blends were evaluated using cloud point analysis. Seven different diblock copolymers were used with varying PS/PB percent composition. The diblocks were introduced at 5% and 10% by mass amounts into five different PS/PB percent by mass solutions (25, 33, 39, 50 and 60% PB). The results showed that a shift in the critical temperature was present, both shifting the PS/PB composition of the blend as well as the temperature. With more extreme diblock compositions, a greater raise in the critical

, “global health activities” were responsible for creating nearly 44,000 jobs and generating $4.1 billion in “business activity” in the state. Let’s leave aside for the moment the question of whether we should even be trying to figure out how much money we can make by helping the world’s poorest. Let us just consider how this attempt to quantify global health in terms of the regional economy altered its meaning. The economic impacts were arrived at by virtue of incorporating into the analysis some
