Abstract: A method of processing a non-real time service of a broadcast receiver, which receives and processes a service being transmitted in non-real time, and a broadcast receiver are disclosed.

Abstract: A method of receiving a broadcast signal including a Non-Real-Time (NRT) Receiver Targeting service is disclosed herein. A method of receiving a broadcast signal including a Non-Real-Time (NRT) Receiver Targeting service, the method comprises receiving broadcast signal including first signaling information and second signaling information, identifying an NRT service based on the first signaling information, parsing a Receiver Targeting Descriptor from the second signaling information, determining validity of the NRT service or an NRT content based on a targeting_criterion_type_code included in the Receiver Targeting Descriptor, and downloading the NRT service or the NRT content when a receiver determines the NRT service or the NRT content to be valid.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a digital television signal including a virtual channel table comprising a list of attributes for virtual channels carried in transport streams; demultiplexing the virtual channel table from the received digital television signal; parsing channel status information from the demultiplexed virtual channel table, the parsed channel status information defining a channel status change time and a new channel status of one of the virtual channels; and performing a channel status change of the virtual channel according to the parsed channel status information.

Abstract: A digital television (DTV) receiver and a method for processing a broadcast signal including real-time broadcast program information are disclosed. The broadcast receiver analyzes the real-time broadcast program information contained in the broadcast signal, and provides a user with the analyzed result, such that the user can correctly recognize the start- or end-time of the broadcast program, and can establish a viewing reservation function or a recording reservation function at an accurate time.

Abstract: A broadcast receiver and a method for processing a broadcast signal including advertisement program information of a PSIP are disclosed. The broadcast receiver analyzes the advertisement program information contained in the broadcast signal, and provides a user with the analyzed result, such that it can provide the user with advertisement program information configured in the form of an electronic program guide (EPG). The broadcast receiver user can record or exclude only the advertisement program selected by the user, or can record only the main broadcast program other than the advertisement program inserted into the single main broadcast program (i.e., commercial in program or event), such that the user can freely manage the advertisement program according to his or her desired scheme.

Abstract: Genetic markers in the porcine melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene are disclosed which are associated with favorable meat quality traits including, drip loss, marbling, pH and color. Further, novel sequence data from regions of the gene are disclosed which may be used in a PCR test to screen for the presence of the marker. The genetic marker may be used to screen animals for breeding purposes which have the desired traits. Kits which take advantage of the PCR test are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are genetic markers for animal growth, fatness, meat quality, and feed efficiency, methods for identifying such markers, and methods of screening animals to determine those more likely to produce desired growth, fatness, meat quality, and feed efficiency and preferably selecting those animals for future breeding purposes. The markers are based upon the presence or absence of certain polymorphisms in an HMGA nucleotide sequence.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is fine mapping of a quantitative trait locus on Chromosome 17 which is associated with meat traits, growth and fatness. The quantitative trait locus correlates with several major effect genes which have phenotypic correlations with animal growth and meat quality which may be used for marker assisted breeding. Specific polymorphic alleles of these genes are disclosed for tests to screen animals to determine those more likely to produce desired traits.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are genetic markers for animal growth, appetite and fatness, methods for identifying such markers, and methods of screening animals to determine those more likely to produce desired growth, appetite and fatness and preferably selecting those animals for future breeding purposes. The markers are based upon the presence or absence of certain polymorphisms in the Ghrelin gene.
