Recent years have witnessed a growing proportion of female general practitioners (GPs) worldwide. Because female GPs tend to work fewer hours than male GPs, this continuing trend may accelerate the shortage of GPs. This paper investigates the gender di erence in the wage elasticity of Australian GPs by maximum likelihood estimation of labour supply and wage equations. Quantitative information r...

OBJECTIVE To examine the demographic changes in the cohort of general practitioners servicing residential aged-care facilities (RACFs) from 1984 to 2000. DESIGN Quantitative analysis of Medicare datasets from 1984 to 2000. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING All GPs who provided Medicare-claimed RACF services from 1984 to 2000. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Aggregate data on RACF GPs by age group and sex; t...

PURPOSE To evaluate the usefulness of the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) in patients with esophageal carcinoma (EC). METHODS A total of 50 patients with EC were analyzed for GPS, nutritional and clinicopathologic parameters. Patients with CRP ≤ 1.0mg/L and albumin ≥ 3.5mg/L were considered as GPS = 0. Patients with only CRP increased or albumin decreased were classified as GPS = 1 and patient...

In this paper, a mechanism is designed for integration of inertial navigation system information (INS) and global positioning system information (GPS). In this type of system a series of mathematical and filtering algorithms with Tightly Coupled techniques with several objectives such as application of integrated navigation algorithms, precise calculation of flying object position, speed and at...

IVG (Inter Vehicle Geocast) is a GPS-based InterVehicle Communication mechanism used for alarm message dissemination among vehicles in a highway in risk situations. In this paper, we propose an improvement to IVG towards supporting its interoperability in environments where “GPS-U” GPS-unequipped vehicles are present. They are vehicles that are not equipped with GPS devices or they have some pr...

BACKGROUND General practitioners (GPs) in most high-income countries have a history of being independent private providers with much autonomy. While GPs remain private providers, their autonomous position appears to be challenged by increased policy regulations. This paper examines the extent to which GPs' preferences for private practice vs. salaried contracts changed in a period where a new h...

Agriculture is a complex system science and the knowledge of it is consisting of much concepts and relationships. Examinations in connection with site-specific farming have been carried out by our institute since 1998. Precision farming is a way of agricultural production, which takes into account the in-field variability, a technology where the application-seeding, nutrient replacement, sprayi...
