Spatz.Giant vesicles are widely used as a model membrane system, both for basic biological systems and for their promising applications in the development of smart materials and cell mimetics, as well as in driving new technologies in synthetic biology and for the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry. The reader is guided to use giant vesicles, from the formation of simple membrane platforms to advanced membrane and cell system models. It also includes fundamentals for understanding lipid or polymer membrane structure, properties and behavior. Every chapter includes ideas for further applications and discussions on the implications of the observed phenomena towards understanding membrane-related processes. The Giant Vesicle Book is meant to be a road companion, a trusted guide for those making their first steps in this field as well as a source of information required by experts. Key Features A complete summary of the field, covering fundamental concepts, practical methods, core theory, and the most promising applications A start-up package of theoretical and experimental information for newcomers in the field Extensive protocols for establishing the required preparations and assays Tips and instructions for carefully performing and interpreting measurements with giant vesicles or for observing them, including pitfalls Approaches developed for investigating giant vesicles as well as brief overviews of previous studies implementing the described techniques Handy tables with data and structures for ready referenceLiposomesLipid membranesBiotechnologyLiposomes.Lipid membranesBiotechnology.571.655Dimova Rumiana(Scientist)1586721Marques Carlos(Scientist)1586722OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910799932903321The Giant Vesicle Book3873578UNINA03815nam 22006495 450 991051058110332120230810174033.09783030882310(electronic bk.)978303088230310.1007/978-3-030-88231-0(MiAaPQ)EBC6812131(Au-PeEL)EBL6812131(CKB)19919154700041(OCoLC)1287135816(DE-He213)978-3-030-88231-0(EXLCZ)991991915470004120211124d2021 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierConsumer Credit in Europe Macro- and Microeconomic Perspectives /by Maria Lissowska1st ed. 2021.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2021.1 online resource (136 pages)Print version: Lissowska, Maria Consumer Credit in Europe Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2021 9783030882303 Includes bibliographical references and index.1. Trends and role of consumer credits in the European economy -- 2. Changing credit landscape -- 3. The role of consumer credits in the life of an European household -- 4. Regulatory and organisational context of consumer credits in Europe -- 5. Conclusion.This book provides a comprehensive outlook on the state and role of consumer credits in the European economy and households. It underlines the role of consumerism and digitalisation, in the framework of legislation. It covers two major turns in consumer credit evolution: the 2008 crisis and Covid pandemic. The first had socio-economic sources, the second one was an external event, but provoked important changes in consumer behaviour. Lockdowns deepened the preference for digital financial products. FinTech and BigData operators acquired broader opportunities with the development of distance services. These new financial services need adapted legislation. The recently published project of Consumer Credits Directive covers new means of communication, such as smartphones, and extends rules to new ways of crediting, like crowdfunding. Consumer credit availability changed the behaviour of households. The propensity of poorer households to save faded due to the ease of getting credit. However, financial insecurity during the Coronavirus pandemic made households limit credits and build precautionary savings. Maria Lissowska is a professor of economics at the Warsaw School of Economics. Her research focuses on institutional and financial economics. In 2007 - 2018 she was an official of the European Commission, specifically responsible for analysis and legislation of consumer credits. She then returned to research and now publishes on financial issues including consumer credits and crowdfunding. .Economic policyEconomicsSocial choiceFinanceEconomicsPsychological aspectsEconomic
