Background: The transition from school to adult life is challenging for young people with intellectual disability. The study aimed to explore how young people with intellectual disability themselves experience the transition from school to adult life.

Methods: A co-designed, qualitative study.

Colloidal nanorod heterostructures consisting of multiple quantum dots within a nanorod (-DNRs, where is the number of quantum dots within a nanorod) are synthesized with alternating segments of CdSe "dot" and CdS "rod" via solution heteroepitaxy. The reaction temperature, time dependent ripening, and asymmetry of the wurtzite lattice and the resulting anisotropy of surface ligand steric hindrance are exploited to vary the morphology of the growing quantum dot segments. The alternating CdSe and CdS growth steps can be easily repeated to increment the dot number in unidirectional or bidirectional growth regimes.

This article outlines the theoretical development of an approach to simulation prebriefing that we have adopted at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. Many educators struggle with anxious or reticent learners during simulation. This reticence often becomes apparent first during the simulation prebrief.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied the transitions of lithium ion states (^6Li^{+}) using an advanced optical technique, achieving high precision hyperfine splitting values with uncertainties around 10 kHz.
  • Their results significantly improved the accuracy of previous measurements, cutting uncertainties by factors of 5 and 50 for different states, aligning better with theoretical predictions.
  • The improved Zemach radius of the ^6Li nucleus was determined to be 2.44(2) fm, challenging prior estimates and highlighting the need for refined nuclear physics measurements.
