background the lifestyle from the point of sociology refers to the way a person lives to one’s own ability but basically and due to its importance with health and wellness means choosing the best method for improving health aspects in one person’s life. lifestyle is discussed in different religious as well as several countries. objectives due to the importance of studying about lifestyle as a w...

results the χ2 test showed that the experimental and control groups significantly differed in relapse rates (χ2 = 6.30, df = 1, p < 0.001). in addition, the covariance analysis showed a significant difference between the two groups in resiliency enhancement at post-test (f = 33.76, p < 0.001) and follow-up (f = 37.67, p < 0.001). conclusion the results indicate that lifestyle training is effect...

We demonstrate how to use SAS to design experiments for multicomponent interventions for multifactorial health syndromes. Multifactorial syndromes are health conditions that have more than one risk factor related to the outcome and require interventions with several components that target different risk factors. The design and analysis of multicomponent trials are complicated by the number of f...

As a measure to manage the climate impact of aviation, significant enhancements to aviation technologies and operations are necessary. When assessing these enhancements and their respective impacts on the climate, it is important that we also quantify the associated uncertainties—this is important to support an effective decision and policy making process. However, such quantification of uncert...

The evaporation and dynamics of a multicomponent droplet on a heated chemical patterned surface were presented. Comparing to the evaporation process of a multicomponent droplet on a homogenous surface, it is found that the chemical patterned surface can not only enhance evaporation by elongating the contact line, but also change the evaporation process from three regimes for the homogenous surf...

The sustainable use of multicomponent treatments such as combination therapies, combination vaccines/chemicals, and plants carrying multigenic resistance requires an understanding of how their population-wide deployment affects the speed of the pathogen adaptation. Here, we develop a stochastic model describing the emergence of a mutant pathogen and its dynamics in a heterogeneous host populati...

CONTEXT Skin cancer is a preventable and commonly diagnosed cancer in the U.S. Excessive ultraviolet radiation exposure is a known cause of skin cancer. This article presents updated results of two types of interventions evaluated in a previously published Community Guide systematic review: multicomponent community-wide interventions and mass media interventions when used alone. EVIDENCE ACQU...

INTRODUCTION Malignant melanomas account for 5% of all skin cancers and usually have a fatal clinical course. Additionally, the incidence of melanoma increases more rapidly than in any other cancer, and this has been attributed to the development of highly sensitive diagnostic techniques, mainly dermoscopy, which allows for early diagnosis. The phenotypic manifestations of gene/environment inte...

The effect of curvature on the surface tension of droplets and bubbles in both single and multicomponent systems is modeled using the basic equations from classical thermodynamics. The three expressions used in our work are the Gibbs adsorption equation for multicomponent systems, the relation between the surface tension at the surface of tension and the distance parameter , and the Macleod–Sug...

A novel multicomponent synthesis of ketene dithioacetal rhodanines has been reported by reactions of primary amine, carbon disulfide, ethyl chloroacetate, and alkyl halide in DMF. The catalytic effects of different bases have been investigated and potassium carbonate can efficiently catalyze the reaction in moderate to good yields at room temperature. 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
