First principle calculations were performed using Density functional theory within the local spin density approximation (LSDA) to understand the electronic properties of Au(100)+TBT system and compare the results with Au(100) and bulk Au properties. Band structure, the total DOS and charge density for these materials are calculated. We found that the HOMO for Au(100)+TBT becomes broader than Au...

AIM This study aims (i) to understand how descriptive normative beliefs (DNB) about typical students' alcohol use and self-regulation (SRG) are related to alcohol use (AU) by exploring the indirect effect of SRG on AU through DNB and (ii) to explore gender differences and the differences between universities in DNB, SRG and AU. SUBJECT AND METHODS The cross-sectional data were collected onlin...

Research has shown that framing messages in terms of benefits or detriments can have a substantial influence on intended behavior. For prevention behaviors, positively framed messages have been found to elicit stronger behavioral intentions than negatively framed messages. Research also seems to indicate that certain contextual features contribute to the persuasiveness of a message. In the pres...

BACKGROUND Message framing has been an important focus in health communication research, yet prior meta-analyses found limited support for using framing to increase persuasiveness of health messages. PURPOSE This meta-analysis distinguished the outcomes used to assess the persuasive impact of framed messages (attitudes, intentions, or behavior). METHODS One hundred eighty-nine effect sizes ...

SOAP as the basis application of Web Services, and, SOAP messages are closely related to the heterogeneous Web services. Secure transmission of SOAP messages play a vital role for the applicability of Web Services. The main challenges to the secure transmission of SOAP messages includes: confidentiality, authentication, integrity, both-party nonrepudiation, and single sign-on. We analyzed and t...
