Interpreting tests of school VAM validity

quasi-experiments

Angrist J, Hull P, Pathak P, Walters C.
GSID: Lzf-TIvS06gJ
J Angrist, P Hull, P Pathak, C Walters - American Economic Review, 2016 - aeaweb.org

We develop over-identification tests that use admissions lotteries to assess the predictive value of regression-based value-added models (VAMs). These tests have degrees of freedom equal to the number of quasi-experiments available to estimate school effects. By contrast, …

Cancer risk among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes: disentangling true associations, detection bias, and reverse causation. Diabetes Care 2015;38:264-270.

Estimating the risk of type-2 diabetes using obese-years in a contemporary population of the Framingham Study.

Global health action

Abdullah A, Amin FA, Hanum F, Stoelwinder J, Tanamas S, Wolf R, Wong E, Peeters A.
PMID: 27369220
Glob Health Action. 2016 Jun 30;9:30421. doi: 10.3402/gha.v9.30421. eCollection 2016.

BACKGROUND: We have recently demonstrated that an obese-years construct is a better predictor of the risk of diabetes than the severity of body weight alone. However, these risk estimates were derived from a population cohort study initiated in 1948...

Fast and Sensitive Solution-Processed Visible-Blind Perovskite UV Photodetectors.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)

Adinolfi V, Ouellette O, Saidaminov MI, Walters G, Abdelhady AL, Bakr OM, Sargent EH.
PMID: 27300753
Adv Mater. 2016 Sep;28(33):7264-8. doi: 10.1002/adma.201601196. Epub 2016 Jun 14.

The first visible-blind UV photodetector based on MAPbCl3 integrated on a substrate exhibits excellent performance, with responsivities reaching 18 A W(-1) below 400 nm and imaging-compatible response times of 1 ms. This is achieved by using substrate-integrated single crystals,...

Passivation Using Molecular Halides Increases Quantum Dot Solar Cell Performance.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)

Lan X, Voznyy O, Kiani A, García de Arquer FP, Abbas AS, Kim GH, Liu M, Yang Z, Walters G, Xu J, Yuan M, Ning Z, Fan F, Kanjanaboos P, Kramer I, Zhitomirsky D, Lee P, Perelgut A, Hoogland S, Sargent EH.
PMID: 26576685
Adv Mater. 2016 Jan 13;28(2):299-304. doi: 10.1002/adma.201503657. Epub 2015 Nov 18.

A solution-based passivation scheme is developed featuring the use of molecular iodine and PbS colloidal quantum dots (CQDs). The improved passivation translates into a longer carrier diffusion length in the solid film. This allows thicker solar-cell devices to be...

Contribution of discretionary food and drink consumption to socio-economic inequalities in children's weight: prospective study of Australian children.

International journal of epidemiology

Chung A, Peeters A, Gearon E, Backholer K.
PMID: 29514246
Int J Epidemiol. 2018 Jun 01;47(3):820-828. doi: 10.1093/ije/dyy020.

BACKGROUND: In high-income countries, children with a lower socio-economic position (SEP) are more likely to gain excess weight compared with children with a higher SEP. The extent to which children's consumption of discretionary food and drinks contributes to the...

A porcine model system of BRCA1 driven breast cancer.

Frontiers in genetics

Donninger H, Hobbing K, Schmidt ML, Walters E, Rund L, Schook L, Clark GJ.
PMID: 26379698
Front Genet. 2015 Aug 25;6:269. doi: 10.3389/fgene.2015.00269. eCollection 2015.

BRCA1 is a breast and ovarian tumor suppressor. Hereditary mutations in BRCA1 result in a predisposition to breast cancer, and BRCA1 expression is down-regulated in ~30% of sporadic cases. The function of BRCA1 remains poorly understood, but it appears...

Lifestyle Vaccines and Public Health: Exploring Policy Options for a Vaccine to Stop Smoking.

Public health ethics

Wolters A, de Wert G, van Schayck OC, Horstman K.
PMID: 27551304
Public Health Ethics. 2016 Jul;9(2):183-197. doi: 10.1093/phe/phw004. Epub 2016 Mar 14.

Experimental vaccines are being developed for the treatment of 'unhealthy lifestyles' and associated chronic illnesses. Policymakers and other stakeholders will have to deal with the ethical issues that this innovation path raises: are there morally justified reasons to integrate...

Development of a Self-Help Web-Based Intervention Targeting Young Cancer Patients With Sexual Problems and Fertility Distress in Collaboration With Patient Research Partners.

JMIR research protocols

Winterling J, Wiklander M, Obol CM, Lampic C, Eriksson LE, Pelters B, Wettergren L.
PMID: 27073057
JMIR Res Protoc. 2016 Apr 12;5(2):e60. doi: 10.2196/resprot.5499.

BACKGROUND: The Internet should be suitable for delivery of interventions targeting young cancer patients. Young people are familiar with the technologies, and this patient group is small and geographically dispersed. Still, only few psycho-educational Web-based interventions are designed for...

BMC Obesity - expanding the BMC series into an important area of research.

BMC obesity

Horne G, McTernan P, Visscher T, Peeters A.
PMID: 26217494

This Editorial marks the launch of an important new journal to join the BMC series portfolio - BMC Obesity. BMC Obesity joins BMC Cancer as the second journal within the series to focus on a particular condition in the...

Quantum-dot-in-perovskite solids.

Nature

Ning Z, Gong X, Comin R, Walters G, Fan F, Voznyy O, Yassitepe E, Buin A, Hoogland S, Sargent EH.
PMID: 26178963
Nature. 2015 Jul 16;523(7560):324-8. doi: 10.1038/nature14563.

Heteroepitaxy-atomically aligned growth of a crystalline film atop a different crystalline substrate-is the basis of electrically driven lasers, multijunction solar cells, and blue-light-emitting diodes. Crystalline coherence is preserved even when atomic identity is modulated, a fact that is the...

Optically Triggered Immune Response through Photocaged Oligonucleotides.

Tetrahedron letters

Govan JM, Young DD, Lively MO, Deiters A.
PMID: 26034339
Tetrahedron Lett. 2015 Jun 03;56(23):3639-3642. doi: 10.1016/j.tetlet.2015.01.165.

Bacterial and viral CpG oligonculeotides are unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanosine dinucleotide sequences and trigger an innate immune response through activation of the toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). We have developed synthetic photocaged CpGs via site-specific incorporation of nitropiperonyloxymethyl (NPOM)-caged thymidine residues. These...
