CRYSTAL is a general-purpose program for the study of crystalline solids, and the first which
has been distributed publicly. The first version was released in 1988 and then five next …

First-principles calculations of the crystal structures, bulk moduli, and relative stabilities of
seven known and hypothetical TiO 2 polymorphs (anatase, rutile, columbite, baddeleyite, …

The ground-state electronic structure of NiO and MnO has been calculated within the Hartree-Fock
approximation using local Gaussian basis sets. For both, a qualitatively correct ground…

There is currently much interest in the role of mediators that regulate cell proliferation. Methods
to assay proliferative effects of such mediators usually involve cell counting techniques, …

A new model of Li intercalation into rutile and anatase structured titania has been developed
from first principles calculations. The model includes both thermodynamic and kinetic …

Prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ) inhibits fibroblast proliferation and collagen production. Its synthesis
by fibroblasts is induced by profibrotic mediators including transforming growth factor (…

Focused electron beam irradiation has been used to create mono and divacancies in graphene
within a defined area, which then act as trap sites for mobile Fe atoms initially resident …

Graphene has remarkable electronic properties, such as ballistic transport and quantum
Hall effects 1 , 2 , 3 , and has also been used as a support for samples in high-resolution …

Most studies of lung histology in systemic sclerosis have been based on autopsy specimens
and consequently emphasize end-stage fibrotic disease. Although occasional pathologic …

Little is known about the pathogenesis of cough in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We
hypothesized that abnormalities of respiratory tract tachykinin-containing sensory nerves may …
