What can we learn about COPD from impulse oscillometry? [PDF]
Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is the most commonly used type of forced oscillation technique in clinical practice, although relatively little is known about its application in COPD.

Exploratory study into the effect of abdominal mass loading on airways resistance and ventilatory failure [PDF]
Objective We hypothesised that the airway resistance during tidal breathing would correlate with a particular pattern of increasing obesity, particularly when supine, and would differ between participants with and without ventilatory failure.

A New View of the Size-Mass Distribution of Galaxies: Using $r_{20}$ and $r_{80}$ instead of $r_{50}$ [PDF]
When investigating the sizes of galaxies it is standard practice to use the half-light radius, $r_{50}$. Here we explore the effects of the size definition on the distribution of galaxies in the size -- stellar mass plane.

Existence of Reissner-Nordstrom type black holes in f(R) gravity [PDF]
We investigate the existence of Reissner-Nordstr\"om (RN) type black holes in f(R) gravity. Our emphasis is to derive, in the presence of electrostatic source, the necessary conditions which provide such static, spherically symmetric (SSS) black holes ...

Extremal Black Hole/CFT Correspondence in (Gauged) Supergravities [PDF]
We extend the investigation of the recently proposed Kerr/CFT correspondence to large classes of rotating black hole solutions in gauged and ungauged supergravities.
