daughters’ than sons’ care in China http://digitalcommons.uri.edu/soc_facpubs/12 http://digitalcommons.uri.edu/soc_facpubs/12 Thu, 06 Jul 2017 12:00:35 PDT Objectives: To examine whether older parents in China would benefit more from daughters’ care than from sons’ care.

Methods: Analysis of the unique datasets of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey conducted in 2002, 2005 and 2008-2009 in 22 provinces.

Results: As compared to having son(s), having daughter(s) is significantly more beneficial at older ages in China, with regards to maintaining higher cognitive capacity and reducing mortality risk. Such daughter-advantages are more profound among the oldest-old aged 80+ as compared to the young-old aged 65-79, and surprisingly more profound in rural areas as compared to urban areas, even though son-preference is much more common among rural residents.

Discussion: We describe how educational campaigns aimed at informing the public about the benefits of daughter(s) for older parents’ health outcome could help promote gender equality and reduce traditional son-preference, especially in rural China.

Higher education Library science Simulation of a Bidirectional DC-DC Boost Converter Using a State-Space Averaged Model http://digitalcommons.uri.edu/theses/1047 http://digitalcommons.uri.edu/theses/1047 Thu, 06 Jul 2017 07:20:05 PDT Boost converters are electronic devices that are widely used to power devices that require a higher voltage than the input voltage supply can deliver. When designing boost converter systems, it is difficult to optimize component values without damaging components. Models and simulations of a boost converter are developed to give insight into how to design the system and prevent harm to the boost converter. In particular, a state-space averaged (SSA) model of a DC-DC boost converter that includes a secondary inductor and parasitic resistances is developed. This model is then further developed to match a hardware bidirectional DC-DC boost converter that operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) and uses voltage-mode with current-mode control. The SSA model is used to simulate an actual hardware boost converter system. The SSA based simulation successfully matched experimental data of the hardware boost converter system at low (10kW) and medium (60 – 120kW) level power outputs, but only approximately matched the system behavior at high (250kW) level power outputs.

Four common themes that emerge in the articles with respect to psychological research conducted in the area of big data are mentioned, including: 1. The benefits of collaboration across disciplines, such as those in the social sciences, applied statistics, and computer science. Doing so assists in grounding big data research in sound theory and practice, as well as in affording effective data retrieval and analysis. 2. Availability of large datasets on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites that provide a psychological window into the attitudes and behaviors of a broad spectrum of the population. 3. Identifying, addressing, and being sensitive to ethical considerations when analyzing large datasets gained from public or private sources. 4. The unavoidable necessity of validating predictive models in big data by applying a model developed on one dataset to a separate set of data or hold-out sample. Translational abstracts that summarize the articles in very clear and understandable terms are included in Appendix A, and a glossary of terms relevant to big data research discussed in the articles is presented in Appendix B. Keywords: big data, machine learning, statistical learning theory, social media data, digital footprint, decision trees and forests.

It seemed time to provide a brief overview of the history, the highlights over the years, and the current state of the journal, along with tips for submissions. The article is organized to discuss: (1) the background and development of the journal, (2) the top articles, authors and topics over the years, (3) an overview of the journal today, and (4) a summary of the features of successful articles that usually entail rigorous and novel methodology described in clear and understandable writing and that can be applied in meaningful and relevant areas of psychological research.
