Understanding and diagnosing the potential for bias when using machine learning methods with doubly robust causal estimators
(SAGE, 2018-05-02)Data-adaptive methods have been proposed to estimate nuisance parameters when using doubly robust semiparametric methods for estimating marginal causal effects. However, in the presence of near practical positivity violations, these methods can produce ... -
Unified scaling of the structure and loading of nanoparticles formed via diffusion-limited coalescence
(American Chemical Society, 2018-04-30)The present study establishes the scaling laws describing the structure of spherical nanoparticles formed by diffusion-limited coalescence. We produced drug-loaded nanoparticles from a poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(d,l-lactic acid) diblock polymer (PEG-b-PLA) ... -
Universal cures for idiosyncratic illnesses: a genealogy of therapeutic reasoning in the mental health field
(SAGE Publications, 2014-08)Over the past decades, there has been a significant increase in prescriptions of psychotropic drugs for mental disorders. So far, most of the explanations of the phenomenon have focused on the process of medicalization, but little attention has been ... -
Unraveling the correlations between conformation, lubrication, and chemical stability of bottlebrush polymers at interfaces
(American Chemical Society, 2017-09-29)In the present study, we monitored the conformation and chemical stability of a hydrophilic bottlebrush (BB) polymer in pure water and buffered saline solutions. We correlated these parameters to lubricating and wear protecting properties. Using the ... -
Wear protection without surface modification using a synergistic mixture of molecular brushes and linear polymers
(American Chemical Society, 2017-01-10)We describe the design of lubricating and wear protecting fluids based on mixtures of bottlebrushes (BB) and linear polymers solutions. To illustrate this concept we used hyaluronic acid (HA) - a naturally occurring linear polyelectrolyte, and a water ...
