We report a combined high-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, ion scattering spectroscopy, and photoelectron spectroscopy study of bare lanthanum aluminate LaAlO3 LAO and of the initial stages of anatase TiO2 growth on LAO 001 . LAO 001 exhibits mixed La–O and Al–O2 surface terminations at 400 °C. Heteroepitaxial TiO2, grown by evaporating Ti metal in O2, nucleates near step edges, growi...

Method. Data were obtained from observations during visits to four Lao schools and from interviews with fourteen teachers at these schools. The schools visited were an urban primary schoo...

A left anterior oblique image (LAO) and the geometric mean of anterior and posterior counts have both been proposed as methods for acquiring gastric emptying data. Both approaches are used to correct for the changes in attenuation that occur as the depth of radiolabeled solids changes during gastric emptying. These two methods were compared by using a power exponential curve fit to calculate a ...

PURPOSE The Lee Jong-Wook Seoul Project, which began in 2011, is a training program that aims to educate faculty members of Lao University of Health Sciences in medical knowledge and skills.
