Dimensions of Rational Decision-Making during the Demographic Transition; Aranjuez (Spain) Revisited by David Reher, Glenn Sandström

“… A set of linked reproductive histories taken from the Spanish town of Aranjuez during the demographic transition is used to address key issues regarding reproductive change and reproductive choice. This paper builds on the existing literature and especially on the findings first shown in Reher & Sanz-Gimeno (2007) and in Van Poppel et al. (2012) where the links between childhood survival and reproductive decision-making were specified. …”

Relationship between influenza-related experience and current vaccination outcome by Yunwei Gai

“…Linear and logistic probability models were estimated to predict influenza vaccination using a person’s vaccination status in the previous year and history of influenza infection, adjusting for demographics, socioeconomic variables, general health status, and healthcare access. The models used two-way and three-way interactions with race/ethnicity, income, education, health status, and elderly status to examine changing relationships of flu-related experience across these variables. …”

ANALYSIS OF SHRINKAGE PERFORMANCE OF U-SHAPED RUBBER OUTER WINDSHIELD OF HIGH-SPEED TRAIN AT LOW TEMPERATURE by GU Cheng, XU Lei, YU Chengtao, WANG Jiazheng

“…Based on the low temperature tensile test data of the rubber, Ansys software was used to fit the Mooney-Rivlin hyperelastic constitutive model of rubber material parameters, and the thermo-solid coupling simulation was carried out on the U-shaped rubber outer windshield according to three real working conditions, and the influence of different working conditions on the U-shaped rubber deformation was studied.The low temperature test was carried out on U-shaped rubber outer windshield and three rubber samples with different batten thicknesses， the influence of temperature and batten thickness on its deformation was studied.The results show that the U-shaped rubber deformation is mainly caused by the temperature change, the U-shaped rubber height decreases obviously, and the shape variable of the side wall thickness and the rubber length is small.In addition, the batten thickness has a greater influence on the rubber shape variable at the bolt hole.Compared with the batten of 5 mm and 6 mm thickness, the 4 mm batten produces a larger deformation under the bolt preload action, resulting in a larger deformation at the bolt hole, and then increasing the batten thickness can effectively reduce the hole removal risk.Comparing the finite element simulation data with the low temperature test results, it is found that the two results are basically consistent，which indicates the finite element analysis feasibility and the low temperature test reliability.The research results provide some guidance basis for the U-shaped rubber outer windshield under low temperature application reliability.…”
