Three experiments measured spatio-temporal contrast sensitivity, coherent motion, and visible persistence in a single group of children with developmental dyslexia and a matched control group. The findings were consistent with a transient channel disorder in the dyslexic group which showed a reduction in contrast sensitivity at low spatial frequencies, a significant reduction in sensitivity for...

We investigate the ground-state phase diagram of spinless Haldane-Hubbard model in presence quenched disorder, contrasting results obtained from both exact diagonalization as well density matrix renormalization group, applied to a honeycomb cylinder. The interplay interactions and topology gives rise rich diagram, particular highlights possibility disorder-driven trivial-to-topological transiti...

OBJECTIVE The authors compared the efficacy and safety of aripiprazole, a novel antipsychotic, to placebo for treatment of patients in an acute manic or mixed episode of bipolar disorder. METHOD This 3-week, multicenter, double-blind study randomly assigned 262 bipolar disorder patients in an acute manic or mixed episode to aripiprazole, 30 mg/day (reduced to 15 mg/day if needed for tolerabil...
