Mandarin–English bilinguals were presented with a word, and then a picture, and decided if they matched. Both behavioural and ERP data were collected. In one session, words were in English and in another they were the Mandarin translations. Critical pictures matched the prior word and were either biased to Chinese or Canadian culture. There was an interaction of test language and picture type in RT and errors in the behavioural data, and in five components in the ERP data, indicating that the task was easier when the culture depicted in the picture was congruent with the language of the preceding word. These findings provide evidence that the specific perceptual experiences that bilinguals encounter when learning words in each language have an impact on the semantic features that are activated by those words.

Non-precious metal catalysts are needed for the commercialization of microbial fuel cells (MFCs).... more Non-precious metal catalysts are needed for the commercialization of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Therefore, in this work, we synthesized the cost-effective LaCoO 3 , LaMnO 3 , and LaCo 0.5 Mn 0.5 O 3 perovskite-type oxide nanoparticles, as cathode catalysts, and replaced them by the platinum (Pt) cathode. The high electro-catalytic efficiency of the perovskite catalysts was determined by the linear sweep voltammetry, Tafel plot and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses. The maximum power density obtained by the LaMnO 3 was determined to be higher than 13.91 mW m −2 , which is more than twice as high as that obtained by the carbon cloth cathode under identical conditions. Also, the maximum power density of MFC with the modified electrodes was more than twice as high as that of the pristine cathode and 5.2% lower than Pt. Therefore, the prepared perovskite-type oxide nanoparticles can be used as efficient catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in a two-chamber MFCs.
