i ama asking about charge transfer analysis, Lowdin charge take in acount the 
population in orbital (if i am wrong correct me) and they are only valence 
electrons, compared with Bader analysis in wich we can analyse all electron 
(core and valence) and we can say that there ischarge transfer from metal to 
the substrate or vice versa, is it the same with Lowdin charge when we 
calculate the total electronic population in the fre metal and the total 
electronic population in the surface.

They are valence electrons, of course; what else...? They are? 
partitioned in agreement with the Lowdin method, and are generally? 
neither integer values, nor too meaningful (in terms of physical? 
insight) values. Nevertheless, you may trust in trends: you change? 
something and see how the Lowdin partition reacts to such changes...
