Super‐Resolution Ultrasound Based Cell Tracking With Polymeric Nanobubbles

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a super‐resolution ultrasound platform for tracking cells in vivo. Biocompatible polymeric nanobubbles are used as highly echogenic intracellular labels. Following the injection of cells and microbubbles, ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) can dynamically match the microvascular architecture and individual cell trajectories ...

Staged Privatization: Transforming State-Owned Enterprises into Market-Based Firms [PDF]

Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics, 2016
Most privatizations around the world, especially in developed economies, are staged processes involving multiple stages of share lockup and unlocking in the stock market. This paper proposes a theory on staged or step-by-step privatization. We show that such an approach is efficient, in the sense that it can successfully transform state-owned ...

The Heterogeneity of Job Creation and Destruction in Transition and Non-transition Developing Countries: The Effects of Firm Size, Age and Ownership

East Asian Economic Review, 2017
This paper investigates how firm age, size and ownership are related with job creation and destruction, and how these patterns differ across transition and non-transition economies. The analysis finds that age is inversely related with gross job creation

Dynamic Reconstruction‐Engineered Heterointerfaces for Acidic Hydrogen Evolution at Ampere‐Level Current Density

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A dynamic reconstruction strategy was utilized to construct PtCu/Cu3P heterostructures on the surface of self‐supporting Cu3P nanowires. The loose porosity in the restructured layer, together with a dynamic “dissolution‐redeposition” equilibrium during electrocatalysis, enables the electrode to maintain a low, stable overpotential for 240 h at ampere ...
