To resolve the difficulties in deployment of the classic security solution S-BGP (Secure Border Gateway Protocol), the Translator Trust Model (TTM) for a new solution SE-BGP (Security Enhanced BGP) was proposed to transform the centralized deployment mode of S-BGP to distributed mode. However, the trust (attestations of routing information) translation of TTM only depends on a single hub node a...

Abstract Large-scale solar sails can provide power to spacecraft for deep space exploration. A new type of telescopic tubular mast (TTM) driven by a bistable carbon fiber-reinforced polymer tube was designed in this study solve the problem contact between sail membrane and under light pressure. Compared with traditional TTM, it has small size, weight, high extension ratio, simple structure. The...

background: this study examined the applicability of trans-theoretical model (ttm) to understand exercise behavior among female college students in hamadan university of medical sciences, iran in 2007. methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. the dependent variables analyzed were exercise efficacy expectation, decisional balance (pros and cons). the independent variable was s...

BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) rates decline precipitously during the high school years and are consistently lower among adolescent girls than adolescent boys. Due to cultural barriers, this problem might be exacerbated in female Iranian adolescents. However, little intervention research has been conducted to try to increase PA participation rates with this population. Because PA interventio...

The transtheoretical model posits that health behavior change involves progress through six stages of change: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination. Ten processes of change have been identified for producing progress along with decisional balance, self-efficacy, and temptations. Basic research has generated a rule of thumb for at-risk populations: 40...

OBJECTIVE To examine evidence for properties of the transtheoretical model stages of change-decisional balance relationship as applied to dietary behavior. METHODS Data extracted from 27 studies of 8 different behaviors were examined. RESULTS The measurement structure of decisional balance, relative magnitude of the pros and cons within stages, and shifts in the pros and cons across stages ...

The under-representation of women in the science, technology, engineering, and math disciplines is of broad national concern. This paper reports on the development of new Transtheoretical Model-based measures to assess readiness to take action to advance women scientists. Reliable, valid measures of stage of change, decisional balance, and self-efficacy were developed with a sample of science f...

OBJECTIVE To understand hearing behaviors of adults seeking help for the first time through the application of two models of health behavior change: the transtheoretical model and the health belief model. DESIGN The relationships between attitudes and beliefs were examined relative to hearing-aid uptake and outcomes six months later. STUDY SAMPLE One hundred and sixty adults completed the U...

BACKGROUND It is unknown whether targeted temperature management (TTM) improves survival after pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The aim of this study was to assess the evolution, safety and efficacy of TTM (32-34 °C) compared to standard temperature management (STM) (<38 °C). METHODS Retrospective, single center cohort study. Patients aged >one day up to 16 years, admitted to ...
