However, practical applications of Li-S batteries are severely restricted by not only intrinsic polysulfides shuttle resulting from their concentration gradient diffusion and sluggish conversion kinetics but also serious safety issue caused by thermolabile and combustible polymer separators.Herein, it is presented for the first time that a robust and multifunctional separator with urchin-like Co-doped Fe OOH microspheres and multiwalled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs) as an interlayer simultaneously achieves to suppress polysulfides shuttle as well as improves thermotolerance and nonflammability of commercial PP separator. Accordingly, Li-S batteries with modified separator exhibit remarkable performance in a wide range temperatures of-25–100 ℃. Typically, under 25 ℃, ultrahigh initial capacities of 1441 and 827.29 m A h g-1 at 1 C and 2 C are delivered, and remained capacities of 936 and 663.18 mA h g-1 can be obtained after 500 cycles, respectively. At 0.1 C, the S utilization can reach up to 97%. Significantly, at 1 C, the batteries also deliver an excellent performance with remained capacities of high to862.3, 608.4 and 420.6 m A h g-1 after 100, 300 and 450 cycles under 75, 0 and-25 ℃, respectively. This work provides a new insight for developing stable and safe high-performance Li-S batteries.展开更多

Whether Chinese-speaking people report Chinese words when listening to the illusion, or whether any reported words might be correlated with personality traits as previous investigations have demonstrated for listening to music in other cultures, is open to question. The present study aimed to address this. Methods A total of 308 right-handed, healthy volunteers （177 women and 131 men） were given the illusion test and asked to answer the Zuckerman-Kuhlman personality questionnaire （ZKPQ）. Their depressive tendency was measured by the Plutchik-van Praag depression inventory （PVP）. Results There was no gender effect regarding either the PVP score or the number of reported Chinese words from the illusion. Women scored higher on ZKPQ neuroticism-anxiety than men. The number of meaningful Chinese words reported was correlated with the ZKPQ impulsive sensation-seeking, aggression-hostility, and activity scores. Some words reported by participants who scored higher on these three traits were related in meaning to those scales. Conclusion Our preliminary results suggest that when Chinese-speaking people listen to the Deutsch ＂high-low＂ word illusion, they might use personality-related, specific cognitive schemata.展开更多

His plan backfires and things get out of hand when his parents arrive in the United States to plan his wedding banquet. Based on Hall's theory of high-context and low-context culture, this paper analyzes the cultural conflicts in the movie from six perspectives, and offers suggestions to the harmonious development of China and America. It is hoped that the paper can help readers get an in-depth comprehension of Hall's theory of high-context and low-context culture and discover some invisible conflicts between China and the West and finally raise people's consciousness of cultural conflicts and ways of handling the conflicts. With the advancement of globalization, intercultural communicative competence is becoming more and more important, and social communication between China and the West will become more relaxed and fruitful if people acquire more knowledge in intercultural communication.展开更多

Hereafter, more and more social scientists come to realize the importance of this concept on the thorough understanding of the crossculture discrepancy. This article compares the difference between Chinese(representative of high- context culture) and English(representative of low-context culture) in terms of verbal communication patterns. In addition to a discussion of students' common difficulties and inappropriate habits in writing resulting from their mother- tongue and Chinese thinking- mode, it offers some constructive suggestions for students concerning their instruction of writing and aims to achieve good results in the English writing test. It's proved that degradation treatment is necessary and effective in English-writing by using some direct, concrete and vivid words to achieve the effect of veracity and proper statement.展开更多
