Human factors considerations in distance simulation: A nominal group technique application.

Introduction: The pandemic-driven surge in global distance simulation (DS) adoption highlighted the need for effective educator training. A literature search identified the gap regarding human factors (HF) considerations for the professional development of DS practitioners. This study addresses this gap by applying HF principles to guide educators in developing and delivering evidence-based DS.

The Clinical Alliance and Research in Electroconvulsive Therapy Network: An Australian Initiative for Improving Service Delivery of Electroconvulsive Therapy.

Objective: There is currently substantial heterogeneity in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) treatment methods between clinical settings. Understanding how this variation in clinical practice is related to treatment outcomes is essential for optimizing service delivery. The Clinical Alliance and Research in ECT Network is a clinical and research framework with the aims of improving clinical practice, enabling auditing and benchmarking, and facilitating the collection of naturalistic clinical data.

Highly aligned carbon nanotube forests coated by superconducting NbC.

The formation of carbon nanotube and superconductor composites makes it possible to produce new and/or improved functionalities that the individual material does not possess. Here we show that coating carbon nanotube forests with superconducting niobium carbide (NbC) does not destroy the microstructure of the nanotubes. NbC also shows much improved superconducting properties such as a higher irreversibility and upper critical field.

Pseudoisotropic upper critical field in cobalt-doped SrFe2As2 epitaxial films.

We present resistivity measurements of the complete superconducting upper critical field (H{c2}) phase diagram as a function of angle (theta) and temperature (T) for cobalt-doped SrFe2As2 epitaxial films to 0.5 K and 50 T. Although H{c2}(theta) at 10 K is indistinguishable from that derived from a single-band anisotropy model, the apparent anisotropy H{c2}{ perpendicularc}/H{c2};{ parallelc} linearly decreases to 1 at low T, with H{c2}(0)=47 T.

Synergetic combination of different types of defect to optimize pinning landscape using BaZrO(3)-doped YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7).

Retaining a dissipation-free state while carrying large electrical currents is a challenge that needs to be solved to enable commercial applications of high-temperature superconductivity. Here, we show that the controlled combination of two effective pinning centres (randomly distributed nanoparticles and self-assembled columnar defects) is possible and effective. By simply changing the temperature or growth rate during pulsed-laser deposition of BaZrO(3)-doped YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7) films, we can vary the ratio of these defects, tuning the field and angular critical-current (Ic) performance to maximize Ic.
