OBJECTIVE To assess general practitioners' (GPs') information-seeking behaviour and perceived importance of sources of scientific medical information and to investigate associations with GP characteristics. DESIGN A national cross-sectional survey was distributed electronically in December 2013. SETTING Danish general practice. SUBJECTS A population of 3440 GPs (corresponding to approxima...

OBJECTIVE Personality disorders (PDs) often remain unrecognized in older adults by doctors in general practice. Therefore, this study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of a screening instrument, the Gerontological Personality Disorder Scale (GPS), in a Dutch general-practice population of older adults. METHOD The psychometric properties of the GPS patient (GPS-pv) and informant (GPS-iv) versi...

Next generation GPS receivers will take advantage of Spatial processing from a Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) and Ultra-Tightly-Coupled (UTC) and Tightly–Coupled GPS/inertial signal processing to improve their robustness to interference and their performance in a multipath environment. This introduces the potential for failure modes to be introduced into the GPS solution from the S...

The ephemeris data format of legacy GPS receivers is improper for positioning stationary pseudolites on the ground. Therefore, to utilize pseudolites for navigation, GPS receivers must be modified so that they can handle the modified data formats of the pseudolites. Because of this problem, the practical use of pseudolites has so far been limited. This paper proposes a pseudolite-based position...

in this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical slam/gps/ins/wlfp sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term gps failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. in addition, in gps denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...
