An investigation of perceived behavioral control (PBC), and environmentally responsible behavior (ERB): a case study of occupants in a high performing building
… that if ERB and Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) are positively correlated, indicating that the rate of ERB will be higher by building occupants in high performing buildings. This study focuses on the relation between ERB and PBC in regard to thermal conditions. The data used for this study …

Primary biliary cholangitis: genetic risk, phenotypic stratification and disease pathogenesis
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a rare disease which occurs in fewer than 1 in 2,000 people, mainly women over the age of 40. It is an autoimmune condition and is phenotypically associated with other immune-mediated inflammatory disorders (IMIDs). It is characterised by progressive destruction …

ROLE OF NATURAL KILLER CELLS IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF PRIMARY BILIARY CHOLANGITIS
Background: Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is the most prevalent autoimmune liver disease and involves the selective destruction of small intrahepatic biliary epithelial cells (BECs), potentially leading to biliary cirrhosis and liver transplantation, if left untreated. As of now, …

Explaining consumers' channel-switching behavior using the theory of planned behavior
… that impacted perceived behavioral control (PBC) in all channels. Time and money did not influence PBC in any of the channels. Attitude and subjective norms influenced channel-switching intention for three channels, whereas, PBC was a significant predictor for channel-switching intention for …

Magic and Majorana Fermions in Quantum Computing, Topological Matter, and Dynamics
… thesis is the Pauli-based model of computation (PBC). We extend this model to the regime of fermionic computation, establishing the analogous “fermion-parity-based computation” (FPBC). We develop certain conceptual tools in fermionic computation, including the idea of a “logical Majorana …

An extended communication inequalities approach to disparities in obesity preventive behaviors
… norms, and perceived behavioral control (PBC) influence intentions, and the degree to which intentions lead to behavior. To test the hypotheses and research questions, structural equation modelling and multigroup analysis using MPlus 7.2 were conducted. Two datasets were analyzed, the …

K-complexity and the Jordan-Wigner transformation
… We find that for Periodic Boundary Conditions (PBC) larger operators produce larger early time growth, but do not correlate to larger late-time complexity regardless of the size of the dual operator. The difference between the OBC and PBC results arise from an often overlooked break in …
