This book analyzes the basic theories of new open economy macroeconomics, economic growth and policy choices in openness. It discusses the economic distortions in international capital flows and the mechanism through which shocks are amplified to affect macroeconomic stability, and the international correlation of China’s economic cycle. In addition, it highlights the macroeconomic impact of government expenditure on improving people’s well-being and the essential role of public goods and services provision. Finally, it investigates optimal wealth distribution and the corresponding social welfare function, offering valuable theoretical and practical contributions to the study of openness and macroeconomic stability.

This book shows the various sandwich assays that are constructed from recognition molecules, such as antibodies, oligonucleotide sequences and aptamers, developed as a result of nano- and biotechnology advances. It consists of ten chapters presenting interesting examples of these assays, organized according to the type of analytic methods (colorimetric, fluorescence, electrochemical, etc.) and detected objects (protein, nucleic acid, small-molecule, ion, etc.). It also includes a chapter discussing the introduction of sandwich assays as biosensors for the detection of a range of targets. It is an interesting and useful resource for a wide readership in various fields of chemical science and nanotechnology.
