This paper focuses on the detection of bacteria and virus achieved by means of a miniaturize portable lab-on-chip (LoC) able to perform RNA/DNA amplification. The LoC is constituted by homemade microfluidic chips which are optically and thermally coupled to an optoelectronic (OP) thin film platform. OP device combines on a single glass substrate thin film heater, sensors for temperature control, and photosensors for fluorescence detection. The LoC was tested for performing loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for the detection of the bacteria Xylella fastidiosa subsp.

Our chapter contributes to the literature on financial crises by jointly considering the banks' balance sheet constraints with the limited--asset market participation (LAMP) assumption in an otherwise simple medium--scale New Keynesian economy. The assumption of limited participation in the asset markets and its implications for policies are investigated in, e.g., Galì et al. (2007), Di Bartolomeo and Rossi (2007a, 2007b), Bilbiie (2008), Colciago (2011), Motta and Tirelli (2012, 2015), and Albonico et al. (2015).
