background: studies report inappropriate snack and junk food consumption patterns in children and young adults in iran. the current survey was aimed to explore fast food consumption behaviors in high-school students based on the theory of planned behavior. materials and methods: a cross-sectional study was done among 500 high-school students. samples were selected based on cluster sampling meth...

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSdA randomized controlled trial was performed in T2DM patients newly referred to the Diabetes Care System (DCS)West-Friesland, a managedcare system in the Netherlands. The intervention group (n = 131) received a six-step CVD risk communication. Control subjects (n = 130) received standard managed care. The primary outcome measure was appropriateness of risk perception ...

This paper provides formal accounts of dishonest attitudes of agents. We introduce a propositional multi-modal logic that can represent an agent’s belief and intention as well as communication between agents. Using the language, we formulate different categories of dishonesty. We first provide two different definitions of lies and provide their logical properties. We then consider an incentive ...

System designers of today, in view of cutting more and more costs are using integrated circuits, which are unique to their application. In the present work, the main intention is to improve the density of integration to a new height by integrating the Individual components of a typical mobile system into a semi-custom VLSI solution. Further, several error correction techniques are incorporated ...

Our preliminary research focuses on the development of an Ambient Mobile Browsing Experience (AMBE) system. AMBE is a communication and synchronisation framework that will provide integrated connectivity across heterogeneous geographically distributed devices. The intention is to provide persistent location-independent and appliance-sensitive viewing for the user, thus enabling Internet mobilit...

Near Field Communication (NFC) is an emerging wireless short-range communication technology that is based on existing standards of the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) infrastructure. In combination with NFC-capable smartphones it enables intuitive application scenarios for contactless transactions, in particular services for mobile payment and over-theair ticketing. The intention of this ...

The use of anthropomorphic avatars provides Internet users the opportunity and freedom to present their desired identity. As cyberspace becomes a heaven for deceptive behavior, human-computer interaction research will need to be carried out to study and understand these deceptive behaviors. The objective of this research is to investigate the behavior of deceivers and truthtellers in the cybers...

Restrictions on the user interface (like using templateor menu-based communication ) could significantly ease the implementation but they constrain considerably the expressiveness, the flexibility and the applicability. Building free-form natural language communication with domain restrictions is also possible but it requires the application of very complex language tools (parsing, disambiguati...

This project discussed about a brain controlled robot based on Brain–computer interfaces (BCI). BCIs are systems that can bypass conventional channels of communication (i.e., muscles and thoughts) to provide direct communication and control between the human brain and physical devices by translating different patterns of brain activity into commands in real time. With these commands a mobile ro...

The proliferation of technology in today’s world has led consumers to gain insight into brands via digital communication and shape their purchase intentions accordingly. However, brand awareness alone might not be sufficient enhance consumers’ the age communication. Therefore, paint a more comprehensive picture this relationship, paper seeks address how when does lead intention communication? B...
