Introduction: Competition for specialist registrar (SpR) posts in orthopaedics is high. The aim of the current study was to provide evidence-based advice for applicants applying for SpR posts in orthopaedics.
Methods: The short-listing forms of 273 applicants for orthopaedic SpR posts in South Thames (West) were reviewed. The experience of short-listed candidates was compared with those that were not.
Results: We have shown a high chance of being short-listed between 5 and 6 years after qualification with a sharp fall off either side of this. It is clear that a wide range of appropriate experience is more important than high volume and low quality experience in orthopaedics alone.
Conclusion: Candidates who plan ahead and gain a broad experience have a better chance of progressing in an orthopaedic career. Good, early career advice is essential to achieve this.

Guangxi Key Laboratory of Precision Navigation Technology and Application, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China.
Article Synopsis
- The paper introduces a new theoretical design for a terahertz metamaterial absorber based on surface plasmon resonance, featuring five distinct absorption peaks.
- This structure consists of a gold bottom layer, a silica medium, and a graphene array, with absorption rates reaching up to 99.87% at specific frequencies.
- The design allows for dynamic tuning of absorption characteristics via graphene's Fermi level, offering high sensitivity and wide-angle performance, making it suitable for applications in sensors and optoelectronic devices.

In this work, a new D-shaped photonic crystal fibre sensor structure based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is purposed for measurement of analyte refractive index (RI). In this design, a silica cylinder is polished into a D-shaped silica material structure with a flattened surface where two Au nanowires are coated. Some air holes are omitted to form the core mode region.

The coupling effects of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) from metamaterials induce variation in both the frequency and intensity of plasmonic modes. Here, we report an angular-dependent THz modulator with hybrid metal-graphene metastructures. The metastructures composed of the period gold split-rod arrays on top of a monolayer graphene, which show redshift modulation in the THz region with an increasing incident angle due to the strong out-of-plane magnetic flux introduced by the clockwise circular current at the oblique incidence.

The Society for Psychophysiological Research and accompanying journal, Psychophysiology, have increasingly incorporated diversity and inclusion into their posted values, conference programming, and science. Much of this focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion work has occurred since 2010. The current review content analyzed the articles published in Psychophysiology from 2010 through 2020 to determine if SPR and Psychophysiology's commitment to diversity and inclusion has resulted in changes to reporting and analysis of participant demographics.
