Liquid heat capacity in the approach from the solid state: anharmonic theory
, 2011 Calculating liquid energy and heat capacity in general form is an open problem in condensed matter physics. We develop a recent approach to liquids from the solid state by accounting for the contribution of anharmonicity and thermal expansion to liquid ...

Absolute lung size and the sex difference in breathlessness in the general population. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Breathlessness is associated with major adverse health outcomes and is twice as common in women as men in the general population. We evaluated whether this is related to their lower absolute lung volumes.Cross-sectional analysis of the population-based ...

Relationship between diffusion capacity and small airway abnormality in COPDGene. [PDF]
, 2019 Impaired single breath carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) is associated with emphysema. Small airways disease (SAD) may be a precursor lesion to emphysema, but the relationship between SAD and DLCO is undescribed. We hypothesized that in mild COPD,
