The theory of capital investment is the cornerstone of the theory of macroeconomic dynamics, and the question of whether or not the agents involved in the investment decision have the information needed to make individually and collectively optimal choices is central to capital accumulation theory. New Classical and neoclassical theory assume that they do. Keynesian and Post Keynesian theory as...

The research profiled in this issue of CJNL provides important insights into contemporary issues for nursing in Canada. The papers individually and collectively deepen our understanding of why nurses enter nursing, relocate within Canada and remain in or leave their positions and the profession. Informed by the work and experience of the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA), this commentary explor...

CHEMICAL ANALYSES OF THE CELL WALLS OF ORGANISMS ISOLATED IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE WORLD FROM CASES OF LEPROMATOUS AND TUBERCULOID LEPROSY MAKE POSSIBLE THEIR ASSIGNMENT TO ONE OF THE THREE GENERA: Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, or Propionibacterium. One, bacterium 22M, remains unassigned. The combined chemical and enzymatic properties attributed to leprosy bacilli freshly harvested from leprom...

There are many, often life-threatening, rare/orphan diseases for which there are few or no therapeutic options. They individually affect few people, but collectively impose very high social and economic burdens. New approaches are bringing big pharma resources to solving the problem through drug repositioning of approved drugs. Advances are being spurred by public and private partnerships, gove...

Optical nanoantennas, i.e., elements transforming localized light or waveguide modes into freely propagating fields and vice versa, are vital components for modern nanophotonics. antennas have been demonstrated to cause the Dicke superradiance effect, collective spontaneous emission of quantum sources. However, impact coherent excitation on antenna performance, such as directivity, efficiency, ...

Background The extreme variability at the Killer cell Immunoglobulin like Receptor (KIR) expressed on the surface of natural killer cells interacts with Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Class I appear to play a crucial role in the outcome against viral infection. The combination of HLA/KIR gene products either individually or collectively have been implicated in the control of HIV-1 in various pop...

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of more than 50 inheritable disorders. Although individually rare, they collectively affect approximately one in 5,000 live births. Defective metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, or lipids resulting from deficiency of one of the many lysosomal enzymes leads to pathological accumulation of substances within the lysosomes. This lysosomal accumulati...

Iris recognition technology has the potential to broaden to include non-ideal imaging situations, as well as scale to national-level deployments. Hence, the study of population factors, subject intrinsics, and sensing contexts that can individually or collectively impact iris recognition performance assumes increased importance. This presentation summarizes recent research on a number of such “...
