Long Term Consequences of Natural Resource Booms for Human Capital Accumulation [PDF]
Tight labour markets driven by resource booms could increase the opportunity cost of schooling and crowd out human capital formation. For oil producing economies like the Province of Alberta, the OPEC oil shocks of 1973 to 1981 may have had an adverse ...

Experimental Joint Estimation of Phase and Phase Diffusion Via Deterministic Bell Measurements
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work employs Bell measurement, a form of entangling measurement, to estimate both the phase and its fluctuations in an optical interferometer. By incorporating a novel quantum effect at the measurement stage, the proposed method achieves the ultimate precision limit and demonstrates the significant potential of entangling measurements in multi ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A CoCrFeNiTa0.4 eutectic high‐entropy alloy achieves a near‐theoretical yield strength of 2.6 GPa with 13.6% plasticity. This breakthrough stems from a hierarchical nanostructure (FCC‐Laves lamellae with L12/D022 precipitates), which alleviates the inter‐phase modulus/hardness mismatch through synergistic strengthening and toughening, guiding the ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by the regulation mechanism of window blinds, this study designs an electromagnetic wave‐absorbing metamaterial. By introducing the magneto‐electric coupling concept and integrating it with an artificial intelligence‐based data‐driven collaborative optimization strategy, the material optimizes impedance matching performance and enhances loss ...

Intermarriage and the intergenerational transmission of ethnic identity and human capital for Mexican Americans [PDF]
, 2009 Using microdata from the 2000 U.S. Census and from recent years of the Current Population Survey (CPS), we investigate whether selective intermarriage and endogenous ethnic identification interact to hide some of the intergenerational progress achieved ...

Advanced 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 ...

"No, it just didn't work": a teacher's reflections on all-attainment teaching [PDF]
, 2017 Setting - the practice by which learners are allocated to different classes on the basis of perceived ability - is a social justice issue. Despite overwhelming evidence that, overall, setting is educationally harmful and in discriminatory ways, the ...
