This study uses event history analysis to explore the relationship between women?s employment and motherhood entry in the socioeconomic and institutional context of South Korea. Data used for analysis come from waves 1 to 10 of the Korea Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS) collected between...

Purpose – Since monetary policy has great economic impacts, before the policy implementation, careful simulation combined with real economy movement condition can predict the policy implementation effect and reduce the cost of monetary policy implementation effectively. The paper aims to...

In many case-control studies, a central goal is to test for association or dependence between the predictors and the response. Relevant covariates must be conditioned on to avoid false positives and loss in power. Conditioning on covariates is easy in parametric frameworks such as the logistic...

The U.S. is the world's leading consumer of primary energy. A large fraction of this energy is used in boiler installations to generate steam and hot water for heating applications. It is estimated there are total 163,000 industrial and commercial boilers in use in the United States of all sizes.

MePCMs (microencapsulated phase change materials) with covalently bonded SiO2/polymer hybrid as shell were fabricated via Pickering emulsion polymerization stabilized solely by organically-modified SiO2 particles. Morphology and core–shell structure of these microcapsules were observed by...

This paper presents a new method for quantifying vulnerability to natural hazards in China. As an important area of vulnerability research, quantitative assessment of vulnerability has raised much focus in academia. Presently, scholars have proposed a variety of methods for quantitative...

Cr/SmCo5/Cr films were fabricated by a DC facing targets magnetron sputtering. The influences of sputtered Ar pressure and substrate temperature on their microstructure and magnetic properties were investigated. Magnetic measurements indicate that the optimal substrate temperature was 450°C,...
