Российский внешнеэкономический вестникAnother round of sanctions in international trade prompts expansion of barter, a centuries-proven international trade method, a non-monetary exchange of goods and services. At present, barter transactions have been expanding due to de-dollarization.

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibition as a strategy to reduce cardiovascular risk
Journal of Lipid Research, 2012 Human and rabbit plasma contain a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) that promotes net mass transfers of cholesteryl esters from high density lipoproteins (HDL) to other plasma lipoprotein fractions. As predicted, inhibition of CETP in both humans

Measuring the Hall Effect in Hysteretic Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The authors highlight common pitfalls in measuring the Hall effect: in hysteretic magnets, improper data processing can create signals that look exotic but are not real. This Perspective explains the origin of these artifacts and presents practical measurement strategies that help researchers identify reliable Hall responses in complex magnetic ...

Un sistema de intercambio híbrido: el mercado/tianguis La Purísima, Tehuacán-Puebla, México
Antípoda: Revista de Antropología y Arqueología, 2014 The article treats the market (or tianguis) as an economic institution in which several different forms of goods exchange intermingle, forming a hybrid system of predominantly monetary exchange. These transactions are described ethnographically to reveal

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Crystal orientation and domain engineering enable bulk mirror symmetry breaking in Bi1−xSbx, resulting in ultralow current‐induced switching of perpendicular magnetization without an external field. By exploiting single‐domain Bi1−xSbx (012), the authors demonstrate an out‐of‐plane spin Hall conductivity of ∼1.12×105ℏ2eΩ−1m−1$ \sim \!1.12 \ensuremath ...

The Vanishing Barter Economy in Russia: A Test of the Virtual Economy Hypothesis? Reply to Barry Ickes [PDF]
, 2006 This paper is a reply to Barry Ickes' critique of my paper “Trust versus Illusion: What is Driving Demonetization in Russia?” in which I show that the data reject Barry Ickes' Virtual Economy explanation of barter in Russia in favor of an institutional ...

Regulations for trade between Cossacks and highlanders in the first half of the 19th century
RUDN Journal of Russian History, 2018 The resettlement of Kuban Cossacks and the exploration of new territories in the late 18th and early 19th centuries were fraught with difficulties. While the Cossacks’ main function was the establishment of a cordon line and the protection of the Russian

Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...

Microscale 3D‐Printed Digital Strain Switches for Embedded Mechanical Computation
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Microscale 3D‐printed strain switches on flexible films convert deformation into native digital signals at geometry defined thresholds. A closed form model predicts switching from 3000 to 15 000 microstrain and is validated across 110 devices. Reliable ohmic closure and strain activated AND, OR, and XOR logic point toward low‐power mechanical ...
