The additive theories of behavioral contrast state that contrast will occur only when two types of responses interact during multiple schedules. Three more specific versions of the theories may be defined according to how they distinguish these two types of responses. A strong version physically distinguishes them. A second version distinguishes them according to the theoretical processes which control them. A weak version distinguishes them on the basis of the environmental relations which control them. Only the weak version of the theories is currently testable. The weak theory should be tested by establishing each of the two environmental relations independently and then combining them to assess their effect on behavior. Because this test is not usually performed, many of the results which have been taken to support or contradict the additive theories are actually ambiguous.

Background: Health misinformation undermines responses to health crises, with social media amplifying the issue. Although organizations work to correct misinformation, challenges persist due to reasons such as the difficulty of effectively sharing corrections and information being overwhelming. At the same time, social media offers valuable interactive data, enabling researchers to analyze user engagement with health misinformation corrections and refine content design strategies.

As promising optoelectronic functional materials in the short-wavelength spectral region, such as ultraviolet (UV) and deep UV, phosphates have recently received increased attention. However, phosphate materials commonly suffer from limited birefringence owing to the highly symmetrical PO tetrahedra. We herein report a layered tin(II) phosphate with improved birefringence.

Synthesis of 2D quasi-hexagonal phase C (qHP C) has opened avenues for its application as a novel catalytic support. This study investigates the structure, stability, and anisotropic properties of Cu clusters anchored on the qHP C surface through density functional theory calculations. Our findings reveal that the Cu cluster preferentially occupies the intrinsic holes of the qHP C via one of its tetrahedral faces, resulting in enhanced stability and conductivity, with a significantly reduced band gap of 0.

We investigate the relative assembly map from the family of finite subgroups to the family of virtually cyclic subgroups for the algebraic -theory of twisted group rings of a group with coefficients in a regular ring or, more generally, with coefficients in a regular additive category. They are known to be isomorphisms rationally. We show that it suffices to invert only those primes for which contains a non-trivial finite -group and is not invertible in .

Background: Red Actinidia arguta has recently become highly popular because of its red appearance resulting from anthocyanin accumulation, and has gradually become an important breeding direction. However, regulators involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis have not been fully characterized in A. arguta.
