Surface reconstruction on spinel oxides for oxygen evolution reaction by Luo, Songzhu

“…Notably, the findings differ from prior reports on Ni-based OER catalysts, highlighting that CP conditioning potentially fosters a superior degree of surface reconstruction, thereby augmenting performance. It is posited that divergent conditioning methods may trigger distinct surface reconstruction pathways, thus influencing catalytic performance. …”

The effect of biculturalism on executive functions by Xie, Wenhan

“…The likelihood of biculturalism was predicted by their ethnic language proficiency and bilingual status (Balanced vs. Unbalanced). To augment the self-report data in the first study, Study 2 integrates self-report questionnaire data on cultural and language behaviour with a priming experiment (cultural frame switching, adapted from Hong, Morris, Chiu,& Benet-Martinez,2000) to provide empirical evidence of bilingual Singaporean young adults ability to switch between cultural frames. 233 participants from Study 1 continued with this follow up study, and the results suggest that Singaporean young adults were not only bicultural but were also able to switch between different cultures when primed with Western and ethnic cultural primes. …”
