TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine whether the fear of floating exchange rates has a positive impact on growth performance in developing economies and show that depreciated exchange rates indeed lead to higher growth, but that the effect, rather than through import substitution or export booms as argued by the mercantilist view, works largely through the deepening of domestic savings and capital accumulation.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrochemical behavior of CO plays a key role in the understanding of the reaction mechanism of many electrocatalytic oxidations of small organic molecules, and the adsorption of CO on noble metal electrodes, eventually modified by foreign metal adatoms, is reviewed, taking into account both experimental (electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques) and theoretical (Extended Huckel Model) approaches.

TL;DR: A review of the most common numerical methods used to solve the partial differential equations describing wave propagation in fluid-saturated rocks, including finite-difference, pseudospectral, and finite-element methods, including the spectral-element technique, is provided in this paper.
Abstract: Computational physics has become an essential research and interpretation tool in many fields. Particularly in reservoir geophysics, ultrasonic and seismic modeling in porous media is used to study the properties of rocks and to characterize the seismic response of geologic formations. We provide a review of the most common numerical methods used to solve the partial differential equations describing wave propagation in fluid-saturated rocks, i.e., finite-difference, pseudospectral, and finite-element methods, including the spectral-element technique. The modeling is based on Biot-type theories of dynamic poroelasticity, which constitute a general framework to describe the physics of wave propagation. We explain the various techniques and discuss numerical implementation aspects for application to seismic modeling and rock physics, as, for instance, the role of the Biot diffusion wave as a loss mechanism and interface waves in porous media.

TL;DR: A number of initiatives to reduce the intake of TFAs underway in selected industrialized and developing countries are reviewed, which serves to illustrate the merits and limitations of the available options and how the approaches that have been taken reflect local conditions.
Abstract: A number of approaches have been initiated by governmental and public health organizations in different countries to reduce trans-fatty acid (TFA) intakes. These have included nutrition recommendations with regard to TFAs and general nutrition recommendations regarding the selection of healthy fats, programmes to raise awareness about the adverse effects of TFAs through nutrition and health claims, voluntary or mandatory labelling of the trans content of foods, voluntary or legislated programmes to encourage or force industry to reformulate food products to remove TFAs, the promotion of health and agricultural policies that encourage the production of healthy alternatives to trans fat and finally, mandatory regulation of food standards to remove or reduce the TFA content. This paper reviews a number of initiatives to reduce the intake of TFAs underway in selected industrialized and developing countries, which serves to illustrate the merits and limitations of the available options and how the approaches that have been taken reflect local conditions.

TL;DR: These expert consensus recommendations can be used as guidance when a gallbladder polyp is encountered in clinical practice and cholecystectomy is recommended for gallbladders polyps >10 mm.
Abstract: The management of incidentally detected gallbladder polyps on radiological examinations is contentious. The incidental radiological finding of a gallbladder polyp can therefore be problematic for the radiologist and the clinician who referred the patient for the radiological examination. To address this a joint guideline was created by the European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR), European Association for Endoscopic Surgery and other Interventional Techniques (EAES), International Society of Digestive Surgery – European Federation (EFISDS) and European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE). A targeted literature search was performed and consensus guidelines were created using a series of Delphi questionnaires and a seven-point Likert scale. A total of three Delphi rounds were performed. Consensus regarding which patients should have cholecystectomy, which patients should have ultrasound follow-up and the nature and duration of that follow-up was established. The full recommendations as well as a summary algorithm are provided. These expert consensus recommendations can be used as guidance when a gallbladder polyp is encountered in clinical practice. • Management of gallbladder polyps is contentious
• Cholecystectomy is recommended for gallbladder polyps >10 mm
• Management of polyps <10 mm depends on patient and polyp characteristics
• Further research is required to determine optimal management of gallbladder polyps
