  2. 11. Height determination by GPS : A practical experiment in central Sweden

    Author : Stig-Göran Mårtensson; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Division of Geodesy Reports; Surveying; Lantmäteri;

    Abstract : GPS as a height measuring tool has been widely introduced for solving various tasks within the fields of Geodesy and Engineering Surveying. The obvious advantage of not needing lines of sight when acquiring height differences is, however, darkened by the fact that GPS and traditional spirit levelling have fundamentally different reference systems for heights.

  4. 12. Outcomes from GPs' Consultations

    Author : Annika Andén; Carl Edvard Rudebeck; Sven‐Olof Andersson; Niels Bentzen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Background and aims. Patients’ consultations with GPs can deal with a wide range of conditions and problems. Generally, consultation outcomes have been considered in evaluations but outcome has a meaning for elaboration of care beyond the graduating role of quality and other evaluation instruments.

  5. 13. Detail Surveying with GPS

    Author : Kjell Almgren; Lars Sjöberg; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Abstract In the past ten years, the Global Positioning System (GPS) has revolutionized navigation and positioning at or near the surface of the Earth. Even though it is developed and authorized by the US military forces, it has found a remarkable civilian use. In most uses of GPS, the position accuracy is in the order of metres. READ MORE

  6. 14. Ground Movements in the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt of SW Iran Measured by GPS and InSAR Compared to Physical Models

    Author : Faramarz Nilfouroushan; Christopher Talbot; Hemin Koyi; Christophe Vigny; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Zagros fold-thrust belt; deformation; GPS; InSAR; Physical modeling; tectonics; convergent settings; basal friction; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis uses geodetic satellite data to measure present-day crustal deformation in the Zagros fold-thrust belt (SW Iran). Geodetic-type measurements are also used in down-scaled models that simulate the surface deformations seen in convergent settings like the Zagros fold-thrust belt. READ MORE

  7. 15. Studies of Atmospheric Water Vapor Using the Global Positioning System

    Author : Ragne Emardson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; troposphere; microwave radiometry; climatology; radiosondes; atmospheric water vapor; Global Positioning System; time series analysis; VLBI; space geodesy; GPS; Very Long Baseline Interferometry; meteorology; radio wave propagation; Kalman filtering;

    Abstract : Atmospheric water vapor is of fundamental interest in the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) techniques. These techniques are based on the timing of radio waves propagating through the atmosphere. READ MORE
