Government Subsidies and Industrial Productivity in South Africa: A Focus on the Channels by Brian Tavonga Mazorodze

“…Estimation is performed through an endogeneity robust panel stochastic frontier model, which treats subsidies as both an inefficiency driver and a technology variable. An additional estimation approach is proposed integrating the true fixed effects with a control function in a bid to account for both unobserved heterogeneity and idiosyncratic endogeneity. …”

Functional improvement of natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains by cell surface molecular engineering by Sara Granuzzo, Monica Rossetto, Lucio Zennaro, Francesca Righetto, Paolo Antoniali, Raffaele Lopreiato

“…Abstract Background Cellular boundaries of microorganisms can be modified by the expression in the cell wall of specific proteins endowed with relevant properties, improving their functional performance. So far, the surface display (SD) technique had been widely employed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but it was limited to few laboratory strains and never explored in sauvage strains, i.e., isolated from natural environment, which are featured by higher levels of genetic variability, leading to peculiar phenotypic traits of possible advantage in biotechnology. …”
