A Light Scattering Investigation of Enzymatic Gelation in Self-Assembling Peptides
2.4. Discussion Our results show that the approach to a gel phase follows different pathways in diluted and concentrated SAP solutions. Figure 4 shows that there is a delay of a few minutes between the pH jump and the gel formation. Several studies of similar fibril–former gelators, showed the existence of a lag-phase, during which the peptide aggregation is limited, followed by a stage in which the aggregate concentration rapidly increases [54,55,56].
Thermal Lens Measurements of Thermal Expansivity in Thermosensitive Polymer Solutions
Abstract : The weak absorption of a laser beam generates in a fluid an inhomogeneous refractive index profile acting as a negative lens. This self-effect on beam propagation, known as Thermal Lensing (TL), is extensively exploited in sensitive spectroscopic techniques, and in several all-optical methods for the assessment of thermo-optical properties of simple and complex fluids.
Fiscal policy can help people rebound from cost of living crisis
Governments confront difficult trade-offs amid sharp increases in food and energy prices. Policymakers must protect low-income families from large real income losses and ensure their access to food and energy. But they must also reduce vulnerabilities from large public debts and, in response to high inflation, maintain a tight fiscal stance so that fiscal policy does not work at cross-purposes with monetary policy.

KT Edit: Tips for pragmatic fiscal policy in an uncertain world
The pandemic will leave a lasting mark on inequality, poverty, and government finances, our latest Fiscal Monitor finds. Vaccination has saved lives and helped economic recovery in many countries, but uncertainty remains high amid new virus variants. The pandemic will leave a lasting mark on inequality, poverty, and government finances, our latest Fiscal Monitor finds. With the pandemic, global debt in 2020 jumped by 14 per cent to a record high $226 trillion.
Phase Behavior and Microscopic Dynamics of a Thermosensitive Gel-Forming Polymer
1. Introduction Biotechnologies are in strong demand for surrogates of the extracellular matrix (ECM) to be exploited as suitable three-dimensional cell growth scaffolds. To achieve this aim, candidate media must satisfy some crucial requisites.
How Rising Interest Rates Could Affect Emerging Markets
(Photo: Saiyna Bashir/IMF Photos) By Philipp Engler, Roberto Piazza and Galen Sher عربي, 中文, Español, Français, 日本語, Português, Русский Rapid vaccine rollout in the United States and passage of its $1.9 trillion fiscal stimulus package have boosted its expected economic recovery. In anticipation, longer-term US interest rates have risen rapidly, with the rate on 10-year Treasury securities going from under 1 percent at the start of the year to over 1.75 percent in mid-March.

Vittorio Degiorgio
Vittorio Degiorgio, a professor emeritus of physics at the University of Pavia in Italy, died at his home in Milan on 17 January 2021 after a long battle with cancer. Possessed of a remarkably curious and independent mind, he made numerous achievements in radiation–matter interaction, statistical physics, soft-matter science, and photonics. He investigated those sundry topics with a unifying and distinctive personal style.
Migration to Advanced Economies Can Raise Growth
By Philipp Engler, Margaux MacDonald, Roberto Piazza, and Galen Sher عربي, 中文, Español, Français, 日本語, Português, Русский Migration has been the focus of intense political debate in recent years. While most people have positive perceptions about immigrants, there are misconceptions and concerns. For instance, some think that migrants are a burden on economies.
Bilateral and aggregate trade balances: Finding the right focus
Johannes Eugster, Florence Jaumotte, Margaux MacDonald, Roberto Piazza 10 September 2019 Bilateral trade balances have come under scrutiny recently, with some policymakers concerned that their large and rising size may reflect asymmetric obstacles to trade. This column argues that macroeconomic factors – rather than bilateral tariffs – have been the key drivers of the evolution of bilateral trade balances.
Technology diffusion and global living standards
Johannes Eugster, Giang Ho, Florence Jaumotte, Roberto Piazza 12 June 2019 Technology diffusion to emerging markets helps share growth potential across countries and lift global living standards. Using a global patent citation dataset, this column estimates the magnitude and impact of international knowledge and technology diffusion, as well as the role that globalisation has played. In emerging markets, knowledge flows have increased innovation and productivity.
Economic Forces, Not Tariffs, Drive Changes in Trade Balances
By Johannes Eugster, Florence Jaumotte, Margaux MacDonald, and Roberto Piazza New IMF research finds that macroeconomic factors, not tariffs, explain most of the changes in trade balances between two countries. Bilateral trade balances (the difference in the value of exports and imports between two countries) have come under scrutiny recently. Some policymakers are concerned that their large and rising size are the result of uneven measures that distort international trade.
