Background This study examined the relationship between family communication and weight stigma.The Office Desk Family Communication Patterns Theory was used as a framework to explain the relationships between two dimensions of family communication (i.e., conversation orientation and conformity orientation) and antifat attitudes (i.e., physical unat
Economic Scheduling of Residential Plug-In (Hybrid) Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Charging
In the past decade, plug-in (hybrid) electric vehicles (PHEVs) have been widely proposed as a viable alternative to internal combustion vehicles to reduce fossil fuel emissions and dependence on petroleum.Off-peak vehicle charging is frequently proposed to reduce the stress on the electric power grid by shaping the load curve.Time of use (TOU) rate
Recent advances in nano-photonic techniques for pharmaceutical drug monitoring with emphasis on Raman spectroscopy
Innovations in Raman spectroscopic techniques provide a potential solution to current problems in pharmaceutical drug monitoring.This review aims to summarize the recent advances in the field.The developments of LIP SHINE WHISPER novel plasmonic nanoparticles continuously push the limits of Raman spectroscopic detection.In surface-enhanced Raman sp
Modeling of morphometric parameters of gypsum sinkholes
Introduction Maroon plain, located in Maroon basin is situated in Khuzestan, and Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad provinces; and Jaber plain is positioned in northwest Ilam City in Ilam Province.The existence of Gachsaran Formation and gypsum karstic phenomena (the most important of which are sinkholes) in the mentioned plains, can have a very devastatin
