This paper analyses the effect of family size on children’s educational attainment using a new research design that combines fixed effects and instrumental variable (IV) approaches. We use (a) data on first cousins who belong to the same extended family but to different nuclear families to control for extended family fixed effects and (b) variation in in-married spouses’ number of siblings (a prox

The received wisdom has long been that people in Europe reacted with great enthusiasm as war was approaching in August, 1914. However, scholars who have investigated the matter have found little evidence of enthusiasm. There was no unique “spirit of 1914,” and people in general were not happy about the prospect of war. This revisionist thesis is now the new orthodoxy and should as such be subject The received wisdom has long been that people in Europe reacted with great enthusiasm as war was approaching in August, 1914.

Placement errors of object clitics (OCL) in French have been documented in 2L1 and L2 but not in L1 acquisition (Granfeldt, 2012; Hamann & Belletti, 2006). In the present study, we investigate whether placement errors of third person singular OCLs may be due to cross-linguistic influence. We exposed bilingual children (successive L1 French/L2 Italian and L1 Italian/L2 French and simultaneous 2

In order to achieve significant improvements in road safety at the national level, there is a need for a systematic approach to road safety management with clear responsibilities and accountability. In this paper – after a review of the literature on guidelines, recommendations and research findings – twelve essential elements of such a systematic approach are pointed out, and corresponding releva

Bromide anations of PtBr5H2O− in the presence of PtBr42− or bromine, of trans-PtBr4(H2O)2 in the presence of PtBr42− and of cis-PtBr4(H2O)2 in the presence of bromine have been studied in 0.50 M perchloric acid medium at 25 °C. The rate law for the bromide anation of PtBr5H2O−indicates two parallel reaction paths. The term k′Br−2 corresponds to a bromide assisted mechanism. The second term i

The main purpose has been to evaluate existing set points (thresholds) and suggest proper set points, for the regulation of the air change rate in a demand controlled mechanical ventilation (DCV) system. The DCV is controlled by measurements in the supply and exhaust air of the vapor content and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for each dwelling in multifamily houses. Results have been achieved t

Abstract Background Gene expression signatures hold promise for a molecularly driven division of primary breast cancer with clinical implications. A gap still remains in the application/validation of such signatures in actual clinical treatment groups from unselected, population-based, primary breast cancer receiving current standard of care therapy.

In this paper we study reliability, timeliness and load reduction in an hybrid Mobile Edge Computing (MEC)/Cloud game streaming infrastructure. In our scenario, a user plays a game streamed by the producer to their handheld device -- or User Equipment (UE). The UE communicates user actions to the edge/cloud via the mobile communication infrastructure; the object is to retrieve the latest game stat

Children’s biographies are only rarely and more recently considered. In this paper, we make a case for thinking biographically about children’s relational lives. Using two qualitative case studies from research with children in middle childhood, in the UK and Sweden, we attend to the materiality of children’s biographies. We explore the way in which home spaces, possessions, family mementoes and m

We have previously documented the on-going work in the EUFORIA project to parallelise and optimise European fusion simulation codes, see. This involves working with a wide range of codes to try and address any performance and scaling issues that these codes have. However, as no two simulation codes are exactly the same, it is very hard to apply exactly the same approach to optimising a disparate r
