This study assesses the effect of population change on decade changes in the educational attainments of country of origin populations in the United States. Our data are derived from decennial censuses, NLMS, the World Bank, and INS. We find that changes in the share of country of origin populations with one or more years of post-secondary schooling are associated with selected components of pop...

This document describes how e cient, scalable persistence has been transparently added to the Mj lner System (MS) by changing the generational garbage collector to identify and remove persistent objects from memory onto persistent storage, while hardware support has been utilized to load persistent objects on demand. MS supports development of programs written in BETA, which are statically type...

BACKGROUND Evidence is inconsistent as to whether or not there are health inequalities in adolescence according to socio-economic position (SEP) and whether or when they emerge in early adulthood. Despite the large health inequalities literature, few studies have simultaneously compared the relative importance of 'health selection' versus 'social causation' at this life-stage. This study follow...

Gene-environment correlation (rGE) exists both within and between families. Between families, accumulating rGE has been used to explain dramatic changes in phenotypic means over time. The Dickens and Flynn model of increases in cognitive ability over generational time, for example, suggests that small changes in phenotype can lead to subsequent reallocation of environmental resources. This proc...

The objective of this study is a comparison of two models of a genetic algorithm the generational and incremental/steady state genetic algorithms for use in the nonstationary/dynamic environments. It is experimentally shown that selection of a suitable version of the genetic algorithm can improve performance of the genetic algorithm in such environments.This can extend ability of the genetic al...

Cognitive abilities rise steeply from infancy to young adulthood and then are either maintained or decline to old age, depending on the specific ability. This pattern suggests corresponding continuities of mechanism and process, but it is striking that the fields of cognitive development and cognitive aging make little contact with each other's methods and theories. In this review we examine re...
