Reactivating and reorganizing activity-silent working memory: two distinct mechanisms underlying pinging the brain by Yang, C, He, X, Cai, Y

“…Recent studies have proposed that visual information in working memory (WM) can be maintained in an activity-silent state and reactivated by task-irrelevant high-contrast visual impulses (“ping”). Although pinging the brain has become a popular tool for exploring activity-silent WM, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. …”

Unravelling the complex meanings and origins of zisha teapots in the Ming and Qing dynasties by Gao, X

“…The unglazed teapots, made from <em>zisha</em> clay using a slabbuilding technique, have been appreciated by tea consumers since the Late Ming dynasty onwards. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, including ethnographic research, archaeological science, historical analysis, the concept of <em>chaîne opératoire</em>, and experimental archaeology, to examine various data sources and gain a comprehensive understanding of the origins and development of <em>zisha</em> teapots.…”

Regulation and function of innate-like T cells by Hagel, JP

“…It is expressed by NK- and T-cell subsets, particularly by innate-like T cells such as MAIT and γδT cells. CD161-expressing T-cell subsets share a transcriptional and functional phenotype, including the ability to be activated by cytokines in a T-cell receptor-independent manner, similar to NK cells. …”

CSS-like constructions of asymmetric quantum codes by Ezerman, Martianus Frederic, Jitman, Somphong, Ling, San, Pasechnik, Dmitrii V.

“…After establishing some theoretical foundations, best-performing CSS-like AQCs are constructed. Combining some constructions of nested pairs of classical codes and linear programming, many optimal and good pure q-ary CSS-like codes for q ∈ {2,3,4,5,7,8,9} up to reasonable lengths are found. …”

Part I: Synthesis of sex pheromone of the pine sawfly, Macrodiprion Nemoralis. Part II: Synthetic studies towards the total synthesis of iriomoteolide-1a by Chin, Yen Jin

“…In the first part of this thesis, an elegant display of the CuI-Tol-BINAP-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition is established in the total synthesis of sex pheromone of the pine sawfly, Macrodiprion Nemoralis (SRRS-1). The key features of our strategy are: (I) one-pot DIBAL-H reduction–Wittig olefination, (II) olefin cross metathesis of fragment A and fragment B, and (III) a CuI-Tol-BINAP-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition using Grignard reagents in good yields and excellent stereoselectivities. …”
