Example Sentences
- "No conclusive results are available yet; the hope is that the skyrmion would be stabilized at R#92;approx#92;lambda#95;c, where the gradient expansion breaks down and yet the skyrmion may still carry the quark quantum numbers."
- "The properties of nuclear matter at high densities have been investigated in many ways.
