Chemical contamination and disease outbreaks have increased in many ecosystems. However, connecting pollution to disease spread remains difficult, in part, because contaminants can simultaneously exert direct and multi-generational effects on several host and parasite traits. To address these challenges, we parametrized a model using a zooplankton-fungus-copper system. In individual-level assay...

We study the long-run and multi-generational effects of a mass education program in Vietnam during First Indochina War (1946-1954). Difference-in-difference estimations indicate that children mothers exposed to had an average 0.9 more years education. argue impact is via mother’s An additional year maternal increases children’s by up 0.65 years, stronger effect than those found existing literat...

Introduction After nearly a century-long trend toward single-family living arrangements, people in wealthy nations are increasingly living in multi-generational households. Multi-generational living arrangements can, in theory, increase psychological, social, and financial capital-factors associated with improvements in health and longevity. Methods We conducted a survival analysis using the ...

We analyze the performance of several copying garbage collection algorithms in a large address space offered by modern architectures. In particular, we describe the design and implementation of the RealOF garbage collector, an algorithm explicitly designed to exploit the features of 64-bit environments. This collector maintains a correspondence between object age and object placement in the add...

This paper presents the verification of a generational copying garbage collector for the CakeML runtime system. The proof is split into an algorithm proof and an implementation proof. The algorithm proof follows the structure of the informal intuition for the generational collector’s correctness, namely, a partial collection cycle in a generational collector is the same as running a full collec...

Generational collectors are well known as a tool for shortening pause times incurred by garbage collection and for improving garbage collection efficiency. In this paper, we investigate how to best use generations with on-the-fly collectors. On-the-fly collectors run concurrently with the program threads and induce very short program pauses. Thus, the motivation for incorporating generations is...

Today’s organizations need to be adaptive and agile in order to deal with the rapidly changing environment and competitive pressures. Part of the challenge in doing so is examining the knowledge flows and knowledge gaps within the organizations, especially cross-generational knowledge flows. This paper is an extension of the authors’ previous work in cross-generational knowledge flow research i...
