Enjoying the fruit of development? Working conditions and the earnings of low-skilled internal migrants in China across two decades (1993-2015)
China’s unprecedented economic growth in recent decades can largely be attributed to millions of migrant laborers that made China the “world’s factory.” It is well documented, however, that migrant laborers experience discrimination in the labor market. Despite China’s phenomenal economic growth, few studies have investigated whether the working conditions of low-skilled migrants have improved. In this study, we ask: in the past two decades, have disparities in working conditions and earnings between low-skilled rural-to-urban migrant workers and their urban counterparts decreased? We contrast the working conditions and earnings between migrants and urban residents who lack a high school degree and age 18 to 55 years using panel data, the China Health and Nutrition Survey (1993-2015), and individual fixed effects models to account for selection problems. Findings indicate that over a span of twenty years migrants and urban residents had similar trends in employment and earned incomes, but migrants’ weekly working hours and tendency to work more than legal work hours increased more than urban residents’. Working longer without earning more suggests persistent social inequality in Chinese society in general and deeper injustice among migrant workers
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Strengthening copper matrix composites by in situ synthesized amorphous carbon nanosheet reinforcements
Graphene-like carbon nanosheets with large specific surface areas present a great potential to enhance the mechanical properties of copper matrix composites. To achieve the homogeneous dispersion of nanosheet reinforcements in the copper matrix, in-situ synthesis strategies using solid carbon sources have been developed in recent years. However, the influence of in-situ synthesis factors on the microstructures of carbon nanosheets and the corresponding mechanical behaviors are far from clear. In this work, an amorphous carbon nanosheets reinforced copper matrix composite with significantly enhanced strength had been in-situ synthesized. The dependence of the microstructures and tensile mechanical properties of the composite on the amorphous carbon nanosheet concentration was investigated. The in-situ grown amorphous carbon nanosheets induced remarkably refined Cu grains and they could effectively bear the loads transferring from the matrix. Consequently, the copper matrix composite with 0.6 wt% amorphous carbon nanosheets showed the highest yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of 196.5 MPa and 306.4 MPa, respectively, which are 2.56 and 1.51 folds of the pure copper bulk. The strengthening mechanisms of the amorphous carbon nanosheets/Cu composite were further revealed through the microstructure characterizations and theoretical model analysis. The load transfer was considered as a dominant mechanism for the strengthening

The thesis consists of three parts. The first part introduces the basic of power amplifier theory, then introduces the design consideration and the design challenge of the CMOS power amplifier. n the second part, the first PA is implemented in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS technology. The major challenge of this circuit is that the breakdown voltage is about 1.8 V. Proper design of matching networks leads to good power and gain performances. The measured output power is 19.1 dBm and the small signal gain is 18.8 dB at 24 GHz. The chip size is only 0.56 x 0.58 mm2. n the third part, two PAs are designed and measured for 60 GHz systems. Thin-film microstrip lines (TFMS) used as matching elements to reduce the effect of lossy substrate on these two circuits. The first PA fabricated in 0.13-μm CMOS process. This PA achieves a measurement Psat of 14.3 dBm, P1dB of 11.2 dBm, PAE of 8 %, and linear gain of 15.5 dB at the frequency of 55 GHz, with a chip size of 0.66 x 0.5 mm2, when VDD is biased at 3 V. The second PA fabricated in a more advanced 90-nm CMOS process. The circuit is designed to have a wide-band frequency response to tolerate process variation. The MMIC PA has a wide 3-dB bandwidth from 50 to 70 GHz, with a chip size of 0.66 x 0.5 mm2. When VDD is biased at 2.4 V, this PA achieves a measurement Psat of 16.2 dBm, P1dB of 12 dBm, PAE of 15 %, and linear gain of 33 dB at the frequency of 60 GHz.The simulations agree with the measurements very well in these PAs, also, three PAs demonstrated high output power compared with the previously works of CMOS PAs operating at frequencies around 24 GHz and 60 GHz.CONTENTS謝 i文摘要 iiBSTRACT ivONTENTS viIST OF FIGURES viiiIST OF TABLES xiihapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Background and Motivation [1] 1.2 Literature Survey of High Frequency CMOS Power Amplifiers 3.3 Contributions 4.4 Thesis Organization 5hapter 2 Overview of Power Amplifier Design 6.1 Introduction 6.2 Design Challenges of CMOS Power Amplifiers 6.3 Power Amplifier Theory [13]-[15] 8.4 Design Considerations of Power Amplifiers 15hapter 3 A 24 GHz Power Amplifier Using 0.18-μm CMOS Technology 18.1 Introduction 18.2 Previously Published Works 19.3 Design a 24 GHz PA using 0.18-μm CMOS Process 21.4 Measurement Results 29.5 Conclusions 34hapter 4 V-Band CMOS Power Amplifier Design 37.1 Introduction 37.2 Design a 60 GHz PA using 0.13-μm CMOS Process 39.3 Measurement Results of 0.13-μm CMOS 60 GHz PA 46.4 Design a 60 GHz PA using 90-nm CMOS Process 52.5 Measurement Results of 90-nm CMOS 60 GHz PA 59.6 Conclusions 66hapter 5 Conclusions 69EFERENCE 71UBLICATION LIST OF JING-LIN KUO 76ournal Papers 76onference Papers 7
