The integration of GPS and INS can overcome the defects of INS or GPS standalone systems, and benefits from the complementary characteristics of the two systems. This paper describes progress on the development of a GPS/INS integrated system based on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) platform. Compared with the application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) approach, the FPGA approach can ...

INTRODUCTION The main objective for this study was to investigate the quality of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) treatment and control by the private sector in Namibia. METHOD This was a cross-sectional study employing quantitative methodology using different methods of data collection. A self-administered questionnaire exploring General Practitioners (GPs) perceptions of factors that i...

More and more companies are doing international research as they design products and services for people around the world. These studies are particularly complex and challenging however, and there are, to date, relatively few resources to guide the people doing them. This tutorial uses scenarios and discussion to help practitioners learn how to approach, plan, manage, and interpret internationa...

The relationship between the ethnographic text and cultural background of the anthropologist hailing from a culture different than the people he studied has already been well discussed in the wide range of anthropological literature. This paper explores the relationship between ethnographic text and the native anthropologist that has seldom been discussed so far. The paper also discusses the pr...

Abstract In the geodetic data processing field, most methods for dealing with inequality constraints model are based on additive random error (ARE) models, and there have been few studies mixed multiplicative (MAAMRE) models constraints. To address this problem, a MAAMRE is first established definition of constraint equations, then, corresponding parameter estimation algorithm proposed idea an ...

Three-dimensional surface displacement field associated with the 25 April 2015 Gorkha, Nepal earthquake is derived from an integration of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements, with an extended SISTEM (Simultaneous and Integrated Strain Tensor Estimation From Geodetic and Satellite Deformation Measurements) approach (ESISTEM) proposed ...

Background: Continuing Medical Education (CME) of general practitioners (GPs) regarding most of the diseases, especially psychiatric disorders, is implementing worldwide to maintain and develop their knowledge, skills, and professional performance. We investigated the effects of CME on GPs knowledge in the field of psychiatric disorders in Dezful University of medical sciences (DUMS) as a Newly...

Accurate indoor position and movement information of devices enables numerous opportunities for location based services. GPS provides accurate localization results in an outdoor environment, however, GPS cannot be applied indoors pervasively due to the various interferences. Although extensive research has been dedicated to this field, accurate indoor location information remains a challenge wi...
