FTP is one of the most important applications on the Internet. This paper introduces a new paradigm for distributed FTP system called FTPGrid, which consists of a collection of FTP servers that work cooperatively and serve all FTP clients. FTPGrid adopts client/grid architecture. FTP clients connect to one server and access all resources in the grid. Some key issues such as resource directory a...

AIM Doctors must ensure they are fit to practise medicine. There is a relationship between unprofessional behaviour at medical school and in subsequent medical practice. This study describes one programme's Fitness to Practice (FtP) policy and outcomes since inception in 2005. METHOD FtP notifications were classified into: health or personal; professional attitudes, or external issues. Seriou...

BACKGROUND Health professional students are expected to maintain Fitness to Practise (FTP) including clinical competence, professional behaviour and freedom from impairment (physical/mental health). FTP potentially affects students, clinicians and clients, yet the impact of supervising students across the spectrum of FTP issues remains relatively under-reported. This study describes clinical ed...

OBJECTIVE This study was to develop a cGMP grade of [(18)F]fluoropropoxytryptophan ((18)F-FTP) to assess tryptophan transporters using an automated synthesizer. METHODS Tosylpropoxytryptophan (Ts-TP) was reacted with K(18)F/kryptofix complex. After column purification, solvent evaporation, and hydrolysis, the identity and purity of the product were validated by radio-TLC (1M-ammonium acetate ...

Fetal PCA, when present, originates from the internal carotid artery (ICA) and it is supplied by the carotid system rather than the vertebro-basillary system. Fetal type posterior (FTP) circulation variation has been reported in 3-36% in the literature. Three types have been described: Transitional configuration, partial FTP and full FTP. In FTP, leptomeningeal collaterals cannot provide the PC...

A core construct in the lifespan theory of socioemotional selectivity, future time perspective (FTP) refers to individuals' perceptions of their remaining time in life. Its adaptation to the work context, occupational future time perspective (OFTP), entails workers' perceptions of remaining time and opportunities in their careers. Over the past decade, several quantitative studies have investig...

Although a limited future time perspective (FTP) has been theorized to be the underlying mechanism of positive emotional functioning later in life, there is scant empirical evidence for this position. Using an integrative data-analytic approach, we investigated the predictive value of FTP, age, and subjective health in explaining emotional functioning in a sample of 2,504 adults (17 to 87 years...

Future time perspective (FTP) is defined as "perceptions of the future as being limited or open-ended" (Lang and Carstensen, 2002; p. 125). The construct figures prominently in both workplace and retirement domains, but the age-predictions are competing: Workplace research predicts decreasing FTP age-change, in contrast, retirement scholars predict increasing FTP age-change. For the first time,...
