We present a self-contained review of the theory of dislocation-mediated quantum melting
at zero temperature in two spatial dimensions. The theory describes the liquid-crystalline …

BACKGROUND: Mental disorders are highly prevalent and are associated with substantial
disease burden, but their economic costs have been relatively less well researched. Moreover…

OBJECTIVE: To examine the factors associated with the persistence of childhood gender
dysphoria (GD), and to assess the feelings of GD, body image, and sexual orientation in …

Diabet. Med. 27, 217–224 (2010) Abstract Aims Depression is common in diabetes, but the
scope of the problem and associated correlates are not well established in specialist …

We study theoretically the dynamics of magnons in the presence of a single skyrmion in
chiral magnets featuring Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. We show by micromagnetic …

Excessive airway narrowing is a cardinal feature of asthma, and results in closure of airways.
Therefore, asthmatic patients in whom airway closure occurs relatively early during …

Precise control of magnetic domain walls continues to be a central topic in the field of spintronics
to boost infotech, logic, and memory applications. One way is to drive the domain wall …

Objective To study the prevalence and risk factors of depressive symptoms, comparing subjects
with normal glucose metabolism (NGM), impaired glucose metabolism (IGM) or Type 2 …

Sedentary behaviour and lack of physical activity threatens health. Research concerning
these behaviours of inpatients with severe mental illness is limited but urgently needed to …

The dislocation-mediated quantum melting of solids into quantum liquid crystals is extended
from two to three spatial dimensions, using a generalization of boson-vortex or Abelian-…
