The Interaction between Parents and Children:three Essays on Family Economics
Get PDFParent-child interactions play a key role in family wellbeing and have long-term effects on inequalities. Therefore, it is critical to analyze parent-child interactions over the life cycle. In this thesis, we examine the impact of parent-child interactions in China and the Netherlands, two countries that differ significantly in terms of their cultures and social welfare systems. Chapter 2 examines the effect of daycare use at age 0-2 on children’s cognitive abilities and self-assessed qualities at age 8 in the Netherlands. In Chapter 3, we examine the effect of parental housing wealth on children’s marriage prospects, focusing on the context of China. In Chapter 4, we investigate the effect of losing a child in China on parents’ physical health, mental health, and wellbeing later in life
Metamaterial-based Toraldo pupils for super-resolution at millimetre wavelengths
Get PDFUsing the long-established Cardiff metal-mesh filter technology, we have exploited our ability to artificially manipulate the phase of a wavefront across a device in order to produce a dielectric-based Toraldo pupil working at millimeter wavelengths. The use of a Toraldo pupil to push the angular resolution of an optical imaging system beyond the classical diffraction limit is yet to be realized in the millimeter regime, but is an exciting prospect. Here we present the design and measured performance of a prototype Toraldo pupil, based on a 5 annuli design
