Will Monkeys Wager Differently as a Function of Stimulus Fluency or When Making Immediate Versus Delayed Judgments of Memory? by Michael J. Beran, Kathleen Friedlein

“…Although low fluency stimuli were remembered at lower levels, the monkeys showed no evidence of adjusting wagering behavior as a function of stimulus type. Thus, the present experiment showed no evidence that monkeys benefitted from delay of judgments of memory and no evidence of stimulus fluency affecting their confidence as measured by their wagering. …”

A scalable exfoliating approach to achieve high-quality shell nanosheets with large lateral size and surface functionalization by Yuansen Liu, Qi Wu, Xinqing Zheng, Min Nie

“…In this study, a facile ball-milling exfoliation method with the assistance of polyethyleneimine (PEI) to exfoliate shell materials into high-quality shell nanosheets (SNs) is present. In this case, PEI macromolecular had dual function: it not only acted as a buffer between milling balls and WSP to prevent excessive breaking of the WSP, but also interacted with active bonds on the surface to functionalize the SNs. …”
