Article Synopsis
- The effectiveness of a pilot e-learning course on oncogenomics for health professionals was assessed, revealing significant knowledge gains.
- Nearly 350 Italian professionals, primarily physicians, showed an average post-test score that increased by 19% after completing the course, with older age and southern region residency linked to larger improvements.
- Participants rated the course highly in terms of methodology, content quality, and usability, indicating strong satisfaction and potential for broader use in professional education.
Article Synopsis
- * From a survey of 1,368 US parents, 10.1% reported their child has severe autism, with these children more likely to have intellectual disabilities and significant language delays compared to those with mild/moderate autism.
- * Children labeled as severe/autistic face more behavioral challenges and caregiver stress, indicating they may require additional therapy and support to improve their well-being and access to healthcare.
The flow of water confined in nanosize capillaries is subject of intense research due to its relevance in the fabrication of nanofluidic devices and in the development of theories for fluid transport in porous media. Here, using molecular dynamics simulations carried out on 2D capillaries made up of graphite, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and a mix of the two, and of sizes from subnanometer to few nanometers, we investigate the relationship between the wettability of the wall capillary, the water diffusion, and its flow rate. We find that the water diffusion is decoupled from its flow properties as the former is not affected either by the height or chemistry of the capillary (except for the subnanometer slits), while the latter is dependent on both.
