The necessity of complex-shaped components characterized by superior mechanical properties and limited weight is moving the attention to Aluminium (Al) alloys. Deep Drawing Steel grades possess stamping characteristics formability with respect Al But need light-weighting pushes towards adoption materials optimal strenght-to-weight ratio, like Todays alloys are certainly used in transport sector...

GlmU is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the final two steps in the biosynthesis of UDP-GlcNAc. Crystals of GlmU from Mycobacterium tuberculosis obtained using ammonium sulfate as a precipitant diffracted poorly (to 3.4 A resolution) and displayed an unusually high solvent content (>80%) with sparse crystal packing that resulted in large solvent channels. With one molecule per asymmetric un...

This paper studies robust Ramsey policy problems in a general discrete-time linearquadratic framework when the Ramsey planner faces three types of ambiguity. This framework includes both exogenous and endogenous state variables. In addition, the equilibrium system from the private sector contains both backward-looking and forward-looking dynamics. We provide recursive characterizations and algo...

Empirical Evidence on the Effectiveness of Social Public Procurement Policy: The Case of the Swiss Apprenticeship Training System* In this paper we assess the effectiveness of a social public procurement policy in Switzerland that gives firms that train apprentices a preferential treatment. We estimate the effectiveness of this social procurement policy on a firm’s training participation, train...

This paper studies the impact of corporate tax policy on the economy in the presence of both convex and nonconvex capital adjustment costs in a dynamic general equilibrium model. We show that corporate tax policy generates both intensive and extensive margin effects via the channel of marginal Q. Its impact is determined largely by the strength of the extensive margin effect, which in turn depe...

ABSTRACT We investigate the effects of mandatory private Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) to European tax authorities on multinational firms' capital and labor investments, as well their organizational structures. exploit threshold-based application this 2016 disclosure rule conduct difference-in-differences regression discontinuity tests. document increases in expenditures Europe, but these...

Human kallikreins are a group of serine proteases of high sequence homology whose genes are grouped as a single cluster at chromosome 19. Although the physiological roles of kallikreins are generally still unknown, members of the kallikrein family have been clearly implicated in pathological situations such as cancer and psoriasis. Human kallikrein 7 (hK7) has been shown to be involved in patho...
