In recent years, scientists have begun to use magic effects to investigate the blind spots in our attention and perception [G. Kuhn, Experiencing the Impossible: The Science of Magic (2019); S. Macknik, S. Martinez-Conde, S....
Delay of gratification-a form of self-control-is the ability to forsake immediately available rewards in order to obtain larger-valued outcomes in future, which develops throughout the pre-school years. The majority of previous...
Searches for $CP$ violation in the two-body decays $D_{(s)}^{+}\rightarrow
h^{+}\pi^{0}$ and $D_{(s)}^{+} \rightarrow h^{+}\eta$ (where $h^{+}$ denotes a
$\pi^{+}$ or $K^{+}$ meson) are performed using $pp$ collision data...
The first untagged decay-time-integrated amplitude analysis of $B^{0}_{s}
\rightarrow K^{0}_{\textrm{S}} K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ decays is performed using a
sample corresponding to $3.0\,$fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded...
A Dalitz plot analysis of B 0 → η c ( 1 S ) K + π - decays is performed using data samples of pp collisions collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of s = 7 , 8 and 13 Te V , corresponding to a...
What do cognitive illusions reveal about the psychology of the human mind? In this book Gustav Kuhn explores the psychological processes and cognitive road blocks that contribute to the wonderment and entertainment value of...
In this paper we highlight seven myths about memory, which centre around the fact that memories, as we experience them, are not only about the past, they are also prospective. Although episodic memory provides the template for...
R-2-hydroxyglutarate accumulates to millimolar levels in cancer cells with gain-of-function isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 mutations. These levels of R-2-hydroxyglutarate affect 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases. Both...
A comprehensive Raman resonance scattering study of ZnSxSe1-x (ZnSSe) solid solutions over the whole compositional range (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) has been made using 325 and 455 nm excitation wavelengths. The Raman scattering intensities of...
Western scrub-jays (Aphelocoma californica) live double lives, storing food for the future while raiding the stores of other birds. One tactic scrub-jays employ to protect stores is "re-caching"-relocating caches out of sight of...
Abstract: The cross-sections of ψ(2S) meson production in proton-proton collisions at s=13TeV are measured with a data sample collected by the LHCb detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 275pb-1. The production...
The process of domestication has arguably provided dogs (Canis familiaris) with decreased emotional reactivity (reduced fear and aggression) and increased socio-cognitive skills adaptive for living with humans. It has been...
