? mil a Zelda, mercurial child of the hectic '20s, captured the love of novelist, F. Scott Fitzgerald. In a frenzied effort to match his genius she threw herself into painting, writing and ballet before tragically ending her life in a mental hospital.

In this paper we give an example of a countably-based algebraic domain D such that max(D) is Hausdorff but not regular in the relative Scott topology, and such that max(D) contains the usual space of rational numbers as a closed subspace. Our example shows that certain known results about max(D), where max(D) is regular and D is countably based, are the sharpest possible. MR Classifications: pr...

The Eckbo-Masulis (1992) theory predicts that a seasoned offer is more likely to be underwritten the higher the proportion of shares expected to be sold to new investors, and further predicts a negative relation between abnormal returns on announcement and sales to new investors. The evidence in this paper does not support these predictions. The proportion underwritten is determined primarily b...

In the biotechnology industry today, there are many business models for project commercialization. These models range from independent vertical integration to certain forms of collaboration with pharmaceutical companies to complete acquisitions of projects by the big pharmaceutical companies. In this thesis, we wanted to study commercialization strategies of several biotechnology companies. We ...

Beginning with Waite’s (1923) Fishes of South Australia, the marine fishes of South Australia (SA) have been increasingly well documented. Waite, Scott (1962) and Gomon et al. (1994) have recorded >210 species of cartilaginous and bony fishes for Gulf St Vincent (GSV) and Investigator Strait (IS). While this is potentially a bewildering array of sizes, shapes and colours, observant fishers and ...

General methods of investigating effectivity on regular Hausdorff (T3) spaces is considered. It is shown that there exists a functor from a category of T3 spaces into a category of domain representations. Using this functor one may look at the subcategory of effective domain representations to get an effectivity theory for T3 spaces. However, this approach seems to be beset by some problems. In...

Advances in medical and surgical therapy have gradually changed the type of patients cared for in Indian hospitals. Newer technologies and therapies have become common at many medical centers, resulting in many immune-compromised individuals. Also, care in specialized units and the use of invasive monitoring devices, parenteral nutrition, broad spectrum antimicrobial agents, and assisted ventil...
