This research study examined whether a transfer of learning (i.e., growth in clinical competency) occurred from the simulation laboratory to the clinical bedside and if it did occur, how. The study design was descriptive research, using 14 acute care nurse practitioner students. Observations were done in the simulation laboratory with a standardized patient and then in the clinical setting with an actual patient. The results showed significant growth in overall clinical competency from the simulation laboratory to the clinical bedside (M(diff) = 0.08, SE = 0.02, t(13) = 3.03, p = 0.01, r = 0.64). A statistically significant correlation was noted between the overall competency scores of students in the simulation laboratory and the overall competency scores in the clinical setting, with r(12) = 0.63, p < 0.01. Three themes emerged from the students' responses regarding how the simulation experience affected their clinical competency.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific, multisystemic disorder that affects 2-8% pregnancies worldwide and is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality. At present, there is no cure for PE apart from delivery the placenta. Therefore, it is important and urgent to possess a suitable animal model to study the pathology and treatment of PE.

Tumor organoids have emerged as powerful tools for in vitro cancer research due to their ability to retain the structural and genetic characteristics of tumors. Nevertheless, the absence of a complete tumor microenvironment (TME) limits the broader application of organoid models in immunological studies. Given the critical role of immune cells in tumor initiation and progression, the co-culture model of organoids and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) may provide an effective platform for simulating the interactions between immune and tumor cells in vitro.

We introduce a family of membrane-targeted azobenzenes (MTs) with a push-pull character as a new tool for cell stimulation. These molecules are water soluble and spontaneously partition in the cell membrane. Upon light irradiation, they isomerize from trans to cis, changing the local charge distribution and thus stimulating the cell response.

Boasting superior flexibility in beam manipulation and a simpler framework than traditional phased arrays, terahertz metasurface-based phased arrays show great promise for 5G-A/6G communication networks. Compared with the reflective reconfigurable intelligent surface (reflective RIS), the transmissive RIS (TRIS) offers more feasibility for transceiver multiplexing systems to meet the growing demand for high-performance beam tracking in terahertz communication and radar systems. However, the terahertz TRIS encounters greater challenges in phase shift, beam efficiency, and complex circuitry.

Dual-impulse behaviors of rolling bearings have been widely researched for quantitative diagnosis. However, it is challenging to accurately extract entry and exit moments of the fault from noise-contaminated raw signals. To address this issue, a novel quantitative diagnosis method based on digital twin model is proposed to assess the fault severity from the original signal waveform.
