Over the decades, researchers have leaned on TMT to explain numerous phenomena, including consumer choice, exercise motivation, risky driving behavior, and other behavioral domains. The present study aimed investigate effect of mortality salience RSB as a health-compromising behavior. Sixty-two participants took part in study. A quasi-experimental design was adopted. result showed that MS incre...

This paper defines FlexiMeta, a metamodeling framework intended to promote more flexibility and creativity while not compromising validation through model conformance. It advocates less coupling between models and metamodels in order to make the creation of models and user-defined metamodels possible in an arbitrary order. It comes along with a generic process structured into several phases. Fo...

Head and neck cancers are relatively less common tumors, but with complex anatomic and physiologic relationships to the structures from which they arise. Multimodal management is required for advanced stage disease, while single modality treatment is usually sufficient for early lesions. Treatment paradigms have shifted toward more functional preservation of speech and swallowing, when possible...

BACKGROUND Conflict management is an essential skill that nursing students need to master as conflict is unavoidable in clinical settings. Examining nursing students' conflict management styles and the associating factors can inform nurse educators on how to equip nursing students for effective conflict management. OBJECTIVES This study aimed at examining undergraduate nursing students confli...

Current browser implementations provide less than desirable secure web page response time over geosynchronous satellite and other long delay broadband networks (e.g., intercontinental access across the Internet). This document defines the issues and recommends a set of enhancements that improve response time without compromising security. These enhancements are shown, by analysis, to provide mo...

Epithelial ovarian tumors are the most common malignant ovarian neoplasms and, in most cases, eventual rupture of such tumors is associated with a surgical procedure. The authors report the case of a 54-year-old woman who presented with spontaneous rupture of ovarian cystadenocarcinoma documented by computed tomography, both before and after the event. In such cases, a post-rupture staging tend...

The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) option to the 802.11 standard is the first step in addressing security concerns; it is an encryption provision. WEP is a security protocol designed to provide a wireless local area network with a level of security and privacy comparable to what is usually expected of a wired network. However since physical security mechanisms no longer apply, the goal of the a...
