Contextuality is a hallmark feature of the quantum theory that captures its incompatibility with any noncontextual hidden-variable model. The Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ)-type paradoxes are proofs of contextuality that reveal this incompatibility with deterministic logical arguments. However, the GHZ-type paradox whose events can be included in the fewest contexts and that brings the strongest nonclassicality remains elusive.

Wave-absorbing honeycombs have garnered widespread attention due to their high-efficiency absorption, ultra-wideband absorption, lightweight nature, and high load-carrying capacity. However, as electromagnetic radiation power increases, the temperature of the absorbing honeycomb increases rapidly, even leading to burning. Therefore, it is significant to possess an efficient and accurate assessment of the thermal effects of absorbing honeycombs under electromagnetic radiation.

This study optimizes the CuO/GaO heterojunction diodes (HJDs) by tailoring the structural parameters of CuO layers. The hole concentration in the sputtered CuO was precisely controlled by adjusting the Ar/O gas ratio. Experimental investigations and TCAD simulations were employed to systematically evaluate the impact of the CuO layer dimension and hole concentration on the electrical performance of HJDs.

-functionalization of pillar[]arenes has been a formidable challenge, partially due to the fragility of their macrocyclic skeletons. In this concise report, we describe a facile synthetic method for monoarylation/alkylation at the position to the oxime functionality in pillar[4]arene[1]benzoquinone monoxime () via addition of Grignard reagents. The described method enables the creation of various mono--alkyl/aryl-substituted pillar[5]arene derivatives that were previously inaccessible.

Objective: In order to determine whether intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) is a viable adjunct treatment for schizophrenia, a meta-analysis of double-blind, randomized clinical trials (RCTs) was performed.

Methods: Four independent researchers extracted and synthesized data from RCTs on adjunctive iTBS for patients suffering from schizophrenia. RevMan 5.
