Stacking-dependent superstructures at stepped armchair interfaces of bilayer/trilayer graphene
We present the first study of quantum interference patterns at a bilayer-trilayer armchair interface, for different stacking sequences. Visualization using scanning tunneling microscopy and theoretical calculations provide...
Inhaled corticosteroids and FEV 1 decline in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Hannah R. Whittaker, Debbie Jarvis, Mohamed R. Sheikh, Steven J. Kiddle, Jennifer K. Quint
Dec 03, 2020
Abstract: Rate of FEV1 decline in COPD is heterogeneous and the extent to which inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) influence the rate of decline is unclear. The majority of previous reviews have investigated specific ICS and non-ICS...
