A recent study of controlled release of a model small-molecule drug from poly (lactide-co-glycolide) microspheres prepared by the single-emulsion method found that the diffusion constant of the drug through the polymer was best related to the polymer's molecular weight according to

What Is the Question of the Chapter? Suppose we observe a collection of a consumer's choices, can we discover his/her preference? Is this possible at all?fso, under what conditions is this possible? (This is the reverse question of finding the optimal choice)
