Providing concise, consistent, and individually relevant patient education is critical. At one institution, patients and families attended a chemotherapy education class consisting of an 11-minute DVD and an oncology nurse-facilitated group discussion. Postclass and eight-week follow-up surveys assessing understanding of treatment side effects, self-care management, and confidence in managing s...

We use the optical pickup head of a commercial compact disk (CD)/digital versatile disk (DVD) read only memory (ROM) drive to detect the vertical displacement of micro fabricated cantilever in atomic force microscopy (AFM). Both the contact and AC modes of AFM are demonstrated. The single atomic steps of graphite can be resolved, indicating that atomic resolution in the vertical displacement de...

DVD-video is becoming more and more popular as the cost of hardware and media falls but the world of technology has moved on since the format was finalised. New and better encoding formats have been produced and there is a possibility that DVD’s will become obsolete just as it becomes mainstream. The MPEG4 derivative DivX;) claims to have the capability of storing 10 times as much video as DVD-...

In the present work,MoS2 decorated graphene nanocomposite powders were synthesized by laser scribing method.Theobtainedflexible light-scribed graphene/MoS2composites are very suitableas micro-supercapacitors and thus their performance was evaluated at different concentrations.The effect of laser scribing process to reducegraphene oxide (GO) was investigated. The GO/MoS2composite wassynthesized ...
