Integrity of nursing students in Israel: An exploratory study.

Aim: Research regarding the relationship between academic year and age and academic integrity is ambiguous; and at times confounded by a conflation of the terms "age" and "academic year." This research aims to disentangle age from academic year and to assess the possible impact of those two factors on academic integrity.

Background: There is a growing concern regarding the lack of academic integrity among nursing students.

Fabrication of very high aspect ratio metal nanowires by a self-propulsion mechanism.

A novel synthesis method of very high aspect ratio metal nanowires is described. The synthesis utilizes a nanoporous membrane as a template and self-electrophoresis as a directed force that continuously push formed nanowires out of the pores in a rate that is identical to the rate of their elongation. As a result, while the pores of membranes are only 6 microm long, the formed nanowires could be more than 100 microm long.
