Anti-competitive conduct, in-house R&D, and growth

How to conduct an appraisal of a senior house officer.

In a typical six month job, appraisal of senior house officers (SHOs) should be undertaken every two months. If there are clear appraisal objectives it is a rewarding exercise, maximising job satisfaction for SHOs and enabling the department to get the best out of them. The goals of an appraisal are: (1) Review of performance to date. (2) Objective setting. The SHO should be encouraged to ident...

RD-flatness and RD-injectivity

It is proved that every commutative ring whose RD-injective modules are Σ-RD-injective is the product of a pure semi-simple ring and a finite ring. A complete characterization of commutative rings for which each artinian (respectively simple) module is RD-injective, is given. These results can be obtained by using the properties of RD-flat modules and RD-coflat modules which are respectively th...

Competitive ability in male house mice (Mus musculus): genetic influences.

Conspecifics of many animal species physically compete to gain reproductive resources and thus fitness. Despite the importance of competitive ability across the animal kingdom, specific traits that influence or underpin competitive ability are poorly characterized. Here, we investigate whether there are genetic influences on competitive ability within male house mice. Additionally, we examined ...
