Magnetars: Time Evolution, Superfluid Properties, and Mechanism of Magnetic Field Decay [PDF]
Astrophys.J. 608 (2004) L49-L52, 2004 We calculate the coupled thermal evolution and magnetic field decay in relativistic model neutron stars threaded by superstrong magnetic fields (B > 10^{15} G). Our main goal is to evaluate how such ``magnetars'' evolve with time and how field decay modifies the transitions to core superfluidity and cooling dominated by surface X-ray emission ...

Evolution in complex systems [PDF]
Complexity Vol. 10, p. 49 (2004), 2004 What features characterise complex system dynamics? Power laws and scale invariance of fluctuations are often taken as the hallmarks of complexity, drawing on analogies with equilibrium critical phenomena[1-3]. Here we argue that slow, directed dynamics, during which the system's properties change significantly, is fundamental.

The Dystonia Coalition: A Multicenter Network for Clinical and Translational Studies
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal postures, repetitive movements, or both. Research in dystonia has been challenged by several factors. First, dystonia is uncommon. Dystonia is

Long-term statistics of pulsar glitches due to history-dependent avalanches [PDF]
, 2021 Stress accumulation-relaxation meta-models of pulsar glitches make precise, microphysics-agnostic predictions of long-term glitch statistics, which can be falsified by existing and future timing data. Previous meta-models assume that glitches are triggered by an avalanche process, e.g.

Female predominance in spasmodic dysphonia [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1997 We were interested to see the sex prevalence results in the recent review of focal dystonia by Soland et al .1 They found that of 956 patients with dystonia, 558 (58.4%) were female, for a ratio of 1.4:1. All but the cases of writer’s cramp had more females than males. In their spasmodic dysphonia group the ratio was 2.6:1 female:male (n=36).

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022 Background The globus pallidus internus is the main target for the treatment of dystonia by deep brain stimulation. Unfortunately, for some genetic etiologies, the therapeutic outcome of dystonia is less predictable.

Tardive Dystonia: Clinical Spectrum and Novel Manifestations
Behavioural Neurology, 1988 Tardive dystonia was identified in 25 patients: involvement of the face and neck was most common; truncal and limb dystonia were also observed. There were 3 cases of laryngospasm and 2 of spasmodic dysphonia.
