A comparison of assessment tools for childcare centers in high vs. low resource settings

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health
Studies suggest issues may arise when using childcare setting assessment tools designed for high-resource settings in low-resource settings to assess and improve the quality of care, including placing disproportionate weight on features of the childcare ...

Mortality Inequality [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Economic Perspectives, 2009
The paper describes how changes in the inequality of lifetimes have contributed to changes in the social distribution of welfare. I address the following questions: How can we measure inequality of lifetimes? How has this kind of inequality changed over time? How is this inequality related to increased longevity?

Neural Network‐Based Permittivity Engineering of Magnetic Absorbers for Customizable Microwave Absorption

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A neural network‐enabled permittivity engineering paradigm is introduced, transcending traditional trial‐and‐error design. By decoupling electromagnetic parameters and screening a high‐throughput feature space, an ultrathin (1.0 mm) magnetic absorber is inversely designed, experimentally achieving a superior and customizable 5.1 GHz bandwidth and ...

Study of Resistive Switching Dynamics and Memory States Equilibria in Analog Filamentary Conductive‐Metal‐Oxide/HfOx ReRAM via Compact Modeling

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A physics‐based compact model for Conductive‐Metal‐Oxide/HfOx ReRAM, accounting for ion dynamics, electronic conduction, and thermal effects, is presented. Accurate and versatile simulations of analog non‐volatile conductance modulation and memory state stabilization enable reliable circuit‐level studies, advancing the optimization of neuromorphic and ...

The Financial Status and Local Credit Market Conditions of U.S. Farms Engaged in Multiple Borrowing

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural producers often borrow from multiple lenders, raising concerns about credit risk and monitoring. We construct detailed farm‐level measures of how debt is distributed across lenders and examine how farm financial status and the physical presence of local lenders are linked to this practice.
