In this paper the architecture of a software GPS receiver is described and an analysis is included of the performance of a software GPS receiver when tracking the GPS signals in challenging environments. Results are included which demonstrate the advantage of the software GPS receiver in tracking the GPS signals in low signal-to-noise or jamming scenarios. Various current and previous applicati...

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 research, four different positioning methods were compared in order to evaluate their accuracy, using a remotely controlled robot on a specific route. these methods included: using a single gps module, combining the data from three gps modules, using an inertial measurement unit (imu), and gps/imu data fusion. the comparison of these four methods showed that gps/imu data fusion along wi...

BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation before surgery, as evidenced by the Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), predicts postoperative complications and cancer-specific survival in various types of cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance GPS in hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-six patients who underwent elective hepatic resections fo...

BACKGROUND Providing doctors with new research findings or clinical guidelines is rarely sufficient to promote changes in clinical practice. An implementation strategy is required to provide clinicians with the skills and encouragement needed to alter established routines. AIM To evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of different training and support strategies in promoting implem...

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...
