Advanced practitioners working with older people in primary care and community settings: a survey of roles and use of technology.

Background: Advanced practitioner (AP) roles are becoming increasingly common in primary care and community settings for supporting older people and those living with frailty.

Aims: The aim of this study was to explore health and social work AP roles in primary care and community settings in the UK, and understand how they support older people and factors that may impact on APs use of technology in practice.

Methods: A cross-sectional, web-based survey was adopted to explore the views and perspectives of APs.

Preventing Cardiac Damage in Patients Treated for Breast Cancer and Lymphoma: The PROACT Clinical Trial.

Background: Cardiotoxicity is a concern for cancer survivors undergoing anthracycline chemotherapy. Enalapril has been explored for its potential to mitigate cardiotoxicity in cancer patients. The dose-dependent cardiotoxicity effects of anthracyclines can be detected early through the biomarker cardiac troponin.

Novel Al/CoFe/-Si and Al/NiFe/-Si MS-type photodiode for sensing.

CoFe and NiFe are used in the construction of Si-based metal-semiconductor-type photodiodes. Thin film layers are sputtered onto the-Si surface where Al metal contacts are deposited using the thermal evaporation technique. Film characteristics of the layers are investigated with respect to the crystalline structure and surface morphology.

Predictive modelling of laser powder bed fusion of Fe-based nanocrystalline alloys based on experimental data using multiple linear regression analysis.

This study harnessed bivariate correlational analysis, multiple linear regression analysis and tree-based regression analysis to examine the relationship between laser process parameters and the final material properties (bulk density, saturation magnetization ( ), and coercivity ( )) of Fe-based nano-crystalline alloys fabricated via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). A dataset comprising of 162 experimental data points served as the foundation for the investigation. Each data point encompassed five independent variables: laser power (), laser scan speed (), hatch spacing ), layer thickness (), and energy density (), along with three dependent variables: bulk density, , and .

Inkjet Printing Magnetostrictive Materials for Structural Health Monitoring of Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composite.

Inkjet printing of magnetic materials has increased in recent years, as it has the potential to improve research in smart, functional materials. Magnetostriction is an inherent property of magnetic materials which allows strain or magnetic fields to be detected. This makes it very attractive for sensors in the area of structural health monitoring by detecting internal strains in carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite.
