Long-time behaviour of sphalerons in ϕ 4 models with a false vacuum

Abstract Evolution of sphalerons in a class of quartic Klein–Gordon models are studied under a growing perturbation. Sphalerons are unstable lump-like solutions that arise from a saddle point between true and false vacua in the energy functional. Numerical simulations are present...

Can you run from your worries? The effects of exercise on anxiety-like behaviour and immune signaling in female and male mice

ABSTRACT Exercise is a positive health behaviour associated with improved mood. However, the mechanisms underlying the benefits of exercise on affective health are unclear, particularly with respect to type of exercise and sex. Chronic exercise decreases neuroinflammation, which...

Prevalence and Characteristics of Long-Stay Forensic Patients With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: An Ontario Population-Based Study: Prévalence et caractéristiques des patients hospitalisés pour de longs séjours dans un service médico-légal et présentant des déficiences intellectuelles et développementales : Une étude fondée sur la population de l’Ontario

Objectives This study examined the point prevalence of patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) in Ontario forensic inpatient units and compared the demographic, clinical, and system-level profiles of long-stay forensic patients with and without IDD. Metho...

Sympathetic action potential synchronicity and blood pressure regulation in healthy young adults

This study investigated sympathetic neural blood pressure regulation in humans by quantifying synchronous and asynchronous action potential (AP) discharge. Muscle sympathetic AP discharge was measured (microneurography; continuous wavelet transform) in twenty-one healthy young ad...
