On Selective Indirect Tax Reform in Developing Countries [PDF]
The current consensus on indirect tax reform in developing countries favors a reduction in trade taxes with an increase in VAT to raise revenue. The theoretical results on selective reform that underlie this consensus are, however, derived from partial ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.CD207+ dendritic cells (DCs) drive emphysema by promoting CD8⁺ T cell cytotoxicity via Birbeck granule‐dependent MHC‐I antigen presentation. This DC subset is expanded by cigarette smoke‐induced oxidative stress, which triggers granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF) release from airway epithelium.

Robotic Materials With Bioinspired Microstructures for High Sensitivity and Fast Actuation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In the review paper, design rationale and approaches for bioinspired sensors and actuators in robotics applications are presented. These bioinspired microstructure strategies implemented in both can improve the performance in several ways. Also, recent ideas and innovations that embed robotic materials with logic and computation with it are part of the

Reflections on the introduction of value added tax in the United Kingdom and goods and services tax in New Zealand [PDF]
, 2007 Twenty-two years ago (in 1985) the New Zealand (NZ) Goods and Service Tax (GST) Act was enacted. The Value Added Tax (VAT) in the United Kingdom (UK) has now been operational for over thirty-four years. VAT and GST are now an accepted part of taxation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We describe use of a novel zero‐dose approach to tomographic volumetric additive manufacturing that has enabled us to print silicone micro‐ and millifluidic devices and instant molds within minutes. The silicones are polymerized using photoactivated dormant platinum photohydrosilylation catalysts that would traditionally be difficult to access in ...
