Phase diagram of superconducting vortex ratchet motion in a superlattice with noncentrosymmetry by Li, Shengyao, Zhang, Lijuan, Huang, Ke, Ye, Chen, Xing, Tingjing, Yang, Liu, Yang, Zherui, Qiang Zhu, Sun, Bo, Wang, Xueyan, Wang, Renshaw Xiao

“…Furthermore, we extrapolated a giant nonreciprocal coefficient ({\gamma}), which quantitatively describes the magnitude of the vortex ratchet motion, and eventually established phase diagrams of the ratchet motion of the vortices with a quantitative description. Last, we propose that the ratchet motion originates from the coexistence of pancake vortices (PVs) and Josephson vortices (JVs). …”

Effects of multilingualism on brain structure, cognition and language processing by Yee, Jia’en

“…While bilingualism research has shown evidence of PA transfer across languages of different opacity, it is unclear if additionally taxing on phonological awareness through more opaque literacy experiences in multilinguals would bring about enhancements in this language processing function. Thus, in the last study, three groups of subjects who differed in their exposure to opaque orthographies were assessed on English rhyme judgements. …”
