The role of executive function in cognitive reappraisal: a meta-analytic review by Toh, Wei Xing, Keh, Jun Sheng, Gross, James J., Carstensen, Laura L.

“…While the way reappraisal was measured did not moderate any of the relations between EF and reappraisal, we found stronger relations between inhibition and reappraisal when EF was assessed using tasks that involved affective, relative to nonaffective, stimuli. Our meta-analytic findings offer modest support for the idea that EFs are cognitive constituents of reappraisal processes.…”

Bacteriological studies at Kranji catchment by Koo, Zhi Han.

“…It was also observed that agriculture type of land use of 773, 988 CFU per 100 ml has higher E. coli median concentrations as compared to STP type of land use of 2, 200 CFU per 100 ml when the expected result was STP type of land use to have the highest bacterial concentration among the four main types of land use. The findings from this study help in establishing appropriate measure to control the bacterial concentration within the urban area thus solving the pollution caused by urban runoff.…”
