The impact of inhibitory control and working memory capacity on verbal-humor processing: an ERP investigation

Abstract Verbal-humor processing is a sophisticated cognitive-emotional task. While domain-general executive functions like inhibitory control (IC) and working memory capacity (WMC) are known to influence language comprehension, their specific, stage-dependent contributions to th...

Multi-Analytical Characterization of the Earthen Plaster and Ground Layer from the Nirvana Platform in Cave No. 47 of the Kizil Grottoes, Xinjiang, China

The Nirvana platform in Cave No. 47 of the Kizil Grottoes preserves an important example of early Buddhist earthen plaster and ground layer manufacture along the Silk Roads. This study investigated the material composition and stratigraphic sequence of its earthen plaster and gro...

The provenance of cobalt in glass from the Warring States to the Qin and Han periods excavated in China and the remelting of soda-lime glass in lead-barium glass

To investigate cobalt provenance in early Chinese glass, this study statistically analyses published compositional data for cobalt-blue and comparative glass samples, focusing on finds from China dating from the Warring States to the Han period and incorporating selected comparat...

Multi-analytical investigation on materials and techniques of wall paintings in Kizil Giant Buddha Cave

This study investigates the wall paintings in Cave No. 47 of the Kizil Grottoes, the earliest surviving Giant Buddha cave. p-XRF, SEM-EDX, XRD, and micro-Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the painting materials, stratigraphy, and alteration products. Three plaster and...

Explicit depth representation improves the 3D modelling of soil carbon to nitrogen ratio in croplands

The soil carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (C:N ratio) is a fundamental indicator of organic matter quality and nutrient cycling, yet its three-dimensional (3D) variability in croplands remains poorly understood. Accurate mapping of the C:N ratio is essential for evaluating sustainable ag...

The Transmission Properties and Dynamical Characterization Driven by the Flat Bands in a Non‐Hermitian Dimerized Lattice

ABSTRACT A method of Fourier transform engineering is demonstrated to constructing flat bands in a two‐band model. By introducing a momentum‐dependent pseudo‐‐symmetry potential into a generalized Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model, we generate two momentum‐independent flat bands. The co...
