Abstract With few exceptions, modern psychometric concepts and methods are not part of the “standard” toolkit used to analyze linguistic data. Data from Kam (or Dong), an under-studied language of China with a very complex tone system, is used to illustrate how a psychometric approach can help investigate inter-individual differences in the perception of tone contrasts in an AX task, and the factors that may influence them, including working memory, age, gender, and years of formal education.

Bismuth-based two-dimensional nanomaterials for cancer diagnosis and treatment The intrinsic high X-ray attenuation and insignificant biological toxicity of Bi-based nanomaterial make it a category of advanced material in oncology. Among them, Bi-based two-dimensional nanomaterials gain a rapid development in cancer diagnosis and treatment owing to their adjustable bandgap structure, high specific surface area and strong NIR absorption.
