Achieving and maintaining perfect homeostasis, particularly in terms of metabolism, represent a major goal for post-cardiac arrest (CA) care. Since cooling may provoke different physiological responses, it is of particular importance to be aware of these changes that may require specific treatment adjustments during this recovery period [1]. Several points are particularly illustrative. Regardi...

In 1985 Fell and Diffie proposed constructing trapdoor functions with multivariate equations [11]. They used several sequentially solved stages. Another idea of building triangular systems we call T has been initiated by Shamir. In the present paper, we study a more general family of TPM (for ”Triangle Plus Minus”) schemes: a triangular construction mixed with some u random polynomials and with...

BACKGROUND The transtheoretical model (TTM) has been successful in promoting health behavioral change in the general population. However, there is a scant knowledge about physical activity in relation to the TTM during pregnancy. Hence, the aims of the present study were (1) to assess readiness to become or stay physically active according to the TTM and (2) to compare background and health var...

Background: Few studies have addressed quality of life (QOL) and functional impairment in trichotillomania (TTM). This study empirically documented QOL and its predictors in both non-clinical and clinical TTM samples using generic measures of QOL. Methods: Two TTM samples (conference attendees and treatment outcome study participants) completed standardized QOL measures, the Medical Outcomes St...

Antifriction synergies between an ionic liquid (IL) and nanopowders as additives of ester base oil were analysed at rolling conditions. For this aim, two nanodispersions based on hybrid combinations hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles (h-BN) or graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) with tri(butyl) ethylphosphonium diethylphosphate in triisotridecyltrimellitate (TTM) the mixture TTM IL using tribometer...

Smoking remains the most significant modifiable risk factor for the leading causes of death in the United States. The most frequently used theoretical model used to guide interventions directed toward smoking cessation has been the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) (Prochaska and DiClemente, 1983), although the effectiveness and efficacy of the model's use in guiding smoking cessation interventions ...

The Third Manifesto (TTM) presents the principles of a relational database language that is free of deficiencies and ambiguities of SQL. There are database management systems that are created according to TTM. Developers need tools that support the development of databases by using these database management systems. UML is a widely used visual modeling language. It provides built-in extension m...

The application of theory to practice can be challenging. This article describes the experiences of one organization in applying the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) to a health promotion program for older adults, Health Stages. The concepts of the model, especially stage of change, were successfully used for program planning, curriculum development, and program evaluation. A Programming Grid was d...

Investigation of the non-equilibrium dynamics after an impulsive impact provides insights into couplings among various excitations. A two-temperature model (TTM) is often a starting point to understand the coupled dynamics of electrons and lattice vibrations: the optical pulse primarily raises the electronic temperature T(el) while leaving the lattice temperature T(l) low; subsequently the hot ...
