Technology of Slip Affecting Carbon Smudging Depth in Prehistoric Chinese Black Pottery
Carbon smudging and black coating are two main coloration techniques of black pottery, yet the combination of slip and carbon smudging remains unstudied. This research is the first to reveal this black pottery technological process and the mechanism by which slip affects carbon smudging depth. Scientific analyses and simulation experiments were conducted on samples from several archaeological sites in prehistoric China. The results show that unfi…
Cultivating Critical Thinking in College English Teaching
This study examined the association between task-based language instruction and critical thinking development among tertiary English language learners through systematic analysis of scholarly writing. Using the University of Pittsburgh English Language Institute Corpus (PELIC), we analyzed 3,500 essays from 1,000 international students across five proficiency levels (2015–2020). Critical thinking was operationalized through argumentation complexi…
Reassembling the grassland
This dissertation examines pastoral modernization in Honggergaole Town, Inner Mongolia, through the lens of Actor-Network Theory (ANT). Drawing on three years of ethnographic fieldwork, it reframes modernization not as a unilinear human project but as a dynamic assemblage co-constituted by heterogeneous actors—herders, state policies, fences, precipitation patterns, cattle breeds, and mechanical equipment. Employing a symmetry principle, the stud…
Assessing the environmental governance impact of China's ecological civilization demonstration zones policy
Scientific research on white potteries from the Nanzuo site in Qingyang, Gansu province
Located in Qingyang, Gansu province, China, the Nanzuo site on the Loess Plateau is a large‐scale, high‐ranking central settlement of the late Yangshao period with capital city characteristics. We used a thermal dilatometer, energy‐dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (EDXRF), optical microscope, scanning electron microscopy with energy‐dispersive spectroscopy (SEM‐EDS), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectrometer to analyse the firing temperature, c…
The impact of China’s high-standard farmland construction plan on low-carbon development in agriculture
The high-input, high-output agricultural production model has intensified ecological pressure on agriculture, posing a significant threat to environmental sustainability. Among these issues, agricultural carbon emissions have also garnered widespread attention. Based on panel data from 31 provinces from 2004 to 2022, this study examines the impact, mechanisms, and heterogeneity of a large-scale agricultural infrastructure investment project in Ch…

Infant and young child feeding practices as mediators in the relationship between early temperament and children's eating behaviors
Sequential mediation of early temperament and eating behaviors in the pathways from feeding practices to childhood overweight and obesity
Introduction Childhood eating behaviors and temperament may have important implication for constructing the pathways from maternal feeding practices to childhood overweight and obesity (OW/OB). Examining multiple feeding styles simultaneously to childhood OW/OB is critical through the mediators of early childhood temperament and eating behaviors. Methods This cross-sectional study recruited mothers mainly responsible for child care from two hospi…
Design a safe firefighting time (SFT) for major fire disaster emergency response
A major fire disaster is hazardous to both occupants trapped in the built environment and firefighters during the firefighting operation. Though various construction codes, technologies, and facilities have enhanced occupants’ evacuation in fire, insufficient effort is made to ensure a safe firefighting and rescue environment for firefighters, and their safety is not effectively guaranteed in the process of firefighting. To fill this gap, this wo…
The pathways from disadvantaged socioeconomic status in childhood to edentulism in mid-to-late adulthood over the life-course
This study revealed that childhood health, adult health and adult SES are mediators that explain the relationship between childhood SES and edentulism. The global attention to alleviate the inequality in edentulism should focus on exploring recommendations and intervention strategies from childhood to adulthood, by considering adult SES, childhood and adult health
Spatial–Temporal Correlations between Soil pH and NPP of Grassland Ecosystems in the Yellow River Source Area, China
In recent years, ecological concerns such as vegetation destruction, permafrost deterioration, and river drying have been paid much more attention to on the Yellow River Basin in China. Soil pH is regarded to be the fundamental variable among soil properties for vegetation growth, while net primary productivity (NPP) is also an essential indicator to reflect the healthy growth of vegetation. Due to the limitation of on-site samples, the spatial−t…
Investigating Rural Domestic Waste Sorting Intentions Based on an Integrative Framework of Planned Behavior Theory and Normative Activation Models
The sorting of domestic waste is the most effective way to alleviate the problem of mass garbage accumulation around the villages of rural China. Farmers are the creators of rural domestic waste as well as the direct beneficiaries of effective waste management. However, few studies have been conducted on the psychological determinants of farmers' intentions to sort domestic waste. This paper applies planned behavior theory (TPB) and normative act…
Cultural Influences on Complementary Feeding Beliefs amongst New Chinese Immigrant Mothers in England
Adequate nutrition during infancy and early childhood is essential for ensuring the growth, health, and development of children so that they can reach their full potential. There is a current void of data on infant and young child feeding practices (IYCF) in ethnic minority communities in the UK; specifically, it is difficult to find accurate Chinese IYCF data in the UK because survey data often includes Chinese in the category of 'Chinese or oth…
Impact of Environmental Regulation on Scientific and Technological Competitiveness of Resource-Based Cities in China—Based on Panel Data of 33 Resource-Based Cities
After the economy enters a "new normal" era in China, resource-based cities are under pressure in terms of transformation, upgrading and sustainable development. This paper uses the panel data of 33 resource-based cities from 2008 to 2018 to empirically analyze the impact of environmental regulation and innovation compensation on scientific and technological competitiveness. The results show that there is a positive U-shaped relation between envi…

The Association of Acculturation and Complementary Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices Among New Chinese Immigrant Mothers in England
Acculturation has an influence on mothers' beliefs and the perceived behaviours of different ethnicities. Few studies have been conducted on complementary infant and young child feeding practices (CIYCFP) in minorities in England, particularly in Chinese immigrants. This mixed study aims to explore the association of acculturation and IYCF among new Chinese immigrant mothers using purposive snowball sampling from an informal Chinese community. Th…
