The acquisition of English and Mandarin by a Singaporean child in a trilingual home by Teo, Jennifer Lay Heong.

“…Results indicate that: (1)the absence of tense and number markers in the English data was due to the variety of Singapore Colloquial English the child was exposed to in his environment; (2)the use of pragmatic particles and the lack of clear developmental pattern in the English interrogatives were linked to the Singapore Colloquial English usage in the input; (3)the English-language acquisition pattern shows a similar pattern as those in other comparable studies done in Singapore; (4)the order of the grammatical morphemes in the Mandarin data follows the similar pattern as other monolingual children reported on; (5)code-switching and code-mixing were directly affected by social factors: interlocutor, norm of the speech situation and his language dominance; (6)code-switching also occurs for many reasons related to language use; and (7)the child language development has been affected by the varying amount of input. …”

The thermodynamics of multicomponent high-entropy materials by Cantor, B

“…In fact, there are literally billions of multicomponent high-entropy single-phase solid-solution materials, with a wide range of exciting new properties, in most cases relatively straightforward to manufacture by conventional processing methods. There seems, however, to be an upper limit to these effects, so that, beyond about ten or twelve alloying components, the inevitable increase in chemical diversity prevents the configurational entropy of mixing from suppressing the increasingly strong chemical reactions between them. …”
