In this paper, we discuss the current state of organic and molecular-scale electronics, some experimental methods used to characterize charge transport through molecular junctions and some theoretical models (superexchange and barrier tunnelling models) used to explain experimental results. Junctions incorporating self-assembled monolayers of organic molecules - and, in particular, junctions wi...

conclusions given the importance of physical activity, and given that most women are at the pre-contemplation stage of the trans theoretical model, it seems necessary to devise educational interventional plans for the promotion of physical activities among women referred to health centers. patients and methods this was a cross-sectional study with 310 randomly selected females referred to healt...

background: a substantial proportion of college students to not drink enough water and consume sugar-sweetened beverages (ssbs). consumption of ssbs is associated with weight gain, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dental carries, and increased risk for cardiovascular disease. hence, the purpose of this study was to use the multi-theory model (mtm) in predicting initiation and sustenance of pl...

aim: regular physical activity has several physical, psychological and social benefits. however, it is a global health problem, especially among icu nurses. therefore, in order to improve nurses’ physical activity, it is required to determine the effective correlated factors. the aim of this study was to delineate predictive factors on the physical activity of icu nurses based on a trans-theore...

the glass transition temperature of several pvac(1)-b-poly(ma-co-mma) (2) terpolymers with different fractions of methyl acrylate (ma) and methyl methacrylate (mma) repeating units in random copolymer (block 2) were calculated with barton, kwei and topological equations. the calculation was on the basis of the correlation between the fraction of repeating units in random copolymers and theoreti...

backgroundbody image is a determinant of individual attractiveness and physical activity among the young people. this study was aimed to assess the association of trans-theoretical model based exercise behavior change with body image evaluation among the female iranian students.materials and methodsthis cross-sectional study was conducted in sanandaj city, iran in 2016. using multistage samplin...

concomitant research and education are invaluable for patient care and medical practice in trauma. elucidation of a foundation for the integration of training and service that can be combined with research in trauma is crucial, and every trauma case should be studied for this purpose. in this study, we investigated the unique features of trauma research to formulate a generic comprehensive mode...

The forces promoting and constraining speciation are often studied in theoretical models because the process is hard to observe, replicate, and manipulate in real organisms. Most models analyzed to date include pre-defined functions influencing fitness, leaving open the question of how speciation might proceed without these built-in determinants. To consider the process of speciation without pr...

One of the more dramatic life histories in the natural world is that characterized by a single, massive, fatal reproductive episode ('semelparity'). A wealth of increasingly sophisticated theoretical models on differential life history evolution have been produced over the last two decades. In recent years, empirical studies of the ecology of semelparous plants (and their iteroparous relatives)...
