Using M-quantile models as an alternative to random effects to model the contextual value-added of schools in London [PDF]
The measurement of school performance for secondary schools in England has developed from simple measures of marginal performance at age 16 to more complex contextual value-added measures that account for pupil prior attainment and background.

Fluorescence Tuning of Carbon Dots from Red to Blue via UV‐Induced Photochemical Etching
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A UV‐driven photochemical process enables continuous color evolution of carbon dots from red to blue using a single irradiation parameter. Progressive photoetching restructures graphitic domains and surface states, allowing full visible‐spectrum emission control.

The specification of the propensity score in multilevel observational studies
Propensity Score Matching (PSM) has become a popular approach to estimation of causal effects. It relies on the assumption that selection into a treatment can be explained purely in terms of observable characteristics (the “unconfoundedness assumption ...

Multilevel Models for Longitudinal Data
, 2007 Repeated measures and repeated events data have a hierarchical structure which can be analysed by using multilevel models. A growth curve model is an example of a multilevel random-coefficients model, whereas a discrete time event history model for ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The human brain's imagination, which enables autonomous driving hazard avoidance by completing missing visual information, relies on Gaussian‐stochastic neuron. We report the altermagnetic RuO2 spintronic neurons integrating field‐free switching and intrinsic Gaussian stochasticity, building an all‐spin ANN for high‐quality image repairing and high ...

The impact of objective and subjective measures of air quality and noise on house prices: a multilevel approach for downtown Madrid [PDF]
Air quality is one of the major concerns in big cities. It is therefore of interest to evaluate properly air pollution. Specifically, this paper aims at measuring how air quality is incorporated in transaction prices in downtown Madrid. For that purpose,

Flexoelectricity in Photoconversion: Fundamentals, Materials, and Outlooks
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Mechanical bending of a flexible cantilever induces a strain gradient in the photoactive material. The resulting flexoelectric field couples with photovoltaic and photoconductive effects, modulating charge generation, separation, and collection. A comparative analysis of oxide perovskites, halide perovskites, and two‐dimensional materials is presented,
