Cancer cell metastasis is a major cause of cancer fatality. But the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood, which results in the lack of efficient diagnosis, therapy and prevention approaches. Here, we report a systematic study on the secretory proteins (secretome) and secretory N-glycoproteins (N-glycosecretome) of four human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines wi...

BACKGROUND Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common, is associated with substantial morbidity, and is often not recognised in primary care. AIM To explore whether general practitioners (GPs) have significant gaps in their knowledge of PTSD. DESIGN OF STUDY A controlled study. SETTING Primary care in two Scottish regions. METHOD A validated postal questionnaire consisting of clini...

This paper describes the implementation of the Wide Area Differential Global Positioning System (WADGPS) system in order to evaluate the operational performance of a satellite based aviation navigation system within Taipei Flight Information Region (FIR). The main objective of the WADGPS is to provide real time integrity information regarding the use of GPS for civil aviation applications. This...

The general practitioner is essential in the management of the patient who has recently been discharged from hospital following an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly as duration of hospital stay is shorter than in previous decades. GPs caring for patients after an ACS face numerous challenges. Often, the first of these is insufficient or delayed documentation from the discharging hospi...

Airborne laser scanning (ALS) of urban regions is commonly used as a basis for 3D city modeling. In this process, data acquisition relies highly on the quality of GPS/INS positioning techniques. Typically, the use of differential GPS and high-precision GPS/INS postprocessing methods are essential to achieve the required accuracy that leads to a consistent database. Contrary to that approach, we...

OBJECTIVE To examine knowledge and practices in relation to sexually transmissible diseases (STDs) of general practitioners (GPs) in Victoria, Australia. METHOD A questionnaire was distributed to 520 Victorian GPs randomly selected from the Australian Medical Publishing Company (AMPCo) database of Australian medical practitioners. RESULTS A response rate of 85% was obtained. While sexual he...

RTK GPS has become a global utility in engineering survey activities. RTK GPS offers an efficient means of providing near instantaneous positions by employing differential GPS positioning whereby users can obtain sub-centimetre/millimetre level position in real time. In RTK GPS all algorithms using code information only are limited to range accuracy of about 0.5-1.0 metres due to code noise. Ho...
