Article Synopsis
- Understanding charge carrier transport in van der Waals heterostructures is essential for their use in electronics and related fields, but existing measurements of resistivity across thin samples are limited due to challenges in 2-probe methods.
- A new technique is proposed to accurately determine contact and lead resistances by analyzing how contact voltages change with different electrode widths, allowing for the measurement of true cross-plane resistance without needing complex device fabrication.
- The study successfully applies this method to a layered heterostructure of PbSe and VSe, revealing significant differences in resistivity depending on the direction of current flow and identifying a transition to a charge density wave state during cross-plane transport in the samples.
Background: Despite rehabilitation being increasingly advocated for people living with incurable cancer, there is limited evidence supporting efficacy or component parts. The progressive decline in function and nutritional in this population would support an approach that targets these factors. This trial aimed to assess the feasibility of an exercise and nutrition based rehabilitation programme in people with incurable cancer.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: Recent guidelines by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) have advocated increased attention to nutritional support in all patients with cancer; however, little is known about the optimal type of nutritional intervention. The aim of this review was to assess the current evidence for nutrition support in patients with incurable cancer.
Methods: This review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.
Millions of custodial suspects waive their Miranda rights each year without the benefit of legal counsel. Miranda understanding, appreciation, and reasoning abilities are essential to courts' acceptance of Miranda waivers (Grisso, 2003; Rogers & Shuman, 2005). The question posed to forensic psychologists and psychiatrists in the disputed Miranda waivers is whether a particular waiver decision was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary.
