The effect of biculturalism on executive functions by Xie, Wenhan

“…Much debate in the field of bilingualism has centred around a bilingual’s advantage in Executive Functions (For a recent review, see Lehtonen et al., 2018). In light of recent conflicting evidence regarding the premise of a bilingual advantage, scholars have begun to scrutinize possible variables and confounds arising from differences in the broader social and interactional environment (de Bruin, 2019). …”

Light-matter interactions in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides by Zhao, Jiaxin

“…Following the carrier relaxation in the systems, the slow recovery process lasts for several tens of ps. By coherently superimposing monolayer exciton and cavity photons, when the system is in the strong coupling regime, the formation of exciton polaritons potentially harnesses the valley-polarized polariton-polariton interactions for novel valleytronic devices. …”
