Nanomechanical resonators based on atomic layers of tungsten diselenide (WSe) offer intriguing prospects for enabling novel sensing and signal processing functions. The frequency scaling law of such resonant devices is critical for designing and realizing these high-frequency circuit components. Here, we elucidate the frequency scaling law for WSe nanomechanical resonators by studying devices of one-, two-, three-, to more than 100-layer thicknesses and different diameters. We observe resonant responses in both mechanical limits and clear elastic transition in between, revealing intrinsic material properties and devices parameters such as Young's modulus and pretension. We further demonstrate a broad frequency tuning range (up to 230%) with a high tuning efficiency (up to 23% V). Such tuning efficiency is among the highest in resonators based on two-dimensional (2D) layered materials. Our findings can offer important guidelines for designing high-frequency WSe resonant devices.

Sexual sadism has long been of interest to scholars and clinicians in psychology, and most research on sexual sadism has focused on forensic samples. However, recently, research has uncovered the existence of sexual sadism in general populations. Measures designed to assess sexual sadism in the general population are lacking.

African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) women are overrepresented among new HIV diagnoses due to social and structural factors. This study seeks to create, implement, and evaluate a community-based peer-led intervention to improve access to HIV prevention and care for ACB women in Canada. This multisite, five-year project, using community-based participatory research, implementation science and evaluation frameworks, will be implemented in five non-iterative phases.

During winter months, there is increased pressure on health care systems in temperature climates due to seasonal increases in respiratory illnesses. Providing real-time short-term forecasts of the demand for health care services helps managers plan their services. During the Winter of 2022-23 we piloted a new forecasting pipeline, using existing surveillance indicators which are sensitive to increases in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Department of Anorectal Surgery, Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Background And Purpose: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are widely performed surgeries for end-stage joint disease, yet the influence of depression and anxiety on postoperative outcomes remains unclear. This study aims to consolidate current evidence on the relationship between preoperative depression and/or anxiety disorders and postoperative outcomes in adult patients undergoing primary THA or TKA. Given the potential for these psychiatric conditions to affect recovery, pain management, and overall satisfaction, the results of this study are crucial to inform targeted perioperative interventions and improve patient-centered care.
