BACKGROUND French general practitioners (GPs) refer their patients with major depression to psychiatrists or for psychotherapy at particularly low rates. OBJECTIVES This qualitative study aims to explore general practitioners' (GP) opinions about psychotherapy, their relationships with mental health professionals, their perceptions of their role and that of psychiatrists in treating depressio...

Rapidly developed automated data gathering techniques and methods like LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging), GPS, integrated barymetric measurements consisted of GPS and digital sounder, are often used for obtaining observations for creation Digital Terrain Model (DTM). Methods mentioned above produce large data sets, which may cause problems for users at the stage of main processing, in which D...

OBJECTIVES To devise a method of communicating with the general practitioners (GPs), overcoming the constraints imposed by patient confidentiality and the low levels of staffing in genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics. To assess the GPs' responses to this method of communication. SETTING GUM clinics at two centres in Kent-Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells. METHODS Patients were recruited if the...

BACKGROUND Australian General Practitioners (GPs) are in the forefront of primary health care and in an excellent position to communicate with their patients and educate them about Complementary Medicines (CMs) use. However previous studies have demonstrated that GPs lack the knowledge required about CMs to effectively communicate with patients about their CMs use and they perceive a need for i...

A mbust Hough transform-like method facilitated by a closs of CORDIC-structured computations is implemented. It empowers aerial surveillance systems to novigofe effectively when the GPS and inertial navigation sensars ore out af order or GPS f...

This paper describes about the modeling of errors (like ionospheric delays, atmospheric delays, Troposphericelays, Multipath effects and dilution of precision etc.,) affecting the GPS signals as they travel from satellite to user on Earth. These errors degrade the accuracy of GPS position. An attempt is made to improve the accuracy in locating the GPS receiver by filtering the range measurement...

and-held GPS receivers are used by soldiers to find their way in strange lands, especially at night. H GPS receivers are also used to find downed pilots and locate other strategic personnel. After the Gulf War, the U.S. Army announced it would install GPS in all armored vehicles to help minimize friendly fire incidents, which was a major source of casualties in Operation Desert Storm. Friendly ...

The histological structure, as well as content and distribution of glycoproteins (GPs) in the digestive tract mucosa, of the Atlantic bluefin tuna were studied. The digestive tract is short in accordance with their predatory nature and consists of the oesophagus, stomach and intestine. The short oesophagus has deep longitudinal folds and contains an abundance of secretory cells which synthesize...

The pseudolite system is a good alternative for indoor positioning systems due to its large coverage area and accurate positioning solution. However, for common Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, the pseudolite system requires some modifications of the user terminals. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a new pseudolite-based indoor positioning system architecture. The main idea i...
