Abstract:
The causal effect of a treatment can vary from person to person based on their individual characteristics and predispositions. Mining for patterns of individual-level effect differences, a problem known as heterogeneous treatment effect estimation, has many important applications, from precision medicine to recommender systems. In this paper we define and study a variant of this problem in which an individuallevel threshold in treatment needs to be reached, in order to trigger an effect. One of the main contributions of our work is that we do not only estimate heterogeneous treatment effects w

Abstract:
Randomized experiments are increasingly used to study political phenomena because they can credibly estimate the average effect of a treatment on a population of interest. But political scientists are often interested in how effects vary across subpopulations—heterogeneous treatment effects—and how differences in the content of the treatment affects responses—the response to heterogeneous treatments. Several new methods have been introduced to estimate heterogeneous effects, but it is difficult to know if a method will perform well for a particular data set. Rather than using only one method,

Abstract:
The extent to which survey experiments conducted with nonrepresentative convenience samples are generalizable to target populations depends critically on the degree of treatment effect heterogeneity. Recent inquiries have found a strong correspondence between sample average treatment effects estimated in nationally representative experiments and in replication studies conducted with convenience samples. We consider here two possible explanations: low levels of effect heterogeneity or high levels of effect heterogeneity that are unrelated to selection into the convenience sample. We analyze sub

Abstract:
A variety of identification strategies have a common cell structure, in which the observed heterogeneity of the regression defines a partition of the sample into cells. Typically in the presence of exogenous covariates that define the cell structure, identification assumptions are imposed conditional on each value of the covariate, or cell by cell. Treatment effects across cells are typically heterogeneous. Researchers might be interested in unconditional parameters which are the averaged treatment effects across the cells. Alternatively, treatment effects can be estimated more efficiently if

In this paper we propose methods for estimating heterogeneity in causal effects in experimental and observational studies and for conducting hypothesis tests about the magnitude of differences in treatment effects across subsets of the population.

The approach enables the construction of valid confidence intervals for treatment effects, even with many covariates relative to the sample size, and without “sparsity” assumptions.

We show that CATE-PD is point-identified under mild conditions if two-way exclusion restrictions exist: (a) an outcome-exclusive variable, which affects the treatment but is excluded from the potential outcome equation, and (b) a

An essential feature common to all empirical social research is variability across units of analysis.

AbstractMineral dust aerosol participates in heterogeneous chemistry in the atmosphere. In particular, the hydroxyl groups on the surface of aluminosilicate clay minerals are important for heterogeneous atmospheric processes. These functional groups may be altered by acidic processing during atmospheric transport. In this study, we exposed kaolinite (KGa-1b) and montmorillonite (STx-1b) to aqueous sulfuric acid and then rinsed the soluble reactants and products off in order to explore changes to functional groups on the mineral surface. To quantify the changes due to acid treatment of edge hyd

In this work we report on a rapid, easy-to-operate, lossless, room temperature heterogeneous H2O plasma treatment process for the bonding of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and double-sided polished (DSP) silicon substrates by for utilization in sandwich structured microfluidic devices. The heterogeneous bonding of the sandwich structure produced by the H2O plasma is analyzed, and the effect of heterogeneous bonding of free radicals and high charge electrons (e−) in the formed plasma which causes a passivation phenomenon during the bonding process investigated.

Abstract:
Degradation of dye wastewater was studied by using nanoferrous modified bentonite as the heterogeneous catalyst for a Fenton-like oxidation. By comparing the effect of homogeneous Fenton reactions as well as heterogeneous Fenton-like process for nanomodified bentonite, it is found that the advanced oxidation processes assisted by nanoferrous/bentonite complexes exhibit the stronger degradation capacity. And the removal rate of Fenton-like reaction increased from 23.6% to 75.5% when the ferrous concentration increasing from 20 to 100mmol/L. Being compared with homogeneous Fenton reactions, 20%

Abstract:
Heterogeneous photocatalysts are widely used for wastewater and natural water treatment from organic pollutants. In this paper, g-C3N4-based photocatalysts were synthesized by thermal condensation of melamine. The effect of melamine pretreatment with acetic acid on the physicochemical properties of g-C3N4 was studied using differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTA-TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption. The catalytic activity of synthesized photocatalysts was evaluated during the oxidative degr

Abstract:
Heterogeneous Fenton processes with solid catalysts have gained much attention for water and wastewater treatment in recent years. In the field of solid catalysts, zero valent iron (ZVI) is among the most applicable due to its stability, activity, pollutant degradation properties and environmental friendliness. The main limitation in the use of ZVI in heterogeneous Fenton systems is due to its deactivation in neutral and alkaline conditions, and Fenton-like processes have been developed to overcome this difficulty. In this review, the effect of solution pH on the ZVI-Fenton performance is disc

Abstract:
Sonolysis is emerging as an effective advanced technology for destruction of organic pollutants in wastewater. The focus of this study is to investigate the potential of enhancing the sonochemical destruction of aqueous organics. Increasing the contaminant destruction rate will reduce the reaction time, and possibly reduce the cost of treatment. For this purpose, the effect of H2O2 and/or silica in the presence of ultrasound is examined for destruction of 2-chlorophenol (2-CP). The effect of silica dosage (1, 5, 10, and 20 g/L), peroxide dosage (50, 75, and 100 mg/L), and pH (3,7,and 11) is ex

Abstract:
In order to enhance the efficiency of heterogeneous catalytic ozonation, the effect of thermal treatment on three commonly used and inexpensive minerals, i.e., zeolite, talc and kaolin (clay), which present different physicochemical properties as potential catalysts, has been examined for the removal of para-chlorobenzoic acid (p-CBA). p-CBA is considered a typical micro-pollutant, usually serving as an indicator (model compound) to evaluate the production of hydroxyl radicals in ozonation systems.
