TL;DR: In this article, Turolla et al. presented the history of magnetars and travel through the main observational facts, trying to touch some recent and sometimes little-discussed ramifications.
Abstract: We currently know about 30 magnetars: seemingly isolated neutron stars whose properties can be (in part) comprehended only acknowledging that they are endowed with magnetic fields of complex morphology and exceptional intensity-at least in some components of the field structure. Although magnetars represent only a small percentage of the known isolated neutron stars, there are almost certainly many more of them, since most magnetars were discovered in transitory phases called outbursts, during which they are particularly noticeable. In outburst, in fact, a magnetar can be brighter in X-rays by orders of magnitude and usually emit powerful bursts of hard-X/soft-gamma-ray photons that can be detected almost everywhere in the Galaxy with all-sky monitors such as those on board the Fermi satellite or the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. Magnetars command great attention because the large progress that has been made in their understanding is proving fundamental to fathom the whole population of isolated neutron stars, and because, due to their extreme properties, they are relevant for a vast range of different astrophysical topics, from the study of gamma-ray bursts and superluminous supernovae, to ultraluminous X-ray sources, fast radio bursts, and even to sources of gravitational waves. Several excellent reviews with different focuses were published on magnetars in the last few years: among others, Israel and Dall'Osso (2011); Rea and Esposito (2011); Turolla and Esposito (2013); Mereghetti et al. (2015); Turolla et al. (2015); Kaspi and Beloborodov (2017). Here, we quickly recall the history of these sources and travel through the main observational facts, trying to touch some recent and sometimes little-discussed ramifications of magnetars.

TL;DR: Results indicated that language training, alone or in combination with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), improves oral naming accuracy for trained items in patients with PPA, with a long-term maintenance of the gain over time.

TL;DR: The maturity of such markers is not yet sufficient and requires future investigation to promote the proper use of memory measures in clinical settings, and no definite guideline for their use can be proposed at the moment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors look retrospectively at the results that the history friendly literature has achieved so far and what are the challenges ahead of us, and illustrate the main principles, methods, and building blocks of the approach through two applications.
Abstract: Twenty years ago, we introduced the history friendly modeling approach to formally study industrial dynamics. In this paper, we look retrospectively at the results that the history friendly literature has achieved so far and what are the challenges ahead of us. We present the main principles, methods, and building blocks of the approach, and then we illustrate it through two applications. The first one investigates the impact of entry in the mainframes segment of the computer industry. The second application studies the effect of different industrial policies in uncertain technological environments.
