Article Abstract
This study investigated ways to support young children's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning and transfer of knowledge across informal learning experiences in a museum. Participants were 64 4- to 8-year-old children (M = 6.55 years, SD = 1.44) and their parents. Families were observed working together to solve one engineering problem, and then immediately afterward children worked on their own to solve a second engineering problem. At the outset of the problem-solving activities, families were randomly assigned to receive engineering instructions, transfer instructions, both engineering and transfer instructions, or no instructions. Families who received engineering instructions-either alone or in combination with the transfer instructions-demonstrated greater understanding and use of the engineering principle of bracing compared with those who received only transfer instructions. Moreover, older children who received both engineering and transfer instructions were more successful when working on their own to solve a perceptually different engineering problem compared with older children who received only one set of instructions or no instructions. Implications of the work for developmental and learning science research and informal education practice are discussed.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of the CARES-MFW (Clinical Augmented Reality Education Simulation for Malignant Fungating Wounds) app in enhancing nurses' knowledge and clinical reasoning in the care of MFWs.
Background: Malignant fungating wounds (MFWs) affect many patients with advanced cancer, with nearly 50 % dying within six months of diagnosis. These wounds often present with heavy exudate, pain, malodor and bleeding, leading to profound physical and psychosocial distress.

Objective: Characterisation of thrombus is important for guiding treatment in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). This study presents a novel scoring system for visual assessment of CTEPH on CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA), incorporating both disease location and extent to determine the impact on survival outcomes.
Methods: Patients with CTEPH were identified retrospectively from the ASPIRE registry.

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is pervasive throughout chemistry, biology, and physics. Over the last few decades, we have developed a general theoretical formulation for PCET that includes the quantum mechanical effects of the electrons and transferring protons, including hydrogen tunneling, as well as the reorganization of the environment and the donor-acceptor fluctuations. Analytical rate constants have been derived in various well-defined regimes.
