Matrix Tropism Influences Endometriotic Cell Attachment Patterns

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The influence of substrate stiffness and multicellular coculture on endometriotic cell attachment to extracellular matrix‐laden microarrayed islands is reported. This model investigates early endometriotic cell attachment, aiming to capture “lesion initiation events”.

Breaking Ties: Regression Discontinuity Design Meets Market Design [PDF]

Social Science Research Network, 2019
Many schools in large urban districts have more applicants than seats. Centralized school assignment algorithms ration seats at over‐subscribed schools using randomly assigned lottery numbers, non‐lottery tie‐breakers like test scores, or both.

Bicontinuous Microarchitected Scaffolds Provide Topographic Cues That Govern Neuronal Behavior and Maturation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable biomimetic platform transforms bioinert poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate into neuroinstructive matrices via integrating solvent transfer‐induced phase separation, microfluidics, and 3D bioprinting. Bicontinuous, hyperbolically curved microporous networks embedded within a fibrous construct elicit rapid adhesion, robust proliferation, and ...

Covariate Adjustment in Regression Discontinuity Designs

, 2023
The Regression Discontinuity (RD) design is a widely used non-experimental method for causal inference and program evaluation. While its canonical formulation only requires a score and an outcome variable, it is common in empirical work to encounter RD analyses where additional variables are used for adjustment.

Soft Magnetic Artificial Muscles with High Work Density and Actuation Strain via Dual Cross‐Linking Design

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A high‐performance magnetic composite actuator that integrates covalent and reversible physical cross‐links within a stiffness‐tunable polymer matrix embedded with functionalized magnetic particles is presented. The actuator exhibits programmable magnetic responsiveness, a stiffness switching ratio of 1.37 × 103, stretchability up to 1274%, large ...

Impact of agricultural intervention on socio-economic development of farmers: Evidence from regression discontinuity design

International Journal of Academe and Industry Research
The contribution of agriculture in the socio-economic development is undeniable and is truly an important part of the Philippine economy. It is also a major source of livelihood and employment of most Filipinos especially in the rural areas.

Visible Light Induced DLP‐Printed Oxygen‐Releasing TPMS Scaffolds Mitigate Early Hypoxia in Bone Defects

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Visible light‐induced digital light processing 3D printed Primitive‐triply periodic minimal surface hydrogels embed CaO2–Si core–shell nanoparticles to deliver short‐term oxygen during the avascular window. The scaffolds maintain cytocompatibility, elevate osteopontin in vitro, and enhance calvarial defect repair in vivo without toxicity.

Patient Cost-Sharing and Healthcare Utilization in Early Childhood: Evidence from a Regression Discontinuity Design

, 2020
This paper estimates the price elasticity of healthcare utilization in early childhood. We employ a regression discontinuity design by exploiting a subsidy that reduces patient cost-sharing for children under age 3 in Taiwan.

Redox‐Active Polyphenol Red Molecularly Imprinted Polymers on Porous Gold Electrodes for Ultrasensitive, AI‐Assisted Detection of Alzheimer's Biomarkers in Undiluted Biofluids

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a low‐cost, reagent‐free point‐of‐care biosensor integrating redox‐active polyphenol red molecularly imprinted polymers (pPhR MIPs) on highly porous gold (HPG) electrodes for ultrasensitive detection of phosphorylated tau 181 (p‐Tau 181), an Alzheimer’s disease biomarker, in undiluted biofluids.
