestern Croatia: Istria County, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and Lika-Senj estimate influence geographical location, breed, age gender as risk factors on prevalence rate. A total 460 randomly selected were tested using a commercially available ID Screen® MVV/CAE...

Impaired pulmonary mechanics or depression of the respiratory centers can limit the ventilatory response to inhaled carbon dioxide in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We devised a method able to detect depressed neurogenic and chemical ventilatory drive during expiratory airflow obstruction. In 14 normal subjects, we impeded expiratory airflow while measuring the resu...

There are considerable interest in algorithms for detecting community structure, which is fundamental for analyzing the relationship between structure and function in complex networks. In this paper, after the introduction of some traditional approaches for detecting community structure and data mining clustering algorithms, we propose Mapping Vertex into Vector(MVV) algorithm, which can conver...

Background & Aims: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks specific aquatic therapy on kyphosis angle and some pulmonary indices in male university students with kyphosis. Methods: A total of 15 males with increased normal thoracic Kyphosis (kyphosis 40 degrees, 20.70 ± 0.705 years old, height 175.5 ± 6.19 cm, weight 64.19 ± 8.23 kg) were selected. Before and afte...
