QuadNet: A Hybrid Framework for Quadrotor Dead Reckoning.

Quadrotor usage is continuously increasing for both civilian and military applications such as surveillance, mapping, and deliveries. Commonly, quadrotors use an inertial navigation system combined with a global navigation satellite systems receiver for outdoor applications and a camera for indoor/outdoor applications. For various reasons, such as lighting conditions or satellite signal blocking, the quadrotor's navigation solution depends only on the inertial navigation system solution.

Insulin-like growth factor I receptor antagonism augments response to chemoradiation therapy in colon cancer cells.

Background: Colorectal cancer remains one of the most prevalent malignancies in the United States. Improvement in local disease control is seen when 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is used in combination with pelvic irradiation for rectal adenocarcinoma. The frequent overexpression of insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-I-R) in rectal adenocarcinoma suggests that inhibition of the signal transduction pathway may be a novel approach to enhance tumor response.
