We identified factors associated with success among the first 531 patients referred to a Veterans Affairs Medical Center smoking cessation clinic. Both patients and providers completed questionnaires covering smoking history, other health habits, and comorbidity. The 3-month success rate was 23% of all referrals or 42% of clinic attendees. Among those referred, factors associated with their success were being at least 50 years of age, having hyperlipidemia, and not currently drinking alcohol. Among those who attended the clinic at least once, factors associated with success were being at least 50 years of age, being less physically active, and not currently drinking alcohol. Neither patients nor providers could predict who would successfully stop smoking.

This paper reported a new type MDF absorber of high absorption and Broadband was successfully prepared, according to the Electromagnetic Wave Absorbing Theory, by means of the theoretical design and simulation analysis by using MDF as the dielectric material and And with the resistance film composite. Results shown that the resistance of resistive film was 195Ω/□, the monolayer combined sample with thickness as 1.4cm in 2~4 GHz frequency bands, the range of absorbing over -20dB could achieve 50%, and all absorption could exceed -15dB in the whole S-band, the maximum absorption peak was -25dB, moreover, the absorption bandwidth of MDF was more than λ/4 Type EWM-absorber. The new materials could be used to improve residential electromagnetic environment and control pollution.

Based on the principle of electromagnetic wave absorption, through the double-layer matching design and simulation analysis, taking foam cement panel as the dielectric material, combining with the resistive film, the paper has successfully prepared high-performance and broad-band foam cement absorbing panel for electromagnetic pollution control. The result shows, with the use of double-matching design that combines 140 Ω/□ resistive film with foam cement absorbing panel whose each layer thickness is 1.4 cm, in the S band , 100% of bandwidth below-10 dB and 95% of bandwidth below-14 dB can be reached, a maximum absorption of-19.6 dB at 2.45 GHz, the width of the absorption is far more than that of λ/4 type absorber. New materials can be used for the improvement of indoor electromagnetic environment and pollution control.

According to the principle of electromagnetic wave absorption, functionally reforming thermal insulating materials for building, through designing and theoretically simulating of the λ/4 model, the article has successfully prepared EPS composite gypsum boards for electromagnetic wave absorption. The result shows that, a maximum absorption of-18.7dB at 3GHz and 85% of bandwidth below-10dB was achieved under following conditions: using 380Ω/□ resistive film, specimen thickness of 1.50cm. However, by using phase modulation membrane (PMM),it achieved a maximum absorption of-20dB and 100% of bandwidth below-10dB. This new composite materials can be used for electromagnetic interference protection for WLAN and indoor electromagnetic radiation pollution control.
